Take Back Your Life

Are you experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, and lack of libido? Low testosterone may be to blame.

Starting around age 40, your testosterone levels begin to decrease, often by 1 to 2% per year. Over time, that adds up! While we can’t stop time for you, we can help you combat the effects of low testosterone with men’s hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones at Total Skin Dermatology and Aesthetics.

What to Expect from BHRT

1

Step 1: Consultation

We will review your symptoms and medical history. We will also ask you to undergo lab work so that we can analyze your hormone levels. With this information, we can determine the best way to rebalance your hormone levels and give you relief.

2

Step 2: Treatment

BHRT involves inserting a small bioidentical hormone pellet into a section of fatty tissue, typically in the upper buttocks or hip. We will numb your skin, make a small incision, and insert the pellet, which is only about the size of a grain of rice.

3

Step 3: Results

The pellet will release a consistent amount of hormones over the next 4 to 6 months, restoring your body to its normal balance. You will start to feel the benefits over the next few weeks as your hormone levels stabilize.

Our Approach at Total Skin

After your first hormone replacement treatment, we will schedule a series of follow-up appointments to check in with you. We will evaluate your body’s response and adjust your treatment plan if needed.

What BHRT Treats

Men’s hormone replacement therapy can help reverse the effects of decreasing testosterone. Balanced hormone levels can address some or all of the following symptoms.

  • Reduced sex drive

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Hair loss or balding

  • Loss of muscle mass

  • Fatigue

  • Weight gain

  • Depression

  • Mood changes

  • Joint pain

  • Muscle stiffness

Did you know…

Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to your body’s natural hormones, so your body can absorb them more easily!

Care Instructions

Pre-Care Instructions

  • For a week before your appointment, avoid blood thinners and NSAIDs, like aspirin or ibuprofen. Consult your primary care provider before discontinuing any medication.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising and bleeding.
  • You can expect your appointment to last about 30 minutes, and then you can return to your day!

Post-Care Instructions

  • You may experience some bruising, swelling, and redness around the incision site. These symptoms should resolve on their own within 2 to 3 weeks.
  • For the next 3 days, don’t soak in baths, hot tubs, or swimming pools. You can shower but don’t scrub at the incision site until it heals (about 7 days).
  • For 3 days, avoid strenuous activity that exercises the incision area, like running, squats, ellipticals, etc.

    Total Skin changed my life. I lived a confused, sad life with acne rosacea. Dr. Laframboise took one look at me and knew the cures for my skin problems. THANK you for the best 6 months I’ve had in forever. I feel comfortable with no makeup and I no longer look for the place in a room that doesn’t have harsh bright light to shine on the bumps on my cheeks. Now I’m bump free!

    Julia M

    I’m so glad I found Whitney and followed her to Total Skin! I’m 67 and I work as a flight attendant. I’m also not into needles. Many of my coworkers do Botox and fillers, but I can’t do it. Whitney had recommendations that have improved my skin while keeping within my budget and my crazy work schedule. I constantly get compliments on my skin from both my coworkers and my passengers. Thank you Whitney and Total Skin!

    Kirsten K

    Total Skin is everything you want in a dermatology clinic! Jen and her staff are phenomenal at what they do. I never feel pressured to purchase items or services like I had been at previous skin/esthetic clinics. They take the extra time to explain the different procedures and which ones would be best for my situation. I am so happy with my results! I highly recommend Total Skin!!
