The human body has the natural ability to heal itself, and science has come up with different ways to make it easier.
Let’s take a look at regenerative medicine, for instance.
In essence, it’s a revolutionary and innovative field of medicine that is focused on applying the latest developments to heal tissues and organs. It also looks at ways of restoring functions that were lost to aging, injuries, disease, or birth defects.
One good example of regenerative medicine is peptide therapy. Let’s take a closer look.
What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are the building blocks of amino acids. They are pieces of proteins that naturally occur in the body. Basically, peptides help provide pain relief, accelerate the healing process, and improve hormone production, among others.
There are over 7,000 known peptides in the body and they vary greatly across different individuals. However, as we age, the number and quality of peptides naturally produced by our bodies tends to decline.
Peptide Therapy addresses this problem by restoring the number of peptides within the body to improve certain biological functions. By optimizing levels of certain peptides, the therapy stimulates cellular regrowth.
Typically, peptides are administered directly into the bloodstream through injections. However, they may also be applied through nasal sprays, oral supplements, or as topical creams.
Benefits of Peptide Therapy
Unlike other treatments that target specific conditions, peptide therapy offers a range of benefits.
Some of these include:
- Build muscle mass
- Improve sleep quality
- Increase levels of energy, stamina, and strength
- Boost hormone levels
- Provide improved sexual function
- Promote healthy immune function
- Stimulate hair growth
- Enhance cognitive function and memory
- Reduce signs of aging
- Help reverse symptoms of sexual dysfunction
Peptide Therapy at Hebe Medical Spa
The Hebe Medical Spa provides peptide therapy that covers certain peptides such as:
AOD-9604
Also known as the “anti-obesity drug”, this is an FDA-approved peptide that can help you lose weight. This peptide has the ability to target areas of the body with an abnormally high level of fat cells.
It stimulates the destruction of fat cells as well as slowing down the process of creating new ones. It also aids in lean muscle building and provides an increase in energy.
GHK-Cu
Since the discovery of this human copper-binding peptide, GHK-Cu has been used as a powerful protective and regenerative ingredient to address skin laxity brought about by aging.
Its benefits include the following:
- Reduction of fine lines
- Increase of hair growth and thickness
- Protection of skin cells from UV radiation
- Repair of protective skin barrier proteins
- Smoothening of rough skin
PT-141
The PT-141 is a libido-boosting peptide and is used primarily for improved sexual function. This is usually recommended to treat common symptoms such as little to no sensation during intercourse, decreased sexual arousal, pain during intercourse, and the inability to orgasm.
CJC1295/Ipamorelin
Meanwhile, CJC1295/Ipamorelin helps stimulate lean muscle mass, improve sleep quality, decrease body fat, and revitalize cognitive function.
BPC-157
On the other hand, BPC-157 provides beneficial effects when it comes to tissue formation, wound healing, and even neuroprotection.
This peptide is primarily known for its healing and restorative properties and may aid in improving energy levels, protecting stomach cells, and even preventing stomach ulcers.
DSIP
This stands for delta sleep-inducing peptide. As its name suggests, it helps improve sleep and is a safe alternative to sedatives. Regardless of what peptides you opt for though, you can experience an improved quality of life with the help of peptide therapy here at the Hebe Medical Spa.
