Testosterone Therapies

​

Intramuscular Injections: Testosterone cypionate is used in a dose appropriate level based on lab values and personalized needs. This method provides replacement therapy that is relatively short acting requiring quick and near painless injections every 7-14 days. 

BioTE Pellet insertion: Contains bio-identical hormones derived from plant based natural sources and is compared to our natural testosterone found in our bodies. Pellets are dosed appropriately based on your lab values and personal needs and inserted just under the skin in a quick in-office procedure and are left in place for 3-6 months depending on your gender.
