The Basics

What are peptides?

Peptides are naturally occurring biological molecules made of amino acid chains. In medical aesthetics and functional wellness, therapeutic peptides are used to signal specific cellular responses — from stimulating collagen production to enhancing fat loss, improving sleep, and supporting immune function.

Unlike hormones, peptides work by signaling the body to produce more of its own natural substances — making them a gentler, more targeted approach to optimization and anti-aging.

Skin & Collagen

Peptides like GHK-Cu stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, and accelerate wound healing — leading to firmer, smoother, more youthful skin.

Body Composition

Peptides such as CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin stimulate growth hormone release, supporting fat loss, muscle building, and improved body composition over time.

Recovery & Wellness

BPC-157 and TB-500 support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and accelerate healing from injury or intense physical activity.

FAQ

Common questions

How are peptides administered?
Depending on the peptide, they may be administered via subcutaneous injection, topical cream, or oral tablet. Nikki will recommend the most appropriate delivery method for your protocol.
Are peptides safe?
When prescribed and supervised by a qualified medical provider, peptides have an excellent safety profile. Nikki carefully selects peptides appropriate for each patient's health history and goals.
How long until I see results?
Results vary by peptide and individual. Some patients notice improved sleep and energy within 2–4 weeks. Body composition changes and skin improvements typically develop over 2–6 months of consistent use.
Is a consultation required?
Yes — peptide therapy is personalized medicine. A thorough consultation, health history review, and often lab work are completed before any protocol is prescribed.
