Los Angeles Peptides Clinic · Women’s hormone care – Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) – Sexual Wellness
Women’s Testosterone Therapy Topical Gel in Los Angeles – Women’s Vitality & Metabolic Support Program – Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) – Sexual Wellness
A daily low-dose topical gel that may help support libido,
energy, and overall wellbeing in women with low testosterone
or symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
Testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone, but women
produce it too, and it plays a role in libido, energy, mood,
and muscle tone. When levels decline, often during perimenopause,
postmenopause, or due to other factors, some women experience
reduced sex drive, persistent fatigue, mood changes, or shifts
in body composition. Low-dose testosterone gel delivers a small
amount of testosterone through the skin to help restore levels
into a healthy physiologic range for women. It’s compounded by a
state-licensed pharmacy
at doses specifically formulated for women, which are typically
a small fraction of what’s used in male testosterone therapy.

and ensure they remain in the appropriate range for women.
Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed.
Why patients choose the gel
A daily routine that’s simple to apply
A non-injectable option for women hesitant about injections
Steady absorption through the skin rather than peaks and dips
Dosed specifically for women, not a fraction of a men’s product
Lab work is required
Women’s testosterone therapy is only prescribed to patients
with documented low testosterone or specific hormonal symptoms
confirmed by lab work. To Continue After 90 Days:
To monitor your response and ensure your testosterone stays
within the appropriate range for women, you will need to
complete a lab test within the first 90 days of using
testosterone therapy. You can
order our Women’s TRT Maintenance Panel
or complete it independently. The lab test must include the
following biomarkers: CMP, CBC, TSH, Free T4, Testosterone
(free and total), Estradiol, LH and FSH, SHBG, DHEA, Sulfate,
Progesterone, Cortisol serum AM, and Vitamin D.
Annually:
After the 90-day check in, the
Women’s TRT Maintenance Panel
will be required annually.
How it works
Apply a small measured amount of gel to clean, dry skin
once daily, per your clinician’s instructions. Common
application sites include the inner forearms or thighs.
Let the gel fully absorb before dressing or touching others.
After you place your order, you’ll complete a medical intake online and upload your recent lab work.
A licensed clinician reviews your labs and medical history
to determine whether testosterone gel is appropriate for
you. A brief telehealth appointment with the clinician is
required (at no extra cost) before a prescription can
be issued.
If approved, your medication is compounded and shipped
discreetly to your door. Most patients receive their first
order within one week of completing intake and lab review.
After your first delivery,
a new monthly supply arrives automatically every 4 weeks,
so you don’t have to remember to reorder. Your clinician
will schedule follow-up lab work periodically to monitor
your response. You can delay a shipment or cancel anytime
from your account.
Personalized by your clinician and adjusted over time
based on follow-up labs and how you respond.

A note on application
Apply to clean, dry skin and let the gel fully absorb before
dressing, exercising, or touching others. Testosterone can
transfer through skin contact, so avoid skin-to-skin contact
at the application site with partners or children until the
gel is fully absorbed. Wash your hands after applying.
Your clinician and care team can answer any questions
about safe application.
A note on what testosterone therapy is and isn’t
Testosterone therapy for women is a medical treatment for
symptoms tied to low testosterone, not a performance enhancer
or general wellness treatment. Testosterone given to women
who don’t have low levels does not improve energy or libido
and carries real risks, including effects on hair, skin,
and voice. Your clinician will only prescribe testosterone
if your labs and symptoms support a clinical need, and will
monitor to keep levels within the appropriate range for women.
Important to know
Testosterone is a prescription medication and a controlled
substance in the United States, requiring evaluation by
a licensed clinician.
Testosterone therapy for women is not FDA-approved.
The FDA-approved versions of testosterone are dosed for
men; testosterone for women is prescribed off-label,
based on a growing body of clinical experience and
international clinical guidelines. The Global Consensus
Position Statement on Testosterone Therapy for Women,
endorsed by major medical societies, supports testosterone
use specifically for hypoactive sexual desire disorder
(HSDD) in postmenopausal women.
This medication is compounded, meaning it’s custom-prepared
by a state-licensed pharmacy at doses specifically
formulated for women.
Testosterone therapy for women is dosed to maintain
physiologic female testosterone levels, not to raise
levels above the normal female range.
Possible side effects include acne, oily skin, unwanted
hair growth, and, with sustained high levels, changes to
voice or skin that may not fully reverse. Your clinician
will monitor for these and adjust your plan if needed.
Not everyone is a candidate. Your clinician will review
your medical history, possible side effects, and whether
this treatment is right for you.
Results vary and are not guaranteed.
