How it works:
Clinical Evidence:
Pros:
- Testosterone is injected directly into the vocal cords (vocal folds).
- It binds to androgen receptors in the tissue, causing thickening and elongation of the cords.
- This results in a lower fundamental frequency — basically a deeper, more masculine-sounding voice.
- These changes are permanent, even if you stop testosterone later, because the vocal fold tissue remodels structurally.
Clinical Evidence:
- Case reports from 2023–2025 show rapid voice deepening, sometimes within weeks.
- Patients experience durable, long-lasting effects without major adverse events.
- It’s done under the supervision of a laryngologist (ENT specialist) using a flexible endoscope.
Pros:
- Faster results compared to systemic testosterone alone.
- Targeted voice masculinization without affecting other parts of the body.
