The AST Weight Loss Program

Peptide therapy at Advanced Surgical Technology offers advanced treatments for weight loss, aesthetics, and wellness. With personalized protocols and medical guidance, patients receive convenient self-administered peptide injections designed to enhance health, appearance, and vitality.

Peptide Therapy at Advanced Surgical Technology

At Advanced Surgical Technology, we offer peptide therapy, a medical approach that uses naturally occurring amino acid chains to influence specific functions in the body. Peptides can be applied across multiple areas, including medical weight loss, skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, and overall wellness. By supporting natural biological processes, peptide therapy can provide measurable improvements with a favorable safety profile. Our board-certified providers conduct a detailed consultation and lab review to determine the best peptide plan for each patient. Schedule your consultation today to learn which peptide options may be right for you.

What Is Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy involves short chains of amino acids that signal targeted biological responses. These compounds regulate processes such as metabolism, tissue repair, hormone activity, and cellular health. By supplementing with peptides, patients can address issues including weight management, skin quality, healing, and long-term wellness.

Peptides We Offer:

• GHK-Cu: Boosts collagen production, elasticity, and visible anti-aging results.
• BPC-157: Supports systemic healing, inflammation control, and recovery.
• GLOW (exclusive to Aesthetics): Promotes skin brightness and a more youthful appearance.
• Wolverine Stack
• Duo-Blend
• NAD+ (technically not a peptide but we’re including it here): Enhances cellular energy, repair, and skin quality while slowing visible aging.

Weight Loss Peptides:

• Retatrutide: Regulates appetite and metabolism to support weight loss.
• Tesamorelin: Stimulates growth hormone release to reduce visceral fat.
• Semaglutide: Mimics GLP-1 activity to promote satiety and weight control.
• Tirzepatide: Dual-action peptide for enhanced weight reduction and metabolic function.
• AOD-9604 as an add on: Encourages fat metabolism without altering blood sugar regulation.

Benefits of Peptide Therapy

Weight management: Supports appetite control, fat metabolism, and metabolic function.
Aesthetic rejuvenation: Stimulates collagen, improves skin tone, reduces wrinkles, and enhances repair.
Overall wellness: Promotes cellular repair, better sleep, energy balance, cognitive support, and recovery.
Individualized protocols: Treatments tailored to each patient’s health and aesthetic goals.

Your Consultation

Consultations include a full medical review and, for weight loss programs, an initial lab panel. During this visit, your provider outlines options and selects the most appropriate peptides. Once your plan is set, you will receive pre-filled syringes for at-home injections.

What to Expect During Peptide Therapy

Patients self-administer peptide injections at home using pre-filled syringes provided by our office. With the exception of NAD+, which is delivered differently, all peptides are designed for simple subcutaneous administration. Clear instructions, follow-up support, and ongoing monitoring are provided to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Peptide Therapy Results

Results depend on the peptide type and treatment goals. Weight loss peptides often reduce appetite and support fat loss, while aesthetic peptides improve tone, elasticity, and collagen production. Wellness peptides may enhance recovery, energy, and cognitive health. Most patients notice progressive improvements within weeks to months of consistent use.

Patients exploring peptide therapy may also benefit from weight loss programs, IV nutrition therapy, primary care services, and aesthetic treatments such as laser skin rejuvenation and injectables.

FAQs

What is the difference between peptides and traditional hormone therapy?

Peptides are targeted amino acid chains that signal specific biological processes, while hormone therapy typically replaces or supplements hormones directly. Peptides offer precision with fewer systemic side effects.

Are peptide injections painful to administer at home?

Most patients find subcutaneous peptide injections quick and relatively comfortable, often comparable to an insulin shot. Our team provides training to ensure safe and easy administration.

How long does it take to see results from peptide therapy?

Some patients notice benefits within weeks, while others require several months for full results. Timing depends on the peptide selected and individual health goals.

Can peptides be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Peptides are often used alongside weight loss programs, IV nutrition, or aesthetic procedures. Your provider will customize a safe and effective treatment plan.

Are there risks or side effects associated with peptide therapy?

Possible side effects may include mild injection site irritation, fluid retention, or fatigue. Serious reactions are rare. Risks are discussed thoroughly at your consultation.

Do peptides require ongoing use to maintain results?

For many patients, continued use is recommended to sustain benefits. Your provider will advise on treatment cycles and maintenance protocols.

Can peptide therapy support athletic performance or recovery?

Certain peptides aid muscle repair, reduce inflammation, and improve endurance, making them useful for recovery and performance goals under medical supervision.

Is peptide therapy covered by insurance?

Most peptide therapies are not covered by insurance, as they are considered elective or wellness treatments. Costs are discussed in detail during your consultation.

Who should avoid peptide therapy?

Peptide therapy may not be appropriate for patients with certain cancers, uncontrolled medical conditions, or specific allergies. A thorough evaluation ensures safety before beginning treatment.
