Feeling exhausted despite getting enough sleep? Struggling with brain fog, weight gain, low motivation, poor recovery after exercise, or a declining libido?
Many men and women assume these changes are simply part of getting older. While aging can certainly play a role, hormone imbalance is often an overlooked factor that may affect energy, mood, sleep, body composition, sexual health, and overall well-being.
At KLS Aesthetics, we offer comprehensive hormone evaluations and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help patients better understand what may be contributing to their symptoms and determine whether treatment may be appropriate.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body. Treatment is designed to help optimize hormone levels and support overall wellness, energy, and quality of life.
At KLS Aesthetics, we offer EvexiPEL® hormone pellet therapy, which provides a steady, consistent release of hormones over time. This approach helps many patients avoid the peaks and valleys that can sometimes occur with other hormone delivery methods.
Why Patients Choose Hormone Pellet Therapy
Convenient Treatment
Forget remembering daily:
- Creams
- Gels
- Patches
- Frequent injections
Most patients require pellet insertion only about three times per year. Once placed, the pellets work quietly in the background, delivering consistent hormone support.
Consistent Hormone Delivery
Hormone pellets are designed to release hormones steadily over time, helping maintain more stable hormone levels and reducing fluctuations that some patients experience with other treatment methods.
Quick In-Office Procedure
Pellet placement is performed in our office and typically takes only a few minutes. Using EvexiPEL’s proprietary insertion system, the procedure is designed to be quick, comfortable, and minimally invasive, allowing most patients to return to normal activities shortly afterward.
Benefits Patients Often Report
While every patient responds differently, many individuals report improvements in:
- Energy and stamina
- Mental clarity and focus
- Mood and motivation
- Sleep quality
- Libido and intimacy
- Exercise recovery and resilience
- Ability to build and maintain muscle mass
- Overall sense of vitality and well-being
Many patients seek hormone optimization because they simply want to feel capable, strong, energized, and fully engaged in the activities and relationships that matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Therapy
How do I know if my hormones are out of balance?
Symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, low libido, mood changes, weight gain, and reduced exercise recovery may be associated with hormone imbalance. Comprehensive laboratory testing and a consultation can help determine whether hormones may be contributing to your symptoms.
What is the difference between pellet therapy and hormone creams?
Hormone pellets provide a steady release of hormones over time, while creams require daily application and may result in varying absorption rates. The best option depends on your individual needs and health history.
How often are hormone pellets inserted?
Most patients require treatment approximately every three to four months, though timing varies based on individual hormone levels and treatment goals.
Can men receive hormone pellet therapy?
Yes. Hormone optimization may benefit both men and women experiencing symptoms associated with hormone imbalance.
Will insurance cover hormone pellet therapy?
KLS Aesthetics does not bill insurance for hormone pellet therapy. However, many patients are able to use HSA or FSA funds toward treatment expenses. We recommend checking with your plan administrator for eligibility.
Important Considerations
If you are a cancer survivor or have a history of hormone-sensitive cancer, please consult with your healthcare provider before pursuing hormone replacement therapy. We carefully review your health history, laboratory results, and physical assessment to determine whether treatment may be appropriate for you.
