Testosterone Pellets — Hormone Replacement Therapy in Lima, Peru
Bioidentical microimplants with sustained release for 3 to 6 months. No daily pills, no weekly injections — under medical supervision by Dra. Geldres.
What are testosterone pellets?
Testosterone pellets are bioidentical microimplants the size of a grain of rice, placed under the skin in an outpatient procedure of approximately 30 minutes. Once inserted, they release testosterone in a steady, sustained manner over 3 to 6 months — restoring physiological hormone levels without the fluctuations of pills, injections, or topical gels.
Unlike traditional hormone treatments, pellets mimic the body's natural release: a stable dose, no peaks or valleys. That means consistent energy, better sleep quality, restored libido, and sustained emotional well-being — without remembering daily pills, scheduling weekly injections, or applying messy gels.
At Elyzea, our advanced aesthetic medicine center in Miraflores, Lima, hormone therapy with pellets is supervised personally by Dra. Geldres, board-certified plastic surgeon. There are two doses, 100 mg or 200 mg, and you choose which one; before the application, Dra. Geldres reviews your medical history and symptoms.

Frequently asked questions
No. While traditionally associated with men, women also produce testosterone naturally and benefit from therapy when their levels drop — especially during perimenopause and menopause. The dose for women is significantly lower (typically 100 mg) and benefits include restored libido, energy, muscle mass, and emotional well-being.
Between 3 and 6 months, depending on your individual metabolism, the dose applied, your physical activity level, and other physiological factors. At each follow-up, Dra. Geldres can better estimate when you'll need the next application.
You don't need lab tests beforehand; if you already have recent results, you can bring them to your appointment.
The area is anesthetized with local anesthesia before the microincision, so the procedure itself is painless. You may feel pressure during trocar insertion. In the 48-72 hours afterward, mild discomfort or tenderness in the area is normal — similar to a small bruise.
Some patients notice improvements in energy and well-being from the first week. Full clinical effects — libido, physical recovery, sleep quality, mood — establish themselves between the second and fourth week, once the pellets have reached their stable release level.
Like any medical treatment, hormone therapy can have side effects. The most common are mild and temporary: bruising or tenderness at the application site, mild fluid retention, possible skin changes. That's why the follow-up with Dra. Geldres after the application matters. Continuous medical supervision minimizes the risks.
Yes, but with temporary restrictions. Avoid intense exercise (heavy lifting, HIIT, contact sports) for 5 to 7 days to allow the microincision to heal properly. Gentle walking and normal mobility are allowed from the next day.
Once placed, pellets release testosterone throughout their useful life (3-6 months). They cannot be easily removed without a small additional intervention. That's why, before the application, Dra. Geldres reviews your medical history, medication and symptoms. After 3-6 months, you can simply not apply the next dose if you decide not to continue.
