Peptide Therapy
“Peptide therapy has changed my life! I feel better, younger, and more energized thanks to the doctors at Chicago Aesthetics!”
Sermorelin peptide therapy has been shown to help with many different types of conditions with a wide range of benefits. Sermorelin can be used to improve overall health and even reverse some of the effects that come with aging. Some common conditions that peptides can help with include inflammation, cognitive function, growth hormones, enhancing weight loss, and even improving libido, to name a few.
What is
Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy is a type of medication which are composed of a combination of amino acid sequences. Peptides work by “telling” the body to do a certain function. There are peptides that are used specifically for optimizing human growth hormone levels. Specifically, it tells the pituitary gland to release its own naturally produced human growth hormone maximally. The advantages of peptide therapy over actual human growth hormone are that you obtain all the benefits of HGH therapy without the side effects by enhancing the body’s own natural HGH release instead of administering an outside source of HGH. Therefore, overdosing is impossible, and suppression of the natural HGH production does not occur. In addition, the cost of peptide therapy is much more reasonable than HGH therapy.
All our peptides are sourced by a US-based, FDA-approved peptide-specific pharmacy that is under strict government monitoring and control. Peptide therapy should be prescribed by a licensed provider.
Peptide therapy at Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa is routinely monitored by our physicians, including regular blood tests, to prevent any potential side effects that may occur. Be wary of purchasing peptides online as they may be impure and/or counterfeit products.
How is
Sermorelin Used?
Sermorelin is typically administered via subcutaneous injection, usually at bedtime, to align with the body’s natural HGH release cycle. Sermorelin is frequently prescribed off-label for adults to promote growth hormone production, potentially leading to benefits like:
- Enhanced weight loss and metabolism
- Improved skin health and anti-aging effects
- Increased muscle tone and strength
- Improved mood and cognitive function
- Increased energy levels
- Improved bone density
What
Peptides do we offer?
BCP-157
BPC-157 is a synthetic compound based on a protein found naturally in the stomach. It has been studied for its potential to help the body heal faster, especially in muscles, tendons, and the digestive system. Some early research suggests it may help reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and even protect organs from damage.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
The human growth hormone (HGH) is produced by the pituitary gland and is a naturally occurring hormone important for growth, cell reproduction and cell regeneration. Human growth hormone is important for the maintenance, building, and repair of healthy tissue for different organs of the body, including the brain! HGH helps in speeding up healing after injury and repairs muscle tissue after exercising. Human growth hormone also helps in the building of muscle mass, burning of fat, and boosts metabolism. In addition, growth hormone is also beneficial for the appearance and quality of skin, it slows down the process of aging, and treats diseases related to aging.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a synthetic version of a natural hormone that helps stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. It’s often used as a treatment to support healthy aging, improve energy levels, enhance sleep, and maintain muscle mass. Unlike direct growth hormone therapy, sermorelin works by encouraging the body to produce its own growth hormone, which helps regulate many important functions in the body.
