Testosterone Therapy for Men in Lansing, Michigan
Restore energy, strength, and vitality with bioidentical hormone optimization
Low testosterone affects more than just your energy — it impacts your mood, muscle mass, mental clarity, and overall quality of life. At Aqua Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer testosterone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormone pellets that deliver consistent, steady hormone levels for months at a time. Whether you're experiencing fatigue, low libido, or difficulty maintaining muscle, hormone optimization can help you feel like yourself again.
What Is Testosterone Therapy for Men?
Testosterone therapy is a medical treatment designed to restore optimal hormone levels in men experiencing low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism or “Low T.” As men age, testosterone production naturally declines — typically starting around age 30 and decreasing by about 1% each year.
Signs You May Have Low Testosterone
- Persistent fatigue and low energy
- Decreased muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat, especially around the midsection
- Low libido and sexual dysfunction
- Mood changes, irritability, or depression
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Poor sleep quality
How BHRT Pellets Work
At Aqua Aesthetics & Wellness, we use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) pellets — small, rice-sized implants placed just beneath the skin. These pellets release a steady, consistent dose of testosterone over 3 to 6 months, mimicking your body’s natural hormone release patterns without the peaks and valleys of other delivery methods.
Why Choose BHRT Pellets for Testosterone Replacement?
BHRT pellets offer significant advantages over injections, gels, and patches. The pellet delivery system provides steady hormone levels 24/7, which means no daily applications, no weekly injections, and no fluctuating symptoms.
- Consistent hormone levels without peaks and crashes
- Convenience — treatment every 3 to 6 months
- No daily routine or messy applications
- Bioidentical hormones derived from natural sources
- Lower risk of transfer to partners or family members
- Customized dosing based on your individual needs
The Testosterone Therapy Process at Aqua Aesthetics & Wellness
Starting testosterone therapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation and testing. We don’t believe in guessing — we use lab work to confirm low testosterone and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific hormone levels and health goals.
1
Initial Consultation and Testing
During your first visit, we’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and wellness goals. We’ll order comprehensive lab work to measure your current testosterone levels, along with other relevant hormones and health markers.
2
Pellet Insertion Procedure
Once your labs confirm low testosterone and we’ve designed your personalized protocol, the pellet insertion takes just 10 to 15 minutes. The area is numbed, a small incision is made (usually in the hip or buttock area), and the pellets are inserted beneath the skin. The incision is so small it typically requires only a small bandage — no stitches needed.
3
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, track symptom improvement, and adjust your dosing as needed. Most men notice initial improvements within 2 to 4 weeks, with full effects developing over the following months.

Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How do I know if I need testosterone therapy?
You need blood work to confirm low testosterone. If you’re experiencing persistent fatigue, low libido, difficulty building muscle, mood changes, or brain fog, lab testing can determine if low testosterone is the cause. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your symptoms and order comprehensive labs to measure your testosterone levels. We look at your symptoms in context with your numbers to determine if therapy is right for you.
How long do testosterone pellets last?
Testosterone pellets typically last 3 to 6 months. Your individual timeline depends on metabolism, activity level, and body composition. Athletes or highly active men may need more frequent insertions. We’ll monitor your hormone levels and symptoms to determine your optimal replacement schedule, which many men appreciate compared to weekly injections or daily applications.
Are there side effects with testosterone pellet therapy?
Most men tolerate testosterone pellets well when properly dosed and monitored. Potential side effects can include acne, increased red blood cell production, mood changes, or fluid retention. Some men experience minor bruising or tenderness at the insertion site, which typically resolves within a few days. We track your labs regularly to ensure hormone levels stay within optimal ranges and adjust dosing if needed.
Will testosterone therapy affect my fertility?
Testosterone replacement can suppress natural sperm production and may impact fertility. If you’re planning to have children, discuss this during your consultation so we can explore alternative treatments or protocols that support testosterone levels while preserving fertility. For men who have completed their families, this typically isn’t a concern.
Can I stop testosterone therapy once I start?
Testosterone therapy is typically long-term for men with consistently low levels. If you stop treatment, your testosterone will return to pre-treatment levels and symptoms will likely return. Some men choose to pause therapy to assess baseline symptoms or for personal reasons. We’ll discuss your options and support whatever decision feels right for your health.
How quickly will I feel results from testosterone pellets?
Most men notice improvements within 2 to 4 weeks after pellet insertion. Energy and mood often improve first, followed by changes in body composition, strength, and sexual function over the following 6 to 8 weeks as hormone levels stabilize. We’ll track your progress at follow-up appointments and adjust your protocol to optimize results.
