Peptide therapy has become an increasingly popular option for managing age-related hormone decline and a variety of other health conditions. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that stimulate the body's own natural regenerative processes at the cellular level. When administered through subcutaneous injections, peptides can help restore hormone balance, build lean muscle, aid weight loss efforts, strengthen the immune system, enhance cognition, improve skin health, and more.
At Second Spring Hormone Clinic in Hillsboro, we specialize in custom peptide treatment plans to target specific health and wellness goals for each patient. In this guide, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the many peptide injections we offer and how they can benefit you. We will cover key information on peptide types, deficiency signs to watch for, potential treatment protocols, and lifestyle factors for optimizing your results from therapy.
Age-related decline in growth hormone, testosterone, thyroid, and other hormones often coincides with increases in body fat, loss of libido and stamina, emotional changes, and other unwelcome effects. Timely treatment is crucial for counteracting deficiency states and maintaining optimal wellbeing long-term.
At Second Spring Hormone Clinic, we provide advanced hormone blood testing to accurately identify any imbalances. Based on your test results and wellness objectives, our clinicians develop fully customized peptide regimens to restore optimal functioning.
Below is an overview of some of the most common hormone deficiencies we successfully treat with peptides:
Human growth hormone (HGH) is essential for cell growth, tissue repair, bone strength, muscle building, injury recovery, and more. But HGH production falls sharply with age, with deficiency rates highest among older adults. Signs to watch out for include:
Peptide injections can powerfully counteract growth hormone decline. Options like sermorelin and ipamorelin stimulate your pituitary gland to release more of your own natural HGH on demand for youthful benefits throughout the body.
An underactive thyroid gland fails to produce enough metabolism-regulating hormones T3 and T4. Without enough of these thyroid hormones, all bodily processes tend to slow down. Symptoms may emerge slowly over years and can include:
The peptide Tesamorelin mimics thyroid hormones and can successfully treat low T3/T4 levels when dosed properly. Supporting thyroid health with peptides is essential for maintaining energy levels, healthy body composition, and wellbeing as we age.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. But testosterone production falls about 1-2% per year after age 30 on average. Low testosterone often brings troubling effects like:
Peptide injections stimulate your body’s own testosterone output for superior effects compared to synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Ipamorelin, AOD-9604, and Frag 176-191 are among the top peptides we use to counteract testosterone decline in our male patients.
Now that you understand the powerful benefits peptides offer for correcting hormone deficiencies, let’s explore the general therapy process at Second Spring Hormone Clinic to meet your unique needs:
Your peptide journey starts with an in-depth medical evaluation of your health history, lab results, symptoms, and wellness objectives. After gaining a clear understanding of your hormone balance and potential deficiencies, our clinician explains suitable peptide options for supporting your goals.
We develop fully personalized peptide regimens tailored to your lab results and objectives around building muscle, enhancing performance, improving body composition, boosting immunity, and feeling your best at any age. Your treatment calendar provides injection scheduling for each peptide selected.
Most peptide solutions are administered via simple subcutaneous injections – similar to insulin delivery. We show you proper injection technique and provide all needed supplies. Therapy is easily self-managed at home for your convenience.

With vast experience prescribing peptides therapies, the practitioners at Second Spring Hormone Clinic select from a wide array of the highest quality peptides to meet individual needs. Some of our most common and beneficial peptides include:
Sermorelin stimulates your pituitary gland to release more of your own natural growth hormone. This leads to many anti-aging benefits for cellular repair, muscle growth, bone density, injury healing, metabolism, and cognition. It is an excellent peptide for energy, vitality, strength improvements, and body contouring.
Closely mimicking the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, Tesamorelin is highly effective at treating symptoms of low thyroid such as fatigue, stubborn weight gain, and even depression. Getting your thyroid health optimized with Tesamorelin injections brings welcome benefits for your mood, energy levels, and body composition.
Ipamorelin stimulates increased natural production of growth hormone and IGF-1 for noteworthy anti-aging effects throughout the body. It is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that comes with considerably lower risks for side effects than alternative HGH stimulating peptides. Premier benefits of Ipamorelin include fat loss, muscle growth, and injury recovery.
Originally developed for the treatment of obesity and muscle wasting disorders, AOD-9604 peptide is increasingly used for fat loss goals and improving body composition. It mirrors the fat burning effects of growth hormone fragments for targeted spots like hips, belly, underarms and back of arms. AOD-9604 taken with sermorelin or ipamorelin enhances overall body contouring benefits of your peptide regimen.
Another formidable fat fighter, Frag 176-191 works by mimicking the fat burning region of the growth hormone molecule. Clinical studies confirm its effectiveness for decreasing fat in abdomen, thighs, hips and buttock areas. When diet and exercise aren’t providing desired fat loss results, Frag 176-191 injections can overcome frustrating weight loss plateaus.
Thymosin Beta 4 (TB-500) has remarkable effects for repairing damaged tissues and healing injuries. It mimics thymosin hormones produced by the thymus gland to stimulate new blood vessel and muscle cell formation. Athletes frequently use TB-500 injections to quickly recover from sports injuries. But anti-aging benefits for skin rejuvenation and wound healing make it popular among age management patients as well.
This covers just a sample of the high quality peptides available from Second Spring Hormone Clinic for customized anti-aging and restorative therapy. Visit us for a full overview of recommended peptides based on your health goals and hormone optimization needs.
Certain peptides like BPC-157 have shown promise in research studies for healing effects, including potentially helping heal ulcers and damaged tendons, though more research is still needed to fully confirm effectiveness and safety in humans.
Certain lifestyle measures taken before and during treatment greatly support your peptide therapy benefits for hormone balancing, revitalized energy, body sculpting, injury healing, and overall wellness. We provide personalized guidance around:
