About Testosterone Replacement Therapy 

As the years go by, it's natural to sometimes find yourself looking back at the energetic days of your youth.

That's where Testosterone Replacement Therapy can come in. It involves a personalized treatment plan utilizing specialized medications to elevate hormone levels in your body.

It can have a positive impact on bone density, muscle mass, mood, sex drive, and even red blood cell development.

Testosterone Replacement Treatment 

When you visit Hibiscus and Honey for your Testosterone Replacement treatment, Dr. Gunn-Samson will personally go through the results of your blood test with you. She will take the time to explain the treatment process and address any questions or concerns you may have. If you are eligible for pellet therapy, Dr. Gunn-Samson will perform a gentle procedure near your hip, making a small incision. Using a specialized instrument called a trocar, she will carefully insert several tiny pellets, each about the size of a grain of rice, beneath your skin. These pellets are designed to gradually release testosterone over a period of 3-4 months. This approach ensures a steady and consistent hormone level to support your overall well-being. At Hibiscus and Honey, you can trust that your comfort and care are our top priorities throughout your treatment journey.

If you choose intramuscular injections as your preferred method, Dr. Gunn-Samson will skillfully administer the testosterone treatment directly into your gluteal muscle. These injections typically need to be received every 10-14 days to maintain optimal hormone levels. To ensure that your treatment is effective and tailored to your needs, you will have regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Gunn-Samson. During these appointments, she will monitor your progress and assess your testosterone levels. If necessary, adjustments to your treatment plan will be made based on your specific requirements. Whether you opt for pellet therapy or testosterone injections, you can trust that your next appointment will provide an opportunity for personalized care and refinement of your treatment plan.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy? 

Dr. Gunn-Samson provides her patients with plant-based hormone replacement medication. This medication has a molecular structure that closely resembles the testosterone naturally produced in the body, making it bioidentical. This approach offers several advantages compared to animal-derived and synthetic hormone replacement therapies, which may pose more risks and side effects. By opting for bioidentical hormones, patients can potentially experience fewer complications and side effects. At Hibiscus and Honey, we understand that each patient's journey with hormone replacement therapy is unique. That's why we prioritize personalized care, tailoring your treatment plan to meet your individual needs and optimize your experience with hormone replacement therapy.
