TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Are you considering testosterone therapy to help promote youthfulness, vitality and build lean muscle mass?

Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles. Testosterone levels generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As you age, the levels gradually begins to decline about 1% every year between age 30-40. Testosterone helps maintain muscle mass and strength, bone density, facial and body hair, sex drive, fat distribution and red blood cell production.

It is important to find out if your declining testosterone level is attributed to normal aging process or due to a disease (hypogonadism).

DO YOU HAVE LOW T?

Low T is a condition where your levels fall below the recommended range. The range is very broad, the low end being 347 and the high end being 1100. T levels around 347 may not be optimal. Men with levels around 347 can still benefit from supervised treatment plans

Oral: While vastly popular, medications prescribed to be taken orally to increase testosterone levels are also least effective as less than 1% of the medication is absorbed.

Under Arm: This is applied as a roll on under the arm to be applied daily. Although is a widely prescribed method by many physicians, it is the second least effective method in increasing serum testosterone levels.

Injections: This is the most effective form of treatment. Injections are provided to be self administered at your home after initial training and with our provider. This protocol provides the most stable serum levels.

Pellets: A device is implanted into the patient usually in the buttocks. This option is very expensive and needs to be refilled every 90days. A specific dose of the drug drips into the blood stream. This treatment doesn’t allow enough room for dose adjustments.

Creams: This is considered the best least invasive treatment. It is applied daily in the groin area. About 90% of treatment is absorbed into the body. This is a great option for older patients
