Improve energy, recovery, metabolism, and aging from the inside out.
Even when you’re eating well, staying active, and taking care of your health, you may still feel like your body isn’t performing at its full potential. Recovery feels slower. Belly fat becomes harder to lose. Sleep isn’t as deep. Your skin heals differently. And energy just doesn’t last the way it used to.
Peptide Therapy at Wave Plastic Surgery is designed to re-activate your body’s natural repair and performance systems using targeted, medical-grade peptides, not unregulated online products. These peptides support metabolism, muscle recovery, collagen production, inflammation reduction, gut healing, and mitochondrial energy.
Peptides strengthen what your body already knows how to do, but may not be doing efficiently anymore.
Quick Summary
Peptide Therapy at Wave uses clinically selected peptides, such as CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin, BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and regenerative blends to support fat loss, muscle repair, injury recovery, deeper sleep, improved skin quality, and enhanced energy. Treatments are medically supervised and customized to your goals.
What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, messenger molecules your body naturally uses to signal healing, metabolism, fat-burning, and cellular energy production.
As we age, these internal signals weaken. Peptide therapy helps restore stronger, more youthful signaling, allowing your body to:
- Burn fat more efficiently
- Repair muscles, joints, and tendons
- Recover faster from training or daily stress
- Improve sleep and nighttime growth hormone release
- Reduce inflammation
- Enhance skin quality and collagen production
- Boost mitochondrial (cellular) energy
Wave uses only medical-grade, high-purity peptides prescribed and monitored by licensed clinicians.
No research chemicals. No unregulated sourcing.

What Symptoms Can Peptide Therapy Help Improve?
Peptide therapy supports individuals who want to:
- Lose visceral belly fat
- Improve muscle tone and recovery
- Reduce inflammation in joints or tendons
- Heal faster after injury or surgery
- Improve sleep quality
- Increase overall energy and stamina
- Enhance skin, hair, and collagen
- Support a more youthful metabolism
These concerns often appear with natural aging and hormone decline, and peptide therapy adds a layer of internal support.
Common Medical-Grade Peptides Used at Wave
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
Goal: Recovery, muscle building, fat loss, sleep quality
This paired therapy stimulates your natural nocturnal growth hormone pulse—supporting deeper sleep, better repair, improved body composition, and youthful skin/tissue health.
Tesamorelin
Goal: Reduce visceral (“deep belly”) fat
A clinically proven GHRH analogue shown to meaningfully reduce visceral adipose tissue, improve lipid profiles, and support metabolic health—all while preserving lean muscle.
BPC-157 + TB-500
Goal: Joint repair, tendon healing, and inflammatory recovery
A powerful healing combination used for muscle strains, tendon injuries, chronic inflammation, gut repair, and pre- and post-surgical recovery.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
Goal: Mitochondrial energy + cellular longevity
This peptide targets the mitochondria directly, helping stabilize energy production (ATP), reduce oxidative stress, and support fatigue resistance. Many patients report a noticeable improvement in stamina.
Glow Peptide Blend (GHK-Cu + BPC-157 + TB-500)
Goal: Skin rejuvenation + regenerative repair
GHK-Cu promotes collagen, skin healing, and hair health; combined with repair peptides, it enhances both aesthetic and internal tissue support.

Wave will always consider your medical history, current medications, and hormone baseline before recommending peptides.
How Does Peptide Therapy Work at Wave?
We evaluate your goals, body composition, recovery, energy, healing, skin quality, and whether you are on BHRT or weight-loss medications.
Your provider selects the peptides best suited to your goals and teaches you how to use them safely at home with ultra-fine, subcutaneous injections or peptide pens.
- CJC-1295/Ipamorelin: deeper sleep & recovery within 2–3 weeks
- Tesamorelin: visceral fat reduction over 8–12 weeks
- BPC-157/TB-500: injury relief often within 7–10 days
- SS-31: noticeable improvements in energy within weeks
- Glow blend: skin benefits within 4–6 weeks
Peptides are used in cycles to prevent receptor burnout and maintain long-term effectiveness.
Wave schedules follow-ups to monitor your progress and adjust dosing.

How Peptides Enhance Results From BHRT, Weight Loss, and Surgery
Peptide therapy is designed to work with your other wellness or aesthetic treatments, not separately.
BHRT + Peptides = Stronger Internal Optimization
- BHRT restores hormone balance
- Peptides enhance metabolism, repair, and cellular energy
Surgery + Peptides = Faster, Smoother Recovery
Wave frequently uses healing peptides (BPC-157 + TB-500) before and after surgery to:
- Reduce inflammation and swelling
- Support tissue repair
- Improve scar quality
- Speed up the recovery timeline
GLP-1 / Weight Loss + Peptides
Tesamorelin and GH-related peptides support fat loss while preserving muscle, which is critical when patients are using GLP-1 medications.
