Peptides

What are peptides?

Peptides consist of amino acids — molecules your body uses to build proteins. Peptides naturally occur within the body and help it heal, grow new cells, and function at its best. With aging, peptide levels naturally begin to decline. 

Lafferty Family Care offers treatments that add peptides to your body, replenishing them to levels present during young adulthood. Peptides help maximize the way you feel and enhance your well-being. Common forms of therapeutic peptides include injections, oral forms, topical creams, and nasal sprays.

Are peptides right for me?

Anyone struggling with unwelcome signs of aging can benefit from peptide therapy. To determine which treatment is best for you, Dr. Lafferty weighs you, evaluates your body mass index (BMI), checks your vital signs, and completes a physical exam. 

He also reviews your medical history, discusses your symptoms, and may order blood tests or other diagnostic testing. 

What should I expect when utilizing peptides?

Follow Dr. Laffery’s instructions to enhance your wellness. You might receive injections, use peptide nasal spray, or take oral peptide supplements. You may also be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy, aesthetics treatments, custom nutrition plans, or other wellness solutions that enhance the way you look and feel.

A few days or weeks after taking peptides, you should experience beneficial effects. Don’t hesitate to call Dr. Lafferty with any questions. He lets you know what to expect and how often to use peptides based on your personalized treatment plan.
