Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. As we age or develop illnesses, our bodies may not produce adequate amounts of certain peptides, leading to suboptimal functioning and disease. Peptide therapy involves administering specific peptide compounds to restore levels, thereby treating hormone deficiencies and related symptoms.
At Balanced Hormone Clinic, we offer peptide injections to help patients regain health, vitality and an improved quality of life. This article will provide an overview of our peptide therapies, their applications and the benefits you can expect to experience.
Declining peptide/hormone levels can produce nonspecific symptoms that negatively impact health:
If you are experiencing any combination of these issues, peptide deficiency may be to blame. Our experienced practitioners can measure your peptide levels and determine if therapy is warranted.
There are many peptides used in research and medicine. At Balanced Hormone Clinic, we currently offer treatment with the following proven peptides:
Thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4) has regenerative and protective effects:
Tβ4 is used to treat various conditions involving inflammation, tissue damage or poor healing.
Sermorelin stimulates natural growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Benefits include:
By improving growth hormone levels, sermorelin reverses symptoms of aging and helps patients feel younger.
Tesamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide used to:
Tesamorelin is highly effective at targeting abdominal/visceral fat, the most dangerous type that surrounds organs.
Other peptides we offer based on patient needs include:
We will determine which peptides are best suited for you during our comprehensive health evaluation.
Certain peptide injections can help stimulate collagen production and cell turnover in the skin, leading to anti-aging effects like reduced wrinkles and more youthful appearance. However, unlike other popular anti-aging treatments, peptide injections have very minimal side effects and require little to no downtime after treatment.
Patients choose peptide injections because they offer an array of appealing benefits:
Peptide therapy is far less invasive than surgery yet still highly effective at treating underlying issues.
When prescribed and administered correctly, peptide compounds have an excellent safety record with minimal side effects.
Peptides can be easily self-administered at home between clinic visits. Treatments usually require only weekly or bi-monthly injects.
By improving health, some patients reduce medications/visits over time lowering long-term medical costs.
Most importantly, targeted peptides lead to improved organ function, cognition, quality of life and a slowing of age-related decline.
Many patients suffer from peptide deficiency for years before seeking treatment. By then, they have developed numerous health issues that could potentially have been avoided.
We strongly encourage adults to get tested for peptide/hormone imbalances beginning in their late 20s-30s. Normal aging alone reduces growth hormones by 14% per decade after age 30. Developing deficiencies early leads to impaired cellular functioning and organs that degrade more rapidly.
Prevention is always preferable to attempting to reverse disease. Optimizing peptide levels early on slows aging, reduces disease risks and maintains health. It allows you to continue engaging in activities you enjoy with minimal physical limitations.
Once patients develop multiple chronic health conditions, restoring health becomes more difficult. Early detection and timely treatment provides the greatest chance of improving your future wellness. Our goal is to help patients remain active and energetic for decades to come.

When properly dosed, most patients tolerate injections well with minimal side effects. Possible (but rare) side effects include redness, swelling or itching at the injection site or headaches.
Benefits emerge at different rates for different peptides. You may notice boosted energy, better sleep or exercise capacity within weeks. Improved skin, muscle gain, heart function etc. can take 3-6 months. Schedule a consultation so we can set realistic expectations.
Yes! Peptide therapy complements other regenerative treatments like PRP, stem cell therapy and medical therapies quite well. We will craft a custom plan to help you meet all of your health goals.
Peptides are amino acid chains that can become degraded without temperature regulation. Refrigeration preserves their structural integrity and effectiveness. We provide detailed guidance on proper handling during at-home treatments.
Injection frequency varies based on which peptides you use, your age, needs etc. Most patients inject 1-2x weekly. We space dosages appropriately to maintain suitable peptide blood levels between reach out with any other questions! We look forward to serving as your partner for health.
