Sermorelin Injections Therapy Overview
Sermorelin peptide therapy is a medical treatment that involves the use of a synthetic peptide called sermorelin acetate. This peptide acts on the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of growth hormone (GH) in the body. Growth hormone is essential for various bodily functions, including cell growth, tissue repair, metabolism regulation, and maintaining healthy body composition.
Low growth hormone (GH) levels, a condition known as growth hormone deficiency (GHD), can lead to various physical and psychological symptoms. Some common symptoms of low growth hormone levels include chronic fatigue, loss of strength and muscle mass, increased body fat, cognitive and emotional changes, thin and dried skin, and poor healing and recovery.
The long-term safety of sermorelin therapy is still being studied. Since sermorelin aims to stimulate the body’s natural production of growth hormone, it’s generally considered to have a lower risk of negative long-term effects compared to direct growth hormone supplementation.
Sermorelin peptide therapy, when administered under the supervision of a qualified medical professional and in appropriate dosages, is generally considered safe for many individuals.
Dr. Davis will perform a thorough medical evaluation and design a personalized Sermorelin Peptide Therapy program based on your lab testing and individual symptoms to help restore your vitality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sermorelin Peptide Therapy
What is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide that acts on the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of growth hormone in the body. It’s often used as a treatment for growth hormone deficiency in both children and adults. Sermorelin works by mimicking the effects of a naturally occurring hormone-releasing factor, leading to increased growth hormone secretion.
This therapy is sometimes utilized for its potential benefits in improving body composition, muscle mass, energy levels, and overall well-being, making it a topic of interest in fields such as anti-aging and wellness. However, its usage should be under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional, like our physician, Justin Davis, MD, due to potential risks and side effects.
Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.
Semaglutide comes in injectable form in weekly doses.
What is Growth Hormone?
Growth hormone (GH), also known as human growth hormone (HGH), is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. Growth hormone plays a crucial role in various physiological processes throughout the lifespan.
Some of its primary functions include: growth and development, cellular growth and regeneration, metabolism regulation, muscle mass and strength, bone health, immune system support, tissue repair and recovery, and brain function and mood regulation.
Growth hormone secretion naturally declines with age, leading to changes in body composition, muscle mass, and other physiological processes.
Semaglutide is a medication used in medical weight loss programs that has shown to be effective in helping individuals lose weight.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, which is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. It helps the pancreas release more insulin and reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It also slows down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, which can help to control appetite.
In clinical trials, semaglutide has been shown to help individuals lose weight significantly more than those who received a placebo.
What are the symptoms of low Growth Hormone?
Low growth hormone (GH) levels, a condition known as growth hormone deficiency (GHD), can lead to various physical and psychological symptoms. Some common symptoms of low growth hormone levels include:
Poor Growth
Reduced Muscle Mass
Increased Body Fat
Chronic Fatigue
Impaired Performance
Thin and Dry Skin
Poor Bone Density
Decreased Libido
Cognitive and Emotional Changes
Joint Pain
Poor Healing and Recovery
Benefits of Semaglutide injections include:
1.Improved blood sugar control: Semaglutide helps to lower blood sugar levels by mimicking the effects of the hormone GLP-1, which regulates blood sugar.
2. Weight loss: Semaglutide has been shown to cause weight loss in clinical trials, making it beneficial for people who are overweight or obese.
3. Lower risk of cardiovascular events: Semaglutide has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in people with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for these events.
4. Reduced need for other diabetes medications: Semaglutide may reduce the need for other diabetes medications, such as insulin or oral medications, in some people.
5. Improved quality of life: By improving blood sugar control and promoting weight loss, semaglutide may improve overall quality of life for people with type 2 diabetes.
It is important to note that the specific benefits of semaglutide may vary depending on the individual and their specific health condition. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider about the potential benefits and risks of semaglutide for your specific situation.
No, consults are not required to book an IV, shot, or lab draw. However, consults with our physician are required for Hormone Replacement Therapy, Semaglutide, Semorelin, and other peptides.

4. Remove the vial cap and attach a new needle to a syringe. Using the needle inserted into the top of the vial, draw up the dose as prescribed by Dr. Thompson.
5. Pinch the injection site to create a fold of skin and insert the needle into the fold at a 45- to 90-degree angle.
6. Push the injection syringe to inject the Sermorelin. Keep the needle in the skin for at least 5 seconds before removing it.
7. Dispose of the needle in a sharps container and replace the vial cap.
