Peptide Hormone Therapy

Peptide hormones are made up of amino acids, while steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. There are many types of peptide hormones with wide-ranging effects including increasing energy, boosting the immune system, burning fat, and building muscle. Insulin, oxytocin, sermorelin and growth hormone are examples of well known peptide hormones. At Cheung Aesthetics & Wellness, we recommend peptides to slow down immunosenescence and aging, and to decrease inflammation.

Peptides have come a long way, as they are more stable with longer half-lifes and more studies. We carry a library of peptides that target sexual health, the immune system, musculoskeletal system and joints, the gut to improve barrier function and repair, and hair, fat and skin. Common goals of peptide therapy are to improve energy, recovery, body composition, libido, sleep, hair regrowth, wrinkle reduction, tanning, and to reduce intestinal inflammation and joint inflammation, and reduce the need for cholesterol medication and diabetes medication.
