Personalized Therapies for Health, Recovery & Performance
Peptides are naturally occurring chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules throughout the body. Different peptides interact with different physiologic pathways, which has led to growing interest in their potential roles in metabolic health, body composition, recovery, performance, and healthy aging.
Peptide therapy should not be approached as a one-size-fits-all treatment.
At DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery, peptide therapy begins with a medical consultation. We evaluate your health history, current medications, laboratory findings when appropriate, symptoms, and individual goals before determining whether a particular therapy should be considered.
Depending on the patient’s needs and the specific therapy being considered, our goals may include supporting:
- Metabolic health
- Healthy body composition
- Muscle maintenance
- Recovery and performance
- Energy and overall wellness
- Healthy aging
Our philosophy is straightforward: the right therapy for the right patient, with appropriate medical evaluation and monitoring.
Not every peptide discussed online or promoted for wellness has the same level of clinical evidence or regulatory status. We believe patients should understand the potential benefits, limitations, alternatives, and risks of any therapy before making a treatment decision.
Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and determine which wellness, hormone, weight-management, or peptide therapies may be appropriate for you.
