Testosterone Replacement Therapy For Men
Low testosterone can affect many areas of a man’s life—energy levels, sex drive, mood, muscle mass, and more. At Elite Body and Laser, we offer testosterone replacement therapy for men who want to take control of their health, find balance, and feel like themselves again.
Low testosterone, also known as testosterone deficiency, is more common than many realize. It can develop gradually, often leading to symptoms that go unnoticed or are mistaken for normal aging. But when testosterone levels drop below the normal range for your age and health, it’s important to know that there are safe, effective treatments available.

What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) supplements the body with testosterone when natural levels have declined. It comes in several forms, including injections, topical gels, and patches. The goal is to restore testosterone levels and relieve the symptoms of low testosterone.
Men with testosterone deficiency often report improvements in the following areas:
- Low energy and fatigue
- Mood swings or irritability
- Decreased sex drive and performance
- Poor sleep
- Reduced muscle mass
- Difficulty concentrating
When properly supervised, testosterone replacement can improve quality of life and support long-term men’s health.
What Causes Low Testosterone?
Low testosterone levels can result from several factors. Age is the most common reason. After age 30, testosterone production often begins to decline gradually. Other causes may include:
- Certain medications
- Obesity
- Chronic illness
- Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea
- Injury or trauma to the testicles
- Hormonal conditions
Understanding the reason behind your testosterone deficiency helps us tailor the best treatment approach for you.
What to Expect from Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Testosterone replacement therapy typically begins with monitored dosing, followed by consistent follow-up. Most men begin to notice changes in energy, sleep, and mood within a few weeks. Sexual health, muscle strength, and focus often improve in the months that follow.
It’s important to remember that TRT is a medical treatment. Like any therapy, it comes with possible side effects, including acne or oily skin, increased red blood cell count, swelling of ankles or feet, and breast tenderness or enlargement.
There may also be an increased risk of certain conditions depending on your medical background. Our providers are here to monitor your response and adjust your care plan as needed.
What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
At Elite Body and Laser, we take a cautious and personalized approach to testosterone therapy. Before beginning treatment, we look closely at your full health picture and guide you through each step with care and transparency.
Here’s how to take a careful, informed approach to testosterone replacement therapy:
Take stock of your overall health first
Fatigue and low sex drive aren’t always caused by low testosterone. Diet, sleep, exercise, and mental health all play a role. These should be addressed first.
Consider other medical causes
Erectile dysfunction may be a sign of heart disease—not just low testosterone—so it’s key to evaluate other health factors.
Get an accurate diagnosis
Blood tests should be done between 7 and 10 a.m., when levels are highest. A second test confirms the result. Some cases may need more detailed hormone testing.
Monitor your progress during therapy
If you start treatment, regular checkups and lab work are needed to track testosterone levels and watch for side effects.
Understand the risks involved
TRT may not be appropriate if you have a history of prostate cancer, enlarged prostate with obstructive symptoms, or known heart disease. In these cases, replacement therapy may come with increased risk, and we’ll discuss alternative options if needed.
Maintain realistic expectations
TRT may help with energy, mood, and sex drive, but it won’t reverse aging or fix every issue. Additional treatment may be needed for erectile dysfunction.
We believe that thoughtful decisions lead to better outcomes. If you’re considering testosterone therapy, we’re here to help you explore your options with clarity, care, and clinical expertise.
