Testosterone is the male sex hormone and normal testosterone levels are vital to normal male sexual development.
Testosterone helps boys during puberty develop male features like facial hair, a deeper voice, strength and muscle mass. Testosterone levels almost always lower with aging. The older the man, the lower the level of testosterone levels in the body. Some men have low testosterone levels even at a young age.
Testosterone peaks in the teens or 20’s, then drops year after year starting around age 30, so the levels differ by age group. The lab listed “normal” values are the average of everyone from age 16 to 100. This makes the terms “normal” and “low” unhelpful. Regenerative and anti-aging doctors use the term “optimal testosterone level,” which is typically the level of an average 40 year old man.
Safe and effective, treating low testosterone is a significant game changer for any man who wants to live life as optimally as possible. Within a few weeks, older men notice feeling like they did 5 or 10 years ago. And younger men who have low testosterone due to surgery, a testicle injury, an illness or hereditary reasons are shocked at the positive changes.
Initial visit: With Dr. Gustav Lo, we’ll collect a detailed history and discuss your symptoms and concerns. After your consultation, we give you a lab order for hormonal testing (bloodwork).
Visit #2: We’ll review your lab results and move forward with the appropriate pellet insertion and/or prescription regimen based on your individual needs.
Visit #3: After the pellets are placed, we’ll monitor your progress via bloodwork that shows your hormone levels as well as symptom improvement.
In the week prior to your follow-up visit, you’ll have another set of bloodwork drawn.
At your visit, we’ll review the results from your bloodwork, discuss improvements in symptoms that you’ve experienced, and move forward with the appropriate treatment regimen for you, which may include adjustments to the original pellet doses and plan.
Typically men need to come in 2-3 times a year to maintain optimal levels.
The Biote® pellet placement process is relatively easy and takes only about 15 minutes.
The Biote® procedure is a straightforward process that involves the insertion of a Biote® pellet under the skin near the buttocks. Prior to insertion, a mild local anesthetic is used to numb the area, and the pellet is then inserted, with a small bandage applied to cover the insertion site.
The entire process typically takes just 15 minutes, with minimal downtime required for recovery. Although it's common to experience slight swelling and redness at the insertion site for a few days, these symptoms should not persist for long. Following the procedure, we recommended you avoid strenuous activities for a few days, especially those that involve the lower body, to prevent any soreness in the insertion area.
It's also advisable to avoid baths and swimming, but showering is fine. Once the bandage is removed, you can resume your normal daily activities without any restrictions.
