Is Biote therapy safe?

Biote uses hormones that mirror your body’s natural chemistry, which makes the therapy well-tolerated for most patients. Dr. Kessler ensures safety through detailed lab testing, personalized dosing, and regular monitoring so you feel supported at every step.

How long do the pellets last?

Most pellets release hormones steadily over three to four months. Your treatment schedule is tailored to your metabolism, lifestyle, and how you respond over time.

When will I start to feel better?

Many patients notice changes in energy and sleep within a few weeks, while full benefits develop after two to three months as hormone levels stabilize.

Are there side effects?

Mild swelling or tenderness around the pellet site is common and resolves quickly. Some patients experience temporary shifts in mood or fluid retention as their body adjusts, but these effects are usually mild and short-lived.

How does pellet therapy compare to other options?

Unlike pills, creams, or injections, pellet therapy provides a steady, consistent release without daily dosing. Many patients prefer Biote for its convenience, reliability, and fewer hormone fluctuations.

Biote® Hormone Therapy in Newport Beach

Rediscover Energy, Balance, and Confidence at Any Age

When your hormones fall out of balance, it can feel like something essential has gone missing. Fatigue, weight gain, restless nights, and mood changes often appear without warning.

At Dr. Kessler’s Newport Beach practice, Biote Hormone Therapy or bioidentical hormone optimization therapy offers a safe, physician-led approach to helping you feel like yourself again.

This treatment blends advanced science with a concierge level of care so you can age with vitality and clarity.

What Is Biote Hormone Therapy?

Biote Hormone Therapy uses plant-derived hormones that closely match those naturally produced in your body. Our clinic uses the Biote system, a pellet-based method that delivers a steady dose of hormones over several months.

Unlike pills or creams, Biote helps you maintain consistent levels without daily management. For many men and women, this means fewer fluctuations, improved well-being, and greater ease in daily life. Bioidentical hormones are particularly effective for restoring energy, sharpening focus, and supporting sexual health.

Who Is a Candidate for Hormone Optimization?

Men and women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond often benefit from therapy when hormonal decline starts to affect daily life. You may be a candidate if you feel persistent fatigue, experience mood changes, struggle with weight gain or muscle loss, or have noticed shifts in sleep or libido.

During your consultation, Dr. Kessler will complete a thorough evaluation and order detailed lab testing to confirm if Biote therapy is right for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your experience begins with a personal consultation and lab work to assess hormone levels. Dr. Kessler reviews your results and designs a treatment plan customized to your goals.

On the day of pellet placement, he numbs a small area near your hip and inserts the pellet just under the skin. The process is brief and comfortable, and you can return to most activities immediately. Over time, the pellet releases consistent doses of hormones, helping restore balance without the ups and downs of other methods.

What to Expect After Your Procedure

Mild tenderness or bruising at the insertion site is common for a few days. Most patients start to feel improvements within a few weeks, including better sleep, steadier moods, and more energy.

Full results typically develop over two to three months as your body adapts. Dr. Kessler monitors your progress through regular check-ins and lab tests to fine-tune your treatment and maintain the results you expect.

Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Patients often say they feel renewed and empowered after starting hormone therapy. Many report deeper, more restorative sleep, greater mental clarity, and smoother moods. Libido usually improves with strength, stamina, and the ability to maintain a healthy weight.

Over time, balanced hormones can also support healthier skin, hair, and bone density, making this treatment part of a proactive approach to graceful aging and long-term vitality.

Cost of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy in Newport Beach

Treatment costs vary depending on your plan and the number of pellets needed. Dr. Kessler will explain all pricing details during your consultation so you feel confident about your investment.

Many patients see the value in a long-term solution that replaces daily medications with consistent, reliable results.
