Do you know if testosterone gel is milder on the liver than injections? As we know, the oily injections may not be harmless for the liver.

The use of exogenous T for testosterone replacement in men whether in the form of intranasal (Natesto®), patch, pellets, oral (Jatenzo®, Tlando®), buccal, transdermal (gel/cream), injectable (short, medium, or long-acting esters) does not cause any harm to the liver.

It would be the use of AAS 17α-alkylated orals such as stanozolol, oxandrolone, methyltestosterone, methandrostenolone, oxymetholone, and fluoxymesterone as they are notorious for driving down HDL, increasing LDL, stressing the liver and hammering down SHBG.

Even then the dose/duration of use will play a big role.
