Overall health and wellness is something many people want to achieve but don’t always know where to start. At Balanced Aesthetics Medspa, we’ve got your answers, which may include peptide therapy. This next-level treatment offers remarkable improvements to a variety of health concerns.
We’ve all heard of hormone replacement therapy and balance, which helps restore our body’s natural functions through regulating hormone levels. Peptides work much the same. This exciting science identifies which amino acid sequences, called peptides, communicate to different areas of the body to maintain proper balance and function. It works by binding receptors on the cells’ surfaces for highly specific actions, improving our overall health and wellness, or even enhancing certain body functions. Because peptides are natural to our bodies, they’re very well-tolerated and incredibly safe.
