Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment designed to restore optimal testosterone levels in men living with low testosterone or hypogonadism.
In men, testosterone is a hormone produced in the testicles and has a crucial role in the development of the male reproductive organs and tissues during fetal development and puberty. In adult men, this hormone helps maintain sex drive, muscle mass, bone density, facial and body hair, sperm production, and mood regulation.
We understand that living with low testosterone can have profound effects on your mental and physical health. Our expert team at RBI Concierge Medicine provides specialized solutions to restore your vitality and well-being, always tailored to your specific needs.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) helps manage the symptoms associated with low testosterone levels in men. It can be administered in various forms, including the following:
TRT injections are administered directly into the muscle, usually in the thigh, buttock, or upper arm. These offer long-term results, usually requiring a reapplication every 1-4 weeks.
This method is often considered more effective but may cause discomfort at the injection site and requires consistent adherence to the injection schedule.
Topical TRT involves applying testosterone directly to the skin as a gel, cream, or patch for it to be absorbed into the bloodstream. These treatments are usually administered once per day. If combined with other ointments, topical TRT can cause irritation.
Sublingual testosterone is administered as a tablet that dissolves under the tongue and is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. This is a quick and easy administration but may lead to a shorter duration of results compared to other methods.
Pellets are small implants placed in your hip or buttock area. These release a steady, low dose of testosterone over several months, from 3 to 6 months.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can effectively address a wide range of health issues in men. Some of the benefits it offers include:
