At La Chelé Medical Aesthetics, we understand that hormone balance is a cornerstone of overall health and vitality. One innovative approach to addressing hormone imbalances is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), which has been making waves in the wellness community. This therapy is designed to help both men and women who are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, reduced libido, and mood changes. Our dedication to cutting-edge treatments ensures our patients receive the best care to enhance their well-being.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Benefits of TRT include:

  • Improved energy levels.
  • Enhanced libido.
  • Increased muscle mass and bone density.
  • Improved mood and cognitive function.
  • Overall well-being.

Responses to TRT can vary among individuals, with some noticing symptom improvement within weeks, while others may require more time to realize full benefits. Importantly, testosterone therapy is not limited to men; women also produce testosterone and can benefit from optimized hormone levels to address symptoms like decreased libido, fatigue, and mood changes.

What is the best age to start TRT?
The best age to start TRT varies depending on individual health factors and symptoms. Generally, it is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, which can occur at any age due to various factors.

How long does it take for TRT to work?
The effects of TRT can vary. Some individuals notice improvements in symptoms within weeks, while others may take longer to experience full benefits.

Is testosterone therapy only for men?
While testosterone is often associated with male hormones, women also produce testosterone and can benefit from optimized hormone levels to address symptoms like decreased libido, fatigue, and mood changes.

Can TRT help with weight loss?
TRT may help improve body composition by increasing muscle mass and reducing fat mass, but it is not specifically a weight loss treatment. It can support overall health improvements that may contribute to weight management. For those specifically interested in weight loss, we recommend a personalized consultation with a medical weight loss provider. 

How is TRT administered?
TRT can be administered through various methods, including injections, pellets, creams, and gels. The process of administration depends on individual preferences and medical advice.

What symptoms indicate low testosterone levels?
Common symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, reduced libido, mood changes, depression, difficulty concentrating, and decreased muscle mass. A medical evaluation can confirm low testosterone levels.

How often should TRT be monitored?
Patients undergoing TRT should have their hormone levels and overall health monitored regularly by a healthcare provider. This typically includes blood tests and follow-up consultations every few months.

Can lifestyle changes impact testosterone levels?
Yes, lifestyle changes such as improved diet, regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep can positively influence testosterone levels and overall hormone balance.
