Frequently Asked Questions
At Antidote Aesthetics, we deliver bioidentical hormone replacement therapy through the Biote® Method, one of the most established BHRT protocols in the country.
Biote pellets are formulated from plant-derived hormones that match your body’s own molecular structure, allowing for steady, consistent hormone delivery rather than the peaks and drops common with pills or creams. This precision is central to how we personalize your treatment plan.
Biote’s BHRT in Virginia Beach uses plant-derived hormones matched to your body’s structure, offering steady symptom relief, improved energy, and fewer side effects than synthetic hormone alternatives.
Your initial BHRT consultation includes an in-office lab draw, so please arrive fasted for 8 to 12 hours before your appointment. We encourage you to drink water, but avoid food, coffee, tea, gum, and strenuous exercise the morning of your visit.
Continue taking your regular medications unless instructed otherwise. We’ll provide a snack after your lab draw, but if you have dietary restrictions, please bring your own. Because fasting labs are required, consultations that include lab draws must be scheduled for 1:00 PM or earlier. If your appointment is booked after 1:00 PM, we’ll contact you to reschedule.
Your initial BHRT consultation costs $550 and includes a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, detailed symptom review, and in-office lab draw. This fee also covers your follow-up visit, where we review your lab results, discuss your hormone profile, and create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
When providing Biote bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, our expert providers perform pellet insertions. We schedule appointments for reinsertion based on your hormone profile and your required dosage. Women usually visit our office for a follow-up dose every 3 to 4 months, while men typically visit us every 4 to 6 months, depending on their dosage.
Schedule a consultation with our team to determine if this approach is best for your needs.
We customize treatment using your comprehensive lab tests, symptom tracking, and medical history. After establishing a baseline at the beginning of your treatment plan, we work with you to determine what your optimal levels are.
Our goal is not to have you reach a clinical ‘normal’, but to find a hormone profile that feels healthy for you.
Patients experience results on a unique timeline. Some of our patients at Antidote Aesthetics report improved energy, mood, and sleep within weeks of beginning bioidentical BHRT in Virginia Beach. Patients notice initial improvements by week 4. Full stabilization of your hormones can develop in about 6 to 10 weeks, as we help you move closer to your ideal profile.
