Your Hormone Therapy Treatment Journey
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation at Haven Medspa’s Yuba City location. Our medical specialists will review your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle before ordering a comprehensive hormone panel.
During this visit, we’ll talk about your health goals, like increasing energy, restoring libido, or improving mental sharpness, and explain how bioidentical testosterone therapy could help. After your lab results come in, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your hormone needs and overall health.
Treatment Day
On the day of your EvexiPEL® pellet insertion, your provider will begin by cleansing and numbing the small treatment area, typically located near the upper hip or buttock. A tiny incision is made, and the pellets are gently placed under the skin using a sterile applicator.
The process takes about 15 minutes, and a small bandage is applied afterward. Most people say it’s quick and almost painless, with very little downtime.
Post-Treatment Experience
You may experience slight soreness or bruising at the insertion site for a day or two, but you can return to your usual routine immediately. Avoid strenuous lower-body exercise for 48 hours to allow the area to heal properly.
Most men see better mood, energy, and mental clarity within a few weeks. As testosterone levels even out, strength, libido, and endurance also improve. Regular follow-up tests and visits every few months help keep your hormone levels in the best range.
Potential Side Effects and Safety
At Haven Medspa, your safety and long-term health come first. Every hormone replacement therapy program is supervised by experienced medical professionals and guided by detailed laboratory testing before, during, and after treatment. This ensures that your testosterone replacement therapy remains effective and balanced, never excessive.
Most men tolerate EvexiPEL® bioidentical hormone pellets extremely well. However, as your body adjusts to optimized hormone levels, a few mild and temporary side effects can occur, including:
- Slight acne or oily skin: Often short-lived and easily managed with topical skincare.
- Mild fluid retention: Typically minimal and resolves as your body stabilizes.
- Tenderness at the insertion site: A common, brief reaction that subsides within a few days.
- Temporary energy or mood fluctuations: Minor shifts are possible during the early adjustment phase.
Serious side effects are rare when therapy is properly prescribed and monitored. Your provider will track your testosterone levels, blood count, and other key markers to confirm your body is responding safely. If any imbalance arises, your dosage is promptly adjusted.
We prioritize individualized care, tailoring your treatment to your unique metabolism, age, and health history. This careful, data-driven approach minimizes risks while helping you experience the full benefits of restored hormone balance.
