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.

What is Testosterone and Why is it Important?

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:

  • Bone and muscle mass production
  • Fat distribution
  • Sex drive and sexual function
  • Energy and mood
  • Production of red blood cells and sperm

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.

Candidates for TRT with Dr. Lanna Aesthetics

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:

  • Diagnosis of hypogonadism/low testosterone
  • Testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL
  • Symptoms associated with low T
  • Conditions affecting the testicles
  • Pituitary disorders
  • Other hormone deficiencies
  • Chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes

Our experienced practitioners will ensure testosterone therapy is appropriate before initiating treatment.

Unleash the Power of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

When administered properly under medical supervision, testosterone replacement therapy offers a wide range of benefits for men with low T, including:

  • Increased energy and stamina
  • Improved mood and sense of well-being
  • Reduced fatigue
  • More muscle mass and strength
  • Decreased body fat and increased metabolism
  • Better sexual desire, performance and satisfaction
  • Stronger bones and reduced fracture risk
  • Improved cognition and memory
  • Higher red blood cell production
  • Restored fertility and sperm production

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.

TRT Treatment Options with Dr. Lanna Aesthetics

Dr. Lanna Aesthetics offers several FDA-approved treatment options to safely and effectively restore testosterone to healthy levels based on each patient's needs:

Injections

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 Gels

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.

Patches

Transdermal testosterone patches deliver testosterone through the skin over 24 hours before replacement. Androderm is the only FDA-approved testosterone patch.

Pellets

Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin through a quick, minimally invasive procedure. The pellets slowly release testosterone over 3-6 months.

Oral Capsules

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.

What to Expect With TRT at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics

Our complete approach to testosterone replacement therapy ensures safe, effective treatment and optimal results:

  • Initial Evaluation & Blood Testing: We will conduct a comprehensive health evaluation, including a physical exam, review of symptoms, medical history and baseline blood work to check testosterone and hormone levels. This helps determine if you are a candidate for TRT.
  • Customized Treatment Plan: Your individualized treatment plan will outline the right medication, dosage, frequency and delivery method to restore your testosterone while minimizing potential side effects.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Patients will have regular follow-up visits and blood work to monitor treatment effectiveness and adjust the TRT regimen as needed. We carefully track progress and response.
  • Supportive Therapies: We may recommend supplements, dietary changes, exercise, stress reduction or other therapies to complement TRT and support overall vitality.
  • Expert Medical Care: Our experienced practitioners offer compassionate guidance and counsel throughout the TRT process to help patients feel and function their absolute best.

We make testosterone replacement therapy as convenient and hassle-free as possible while ensuring safety. Dr. Lanna will work closely with your primary care physician to coordinate the best treatment plan for your needs and goals.

Is TRT Safe? Understanding the Risks

Like any medical treatment, testosterone therapy does have some risks and side effects. However, these can be minimized with proper protocols under the supervision of an experienced hormone therapy specialist like Dr. Lanna Cheuck.

TRT may not be appropriate for men with:

  • Prostate or breast cancer
  • Severe urinary symptoms
  • Uncontrolled heart disease
  • Elevated PSA or hematocrit
  • Sleep apnea

Dr. Lanna Aesthetics carefully evaluates patients for risks and monitors all TRT patients for any potential adverse effects through lab testing and follow up. With proper precautions and guidance, TRT is extremely safe for most men.
