Female HRT
DURATION
A Female HRT pellet insertion at The Spa by Sheena takes 5 to 10 minutes, performed after a separate Hormone Therapy Consultation ($150) and full baseline lab work.
PROCEDURE TYPE
Female HRT at The Spa by Sheena is classified as a therapeutic procedure, prescribed by our nurse practitioner to address documented hormonal symptoms with bioidentical pellets.
BODY AREA
Female HRT pellets at The Spa by Sheena are inserted subcutaneously into the upper hip or glute area, where they release estradiol and testosterone steadily over 3 to 4 months.
INDICATION
Female HRT at The Spa by Sheena treats documented perimenopause and menopause symptoms including hot flashes, low energy, low libido, sleep disturbance, mood changes, and brain fog.
THE PROTOCOL
What is female HRT pellet therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women using subcutaneous pellet insertion. Pellets contain bioidentical estradiol and/or testosterone, compounded to your specific lab values and clinical needs. The pellets release hormones steadily over 3 to 4 months per insertion.
What to expect from female HRT pellet therapy
The insertion itself takes 5 to 10 minutes after numbing. You'll see a small bandage at the site, which you keep dry for 24 to 48 hours. Mild bruising and tenderness at the insertion site are normal for several days.
Avoid soaking the insertion site (no swimming, baths, or hot tubs) for 5 days. Skip heavy lower-body exercise for 48 to 72 hours to let the site fully seal.
Initial effects from the pellets start within 7 to 14 days and stabilize over 4 to 6 weeks. We re-check labs at the 4 to 6 week mark on the first cycle to confirm dosing is on target, then again before each subsequent insertion.

THE APPOINTMENT
Inside a female HRT pellet appointment
Every patient starts with a Hormone Therapy Consultation ($150) and full baseline lab panel. Our nurse practitioner reviews symptoms, lab values, and goals. If pellet therapy is appropriate, we schedule insertion.
Insertion takes about 5 to 10 minutes. The site (typically upper hip / glute area) is numbed, a small incision made, pellets placed, and the site sealed. Follow-up labs at 4 to 6 weeks confirm dosing is on target. Re-insertion typically every 3 to 4 months.
GOOD TO KNOW
How HRT pellets compare to creams and oral hormones
Pellet HRT is one option for hormone replacement. We can also discuss creams, patches, or oral options if pellets aren't the right fit. Lifestyle factors (sleep, stress, nutrition, exercise) remain part of the plan; medication alone won't address symptoms that have lifestyle drivers.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help make your experience simple, transparent, and stress-free.
Female bioidentical hormone replacement therapy addresses symptoms of hormone decline: fatigue, weight gain despite consistent effort, hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, low libido, brain fog, sleep disruption, loss of muscle and strength. Replenishes estradiol, progesterone, and/or testosterone to optimize levels based on your individual labs.
What does Female HRT treat?
Anytime you have hormone-related symptoms confirmed by lab work. Common windows: perimenopause (typically 40s), menopause and post-menopause (typically late 40s onward), post-hysterectomy/oophorectomy (any age), and for some women in their 30s with documented hormone imbalance affecting quality of life.
When should I consider Female HRT?
Primarily estradiol and testosterone, sometimes with progesterone depending on whether you have a uterus. All bioidentical—structurally identical to your body's natural hormones, derived from plant sources. We dose based on individual lab values and symptom response.
What hormones are used in Female HRT?
Pellet insertion every 4 months on average. Bioidentical hormone pellets are rice-sized hormone implants placed under the skin (usually hip area) during a quick in-office procedure. Pellets release consistent doses around the clock—no daily creams or pills to remember.
How is Female HRT administered?
We numb the insertion site with local anesthetic before placement. Slight pressure during placement. Soreness at the site for about 7 days. Avoid swimming, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise for 5–7 days.
Does pellet insertion hurt?
Energy and mood improvements often noticed within 2–4 weeks of pellet insertion. Sleep and libido improvements at 4–8 weeks. Body composition changes (with consistent training) over 3–6 months. Average re-insertion occurs every 4 months. Schedule blood work 4 weeks after your initial insertion and a lab review at 5 weeks.
When will I feel results from Female HRT?
When properly screened and monitored, yes. We screen for contraindications before starting (history of certain hormone-sensitive cancers, blood clot disorders, active cardiovascular disease). Lab work monitored regularly. Bioidentical hormones at physiologic doses have a strong safety profile in patients without contraindications.
Is Female HRT safe?
Female HRT starts with a $150 consultation. Pellet insertion and dosing are quoted after labs come back, since cost depends on hormones and dosing your individual labs call for. Members receive discounted pricing.
How much does Female HRT cost in Lubbock?
Properly dosed HRT usually helps with weight management by restoring metabolic function and energy for exercise. Overdosing or wrong hormone selection can cause weight changes. We monitor closely and adjust to avoid this.
Will HRT make me gain weight?
Yes—perimenopause is actually one of the best windows for HRT. Hormone fluctuations during perimenopause cause many of the most disruptive symptoms (mood swings, sleep issues, hot flashes). Bioidentical HRT can stabilize hormones and dramatically improve quality of life through this transition.
Can I do HRT if I'm in perimenopause?
Comprehensive hormone panel: total and free testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, SHBG, DHEA-S, cortisol, thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, free T4), and complete metabolic panel including lipids. We may add markers based on your symptoms.
What labs do I need before starting?
Book a wellness consultation. We'll review symptoms, order baseline labs, and design a treatment plan based on results. If you have recent labs from another provider, bring them. Call (806) 701-5840 or book online.
