Peptide Therapy Specialist in Beverly Hills, CA

Peptide therapy is the replenishment of peptides in the body that may have decreased in quantity due to age or medical conditions. These naturally produced peptides play a significant role in the overall functioning of our bodily functions and production of them starts to vary greatly from person to person as we age and develop different health conditions. There are several different methods to restore our peptide levels, including direct administration into the bloodstream by use of subcutaneous injections, applied as topical creams, taken in oral form or through nasal sprays. The therapy is entirely customizable according to the medical needs of the patient.

There are many different kinds of peptides and each type offers unique functions. One of the most popular types of peptides that are used in peptide therapy is collagen peptides, which have been shown to help reduce or slow down the effects of aging and improve overall skin health. Creatine peptides are also fairly popularly used in peptide therapies for their ability to build strength and increase muscle mass in the body. Another common type of peptide that is used is bioactive peptides, which have been shown to decrease high blood pressure, kill microbes, reduce inflammation, reduce the risk of blood clot formation, and improve overall immune function. Peptides are produced naturally by our bodies and are like small versions of proteins that contain fewer amino acids than proteins. Such as with proteins, peptides are found in many foods such as eggs, milk, meat, beans, and much more, and are more easily absorbed into the body than proteins. Peptides are considered supplementary therapies, such as vitamin therapy, so while they only mimic what proteins do in our bodies, they are very effective at improving how we feel and improving our overall quality of life.

The total cost of peptide therapy depends primarily on which method you choose (injections, topical cream, or oral supplements) and the goals of your treatments. For example, peptide shots often end up being anywhere from $150 to $600 monthly. Topical cream will be slightly more affordable than that, ranging in price similarly to higher-end skin care products. For a more accurate estimation of the total cost for your desired peptide therapy, please call today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rahi.

It can take up to 3 to 6 months of regular peptide treatments before the desired effects are noticeable as it takes some time to build up in your system. However, many people will start to notice the effects within the first few weeks with consistent and continued therapy. The rate at which the results will be fully realized is dependent on the type of therapy that is being done and how regularly it is being administered. Within the first few weeks, most patients will notice an increase in their overall energy levels and improved quality of sleep. However, many patients will opt to continue maintenance treatments to prolong the effects that they have experienced from their regular peptide therapies.
