Peptides are transforming the wellness industry and are quickly becoming a powerful tool in modern medicine. Peptides work by communicating directly with the body at a cellular level, supporting natural healing and balancing. These small but powerful compounds are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body. They signal cells to perform specific functions like repairing tissue, reducing inflammation, improving metabolism, regulating hormones, enhancing cognitive function and supporting hormone regulation.
Peptides are naturally occurring in the body meaning they work with your biology. As we age, peptide production declines which can in turn cause symptoms like fatigue, slower recovery, gut dysfunction, weight gain, and brain fog. Peptide therapy helps restore and enhance these signals so the body can function more optimally.
At Racquel Aesthetics & Wellness, peptide therapy is thoughtfully integrated into individualized wellness plans designed to support the whole body. Each peptide has a specific job. Our approach to peptide therapy is not a one-size-fits all approach. Our providers address the root cause of the imbalance to support exactly what your body needs.
Why Peptides Are Different
Traditional medications are designed to suppress symptoms. Peptides are designed to communicate with your body and let natural processes take over. This makes them a low risk, high satisfaction option for many patients, especially when guided by experienced wellness providers.
At Racquel Aesthetics and Wellness, peptide therapy is never one size fits all. Our Wellness Nurse Practitioners use peptides as part of a personalized treatment plan, thoughtfully selecting options that align with your goals, lifestyle, and long term health.
Gut Health and Inflammation Support
Larazotide
Larazotide is a peptide designed to support and strengthen the gut barrier. When the intestinal lining becomes compromised, often referred to as leaky gut, it can contribute to digestive symptoms, autoimmune flare ups, inflammation, and issues. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials with the FDA and may become a future treatment for celiac disease, making it one of the most exciting gut focused peptides available today.
Guttides
Guttides are formulated to soothe and repair the gastrointestinal tract while also reducing inflammation throughout the body. This peptide is commonly used to support relief from gastric reflux, ulcers, IBS, and leaky gut. In addition to digestive benefits, Guttides help reduce joint discomfort, support nerve regeneration, and improve recovery time between workouts, making it ideal for individuals seeking whole body relief and resilience.
Healing, Recovery, and Regeneration
PDA
PDA is a powerful regenerative peptide that supports healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, and connective tissue. It helps reduce inflammation and pain while promoting faster recovery from injury. PDA is also known to support gut and nerve repair.
Thymosin Beta 4 (TB 500)
TB 500 plays a key role in tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and muscle recovery. It supports joint and ligament health, improves flexibility and mobility, and promotes new blood vessel formation to enhance circulation and healing. This peptide is often used for injury recovery, chronic inflammation, and long term tissue support.
Growth Hormone Optimization and Longevity
CJC with Ipamorelin
This peptide combination stimulates the body’s natural production of growth hormone. By supporting healthy growth hormone levels, CJC with Ipamorelin can improve muscle mass, metabolism, bone density, cardiovascular health, immune function, libido, cognition, sleep quality, and recovery from workouts or injuries.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin supports gradual growth hormone release, leading to progressive improvements over time. Many patients experience improved sleep quality first, followed by better workout recovery, enhanced mental clarity, improved skin elasticity, and favorable changes in body composition as therapy continues.
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is known for its ability to reduce visceral fat while supporting lean muscle growth and metabolic function. It also enhances cognitive performance and improves lipid profiles, making it a strong option for individuals focused on metabolic health and long term wellness.
Skin, Hair, and Anti Aging Support
GHK Cu (Copper Peptide)
GHK Cu promotes collagen production for firmer skin, improves skin elasticity, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It also supports wound healing, tissue repair, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Many patients also use this peptide to support healthier hair growth.
Cognitive, Mood, and Neurological Support
Selank Nasal Spray
Selank enhances cognitive performance by supporting memory, learning, and mental clarity. It also helps reduce stress and anxiety. This peptide supports both mental and physical performance.
Metabolic and Weight Management Support
Semaglutide
Semaglutide helps regulate appetite, improve blood sugar control, support cardiovascular health, and promote long term fat loss by addressing metabolic signaling rather than relying on extreme restriction.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide supports significant weight loss, improves insulin sensitivity, enhances fat metabolism, and decreases inflammation. This peptide is often used in comprehensive weight management plans.
5 Amino 1MQ
5-Amino-1MQ supports fat loss by helping the body use energy more efficiently. It works by lowering the activity of NNMT, an enzyme that acts like a metabolic brake and can make the body store fat instead of burning it. By turning that brake down, this peptide helps support a healthier metabolism, making weight loss feel more natural while preserving lean muscle.
Cellular Energy and Longevity
NAD+
NAD+ is a molecule your body uses to create energy at the cellular level. It helps your cells work more efficiently, which can support better energy, clearer thinking, improved endurance, and healthier aging over time. NAD+ also plays a role in repairing cells and protecting them from daily stress and damage, helping your body recover, function, and feel its best as you age.
Methylene Blue
Methylene Blue enhances mitochondrial efficiency, acts as a powerful antioxidant, and supports cognitive function, memory, mood, and long term brain health.
Immune and Inflammatory Balance
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
LDN helps regulate the immune system, reduce chronic inflammation, support gut health, and manage symptoms associated with autoimmune conditions (e.g., Hashimoto’s, Multiple Sclerosis), chronic pain, and mood imbalance.
Your wellness journey is personal, and your treatment plan should be too. Peptides give us the ability to support your body in a targeted, intentional way, helping you feel more energized, balanced, and resilient from the inside out.
