Testosterone replacement therapy is a medically supervised treatment that brings testosterone back to a healthy range in men with clinically low levels. When testosterone is properly restored, men typically see improvements in libido and sexual performance, energy levels and stamina, muscle mass and physical strength, mood and mental well-being, and bone health.
TRT is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. The right dose, delivery method, and add-on medications depend on your symptoms, your lab values, your goals, and your medical history. That's why every treatment plan at Asia Pacific Aesthetics is built individually with Dr. Long.
Asia Pacific Aesthetics offers two primary delivery methods for testosterone. The choice is driven by your dosing preference, your lifestyle, and Dr. Long's clinical recommendation.
Injectable TRT allows precise dose control and frequent adjustment as your body responds. Most patients self-administer at home after initial training. Patients who prefer in-office administration can have their injections handled by our clinical team. Standard injectable testosterone is included in the $399 monthly membership.
Pellets are placed just beneath the skin during a brief in-office procedure. They release a steady dose of testosterone over four to six months. Pellet insertion is best for patients already stabilized on a dose who want a low-maintenance option and a closer match to physiological hormone levels. Pellet procedures are billed separately from the monthly membership.
During your consultation, Dr. Long will review the option that fits your hormone levels, goals, and lifestyle. Most patients start on injections to dial in the right dose, then have the option to transition to pellets later if they prefer.
When medically indicated and carefully monitored, TRT has the potential to offer meaningful improvements for men with diagnosed hormone deficiency. Benefits may include:
Many patients experience noticeable improvements in daily energy levels and overall physical stamina, making it easier to stay active and engaged.
TRT may help improve sexual desire, performance, and satisfaction for men with low testosterone.
Testosterone supports muscle protein synthesis, which helps maintain lean body mass and enhances physical performance.
Balanced testosterone levels are associated with enhanced mood, increased confidence, and improved mental clarity.
Testosterone plays a role in bone health, and TRT can help support bone mineral density over time.
Our team collaborates with patients to define their goals and expectations, ensuring that any treatment plan is tailored, realistic, and informed by ongoing medical oversight.
Dr. Long reviews every result personally. If your numbers are clinically low, we'll contact you to talk through your options.
A 30-minute appointment that covers your labs, symptoms, lifestyle, goals, and medical history. Dr. Long builds a personalized treatment plan. The consultation is $395 and patients already on testosterone elsewhere book directly into this step.
If you proceed with TRT, you enroll in the Asia Pacific Aesthetics testosterone membership. Membership covers your medication, all visits with Dr. Long, all monitoring labs, and ongoing clinical oversight. Add-on medications such as HCG (for fertility preservation) and anastrozole (when clinically indicated) are available at a flat monthly rate. You're free to cancel at any time. No long-term contract.
Insurance is not accepted for TRT at Asia Pacific Aesthetics. Membership can be paid month-to-month or annually. Cherry and PatientFi financing are available for patients who prefer to spread costs over time.
The consultation with Dr. Long is $395 for a 30-minute appointment. If you proceed with treatment, the consultation cost effectively becomes part of your first month of care.
Insurance is not accepted for TRT at Asia Pacific Aesthetics. The $399/month membership model is designed to be transparent and predictable. Cherry and PatientFi financing are available for patients who prefer to spread costs over time.
Your testosterone medication, all visits with Dr. Long, all monitoring labs, and ongoing clinical oversight. Add-on medications like HCG ($75/month, for fertility preservation) and anastrozole ($35/month, when clinically indicated) are billed separately at flat monthly rates.
Yes. The membership is month-to-month with no contract. The annual prepay option saves two months but is not required.
TRT can suppress sperm production, which is why Dr. Long discusses fertility goals during the consultation. For patients who want to preserve fertility, HCG can be added to the protocol at $75/month. Patients with active fertility plans may be better served by a fertility specialist using clomiphene or enclomiphene. Dr. Long will guide that conversation.
TRT carries real risks that should be discussed, but most concerns are manageable with proper monitoring. The 2023 TRAVERSE trial provided strong evidence that TRT does not increase cardiovascular events in men with hypogonadism. Hematocrit is monitored at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and every 6 months thereafter. PSA is evaluated when clinically indicated. Side effects are exactly why ongoing monitoring is built into the membership.
This is where having an in-person specialist matters most. Dr. Long looks at the full picture: your symptoms, your Free Testosterone, your SHBG, your Estradiol, your lifestyle factors, and your goals. A number that looks borderline on paper might be the answer to why you've been feeling off, or it might not. The point of the screening and consultation is to figure out which.
Results come back to Dr. Long in 8 to 9 days. He reviews every result personally, and we'll reach out to discuss what your numbers mean and what your options are from there.
