Testosterone Pellets for Men in Rockville & Reston

Testosterone pellets give you a steady dose for months from a single visit. No weekly shot. No cream every morning. Men come to HITx in Rockville and Reston when low testosterone has drained their energy, their drive, or their mood, and they want that back without a routine to keep up.

Why choose testosterone pellets over shots or cream?

Testosterone pellets are for men who want fewer dosing decisions. One insertion covers several months, so there is no weekly shot and no daily cream to remember. The dose stays fixed until the pellets dissolve. If you expect to change that dose before the next insertion, pellets are the wrong model. Injections, enclomiphene, cream, and oral testosterone are the other Testosterone Replacement Therapy options

What do men notice on testosterone pellets?

Libido and mood are usually the first things to move, often within a few weeks. Energy through the day comes next. Sleep gets deeper. The mental fog that rides along with low testosterone starts to lift, and focus is easier to hold.

It does not feel like a spike. Men describe an even stretch: no Sunday shot to remember, and no week where the last dose has started to wear off. Because the pellet releases testosterone while it dissolves, the way you feel in week two is closer to the way you feel in week eight.

How does testosterone pellet insertion work?

One visit at our Rockville or Reston clinic. You walk out the same afternoon, and the pellets do the rest for the next few months.

You come into the clinic

We numb a small area at the hip.

We place the pellets

A short incision, just under the skin. Most men are back to a normal day that afternoon.

You leave it alone

The pellets dissolve on their own and release testosterone as they break down. Nothing to pack when you travel. Nothing to do before work.

We bring you back when that stretch is ending

We look at how you feel and schedule the next insertion.

How do testosterone pellets compare with injections?

Pellets are the convenient choice. Injections are the adjustable one. To learn about Fertility-preserving care, cream, and oral testosterone check out our Testosterone Replacement Therapy page.

What is BioTE® for testosterone pellets?

BioTE® is the pellet we place for men. Each one is about the size of a grain of rice. After a numbing shot, we set it just under the skin at the hip, and it releases testosterone steadily into the bloodstream as it dissolves. The dose is set for that insertion. It does not get changed until the next visit, usually three to six months later.

Our Certified BioTE® Practitioners do the insertion at Rockville and Reston. You can learn more about women’s pellet therapy on our Hormone Therapy program.

Frequently asked questions

How long do testosterone pellets last for men?

Usually three to six months. We time the next visit from how you feel and from your labs, not from a date on the calendar.

What are the benefits of testosterone pellets?

Steady energy, a returning sex drive, a more even mood, and better sleep, without a weekly shot or a daily cream. The release does not rise and crash between doses.

Can you change the dose after pellets are inserted?

Not until the next insertion. That is the cost of not thinking about it for months. If you expect to adjust often, choose injections.

Do testosterone pellets affect fertility?

Yes. While the pellets are in, your body makes less of its own testosterone, and fertility usually drops. If you may want children soon, learn about our enclomiphene and Kyzatrex options.

Are BioTE pellets the same as testosterone pellets?

BioTE® is the system we use to place them. The treatment is still testosterone pellets for men.

Do you offer hormone pellets for women?

Yes. Learn more about our HRT options for women.

Do I need bloodwork first?

Yes. We confirm low testosterone before the first insertion. Bring recent labs if you have them and we will tell you if they are enough.

Do I need a referral?

No. Reach out directly either through our contact form or Call us directly at Rockville: 301-901-8309 and Reston: 703-465-1888
