About This Treatment

What is peptide therapy and what can it do?

Reviewed by our board-certified anti-aging specialists. Medically supervised since 2006.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological signaling molecules, directing your body to repair tissue, release hormones, modulate inflammation, improve sleep, or enhance immune function. Therapeutic peptides harness these natural pathways to achieve specific health and longevity goals.

Peptide therapy is one of the fastest-growing areas of functional and longevity medicine. Unlike conventional drugs, peptides work with your body's existing biological systems rather than overriding them. The therapeutic targets are diverse: growth hormone stimulation (sermorelin), libido and sexual health (PT-141), skin and tissue support (topical GHK-Cu), and overall vitality (oxytocin, NAD+).

At Florida Aesthetics and Wellness, peptide therapy is provided by licensed medical providers and is fully individualized. We don't prescribe trendy protocols without clinical evaluation, we select peptides based on your specific health goals, lab work, and health history. This ensures you get targeted benefit rather than scattershot supplementation.

Peptide Therapy treatment experience
What to Expect

What happens during a Peptide Therapy appointment?

1
Goal assessment & protocol selection
Your board-certified anti-aging specialist reviews your health goals, relevant labs, and any current medications to select the appropriate peptides and dosing protocols. Peptides are highly targeted, the right choice depends on whether your goal is tissue repair, GH optimization, libido, cognition, or weight management. We don't recommend "stacks" without clinical justification.
2
Prescription & compounding pharmacy
All peptides at Florida Aesthetics and Wellness are provider-prescribed and dispensed through licensed compounding pharmacies under strict quality standards. We use only reputable pharmacies with current USP 797/800 compliance. Self-sourced "research peptides" from unregulated sources carry significant quality and safety risks, physician oversight is essential.
3
Training on self-administration
Most therapeutic peptides are administered via subcutaneous injection (similar to an insulin needle). Your provider or clinical staff will train you on injection technique, rotation of sites, and proper storage. Injection anxiety is common initially, most patients become very comfortable within the first week. Oral and intranasal peptides are available for some protocols.
4
4–6 week follow-up & adjustment
A follow-up at 4–6 weeks assesses your symptomatic response and adjusts the protocol as needed. Some peptides are used cyclically for 8–12 weeks then discontinued; others (like GH secretagogues such as sermorelin) are used in longer cycles with planned breaks. Your physician manages the timing and transition.
Common Questions

Peptide Therapy, Frequently Asked Questions

At Florida Aesthetics and Wellness, the most frequently prescribed peptides are sermorelin (for growth hormone optimization, sleep, and body composition) and PT-141 (for sexual function in both men and women), alongside other provider-selected peptides matched to your goals. Each has distinct mechanisms and a clinical evidence base, and your provider selects the right one for you at consultation.
Therapeutic peptides generally have very favorable safety profiles, they are short amino acid chains that the body recognizes as biological molecules rather than foreign compounds, and they are cleared naturally. The most important safety consideration is sourcing: peptides from unregulated "research" suppliers carry unknown contamination and quality risks. All peptides prescribed at Florida Aesthetics and Wellness come from licensed, inspected compounding pharmacies with documented purity testing.
Sermorelin is a growth-hormone-releasing peptide that signals your pituitary gland to produce and release more of your own growth hormone, rather than replacing it. Patients use it to support sleep quality, recovery, body composition, and healthy aging. Because it works with your body's own feedback loops, it has a favorable safety profile. It is administered as a small subcutaneous injection, typically in the evening, under medical supervision.
Absolutely. Peptides are not gender-specific in most cases. Growth hormone secretagogues like sermorelin benefit both men and women for sleep, body composition, and anti-aging. PT-141 is FDA-approved for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), it was actually originally studied for women before men.
Peptides are signaling molecules that work with your body's existing hormone systems, they stimulate your pituitary to release more growth hormone (rather than replacing it), or signal tissue repair through receptor activation. Anabolic steroids directly replace or supplement hormones at supraphysiological doses, suppressing natural production. Peptides do not suppress natural production, do not cause the hormonal dysregulation of steroids, and have a significantly safer profile.
It depends on the protocol. For growth hormone peptides like sermorelin, baseline IGF-1 and growth hormone labs are helpful to track progress and ensure safe dosing. For some peptides, labs are typically not required. Your provider will determine what baseline testing is appropriate for your selected protocol at the initial consultation.
