PEPTIDES

Peptides are compounds that may be prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner for specific clinical purposes.

Peptide Therapy

Peptide treatments are not suitable for everyone and must only be used under the supervision of a registered healthcare professional following a comprehensive medical assessment.

Our medical professional facilitates access to qualified healthcare practitioners who assess individual health concerns and determine appropriate care based on clinical judgement.

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins naturally found in the body. They play a role in supporting normal biological processes and are commonly used in cosmetic and research contexts.

How Peptides Work

Peptides interact with the body at a cellular level by acting as signalling molecules. They may assist in supporting the body’s natural processes by:

  • Helping to assist skin function
  • Can assist with inflammation and tissue injury
  • Medical weight loss 

In topical applications, peptides are often included in formulations designed to support the appearance of healthy-looking skin. This does not require a prescription therefore speak with our team in store.
