Cost
Injections are typically most affordable, while pellets may have higher upfront costs but fewer visits.
Convenience
Daily applications (gels, creams, patches) fit easily into routines. Pellets require fewer interventions.
Consistency
Pellets and daily topicals provide more stable levels. Injections may have peaks and troughs.
