✨ PEPTIDE THERAPY FAQ — NEW AT NEW IMAGE ✨
We’ve had so many questions about peptide therapy, so here’s a simple breakdown of how it works and how to get started 🤍
What is peptide therapy?
Peptides are naturally occurring compounds in the body that support things like metabolism, fat loss, muscle recovery, skin health, energy, and overall wellness. Our therapies are provided with MD oversight and personalized to your goals.
Do I need a provider visit first?
Yes — all peptide therapy begins with a provider visit.
✨ Good news: the visit is complimentary when you start peptide therapy (normally $50).
Do I need labs?
Labs are not required for everyone.
If needed, labs or genetic testing may be recommended based on your history and goals — this is determined by the NP or MD.
How are peptides administered?
• One option (SLUPP332) is an oral tablet
• Most peptides are provided in easy take-home kits
• Weight-management peptides (semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide) are administered weekly in clinic
Does it hurt?
Peptides use a very small insulin-style needle and are generally very well tolerated.
How soon will I notice results?
Some people feel benefits within days, while others notice gradual changes over a few weeks — it depends on the peptide and your goals.
Do I have to stay on them forever?
Absolutely not.
Some peptides are short-term, some are cycled, and others are used to help you reach a specific goal (like stubborn abdominal fat, glow, recovery, or breaking a plateau).
Can peptides be stacked?
Yes — most peptides can be safely stacked for enhanced results.
What can peptide therapy help with?
• Fat loss & metabolism
• Breaking weight-loss plateaus
• Muscle recovery & strength
• Energy & endurance
• Skin, hair & glow
• Inflammation & gut support
• Overall wellness optimization
Who should not use peptides?
Peptides are not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your provider will review your full history to ensure safety.
How much do they cost?
Our peptide therapies start around $120/month, depending on the peptide & protocol.
Payment plans are available, including Cherry.
