Miami HRT & Anti-Aging

TESTOSTERONE INJECTIONS VERSUS TOPICAL (TRANSDERMAL) CREAMS/GELS AND IMPLANTABLE PELLETS


One of our HRT doctors will determine the proper route of testosterone administration. We do this taking into account the patient’s preference. For instance, our physicians find that injectable testosterone therapy is the most efficient and effective way to increase testosterone levels. Transdermal creams have been shown to increase testosterone levels only slightly, if at all. In addition, it can take up to two hours for creams to fully absorb into the skin.

TESTOSTERONE PELLET THERAPY


In regard to pellets, they can be painful and they can sometimes malfunction. In addition the dosage cannot be adjusted once implanted by the doctor. About 30% of our patients have used pellets and were ultimately unsatisfied with the results. Nonetheless, the patient can choose which method he is most comfortable with during their testosterone replacement therapy treatment.
