The Specifics
What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide Therapy has a variety of uses ranging from anti-aging to managing chronic pain to boosting the immune system. While peptide therapy is not FDA approved as a standalone treatment, peptides are commonly used in many FDA approved medications and procedures. Consisting of small molecules called amino acids (the building blocks of nearly all cells in our body), subcutaneous injection, topical, and oral supplement peptides interact with our natural receptors to provide a plethora of benefits. Bioactive peptides are typically analogs of those we naturally utilize meaning the benefits of peptide therapy can be added to most any treatment plan. Different peptides can be used to stimulate growth hormone and growth factors, complement a skin care routine, or help build lean muscle mass.
What cosmetic/health concerns does Peptide Therapy address?
Peptide Therapy is a regenerative medicine adjacent practice that uses peptide based solutions and supplements to augment muscle growth, manage chronic conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, and chronic pain, and boost the immune system while providing an anti-inflammatory benefit.

Pros
- Provides Amino Acids Directly To Cells.
Cons
- Consistent Use Over Several Sessions Is Required To See And Maintain Benefits. Some Health Conditions May Preclude Use Of Peptide Therapy.
Invasiveness Score
Invasiveness is graded based on factors such as anesthesia practices, incisions, and recovery notes common to this procedure.
What to Expect
Peptide Therapy involves supplementing the body’s natural amino acid stores to enhance a variety of biological functions.
