Peptide
therapy.

Targeted signaling molecules for libido, skin, hair, recovery, and metabolic health — prescribed as medicine, dosed to your labs, and supervised by a physician. Not a wellness trend, a protocol.

Physician-supervised peptide therapy in Beverly Hills — PT-141, GHK-Cu, and regenerative protocols for greater Los Angeles patients.

What it treats

Six ways targeted peptides do what a generic supplement can’t.

01

Low libido & arousal

PT-141 (bremelanotide) works on the central desire pathway rather than blood flow alone — an option for women whose low desire hasn’t fully responded to hormones.

02

Skin quality & aging

GHK-Cu copper peptides support collagen, tone, and repair — used in-protocol alongside Morpheus 8 and microneedling for skin that looks rested, not reworked.

03

Hair thinning

Female-pattern thinning and diffuse shedding. Regenerative peptide and PRP scalp protocols, paired with a hormonal workup to treat the cause, not just the symptom.

04

Recovery & repair

Support for tissue recovery after procedures, injury, or training. Regenerative peptide protocols selected and monitored by a physician — not ordered off the internet.

05

Energy, sleep & vitality

Fatigue, poor sleep, and low drive that persist after hormones are optimized. Peptides are layered onto — never instead of — a real hormonal and metabolic workup.

06

Metabolic & weight support

GLP-based peptides for appetite and metabolic health, prescribed inside a medically supervised program with labs, follow-up, and a plan for holding results.

How it works

A real workup, then a protocol — not a peptide off a shelf.

Intake & history

A 45–60 minute consultation. Symptoms, goals, medications, and a review of what you’ve already tried and how it went.

Diagnostics

Hormone panel and relevant metabolic labs where indicated, so peptides are prescribed to a picture — not a guess.

Protocol

A written peptide protocol — molecule, dose, route, and duration — with the rationale for each and how it fits your hormonal and aesthetic plan.

Follow-up

Re-evaluation at 4–6 weeks. Response reviewed, dosing tuned, protocols added or stopped based on how you actually respond.

What to expect

The first ninety days, in honest detail.

  1. Week 0

    Booking & intake

    Health intake and goals submitted online before the first appointment, so the visit is spent on you and not paperwork.

  2. Week 1

    Consultation

    45–60 min in-person or telehealth. History, labs ordered where indicated, first protocol outlined.

  3. Week 2–3

    Protocol start

    Once labs are reviewed, your protocol begins. Dosing, administration, and what to expect are walked through in full.

  4. Week 6

    First follow-up

    Response review. Dosing adjustments. Additional support added only where it earns its place.

  5. Week 12

    Plan optimization

    By now most patients know what’s working. Focus shifts to a sustainable maintenance protocol.

Peptide Therapy — clinical reference
FAQ

Questions most patients ask.

What is peptide therapy?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Peptide therapy uses specific, targeted peptides — like PT-141 for desire or GHK-Cu for skin — prescribed and monitored by a physician toward a defined goal, rather than a generic over-the-counter supplement.

Is peptide therapy safe?

Prescribed and monitored by a physician, with the right labs and follow-up, peptide protocols have a strong safety profile for appropriate candidates. Most of the risk comes from unregulated, self-sourced products — which is exactly why this is done as medicine, in-clinic, with oversight.

Can peptides help with low libido?

For some women, yes. PT-141 (bremelanotide) acts on the central nervous system pathways involved in desire and can be an option when low libido hasn’t fully responded to hormonal treatment. Whether it’s appropriate depends on your history and workup.

Do you take insurance?

The practice operates out-of-network. We provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement under your out-of-network benefits. We accept HSA/FSA cards.

Will I see Dr. Berman herself, or a nurse practitioner?

Every initial consultation is conducted by Dr. Berman. Follow-ups may be conducted by Dr. Berman or a member of the clinical team based on the visit type, but Dr. Berman remains the supervising physician for every patient on the panel.

Do peptides replace hormone therapy?

No. Peptides are layered onto a proper hormonal and metabolic plan, not used instead of one. The workup comes first; peptides are added where they do something the rest of the plan can’t.
