Peptide Therapy as the New Age of Skin Regeneration: How Treating the Body Internally Creates Healthier, More Responsive Skin

Peptide therapy is on its way to the top of our lists of favorite ways to support skin health due to its internal benefits, which quickly show up externally as well. Peptides improve things like excess inflammation and collagen production while boosting cellular repair in real time, so that you feel better, too. Not only do you feel better, but improved cellular repair helps speed up the healing process after our other treatments, like lasers, microneedling, or peels. At Coco Med Spa in St. Pete, we’re taking the idea of treating the skin from the inside out seriously, and we’re excited for the opportunity to bring peptide therapy to our clients. 

How does internal repair from peptide therapy extend to your skin?

As a medical spa, many of our treatments include controlled injury to the skin so that it will repair damage as it regenerates healthier, new skin. As we age, or based on external stress factors like stress, these processes can slow down and become less efficient. While results may still be possible, they could also use a little boost. Peptides improve inflammation response, ensuring that it doesn’t linger longer than is necessary for healing. They also help with collagen signaling, reducing the chances of scar tissue while improving the outcome of youthful, firm new skin. In a nutshell, when using peptides, you’ll heal faster from other treatments and find better results from those treatments too! 

Which of the peptides offered at Coco Med Spa support skin regeneration and why?

• GHK-Cu accelerates epidermal regeneration, improves keratinocyte function, and supports the lipid barrier.  

• BPC-157 helps with inflammation and gut health. Can support inflammatory regulation. 

• Thymosin Beta4 helps with cellular migration and tissue regeneration. 

• CJC/Impamorelin increases cellular turnover and repair, facilitates collagen synthesis, and improves sleep. Can support systemic recovery and repair via improved growth hormone signaling.

• Sermorelin supports nightly repair and recovery cycles by promoting healthy growth hormone signaling, which plays a role in overall tissue and skin health.

• 5 amino 1MQ reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. This can improve cellular energy and repair. 

• Glutathione reduces oxidative stress and supports detoxification. This is ideal for laser patients and pigment-prone skin types.

We’re so happy to be bringing peptide therapy to our clients in St. Pete, and we can’t wait to see how the results from our external treatments are compounded by the internal support that peptide therapy offers.
