Testosterone Injections

Testosterone injections are typically administered intramuscularly (into the muscle) or subcutaneously (under the skin). Common injection sites include the thigh, glutes, or deltoid. We provide complete training on proper injection technique so you can safely self-administer at home.

Most men inject weekly or every two weeks, depending on the testosterone ester and your individual response. Weekly injections typically provide more stable hormone levels with fewer peaks and troughs. We'll determine the optimal frequency based on your labs and how you feel.

Most men describe the injections as minimally uncomfortable—a slight pinch. We use small gauge needles that make the process quick and relatively painless. After a few injections, most patients barely notice it.

Yes! After training at our clinic, most patients self-administer their injections at home. We provide complete instruction on proper technique, needle disposal, and what to do if you have questions. Many men prefer the convenience of home injections.

Most men notice improved energy and mood within 2-3 weeks. Libido improvements typically occur at 3-6 weeks. Muscle and body composition changes become noticeable at 3-6 months. Full optimization usually occurs at 6-12 months of consistent treatment.

Injections offer the highest absorption rate and most precise dosing at the lowest cost. Pellets provide long-acting convenience but require an in-office procedure every 4-6 months. Gels/creams are applied daily but have lower absorption and risk of transfer to others.
