HORMONE PELLET THERAPY WITH DR. ANGEL PAAS
Experience. Analysis. Individualization.
Dr. Angel Paas has provided individualized hormone pellet therapy since 2017 and is approaching 6,000 patients treated. Her approach does not depend on a standardized commercial dosing system. Each recommendation follows an extensive review of symptoms, medical history, laboratory findings, individual characteristics, health considerations, and personal goals.
Pellets are one possible method of hormone delivery. They are placed beneath the skin through a small incision and release hormone over time. Because pellets cannot be removed or quickly adjusted as easily as some other formulations, candidacy and dose selection require careful discussion.
The consultation
Your first visit is designed to understand what you are experiencing and whether hormone therapy is appropriate. Dr. Paas reviews symptoms, personal and family history, medications, prior hormone experience, relevant examination findings, and laboratory information. She also discusses non-pellet options.
An individualized plan
If pellet therapy is selected, dose is determined for the individual rather than generated from a one-size-fits-all commercial protocol. Follow-up and communication are used to evaluate response, side effects, and future dosing decisions.
Symptoms patients often want to discuss
Patients commonly seek help for hot flashes, sleep disruption, fatigue, diminished well-being, changes in libido, difficulty maintaining strength, mood changes, or other concerns associated with the menopause transition. These symptoms can have multiple causes, and treatment results vary.
Benefits, limitations, and alternatives
No hormone therapy is risk-free or appropriate for everyone. Dr. Paas explains potential benefits, adverse effects, uncertainties, alternatives, and the practical differences between pellets and adjustable formulations before treatment.
What the procedure involves
For an appropriate patient, the skin is numbed and a pellet is placed beneath the skin through a small incision. Patients receive written aftercare instructions, activity restrictions, warning signs, and a follow-up plan.
