Pair peptides with what you already do at Hello Gorgeous
Peptides work best as part of a whole plan, not an isolated purchase:
| Your goal | In-office treatments we may coordinate | RX / wellness |
|---|---|---|
| Skin tightening & texture | Morpheus8, Solaria CO₂, Lumecca IPL | GHK-Cu, GLOW, SKIN |
| Weight loss plateau | GLP-1 programs | MOTS-c, AOD-9604, Tesamorelin when appropriate |
| Post-procedure downtime | Laser, RF microneedling, peels | HEAL, BPC-157, GHK-Cu |
| Low energy + poor sleep | IV therapy | NAD+, Sermorelin, CJC/IPA stacks |
Ryan Kent, FNP-BC can prescribe and supervise — including coordination with 503A/503B pharmacy partners for medical-grade compounds. That is the difference between a med spa with a real NP on site and a spa selling wellness trends.
