Peptide Therapy
Peptides are tiny chains of amino acids — the same building blocks that form proteins and hormones in your body. Peptides are compounds being studied for their role in various biological processes.
In recent years, doctors and researchers have been studying therapeutic peptides for their potential to support health and longevity. Many are still considered experimental and not FDA-approved for all uses, but research is growing quickly.
Important Note: Because peptides are still being studied, results may vary and more research is needed.
Topics Commonly Discussed During a Peptide Consultation
- Energy and recovery concerns
- Weight related wellness goals
- Sleep and focus concerns
- Body composition and wellness goals
- Comfort and quality of life concerns
- Age related wellness concerns
Any treatment decision is based on individual medical evaluation by a licensed physician, and results vary.
Types of Peptides
Sermorelin
Sermorelin works by signaling the body to stimulate natural growth hormone production. It’s often chosen for its role in supporting energy, recovery, body composition, and sleep quality—without directly supplying synthetic growth hormone.
GLP-1s
GLP-1 peptides are widely recognized for their role in appetite regulation and metabolic balance. They support healthy glucose management and satiety signaling, making them a popular choice in weight-management and metabolic wellness protocols.
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide that mimics growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), stimulating the body’s natural release of growth hormone. It’s studied for its role in reducing visceral fat and supporting lean muscle and metabolic health.

Hear from Ashley:
What is peptide therapy?
Peptide therapy is a non-surgical approach to addressing various aesthetic, health and wellness concerns. It is administered as a sub-cutaneous injection, oral capsule, or under the tongue dissolving tablet. These are compounded and contain specific peptides that target certain areas in the body or skin to promote healing, regeneration, and overall improvement.
Is Fotona IntimaLase® safe?
Absolutely! It's a safe and FDA-approved procedure with minimal risks. We also use the most advanced laser technology called the G-Runner which eliminates the need for manual positioning of the handpiece. This improves accuracy and precision of Er:YAG laser delivery, providing truly homogenous coverage of the vaginal mucosa tissue.
The benefits of G-Runner™ include:
• Supreme accuracy and precision of laser energy deposition in vaginal mucosa
• Easy to use, fully automatic operation
• Short treatment time
• Increased comfort for the patient and operator
