Patches, creams/gels, slow-release pellets injected in the buttocks. Usually patches and pellet are the preferred method, because they do not cause sypraphysiological spikes in total testosterone, which causes much of it to be converted to E2. Too much E2 is bad for the endothelial functions among other things.
As far as how to increase T, well, DHEA can work in some males, I've known someone for whom it's worked but that's the only one that I know of personally. Then I know that Dr. Eric Braverman says he has some success with the use of DHEA--I'm one of his patient, but haven't consulted him for months now, because he's too expensive.
Then there's the herb Eurycoma Longifolia which may increase T to some extent according to Dr. Nicholas Perricone. Zinc can lower T, but that is if you're deficient in it.
Best
