What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy or TRT?

Low testosterone replacement therapy, also referred to as TRT, is a medical treatment that uses implants, patches or topical gels to restore the natural hormone balance and to boost levels of testosterone in men with low T levels. TRT is used to treat a wide range of symptoms that include low energy levels, depression, changes in body fat and muscle mass, loss of body hair or facial hair and other side effects of low T levels. 

Our goal at Stellar Performance Medical is to get men feeling their best again. Call us today to see if TRT could help you.

 

Low Testosterone

It is estimated that 40 million men have low testosterone.

Low testosterone is an epidemic and is attributed to erectile dysfunction, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, insulin resistance, obesity, and muscle wasting. Low testosterone is also implicated in anxiety disorder, depression, and apathy. 

Hypogonadism, or low testosterone (low-T), is characterized by symptoms such as:

  • loss of muscle mass
  • low libido
  • brain fog
  • reduced bone density
  • poor recovery
  • chronic fatigue

Most men have a natural decline of testosterone by 1-2% every year after the age of 30. It is estimated that more than 40 million men in the U.S. have low testosterone, but are unaware of their condition.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction is a men’s sexual health condition where a man has trouble reaching and/or maintaining an erection. This condition is most commonly seen in men above the age of 40; however, it occurs in men of all ages and is very common.  ED occurs when internal systems and external stimulants do not work together in arousal situations. Due to the array of ED causes and the wide range of ages affected, we provide several treatment options.

Erectile Dysfunction Treatments

Medications. Oral medications are often the first line of treatment for erectile dysfunction. For most men who have trouble keeping an erection firm enough for sex (erectile dysfunction), these medications work well and cause few side effects.

Sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn), tadalafil (Cialis) and avanafil (Stendra) are oral medications that reverse erectile dysfunction by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical your body produces that relaxes muscles in the penis. This increases blood flow and allows you to get an erection in response to sexual stimulation.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). As the local leader in treating Erectile Dysfunction, we are committed to providing our patients with the best and broadest array of treatment options. ESWT is a non-invasive technology for treating ED that requires no pills, injections, or surgery. Like any procedure, results may vary depending on the individual; and, the program typically requires multiple treatments. 

Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments (PRP). PRP therapy is often recommended for men who experience ED due to the natural aging process. Penile tissue breaks down in the same way that tissues on the face and body do. PRP promotes the healing of soft and hard tissue by utilizing properties that accelerate the repair of aged and damaged tissue. PRP contains multiple growth factors, hormones, nutrients, protein stabilizers and bioactive compounds that are important for cellular and tissue regeneration – including penile health.

PRP works by utilizing the patient’s own blood which contains adult stem cells and growth factors. Blood is drawn from the patient and then placed in a centrifuge to remove the plasma and concentrate both the platelets of blood vessels and nerves. It has the potential to regenerate nerves, blood vessels, repair damaged tissue, decrease the inflammatory response and remodel vascular tissue in the penis to restore erectile function.

Luis Gomez, APRN, AGNP-BC, CEN, is also a a P-shot provider by the CMA group. 

If you’re regularly experiencing Erectile Dysfunction, then it’s a good time to consult a men’s sexual health professional. At Stellar Performance Medical, we provide discreet services that have been effective for thousands of men. Call us today to discuss treatment options for you.

Hair Loss

Androgenic alopecia, otherwise known as male pattern baldness, is estimated to affect that MORE THAN 35 MILLION MEN IN THE U.S.

Fortunately there are many treatments to help restore hair growth, but PRP Treatment is revolutionizing hair loss treatment. PRP injections can effectively regrow hair without the need for surgery and produce a very natural look. PRP is created using your body’s own regenerative blood factors, so there is no risk of allergic reaction.

What is PRP Treatment?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP injections can be effective in treating male pattern baldness, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. The treatment uses a patient’s own blood cells to accelerate healing in a specific area. To create platelet-rich plasma, clinicians take a blood sample from the patient and place it into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma. After creating platelet-rich plasma from a patient’s blood sample, that solution is injected into the target area.

The technique can address male pattern baldness and stimulate the growth of hair transplants. The results of PRP treatment are most noticeable after six months for scalp injections, and while the results from PRP are not permanent, they can last up to an average of 18 months, with 2 years being the longest reported effect. Additionally, patients may need a follow-up treatment once a year.

IMPROVE YOUR SEXUAL HEALTH AND VITALITY
The Priapus-Shot at Stellar Performance Medical, Ormond Beach, Florida is also known as the P-Shot, a treatment that is designed to improve erectile dysfunction, penis size and overall sexual wellness as well as performance. The P-Shot has been used to improve Peyronie’s disease. The P-Shot is unique due to its powerful body's natural resources to rejuvenate the penis.

 


OVERCOME ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Issues with obtaining a healthy erection, keeping an erection, and maintaining sexual desire can result in several factors such as obesity, uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, and psychological concerns, particularly anxiety,
 depression, or stress. The P-Shot is a specific way of using your natural resources to obtain growth factors that are necessary to rejuvenate your penis. It is a clinically proven, safe, and effective procedure to help you increase penis size, sexual performance , and overall sexual wellness without the use of surgery or medications.


Information Regarding Procedure
What the P-Shot treats= Increased sensation and pleasure, strengthened penis,
 straightened penis, improved circulation, Peyronie’s disease procedure time= 30 to 45 minutes recovery time= minimal to none side effects= minimal to none


P-Shot Procedure Steps

P-Shot inventor Dr. Charles Runels.

Step # 1 = Numb the penile shaft area with BLT (Benzocaine, Lidocaine, Tetracaine)
Step # 2= Draw a small amount of blood, blood is placed in a centrifuge, and the provider isolates platelets or PRP from blood samples all within 10 to 15 minutes step # 3= Activate PRP by combining the product with calcium chloride, this helps release growth factors that enhance the tissue to be injected into step # 4= Inject PRP into the penile shaft by sterile technique step # 5= A penis pump is provided and used for approximately 15 minutes immediately after the injections. This modality will continue for approximately 6
weeks after the procedure.
 Step # 6= Results in about 12 weeks. About 60 % of men improve after the first P-Shot procedure and approximately 85% are thrilled after a second P-Shot procedure. Typically, it takes about 12 weeks to experience full effect and procedures are spaced between 8 to 12 weeks to reach the desired potential.

How Does the P-Shot Work?

By means of research, Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP has been shown to help with erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, and sexual performance. PRP is created from a small sample of blood from the patient’s blood and it is spun in a centrifuge device to separate its plasma that is concentrated with platelets and growth factors.
 These combined products will help to increase collagen and elastin, and promote new blood vessels and nerve endings. Essentially, the procedure can improve erectile dysfunction and strengthen erections as well as appearance. Unfortunately, there are certain causes that may inhibit a healthy erection and these are smoking,
 vascular disease, uncontrolled diabetes and/or blood pressure, coronary artery disease, anxiety or stress, and metabolic syndrome.

ADJUNCTIVE TREATMENTS CAN RESULT IN DRAMATIC
RESULTS
Combining treatments can dramatically improve outcomes. When one pairs the P-
Shot procedure with treatments such as hormone replacement therapy, acoustic shock wave therapy or PDE5 inhibitors medications can get results that result longer. These modalities can be discussed during the consultation. Please ask us about optimizing your treatments.
