Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offered by Dr. Lanna Aesthetics can help men suffering from low testosterone reclaim their health, vitality and quality of life.
As an experienced medical aesthetics practice led by Dr. Lanna Cheuck, a renowned Master Injector, we provide customized and carefully monitored testosterone treatments to meet each patient's needs.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone that plays a crucial role in men's health and vitality. It is responsible for the development of male physical characteristics and reproductive tissues. Testosterone also helps regulate important body functions including:
A man's testosterone levels peak during adolescence and early adulthood. After age 30, testosterone levels start to decline naturally by about 1% per year. Chronic medical conditions, hormonal disorders, injuries, infections, medications and poor lifestyle habits can also impact testosterone levels.
When testosterone levels dip below normal ranges, men may experience symptoms like fatigue, depression, low libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass and bone density, increased body fat and other issues that can significantly lower their quality of life. This condition is known as hypogonadism or low T.
Testosterone replacement therapy may be recommended for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone coupled with blood test results showing below-normal testosterone levels.
Our skilled medical professionals carefully screen patients to determine if they are good candidates for TRT based on health history, blood work, examination and evaluation of symptoms.
TRT is not right for all men experiencing low energy, sexual problems or other issues. Our goal is to pinpoint the underlying cause and determine if testosterone deficiency is a contributing factor. If so, we can create an individualized testosterone treatment plan to help patients restore hormonal balance and feel their best.
Some common candidates for TRT include men with:
Our experienced practitioners will ensure testosterone therapy is appropriate before initiating treatment.
When administered properly under medical supervision, testosterone replacement therapy offers a wide range of benefits for men with low T, including:
In addition to relieving low T symptoms, normalizing testosterone levels can have a big impact on men's overall health and mortality risk. Studies show TRT may help reduce cardiovascular risks, manage type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and improve outcomes for various chronic illnesses.
Dr. Lanna Aesthetics offers several FDA-approved treatment options to safely and effectively restore testosterone to healthy levels based on each patient's needs:
Testosterone injections are the most common TRT method, providing immediate relief of low T symptoms. We use injectable bioidentical testosterone designed to mimic natural testosterone production. Options include testosterone cypionate or testosterone enanthate injections, typically administered 1-2 times per week.
Topical testosterone gels provide daily testosterone directly through the skin. Gels must be applied at the same time each day. Brands we prescribe include Androgel, Testim and Fortesta.
Transdermal testosterone patches deliver testosterone through the skin over 24 hours before replacement. Androderm is the only FDA-approved testosterone patch.
Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin through a quick, minimally invasive procedure. The pellets slowly release testosterone over 3-6 months.
Methyltestosterone oral capsules may be appropriate for some patients. However, oral testosterone can have more side effects due to metabolism by the liver.
We will help determine the right form of TRT based on the patient’s lifestyle, preferences, treatment goals and health profile.
Our complete approach to testosterone replacement therapy ensures safe, effective treatment and optimal results:
