About Peptide Therapy
Peptide therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that utilizes amino acid chains to help stimulate a certain biological response in the body. (1) Peptides can be used to help address a variety of concerns, from collagen stimulation to the management of blood glucose levels. Insulin was the first therapeutic peptide released in 1923. Since then, more than 80 different types of peptides have been approved for therapeutic and health use, becoming one of the most notable discoveries in pharmaceutical research. (2)

“On February 5, 2025, I began my peptide treatments the day after my brachioplasty, and I can testify the peptide treatment lowered my inflammation and helped it be a no-pain recovery. Before my procedure, I also had problems with inflammation in my feet, knees, and hands and for this reason, I was having second thoughts of getting the procedure done but Dr. Lee confirmed in the consultation my inflammation would not affect my procedure and Dr. Lee discussed the benefits of the peptides and I immediately decided to start on them after the procedure and now a month later the inflammation I had been suffering from a year ago on my knees, feet, and hands have lowered drastically that now I can now wear my wedding band that I hadn’t worn in about a year. So I decided to do another month of peptide since I’ve liked the results I’m getting. I would definitely recommend them.”
