BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT USING SOTTOPELLE PELLET THERAPY

This therapy is the most convenient and effective method of hormone replacement that involves the simple and painless insertion of a bio-identical hormone pellet under the skin.

Why Bio-Identical Hormones?

Bio-identical hormones are natural, plant-derived compounds that have the same molecular structure as those made by the human body. Unlike synthetics, our bodies can readily recognize and metabolize them.

Why do we need hormones?

We need balanced hormones to live healthy lives. As we age, our hormone levels decline. With an imbalance of hormones come several symptoms. Women will experience hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, weight gain, decrease in libido and memory. Men also experience a host of symptoms as they age and hormones become imbalanced. This male version of menopause is called “Andropause”. These symptoms include chronic fatigue, loss of energy, low sex drive, decrease in physical agility, memory loss and weight gain. Replacing the hormones using the SottoPelle method can help men and women return their hormones to healthy levels and improve their life.

How does Pellet Hormone Replacement, using the SottoPelle method, work?

When our ovaries or testicles were functioning properly, hormones were released into the blood stream in correct amounts. In menopause and andropause, the ovaries and testicles slow down their production of estrogen and testosterone until they reach a point where they are no longer able to keep up with the body’s demand. Using pellet replacements under the SottoPelle method, the pellets are able to take over the job of the ovaries and testicles.

After Dr. de la Torre has determined your hormone levels through blood tests, she is able to determine the bio-identical hormone replacement that is needed to bring your hormone levels in balance. Once inserted under the skin, the pellets deliver a constant stream of hormones into your blood stream twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week. Unlike other delivery systems like creams, pills or patches, the pellets work in partnership with your body to provide for its needs. When there are changes in your heart rate, an increase in blood flow over the pellets occurs. This in turn releases the needed amount of hormone into your blood stream. There is not any other bio-identical hormone delivery method that can provide the consistent delivery of balanced hormones that are needed for a healthy life.

How are pellets inserted?

The insertion of the pellets is a simple and relatively painless procedure and takes less than five minutes. Women are instructed to avoid vigorous exercises for 3-5 days while men must avoid vigorous exercises for 5-7 days.

Dr. de la Torre personally studied and trained with Dr. Gino Tutera and is excited to be the only Colorado physician to offer the SottoPelle pellet therapy. Schedule an appointment with Dr. de la Torre and return to a healthy balanced life.

This is not a SottoPelle® office. Dr. de la Torre has only been trained by Dr.Gino Tutera and SottoPelle® Dr. Tutera bears no responsibility for management of Allura's patients.
