What is BioTe® Hormone Optimization at PCH MedSpa?
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants, such as wild yam or Soy. They match the exact structure of hormones made by the human body.
At our Corona Del Mar facility, Dr. Kaveh Karandish focuses on the BioTe Method. This method uses pellet therapy placed under the skin. It provides a steady release of hormones into the bloodstream for several months.

BioTe® Hormone RX Frequently Asked Questions
How long do BioTe pellets last?
Pellets typically last between 3 and 6 months, depending on your activity level, metabolism, and gender. Most women find a 3-4-month schedule optimal, whereas men often require re-pelleting every 5-6 months.
When will I start feeling better?
While results vary, many patients report initial symptom relief within 72 hours to three weeks. The second insertion typically reaches complete optimization and peak benefits.
Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Recovery is minimal. We suggest avoiding challenging lower-body exercise, hot tubs, and swimming for about 3 to 7 days after insertion. This facilitates proper healing of the small incision.
