Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Regain peak health and reclaim your life
As men age, it’s natural to lose strength, energy, and libido. These symptoms were an unavoidable part of getting older in the past. Today, science has found a way to slow down the aging process and restore youthful functionality, giving men of every age an opportunity to live their best life. The secret is rebalancing the body’s hormones.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy Treatment
When you visit Holos MD for your Testosterone Replacement treatment, our TRT specialist will review the results of your blood test with you. They will discuss the treatment and address any questions you may have. If you are a candidate for pellet therapy, a tiny incision near your hip and insert between 2-10 small pellets, each the size of a grain of rice, under your skin using an instrument called a trocar. The pellets will slowly release bio-identical testosterone over the course of about 3 to 4 months.
If you opt for intramuscular injections, our specialist will administer the testosterone treatment directly into the gluteal muscle. You will need to receive the injection every 7-14 days. You will have routine follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and testosterone levels. The treatment plan will be adjusted as needed when you come in for your next appointment for pellet therapy or testosterone injection.
