Peptides: What They Are & Why We Use Them
A Smarter, Targeted Approach to Health, Beauty, and Longevity
Peptides are one of the most exciting advancements in modern wellness and regenerative medicine. These naturally occurring compounds play essential roles in how your body heals, ages, burns fat, builds muscle, produces hormones, and even how your skin looks and feels. At
Advanced Image Med Spa & Wellness Center, we use medically guided peptide therapy to help our patients improve overall health, enhance physical performance, support weight management, boost energy, optimize aging, and elevate skin vitality.
What Are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks your body uses to create proteins.
Think of them as tiny messengers that tell the body to perform very specific actions—such as repairing tissue, improving metabolism, stimulating collagen, or boosting cellular function.
You naturally produce hundreds of peptides every day, but levels decline as you age. This drop can affect energy, weight, muscle mass, sleep, hormones, and skin quality. Peptide therapy replenishes these signaling molecules in a precise, targeted way.
How Peptides Work
Peptides act like biological “instructions” that activate certain pathways in the body. Depending
on the peptide, they can:
- Increase natural growth hormone production
- Enhance fat metabolism
- Improve muscle recovery and strength
- Boost collagen and elastin for firmer, healthier skin
- Support immune function and inflammation control
- Improve sleep, mood, and cognitive function
- Accelerate healing and cellular repair
Unlike synthetic medications that have a long list of side effects that are sometimes worse than what you are treating, peptides are highly targeted, which means fewer side effects and more natural, physiological results.
Why We Use Peptides
At Advanced Image Med Spa & Wellness Center, we use peptides because they work with your body—not against it. They support your natural repair and optimization systems so you can experience measurable improvements in:
Weight Management & Fat Loss
Certain peptides help increase metabolism, reduce cravings, and support more efficient fat burning—especially when paired with GLP-1 medications or wellness plans.
Muscle Tone, Strength & Recovery
Peptides like CJC-1295 or Ipamorelin help enhance muscle growth, recovery, and performance.
Longevity & Anti-Aging
Peptides support better sleep, improved energy, enhanced cognitive clarity, and age-
optimization at the cellular level.
Skin Health & Collagen Production
Some peptides directly improve skin elasticity, firmness, hydration, and overall vibrancy—perfect for pairing with aesthetic treatments.
Hormonal Balance
They can assist with balancing growth hormone levels, improving vitality, and increasing overall well-being.
Healing & Post-Procedure Recovery
Peptides accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing.
