Peptides

Conveniently located to serve the areas of New York, NY

A peptide is a short amino acid chain that, when used therapeutically, has been shown to have many potential health and wellness benefits. (1) Injectable peptide treatments are highly versatile and can support a variety of concerns, including visible aging, hormone imbalances, tissue damage, and more.

When considering peptide therapy, it is important that you research practices and their offerings carefully to ensure you are getting the safest treatments with the best results. Our practice is led by Dr. Jennifer Levine, who is double board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology. She has extensive experience in medicine and is proud to offer her patients revolutionary and life-improving treatments, including peptide therapy.

To schedule a consultation and learn more about peptides, please submit our online contact form or call (212) 517-9400 to reach our office directly.

We are happy to see and provide care for patients traveling from outside New York to receive outstanding care at Dr. Levine’s office. Out-of-town patients are encouraged to reach out and inquire about the resources that may be available to them.

About Peptides

Peptide therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses small amino acid chains to enhance your health and well-being. Our bodies naturally contain thousands of different types of peptides, each playing a role in our body’s physiological processes. Peptides exhibit antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, while simultaneously inhibiting and slowing visible signs and symptoms of aging. (2) Peptide therapy can help support treatment for several different concerns and conditions, ranging from skin rejuvenation to recovery.

Available Peptides

At Dr. Levine’s office, we offer a wide array of peptides that can be personalized for each patient’s unique situation. During a personal consultation, we can help determine which peptide will be best for addressing your needs.

GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is a peptide present in human plasma that the body releases after injury. It has numerous beneficial properties, such as stimulating wound repair, repairing protective skin barrier proteins, reducing photodamage, and more. GHK-Cu has also been shown to promote blood vessel and nerve outgrowth, increase your collagen and elastin levels, and encourage anti-inflammatory activity. (3)

TB-500

TB-500 is a peptide that plays a pivotal role in several physiological processes. TB-500 has been studied for its ability to promote angiogenesis, support stem cell proliferation, inhibit apoptosis, and reduce inflammatory reactions and damage. This can help your body heal itself at a quicker rate, making it great for patients with active lifestyles or those who have undergone a surgical procedure. (4)

BPC-157

BPC-157 is the ‘Body Protection Compound’; it has been shown to have a positive influence on tissue regeneration and overall physical health. In recent research, BPC-157 has been demonstrated to support neocollagenesis, promote angiogenesis, and reduce fibrosis, all of which enhance tissue regeneration and wound repair. (5)

The Wolverine Stack

The Wolverine Stack is a specialized combination of BPC-157 and TB-500. This combination is designed to accelerate your recovery after injuries, reduce inflammation, and support faster healing after intense physical activities.

The Glow Stack

The Glow Stack is a specialized peptide therapy that harnesses the power of BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu. This treatment combines the beneficial properties of each therapy to promote healing across your entire body, regenerate tissues, reduce inflammation, and more. With consistent therapy, many patients experience improvements in their skin’s appearance and elasticity.

Combining Peptides with GLP-1s

GLP-1s are weight loss medications that work by targeting the hormonal pathways that trigger hunger and insulin responses. They allow patients to achieve substantial weight loss, often at a rapid rate. At Dr. Levine’s practice, we offer GLP-1 medications, as well as GLP-1 microdosing as a more sustainable and gradual approach to weight loss. We can combine peptide therapy with GLP-1 treatments to enhance patients’ wellness journeys and provide them with the best results. Peptides may support a GLP-1 regimen by optimizing tissue repair, energy levels, muscle preservation, skin quality, and weight loss results.

Candidates

Peptide therapy is ideal for those interested in elevating and enhancing their overall health and well-being. It offers an inclusive option for patients seeking to:

  • Reduce and slow visible signs and symptoms of aging.
  • Stabilize their body’s hormone levels.
  • Rejuvenate the health, elasticity, and appearance of their skin.
  • Recover more quickly from injuries.
  • Manage their weight and blood sugar levels.

Patients with kidney disease, cancer, or other chronic conditions may not be eligible for peptide therapy. Pregnant and breastfeeding patients may be recommended to delay their treatment.

If you are interested in starting peptide therapy, you should be in good general health and have realistic expectations regarding your results. A patient coordinator will help determine your candidacy during your consultation.

Personal Consultation

During your personal consultation, a patient coordinator will meet with you individually to discuss peptide therapy. They will ask you about your medical history, concerns, and goals to determine which option will be most effective for you. They will also demonstrate how to inject your peptides so that you can conveniently administer them in the comfort of your own home.

To schedule this consultation, please fill out our online form or call our office at (212) 517-9400.

Procedure

All peptides are self-administered through a subcutaneous injection. There will be a specific schedule that you will be directed to follow for optimal results. Most peptides are taken once a day, similar to traditional daily supplements. If any questions or concerns arise as you continue with your regimen, we encourage you to reach out so that our team can provide you with guidance.

Recovery and Results

Peptide therapy requires no downtime, which means that you can return to your daily activities immediately after receiving your injections. You may experience some slight redness or tenderness at the injection site, but these effects are temporary and will dissipate on their own shortly thereafter. The injections themselves, not the peptides, are what typically cause these reactions.

The exact results of your peptide therapy will depend on the specific type of peptide or peptide stack you receive. As you continue with your regimen, you will start to notice results develop over the following weeks.

Cost of Peptides in New York City

The cost of your peptide therapy will vary depending on the details of your treatment plan, such as the type of peptide you use and the amount of peptides necessary for your desired results. After forming a treatment plan, your patient coordinator will provide a cost estimate.

FAQ

What are peptides?

Peptides are small amino acid chains that are essential for many of our bodily functions, such as hormone regulation or tissue repair. When used therapeutically, they have been associated with a wide range of therapeutic benefits, including skin rejuvenation, enhanced energy levels, improved weight loss and muscle quality, and more.

Can I combine GLP-1s with peptide therapy?

Yes, combining peptide therapy with GLP-1s may help support optimal weight loss results, improve energy levels, and boost general wellness. Dr. Levine’s practice offers both peptide therapy and GLP-1 medications, including a microdosing option, to provide patients with potentially life-changing results.

What results can I expect from peptide therapy?

After consistently sticking to a peptide therapy regimen, many of our patients experience quicker healing and wound repair, improvements in their metabolism, as well as enhancements in their skin’s health and appearance. If patients include peptide therapy alongside a GLP-1 regimen, they often see improved weight loss results.

Can my specialist combine another aesthetic treatment or procedure with my peptide regimen?

Yes, your specialist may perform another treatment to complement your results or address another concern simultaneously. We recommend scheduling a consultation for more information on the other treatments that you may benefit from.
