Overview
What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy is a cutting-edge medical weight loss treatment that utilizes peptides – in our case, compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide. Peptides are small chains of individual amino acids that can play a role in addressing weight loss. These peptides naturally occur in the body and play a vital role in regulating many bodily functions. By administering specific peptides tailored to individual needs, peptide therapy aims to restore balance and promote overall well-being.
Peptides are introduced into the body through injections or topical creams. Once inside, they target specific cellular pathways to activate beneficial or suppress processes detrimental to weight loss efforts.
At BSA, we use compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide to aid in weight loss.
How it Works
The Role of Peptide Therapy in Medical Weight Loss
Peptide therapy can increase fat-burning and promote lean muscle growth. Specific peptides that BSA offers, like semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, also stimulate the release of hormones like growth hormone, which enhances metabolic rate and energy expenditure to burn more calories even while at rest.
Peptide therapy is also beneficial in suppressing the appetite and reducing unhealthy food cravings. Peptides that mimic the hormone ghrelin block the GLP-1 protein to decrease hunger and create the feeling of fullness after eating. By controlling food intake, compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide can promote healthier eating habits necessary for long-term weight loss success.
Benefits of Medically Guided Peptide Therapy
Improved Weight Loss Results
Peptide therapy can jumpstart weight loss. By targeting specific hormones and molecules in the body, peptides regulate the appetite, boost metabolism, and increase fat burning for more efficient and sustainable weight loss.
Enhanced Energy Levels
In addition to aiding in weight loss, peptide therapy can increase energy levels. Peptides stimulate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which supplies energy to the cells in the body. By increasing ATP production, there’s less of a feeling of fatigue and lethargy.
Reduced Inflammation
Peptide therapy has shown promise in reducing inflammation throughout the body. Chronic inflammation is linked to various health conditions and hinders weight loss efforts. Peptides have anti-inflammatory benefits and help alleviate pain, decrease swelling, and promote tissue healing for improved well-being.
Increased Recovery Time
One of the notable benefits of medically guided peptide therapy is its ability to accelerate the recovery process from injuries. Peptides aid in tissue repair by encouraging collagen production and stimulating new cell growth. This means faster wound healing times and reduced downtime.
Who is a Good Candidate for Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy can benefit anyone who has trouble losing weight or keeping weight off for the long term. Using compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide is a good solution for those who have tried traditional weight loss methods, such as dieting and exercise, but can’t achieve or maintain the desired results.
Individuals with hormonal imbalances
Peptide therapy can be particularly effective for individuals with hormonal imbalances that affect their metabolism or contribute to weight gain. This includes conditions like hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which often lead to difficulties in losing weight.
Targeted fat reduction
If you have specific areas of stubborn fat that don’t respond to exercise or diet, peptide therapy may be a solution to target localized fat.
Suitable age range
Candidates for peptide therapy are healthy adults who struggle with their weight. Before considering the treatment, consult with a team member to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.
Cost of Peptide Therapy for Medical Weight Loss
The final cost of your medical weight loss therapy is highly personal and depends on what’s included in your treatment plan. Clients have the best outcomes when they choose to invest in a treatment package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is a supervised program designed to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals through medically proven techniques, including dietary changes, exercise plans, and medication. Unlike generic programs, medical weight loss considers each individual's needs and health status to create a personalized plan for maximum results.
Are there any side effects associated with these treatments?
As with any medical treatment, medical weight loss and peptide therapy may have potential side effects. However, these risks are minimized under proper supervision by trained professionals at Beyond Skin Aesthetics. Possible side effects vary depending on your health status and treatment protocol. Mild reactions can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, temporary soreness or redness at injection sites.
How long does peptide therapy for weight loss take to see results?
The time it takes to see results can vary from person to person. While some people see results after a few weeks, others notice them within a few months. Your results depend on various factors, including whether you use compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide, individual response, and adherence to lifestyle changes.
Is peptide therapy a replacement for diet and exercise?
Peptide therapy is not a replacement for a healthy diet and regular exercise. It is a complement to a comprehensive weight loss plan, including lifestyle change and prescription weight loss medication that Beyond Skin Aethestics offers.
