BioTe
Laser Esthetica offers BioTE, a hormone pellet therapy, to help patients who are experiencing hormone deficiencies. With BioTE, Roseville patients can replenish and balance out hormones to address a number of issues, including fatigue, low sex drive, mood fluctuations, lack of motivation, brain fog, and anxiety.
Hormone Deficiencies
People’s life spans are consistently much longer than they were during earlier points in history. In the past, people didn’t live to reach their 70s, 80s, or 90s. Unfortunately, even though we live longer, our body’s ability to produce the necessary hormones does not match this new lifespan.
When we reach our 30s, our hormone production begins to decrease. This process accelerates as we reach our 40s and 50s. A deficiency in vital hormones can disrupt a person’s daily routine and reduce the overall quality of life.
I’ve been a client of Dr. Prasad for nearly 10 years, and not once have I felt disappointed with the level of professional care and quality of service I’ve received. In fact, just the opposite. Dr. Prasad and each and every member of Dr. Prasad’s staff makes you feel that you have their undivided attention, and that you care is of utmost importance. Courtesy, privacy, efficiency, value and outstanding care are the hallmarks of this office. Simply the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience, and sad beyond words that we are leaving the state, as Dr. Prasad, Debbie and others in the office will be sorely missed.

Hormone Therapy with BioTE Pellets
BioTE pellets are high-quality pellets composed of testosterone and estrogen. The hormones used to form the pellets are bioidentical and are sourced from plants that are capable of mimicking the human body’s natural hormones. By replacing the decrease of hormones, we are able to diminish the symptoms that arise from these hormonal imbalances.
These pellets are quite small, only a little larger than a grain of rice, and are inserted into the body through a minimally invasive procedure. Once they are inserted, they actively release small doses of the hormone over a period of time, safely restoring the body’s hormonal balance.
The Benefits of BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy
BioTE hormone therapy offers numerous mental, physical, and emotional benefits:
Mental Benefits – Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has a positive impact on cognitive functioning in women experiencing postmenopausal symptoms. It resolves issues such as hot flashes, night sweats, and problems sleeping. It also reduces brain fog and improves mental capacity in men with low testosterone.
Physical Benefits – BHRT can relieve physical symptoms like physical exhaustion, fatigue, weight gain, and low bone density. In women ages 50-60, it also can provide protection against life-threatening ailments such as heart disease.
Emotional Benefits – BioTE hormone replacement therapy can alleviate several emotional symptoms, such as anxiety, mood fluctuations, irritability, low sex drive, and stress.
Why Choose BioTE Over Other Hormone Treatments?
Alternative treatments like transdermal, oral, and injection therapy often create unwanted side effects like hormonal surges that result in energy and mood fluctuations. Because of these issues, patients typically prefer BioTE treatments.
There are also pellet treatments from brands other than BioTE, but these brands have not performed the extensive scientific research that BioTE has performed. Only BioTE’s research allows them to produce the best hormone pellets available. BioTE hormone pellets allow patients to receive smooth and consistent levels of the hormone over the course of 3-6 months.
Your Initial Consultation
Everyone experiences hormone imbalances differently and has unique symptoms. As a result, the path to finding the right balance of hormones using BioTE varies from patient to patient.
We evaluate your entire health history and lab results to understand the symptoms that you are experiencing. After that evaluation, Dr. Prasad will develop a personalized treatment plan and will guide you throughout the entire process.
We continue to monitor you regularly by looking at your symptoms and monitoring your blood to ensure that we are achieving ideal results. This allows us to optimize your hormone levels effectively.
BioTE is based on a three-prong approach. The treatment optimizes testosterone for men and optimizes testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone for women. It also optimizes thyroid hormone by using natural desicated thyroid hormone. Thirdly, we look at various other metabolic factors for both men and women so that they can function better thru the use of neutraceuticals.
The BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy Procedure
BioTE hormone therapy is a safe and effective procedure that Dr. Prasad will customize to address your specific needs. During the procedure, Dr. Prasad will make a tiny incision in the flank, and insert the pellets below the skin’s surface.
BioTE hormone pellets generally last in women for 3-4 months and in men for 5-6 months before a new treatment session has to be scheduled.
Patients undergoing BioTE therapy report feeling relief from their symptoms in as little as 4 weeks. Every patient is different, so complete hormone optimization may take up to 6 months.
How Much Does BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy Cost?
