Topical Syringes

Why do we use syringes for hormone creams?

We use special syringes to give you the exact dose your body needs—no guessing, no mess.

  • Accurate: Each line on the syringe measures out the right amount of cream.
  • Consistent: Helps you apply the same dose every day, which is important for getting good results.
  • Cleaner and Easier: Less mess and less waste compared to jars or pumps.

Just remember: the syringe helps with dosing, but how well your body absorbs the hormone depends on where and how you apply it.

3ml Topical Syringe (For Small Doses)

This syringe is ideal for very precise, small doses—as little as 0.1 ml. You’ll typically use this if your hormone cream dose is on the lower side or if it changes in small steps.

  • Great for accuracy: Each tiny line measures 0.1 ml, so you can be exact.
  • Easy to control: Ideal when your provider is adjusting your dose gradually.

Think of this as the “fine-tuning” syringe.

10ml Topical Syringe (For Larger Doses)

This syringe is used for higher-volume doses, usually between 0.5 ml and 1 ml. It’s a better fit if your cream dose is larger and doesn’t require tiny adjustments.

  • Covers more volume: Easier to load and apply larger amounts.
  • Less frequent refills: Holds more cream, so it may last longer between fills.

This is your “everyday use” syringe when your dose is steady and higher.

Always check for special instructions from your doctor—some patients may have personalized directions.

Where to Apply

  • Use hairless, thin-skinned areas with good blood flow:
    Inner thighs, back of knees, or upper inner arms (biceps/triceps area).
  • Apply each cream to a different area—don’t layer them on top of each other.

When to Apply

  • After a shower: Pores are more open
  • After a workout: Sweating may cause you to sweat ou the hormones
  • Once daily: Usually in the morning—but evening is okay if preferred. Just stay consistent.
  • Twice daily: Apply once in the morning and once at night, about 10–12 hours apart.

How to Apply

  • Spread over a large area of skin.
  • Rub in well until the skin is no longer sticky.
  • Wait 3–4 hours before showering, exercising, or swimming.
  • Apply after those activities—not before.

Maintenance Tips

  • Rotate application sites monthly to avoid buildup.
  • Gently exfoliate those areas once a month to prevent residue from blocking absorption.

When in doubt, reach out—we’re here to help!

Hormone creams can transfer through skin contact, so it’s important to be cautious—especially around children and pets.

How to Stay Safe

  • Avoid close contact with others for at least 1–2 hours after applying.
  • Cover the area with clothing to reduce the risk of transfer.
  • If you're often around people, avoid using your arms—instead, apply to inner thighs or behind the knees.
  • Always wash your hands well after applying the cream.

Staying mindful helps protect the people around you.
