TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT
THERAPY & TESTOSTERONE PELLETS
Testosterone replacement therapy utilizes testosterone pellets therapy to improve symptoms associated with andropause and menopause. At Paukman BioAge Clinic, Dr. Paukman uses small implantable testosterone pellets that are placed under the skin and provide a consistent, reliable, continuous dose of testosterone. This is very natural for your body since your body is constantly exposed to testosterone.
WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY AND TESTOSTERONE PELLETS?
WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY AND TESTOSTERONE PELLETS?
Testosterone pellet therapy, also known as Testosterone pellets, is a type of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT pellets are custom-compounded hormones that are pressed into tiny pill-like natural testosterone pellets at an FDA approved (503B) outsourcing facility. The testosterone in testosterone pellets mimics your body’s naturally produced testosterone and pellets can be inserted into the lower abdomen or the buttocks. Once inserted beneath the skin, pellet therapy is able to gradually release a consistent amount of testosterone so that there are no fluctuations in your testosterone levels.
Testosterone replacement therapy is very safe when done under the guidance of a trained physician and hormone specialist who will closely monitor blood levels. Any negative side effects occur very rarely and are usually mild. Typically, Dr. Paukman can manage these minor complications with simple adjustments or dose changes.
TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR MEN
Testosterone pellet therapy for men can help ease hormonal imbalances associated with andropause. Testosterone in males is responsible for maintaining bone density, fat distribution, sex drive, sperm production, and more. After the age of 30, men experience a 1% decline in testosterone each year. Low testosterone in men is responsible for a reduction in libido, weight gain, mood swings, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, and more. Testosterone pellets for men can help increase libido, improve muscle tone, and enhance mood and mental health.
TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR WOMEN
Testosterone pellet therapy, also known as Testosterone pellets, are a type of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). These BHRT pellets are custom-compounded hormones that are pressed into tiny pill-like pellets. The testosterone in Testosterone pellets is designed to act and be absorbed just like the testosterone your body naturally makes. Testosterone pellets can be inserted into the lower abdomen or the buttocks. Once inserted beneath the skin, pellet therapy is able to gradually release a consistent amount of testosterone so that there are no fluctuations in your testosterone levels.
Testosterone replacement therapy for women has been shown to enhance sex drive, but also to improve their muscle strength, bone density, or mood—other possible benefits attributed to this therapy.

ARE TESTOSTERONE PELLET DOSES CUSTOMIZABLE?
Dr. Paukman can fully customize your dose of testosterone pellets to suit your particular needs. Each patient requires a different amount of testosterone to correct their deficiency, depending on how low their levels of testosterone are. The total quantity of Testosterone pellets will also vary from patient to patient. Dr. Paukman will meticulously study each patient’s case in order to prescribe the correct dosage of Testosterone pellets. If needed after hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Paukman can adjust your dose to a smaller or larger amount to better suit your individual needs.
