Treatment Overview
Testosterone pellets are rice‑sized bioidentical hormone pellets placed just under the skin of the hip in a short office visit. They release a steady dose for three to five months, avoiding the peaks and troughs of creams and injections.
Reston Aesthetics is a Biote‑certified provider. Dr. Iskander doses each patient from their blood work, and both women and men benefit: energy, mood, muscle tone, libido and mental clarity.

Book TodayFrequently Asked Questions
Does insertion hurt?
Local anaesthetic makes it nearly painless. Expect mild tenderness at the site for a few days.
How long do pellets last?
Three to four months for women, four to five for men.
Are pellets for women too?
Yes. Low‑dose testosterone helps many women with energy, libido and mood, especially around menopause.
What should I avoid afterward?
Vigorous lower‑body exercise, baths and swimming for about three days.
Do I need ongoing labs?
Yes. Levels are rechecked before each insertion so dosing stays right.
