The Treatment
Men's BHRT
Men's BHRT prescribes testosterone, and where appropriate supporting hormones such as DHEA, in molecularly identical form to what your body produces. The goal is restoration to healthy young-adult levels, not supraphysiological enhancement. Delivered via gel, cream, or injection depending on lifestyle and clinical need.
Men typically describe the change as feeling like themselves again, sharper, more capable in the gym, more present at home and at work. Improvements usually begin within 4–6 weeks and consolidate over 3–6 months. BHRT is a long-term commitment, monitored carefully and adjusted as needed.

About
What it is, how it works.
How it works
Testosterone is the principal male hormone responsible for muscle, energy, libido, mood, and metabolic regulation. Levels typically peak in the early 20s and decline gradually from the late 30s onward, a process known as andropause. BHRT restores testosterone to healthy levels, allowing these systems to function normally again. Every protocol is designed and monitored by Dr Martin Galy with regular blood work and symptom tracking.

FAQs
Your Questions, Answered
Not necessarily. Many men prefer gel or cream applied daily. Injections (typically once or twice weekly) suit men who prefer less frequent dosing. Your physician will recommend based on your physiology and lifestyle.
Yes, testosterone therapy suppresses your body's natural production of sperm. If you plan to have children, discuss this before starting. Alternatives such as hCG-based therapy can preserve fertility.
Mild acne is possible early on. Testosterone may accelerate male-pattern hair loss in men predisposed to it. Both can usually be managed with adjustments or supportive treatment.
Energy and mood often improve within 3–4 weeks. Strength, libido, and body composition continue to improve over 3–6 months.
BHRT is generally long-term. Many men stay on it indefinitely. You can stop at any time, but symptoms will return.
Generally no, BHRT is typically a private-pay programme in both the UK and UAE. We can provide receipts for any insurance reimbursement claims.
No. BHRT restores testosterone to healthy physiological levels and is medically monitored. Anabolic steroid abuse uses supraphysiological doses outside medical supervision.
Yes. Men's BHRT runs at both the London and Dubai clinics, with seamless care across both locations.
Yes, restoring testosterone improves muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and training response. Combined with structured training and nutrition, results are significant.
Initial 60-minute consultation, followed by blood testing, then a results review. Treatment begins after that. The full assessment process typically takes 3–4 weeks.
