Peptides: The Science Behind Better Health, Weight Loss & Youthful Skin

Peptides may be small in size, but their role in modern health, wellness, and esthetics is powerful. From medical weight loss and hormone support to advanced anti-aging skincare, peptides are used to help your body and skin function at their best.

At Health Horizons, we offer injectable peptide therapies for wellness and weight loss, along with medical-grade skincare peptides from trusted brands like Obagi, Alastin, and Colorescience—giving you results-driven support from the inside out.

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids—the building blocks your body uses to create proteins such as collagen, elastin, and certain hormones. They act as biological messengers, signaling your body and skin to repair, regenerate, and optimize natural functions.

Rather than overriding your body’s systems, peptides work with your biology, making them a cornerstone in personalized medicine and professional skincare.

Injectable Peptides for Health & Wellness

In the wellness space, injectable peptides are used to support:

• Weight loss and metabolic health

• Appetite regulation and blood sugar balance

• Fat metabolism

• Lean muscle support

• Energy, sleep, and healthy aging

Injectable Peptides Offered at Health Horizons

GLP-1 Peptides (Medical Weight Loss)
GLP-1 therapies help regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve metabolic response. Patients often experience reduced cravings, better portion control, and sustainable weight loss—under provider supervision.

What Our Program Includes:
✔️ Monthly provider visits to monitor progress and adjust treatment
✔️ Weekly or as-needed nutritionist check-ins (first visit in person, then convenient telehealth)
✔️ Semaglutide or Tirzepatide medications to help reduce appetite and regulate blood sugar
✔️ Evolve/Evoke skin tightening treatments (2 treatments per month) to support firmer, toned skin as you lose weight

📌 Patients must meet with a provider each month to remain in the program.

🔬 How These Medications Work:
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are clinically proven GLP-1 medications that support sustainable weight loss by:
• Reducing appetite and helping you feel full longer
• Regulating blood sugar to curb cravings
• Supporting long-term weight management when combined with nutrition and lifestyle changes

✨ Semaglutide: Clinical trials show an average 15–20% body weight loss. We include Vitamin B12 to help reduce nausea and support energy.
✨ Tirzepatide: A powerful dual-action option that targets two hormone pathways for enhanced results.

Sermorelin
Sermorelin supports your body’s natural growth hormone production and is commonly used to help with:

• Improved sleep quality

• Increased energy

• Lean muscle support

• Fat loss support

• Overall vitality and healthy aging

All injectable peptide therapies at Health Horizons are provider-guided and personalized to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Peptides in Esthetics & Skincare

In esthetics, peptides play a critical role in skin repair, collagen stimulation, hydration, and firmness. Medical-grade skincare uses targeted peptides to signal the skin to restore itself—especially when paired with in-office treatments.

This advanced serum combines vitamin C and peptides to support collagen production, improve skin firmness, and protect against environmental stressors—making it ideal for dull, aging, or compromised skin.
