Aponi Aesthetics offers advanced peptide therapy to support fat loss, recovery, longevity, hormone balance, and more — backed by medical oversight. We combine medical experience with cutting-edge peptide science to help you reclaim vitality, performance, and wellness. Our approach is rooted in safety and individualized care and you are not “just a number.” We take time to understand your wellness goals, background, lab results, and lifestyle to build a regimen that fits you — not a generic template.

What Is Peptide Therapy?

• Definition & mechanism
  Peptides are small chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. By delivering specific peptides (or combinations), we can “nudge” physiological systems — such as metabolism, repair, immune response, and hormone signaling — toward desired outcomes.
• Common goals + benefits
  Patients often pursue peptide therapy to:
  • Enhance fat loss + metabolic health
  • Build lean muscle + improve recovery
  • Promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation
  • Improve sleep, cognition, mood
  • Support immune resilience + anti-aging
  • Restore hormonal balance + libido
• Safety & side effects
  Most patients tolerate peptide therapy well. Common mild side effects may include injection site irritation, transient fatigue, or mild headaches. Rarely, more serious effects can arise, which is why medical oversight and lab monitoring are essential.

Our Peptide Services & Protocols

There are so many peptides available to us as providers to hone in on specific goals and safety. Some example of peptide categories include:

Each protocol is customized based on labs, goals, health status, and adjusted over time.

How to get started:

1. 1. Schedule a Peptide Wellness Consultation with one of Providers to review your health history and goals.
   2. Order specialized labs or review existing ones to determine baseline biomarkers.
   3. Protocol design — selecting peptides, dosing, timing
   4. Patient training / guidance — how to administer peptides (injections at home are the most popular), storage, handling
   5. Ongoing monitoring — follow-up labs, questionnaires, dose adjustments
   6. Support & adjustment — we adapt your protocol as your body responds

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Are peptides FDA‑approved?
  Some peptides (for specific uses) have regulatory approval. Many others are used off-label or as compounded prescriptions. We only prescribe when clinically appropriate and within legal/ethical bounds.
• Is peptide therapy safe?
  Under medical supervision with appropriate screening and monitoring, peptide therapy has a good safety profile. We begin with conservative dosing (“start low, go slow”) and adjust as needed.
• How soon might I see results?
  Some subjective changes—such as improved recovery, sleep, mood—may appear within a few weeks. More substantial changes in body composition or performance usually unfold over 8–12 weeks or more. Individual responses vary.
• Do I need to inject the peptides?
  Many protocols use subcutaneous injections, but some peptides also come in nasal, oral, or topical forms when bioavailability allows. Most of these formulations are sent directly to your home.
• Will insurance pay for peptide therapy?
  In most cases, no, especially for wellness or off-label purposes. We do not accept insurance. Patients pay out-of-pocket. We do not require long-term contracts, and you can discontinue at any time (though we recommend tapering with clinical guidance).
• Are there contraindications?
  Patients with active cancers, uncontrolled chronic diseases, pregnancy, or specific medical conditions may not be suitable candidates. A thorough medical history and lab screening help us assess eligibility.
