What is Peptide Therapy?
In definition, peptides are made up of amino acids. They are essentially pieces of proteins that naturally occur in the body; however, the body may not make enough of a certain peptide that is needed. Because of this, peptide therapy surfaced to help with a variety of conditions, enhancing performance in the body and influencing the hormonal system. Peptide therapy can be administered via injections, capsules, topical cream, or inhalation. At Jólie Visage Medspa & Clinic, we administer peptides via injections. Peptides are not a hormone therapy, but they can be used alongside hormone therapy. Peptides are a key factor in cell signaling and function and are important for research and certain physical therapies.
What do Peptides do?
Peptides are naturally occurring strands of amino acids, containing up to fifty amino acid residues. When peptide injections are administered, they do many things within the body, such as regulating metabolism, immunosuppressant production, and acting as chemical messengers. In short, peptides provide a wide range of health benefits. In addition, because peptides often have a very low amount of side effects, they are a popular alternative to many prescriptions that may achieve the same thing. Peptide injections are popular for:
