2 Easy, Effective Methods of Testosterone Therapy

Wondering about the easiest, most effective way to get testosterone therapy? At MDL-Medispa in Lakeland, FL, we offer two leading ways to keep your hormone levels steady. Testosterone injections and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) both offer strong results and great convenience. Our experienced nurse practitioners take the time to discuss and understand your needs so we can help you find the ideal hormone-balancing solution for your life. We provide energetic, empathetic care, making sure every patient feels respected and valued. 

When it comes to testosterone therapy, we find that most men choose injections or BHRT pellets for their reliability, precision, and fast results. They’re both easy ways to get the hormones you need so you can focus on feeling your best. 

How Testosterone Treatments Work

Testosterone injections, which you typically have every one to two weeks, deliver the hormone directly into your muscle, where it’s steadily absorbed into your bloodstream. This allows for predictable, consistent hormone levels that can improve energy, strength, mood, and focus, without the ups and downs that can happen with other methods.

With BHRT, our experienced providers perform a pellet insertion procedure in the office. Through a very small incision, your specialist places a customized dose of testosterone pellets in the fatty layer of the skin (usually in the upper buttock or lower abdomen.) These tiny pellets, each about the size of a grain of rice, slowly and steadily release hormones over several months to keep your hormone levels stable. Just as with injections, this helps you avoid the spikes and dips that can happen with other types of hormone replacement. 

The Benefits of Injections and Pellets

Injections and pellets offer:

• Precision dosing that’s customized for your needs
• Rapid symptom relief, quickly improving issues like fatigue, mental fog, and low libido
• Steady results thanks to predictable absorption. This leads to fewer hormone fluctuations.
• Convenience, with quick appointments of only about 15 minutes in our office

Injections and pellets also allow us to closely monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring your therapy stays effective over time.

What About Topical Treatments?

While topical testosterone (creams, gels, or patches) can be an option for some men, it requires strict daily application. One of the main concerns about topical application of testosterone is the potential for transfer to others. Transferring topical testosterone accidentally to women, children, or pets can be dangerous. If you use topical testosterone, you must be sure to wash your hands immediately before and after use and always keep the application area covered. Avoid any skin-to-skin contact until your skin is washed and dried. 

Injected and pellet testosterone tend to provide stronger, more consistent results without the daily maintenance. Overall, studies show that these methods offer advantages that topical therapy does not. For example, these testosterone methods can provide increased protection against bone and muscle loss compared to topical testosterone.
