At Pure Balance, we prioritize steady levels, which is why we utilize a minimum of twice-a-week dosing. Now, before you think, "𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬? 𝘕𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵," we have good news!
Forget the "old-school" giant needles in the glute. We use tiny insulin needles for both methods, making the process virtually painless.

This involves injecting into the fatty tissue (like the abdomen, back of the arm, or thigh).
Best for: Our female patients.
The Perk: It’s incredibly easy and provides very stable hormone levels.
The Catch: Because men typically require a larger volume of testosterone, injecting into fat can sometimes leave small, firm bumps. They aren't harmful, but they can be itchy or annoying.

This is our "Gold Standard" for men. We use a thin insulin needle to reach the muscle (usually the deltoid or outer quad) without the discomfort of traditional IM injections.
Best for: Our male patients.
The Perk: Muscle tissue absorbs larger volumes of oil much more efficiently than fat. This means no "lumps" or "bumps" while maintaining a comfortable, quick experience.
The Bottom Line: Whether it’s SubQ or Shallow IM, our goal is to make your treatment effective, steady, and, most importantly, painless.
