Peptides

What are peptides?

Peptides are naturally occurring compounds made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. They help regulate many important functions, including metabolism, tissue repair, hormone production, muscle growth, sleep, and skin health. 

Peptides naturally occur in the body. That’s why peptide therapy can support and enhance normal biological processes related to wellness and healthy aging.

At Xpedia Medical & Aesthetics Clinic, Dr. Abanonu offers personalized peptide therapy plans that work with your goals.

How do peptides work in the body?

Peptides communicate with your cells and signal your body to perform specific functions more efficiently. Different peptides target different areas of wellness and may help support the following:

• Recovery and tissue repair
• Muscle development and exercise performance
• Healthy metabolism and weight management
• Energy levels and sleep quality
• Skin rejuvenation and collagen production

When you encourage your body’s natural processes through peptide therapy, you can feel healthier, more energized, and better supported as you age.

How are peptides administered?

Dr. Abanonu can administer peptides in several ways, depending on the specific treatment and your wellness goals. Common delivery methods include:

• Subcutaneous injections
• Oral capsules
• Topical creams
• Nasal sprays

During your consultation, Dr. Abanonu evaluates your health history, discusses your concerns, and recommends the peptide therapy approach best suited to your needs and goals. Many peptides are more effective and better absorbed when delivered via small injections beneath your skin. 

Who is a good candidate for peptide therapy?

If you’re an adult interested in improving wellness, supporting recovery, boosting energy, or addressing age-related concerns, you may be a good candidate for peptide therapy. 

Ideal candidates are looking for a personalized approach to overall health and understand that results can vary from person to person. A consultation with Dr. Abanonu can help determine whether peptide therapy aligns with your goals.

How long does it usually take for peptides to produce noticeable results?

Results depend on the type of peptides used, your overall health, and your treatment goals. You may notice changes within a few weeks or require several months of consistent therapy for optimal benefits.
