With the wide range of treatment options for low testosterone available, we know it can be overwhelming and confusing to know which option is the best one for you. 

That’s why we’re breaking down two of the most common treatment options: testosterone pellet therapy and injection therapy.

Read on to understand the differences between testosterone pellet therapy and injection therapy so that you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

 

Testosterone Pellet Therapy

 

 

Testosterone pellet therapy allows you to enjoy convenience and lasting results. 

 

How does it work?

When you start testosterone pellet therapy, a healthcare provider will first take some time to help you understand your low testosterone symptoms and how to treat them. To do this, they’ll conduct a comprehensive low T screening and medical evaluation that will help them determine your needed dosage.

Within days of this medical assessment, you’ll be set to start your testosterone pellet treatment. During this procedure, a doctor or healthcare professional will implant small pellets directly into the subcutaneous dermal layer of your skin, typically in the upper hip or glutes.

These pellets, resembling the size of a grain of rice, contain crystallized testosterone that administers a consistent, low dosage of the hormone for three to six months at a time, or until your next implantation—which occurs roughly three months later. During this time, your medical team will continually monitor your progress and testosterone levels to ensure you continue to receive the correct dosage.

Testosterone pellet therapy is a great testosterone replacement option for busy men. Following the initial implantation, you’ll only need to return every three months for ongoing treatment. Whether you manage a hectic job, travel frequently, or maintain a packed schedule, testosterone pellets offer a time-saving and efficient means to elevate testosterone levels.

Moreover, the procedure for implanting testosterone pellets is safe and quick, granting you enhanced control over both your schedule and well-being.

When will you see the results?

Testosterone pellets offer relief from low T symptoms without elevating testosterone beyond normal levels—making pellet therapy a swift, secure, and efficient treatment option. 

Once implanted, you may experience relief from low T symptoms within three to four weeks, with significant enhancements in energy, weight management, libido, mood, and more anticipated within 60 to 90 days.

 

Testosterone Injection Therapy

 

Testosterone injection therapy is one of the safest, most reliable forms of T replacement therapy.

 

How does it work?

Much like testosterone pellet therapy, the first step with testosterone injection therapy is understanding your symptoms and testosterone levels. After your medical and testosterone screening, your healthcare professional will help you decide on a treatment plan based on your specific needs

At this point, your doctor will inject the hormone into your muscles weekly (usually in your glutes). Since the testosterone is administered directly into your bloodstream, your body will absorb it directly.

Because of the regularity and frequency of this treatment, your physician may recommend you begin testosterone treatment with injections over other kinds of therapy as it can be the easiest method to help you find the right testosterone dosage to relieve your low T symptoms without raising your red blood cell count. 

Much like with testosterone pellet therapy, these treatments are fast and easy with injections only taking around 10 minutes or less. Likewise, testosterone injection therapy treatments are designed by a doctor and medical professionals who will continually monitor your progress through monthly testosterone screenings and bi-annual health screenings.

 

When will you see the results?

Over time, testosterone will continue to increase with each dosage until your T levels are back to normal, but this will happen in a gradual way that feels natural to the body. You should start seeing a difference within the first 30 days of your treatments with major changes happening in 60 to 90 days.

The regularity of this treatment leads to visible results and minimal fluctuation in physical and mental wellness. Plus, the repeated fixed dosage of testosterone injections allows you to reach a higher T level without extreme variations, which decreases your chances of mood swings or physical health changes as a result of testosterone therapy.

 

While both options are effective ways to manage your testosterone levels, understanding the differences between testosterone pellet therapy and injection therapy can help you feel more empowered to find the right option for you!

Plus, regardless of which treatment you decide on, both of these testosterone therapies are designed and monitored by medical professionals to ensure that you receive the right testosterone dosage over time—unlike pills, creams, and other over-the-counter gimmicks—giving you a safe treatment you know you can rely on.
