Peptides
You’ve heard of Peptides … but what are they exactly?
Proteins are the building blocks of the human body, and peptides are the building blocks of protein. As we age, our protein production decreases. Peptides may be the key to combating this age-related decline.
Peptides are generally available in oral, transdermal, nasal, and injectable forms. The injectable version (if available) is the most commonly used because they provide the drug’s highest bioavailability in the body.
What can they do?
Peptide injections are given to facilitate weight loss and address conditions causing weight gain, promote wound healing, enhance the production of collagen & elastin in the skin, improve sleep, stimulate (wanted) hair growth, support lean body mass retention & growth, & enhance physical performance.

Peptides will work to supplement building blocks needed to optimize normal metabolic processes by mimicking your body’s natural peptides. In doing this, it triggers a particular desired response that can elevate specific functions throughout your system. Some peptides deliver nutrients to targeted areas of your body and some peptides can, not only regulate hormones, but can function as hormones themselves.
Who can use them?
In healthy populations, peptide injections are generally safe for everyone. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking hormone-mimetic medications, or have a history of cancer you are not able to undergo certain peptide-based therapies.
What type of results can I expect?
Peptide therapy is not a cure-all. It is a supportive treatment that can bolster and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal itself. Many patients feel an almost immediate improvement in the way they feel following a peptide therapy session. Others may find it takes at least a few weeks to notice desired results. Typically, you should notice improved sleep and energy within a few weeks. Full benefits such as increased muscle mass and decreased fat may be realized between 3-6 months following initiation of treatment.
How can I start?
Before starting peptide injections, a consultation is recommended to determine what specific peptides are suitable for your needs, and how they should be administered.
Side effects from peptides are minimal and usually related to the injection itself. This may include rashes, itching, swelling, or redness of the injection site.
At Opulence Chicago we source our peptides from a 503a compounding pharmacy which undergoes thorough regulatory processes to ensure consistency in all their products.
