Men’s Vitality
Many men have sought treatment for various urologic conditions but also want to address the universal human condition of aging which is a consequence of cellular senescence and degeneration. Dr. Lander is involved in research projects studying the use of autologous (from your own body) fat derived stem cells to mitigate various degenerative diseases associated with aging and to determine if cell therapy can impact health as we grow older. It is not yet known definitively whether cell therapy can alter the aging process, but there appears to be some promising early indications that stem cells could be used clinically to mitigate a number of degenerative conditions. This is one of the major goals of preventative medicine.
Many patients who are seen for erectile dysfunction ED treatments or other urologic problems have concomitant degenerative conditions that require high numbers of stem cells from your own body to mitigate. Regenerative medicine using stem cell therapy may someday soon become the standard for holistic health treatments as we address aging and other chronic disease conditions in a new way.
Methods of Male Hormone Replacement
Creams
We have specially compounded testosterone creams using the latest technology to provide steady absorption and distribution for optimal effects. These creams can be compounded specially with other ingredients based on individual needs such as preventing conversion into other hormones.
Pellets
Pellets are compressed male hormones into small cylinders that can be implanted under the skin. The pellets are inserted in a brief office procedure associated using local anesthetic with minimal discomfort. Success with pellet therapy requires a fundamental knowledge of dosing and the various insertion methods. Patients report that pellets inserted under the skin maintain the highest steady state levels with maximum convenience, requiring re-insertion only a couple times per year.
Injections
Injections can be either given at our office or we can train our patients to do their own convenient self-injections. This is a very popular and effective method to replace testosterone in men.
