BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy in Teaneck, NJ
BioTE hormone pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that uses small, compounded hormone pellets placed beneath the skin to release estradiol or testosterone gradually over several months. At Xthetics Med Spa in Teaneck, NJ, BioTE therapy is designed to address selected symptoms associated with hormonal changes, including menopause-related concerns. Unlike daily pills, creams, or frequent injections, hormone pellets provide sustained hormone delivery without daily administration.
Each BioTE treatment plan is tailored to your medical history, hormone-related symptoms, laboratory results, and individual health goals. That may mean evaluating hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, or other symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. Treatment begins with a medical consultation and appropriate laboratory testing to determine whether hormone therapy is suitable. Follow-up visits help monitor your response, potential side effects, and ongoing treatment needs.
BioTE hormone therapy care at Xthetics Med Spa is provided by Leticia Camacho, DMSc, PA-C, under the medical supervision of Richard Gajdowski, MD.
Xthetics Med Spa is located at 185 Cedar Lane L1 in Teaneck, NJ, and welcomes patients from Englewood, Hackensack, Bergenfield, Fort Lee, Paramus, and communities across Bergen County.

How does BioTE hormone pellet therapy work?
Once a pellet is placed in the fatty tissue beneath the skin (usually the upper hip or buttock), it acts as a long-acting reservoir, releasing hormones gradually into your bloodstream as it dissolves over roughly **3 to 6 months**. This steady-state delivery is designed to mimic your body’s own natural hormone secretion — and because your cardiovascular system helps regulate uptake, delivery tends to rise with activity, when your body may need it most.
Just as important is what happens before the pellet is ever placed. Your dose is not standardized; it is calculated individually from your pre-insertion bloodwork and symptoms, then fine-tuned over time using follow-up labs. This lab-guided approach is central to how we practice at Xthetics: we treat your numbers *and* your symptoms together.
How is BioTE different from pills, creams, or injections?
Many hormone therapies require daily attention or produce a “roller coaster” of hormone levels. Pills must be taken every day and are processed by the liver first; creams and gels can transfer to partners or children and can be inconsistent; injections can spike and then dip between doses.
BioTE pellets are designed to release a steady, low dose continuously for months at a time, with no daily routine to remember, no transfer risk, and fewer peaks and valleys. For many patients, that convenience and consistency is the main reason they choose pellet therapy over other options.

Is BioTE hormone pellet therapy right for me?
Good candidates are typically peri- or menopausal women and andropausal men with **lab-confirmed** hormone imbalance plus symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, mood changes, poor sleep, or hot flashes — who prefer a steady, low-maintenance option over daily creams or frequent injections.
BioTE is not appropriate for everyone. A medical evaluation and clearance are required, and pellet therapy is generally not recommended for people with a history of estrogen-sensitive cancers (breast, ovarian, or uterine), blood-clotting disorders, cardiovascular disease or stroke, liver disease, or migraine with aura, or for anyone who is pregnant or may become pregnant. Thyroid or adrenal concerns are typically addressed first. The best way to find out whether BioTE is right for you is to schedule a consultation so Leticia can review your health history and labs with you.

How effective is BioTE, and when will I notice results?
Most patients begin to notice changes within the first few weeks, with effects continuing to build over roughly 6 to 12 weeks as hormone levels stabilize. Full optimization can take up to about six months, and some patients need a second insertion cycle before they feel their best. Because everyone metabolizes hormones differently, your provider is the best source for realistic, personalized expectations — and follow-up labs help confirm you are in your optimal range.
