Male Testosterone Therapy
Many of the problems associated with symptoms of male menopause or low t symptoms can be overcome with hormone replacement therapy for men. The goal of which is to restore testosterone levels to a healthy norm. The male body enjoys its healthiest testosterone levels between the ages of 25 to 30. For most men this means a free testosterone level of 200pg to 350pg. Unfortunately, as we age our testosterone levels decline and we experience male hormone imbalance symptoms. Read on to learn more about testosterone therapy, testosterone supplements, and testosterone hormone replacement therapy for men.

Facts About Testosterone Therapy for Men
- Fact: At ReNEW MAN our hormone replacement therapy testosterone treatment is done using twice-weekly, self-administered testosterone injections or a daily application to the skin of topical testosterone cream. More delivery methods are discussed below.
- Fact: Results of your testosterone treatment will start to be felt in about 2 weeks, with your testosterone hormone imbalance symptoms resolved in 4 to 5 weeks. See what to expect from testosterone therapy
- Fact: It is critically important that your other male hormones are balanced along with testosterone – thyroid, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), Cortisol,– and that good lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise and to the extent possible stress, are maintained.
- Fact: Testosterone should be given in frequent, small doses, mimicking what the body does naturally.
- Fact: Estrogen (estradiol) should be controlled at a level of 15pg to 40pg. Our testosterone doctors will use an estrogen suppressant medication as necessary.
- Fact: Testosterone, particularly in the doses used by men with testosterone hormone imbalance symptoms should NEVER be taken by mouth. Oral testosterone in the doses used by men has a high probability of causing liver damage.
Information About Male Testosterone Supplements
At ReNEW MAN we offer two safe and effective methods for testosterone therapy:
Testosterone Injections:
About 95% of clients use testosterone injections to increase testosterone. Those using topical cream tend to do so because they are needle phobic. At ReNEW MAN we recommend the use of testosterone injections Here’s why:
- Male Testosterone injections offer a preset, measured amount of testosterone for your body
- Injections offer a good time release of testosterone with twice-weekly injections.
- Testosterone is suspended in oil and injected into the hip or thigh where it “pools” in the muscle. As blood flows by this “pool” of testosterone, small amounts are released into the blood stream thereby mimicking the natural timed release of testosterone in the body.
- There is less conversion of testosterone to DHT the stronger testosterone with testosterone injections. This means less chance of causing stress to the prostate.
- Self-administration is simple and painless using a small 5/8 – 25G needle.
Testosterone Topical Cream:
- Testosterone topical cream has its benefits, especially for men who prefer not to use needles for their testosterone treatment:
- Testosterone topical cream offers good time release of testosterone into the body through daily application to the skin
- However, absorption can vary depending in the condition of the skin. i.e. composition, moisture, etc.
- Caution must be exercised to ensure that transference does not occur through skin-to-skin contact with other people.
- There is a higher conversion of testosterone to DHT with testosterone topical cream as the testosterone passes through the hair follicles of the skin.
Note: Delivery Methods We Do Not Use:
Testosterone Pellets:
Testosterone pellets were first introduced in 2005 as a method for replacing testosterone and addressing hormone imbalance symptoms. A testosterone pellet is a small, half-inch long pellet that is surgically placed under the skin and releases testosterone into your system for about 4 to 6 months. The use of pellets grew for about a year until those using them recognized certain problems and limitations.
- Pellets tend to put too much testosterone into the system for the first several weeks after being implanted and too little for several weeks toward the end of the implant.
- Pellets offer very little flexibility for needed changes to dosage as hormones become imbalanced again. If there is too much testosterone in the body, estrogen levels increase which can have negative health effects such as prostate cancer (link). If there is too little testosterone released, patients often have to supplement with testosterone cream.
- Some physicians will recommend testosterone pellets because they can often use a surgical procedure code as a basis for charging a higher fee. Make sure you ask your physician the hard questions so you are informed about your options.
Testosterone Patches:
Testosterone patches have been around for quite some time and were very popular with urologists until about 4 years ago. Patches involve the use of a commercially produced patch that is usually applied to the scrotum.
- Though testosterone patches provide good time release, they tend to be—as you can imagine—quite uncomfortable.
- Doses are typically 5mg, which is inadequate for the average man in need of testosterone hormone replacement therapy.
At ReNEW MAN, we do not use testosterone pellets or testosterone patches, nor do we use any unsafe or unproven delivery methods for testosterone therapy for men. Testosterone supplements and testosterone hormone replacement therapy is safe and effective if you work with a trained physician and a quality program. ReNEW MAN doctors have been conducting testosterone hormone therapy for men since 1999. They do one thing and they do it very well – they treat male hormones.
