Peptide therapy is a cutting-edge treatment option that is rapidly gaining popularity for its wide range of potential benefits. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in the body and play a vital role in many biological processes. When administered through injections, peptides can help restore optimal function in various systems throughout the body.
At Balance Hormone Center in Vancouver, we offer specialized peptide injections as part of our integrative approach to hormone health and aging. Our experienced practitioners stay up-to-date on the latest peptide research and utilize these compounds to help clients look and feel their best.
In this comprehensive guide, we will provide an overview of our Vancouver peptide therapy services, outline the many applications and benefits of peptides, and give helpful information for those considering this innovative treatment.
Peptide injections involve administering amino acid compounds under the skin, where they are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. At our Vancouver clinic, peptides are always injected using sterile techniques for maximum safety and efficacy.
Treatment plans are customized to each patient’s individual needs and can involve one or multiple peptide compounds. Some of the most common peptides we offer include:
During your consult, our practitioners will help determine which peptides are best suited to your wellness goals. Ongoing lab testing allows us to fine-tune dosages over time for optimal results.
Research has shown peptide injections can provide a diverse range of benefits, including:
These treatments tap into the body’s natural healing and regenerative powers to create transformative improvements in wellbeing. Many patients find the benefits accumulate over time, as peptides work to restore balance and optimize health from within.
Some of the most common uses for peptide therapy include:
Peptides like sermorelin powerfully stimulate the body’s production of human growth hormone (HGH). As we get older, HGH levels decline, contributing to many unwanted effects of aging. Administering peptides can restore youthful HGH levels, helping patients look and feel decades younger.
For those looking to improve their athletic abilities, certain peptides can enhance muscle building, increase endurance, speed up workout recovery, and reduce inflammation from sports injuries. Peptides like AOD-9604 also support fat loss while retaining lean muscle mass.
Peptides have incredible healing potential for a range of injuries, including sprains, fractures, burns, and surgical wounds. BPC-157, Thymosin Beta-4, and others accelerate the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. Peptides may allow patients to return to activity faster after injuries.
Through their tissue regenerating and collagen stimulating effects, peptides can rejuvenate the skin for a more youthful appearance. Regular peptide injections can improve skin tone/texture, reduce wrinkles/fine lines, and even help treat sun damage or scarring.
Declining hormone levels contribute to sexual dysfunction as we age. Peptide therapy helps correct hormone imbalances tied to low libido, erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, and other sexual issues in both men and women.
Mood disorders like anxiety, depression and OCD have been linked to hormonal imbalances. Peptides help optimize neurotransmitter levels in the brain and can greatly improve mental wellbeing. Many patients report feeling less stressed and more positive after starting peptides.
Certain peptides support the healing of a “leaky gut”, reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, and reinforce the gut-brain connection. This leads to improved digestion, less bloating/discomfort, sharper mental focus, and more balanced moods.
Peptide injections are becoming increasingly popular for anti-aging purposes, as certain peptides can stimulate collagen production and cell repair when applied topically or injected. However, one surprising new application is using peptide injections to help regulate blood sugar levels in diabetics by mimicking insulin.
