Physician-supervised, pharmacy-grade peptide protocols for recovery, longevity, body composition, sexual wellness, immune health, and cognitive performance. Twelve compounds. Three proprietary blends. All supervised by our licensed medical team from day one.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules throughout your body. They tell your cells to repair, produce hormones, regulate inflammation, burn fat, and more. As we age, natural peptide production declines — and so does the communication your body depends on to perform at its best.
Peptide therapy uses carefully selected, compounded peptides to restore those signals under medical supervision. The difference between results and risk is entirely in the sourcing, dosing, and clinical oversight behind it.

We make it straightforward. You bring your goals and questions. We bring the clinical expertise.
Meet with our licensed medical team. We review your health history, your goals, and any previous treatments. No obligation. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what peptide therapy can and cannot do for you.
If you are a good candidate, your provider designs a protocol matched to your specific goals, dosage requirements, and timeline. All peptides are prescribed by a licensed provider and sourced from a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy.
Receive treatments in our Torrance or El Segundo clinic or self-administer at home with guided instruction. Either way, our team stays involved, monitors your progress, and adjusts your protocol as you respond over time.
Every plan below shows you exactly what you are enrolling in — the compound, the vial count, the dose, the frequency, and the cycle length. That is what you are paying for: a specific supply of a pharmaceutical-grade compound, a provider prescription, all supplies, and the clinical oversight behind it. Nothing estimated, nothing vague.
Our proprietary pre-mixed recovery blend — BPC-157 and TB-500 combined in equal concentrations in a single vial. BPC-157 supports angiogenesis and local tissue repair daily; TB-500 promotes cell migration and systemic inflammation reduction. One injection per day covers both compounds. Simpler than managing two separate protocols, and formulated specifically by our medical team. 5 vials cover the full 12-week cycle.
BPC-157 is the most researched recovery peptide available — and at Skin Works, it is delivered orally or sublingually, no injections required. Derived from a protein naturally found in gastric juice, it accelerates healing by promoting new blood vessel formation, increasing collagen in damaged tendons and ligaments, and reducing local inflammation. Taken on an empty stomach for maximum absorption. Standard 8-week cycle for gut or digestive repair; 6-week cycle for acute injury recovery.
TB-500 promotes the movement of healing cells to damaged tissue — a process called cell migration — allowing your body to deliver repair resources more efficiently. It reduces inflammation throughout the body (not just locally) and may reduce scar tissue formation over time. The standard injury protocol runs 6 weeks at 2.5mg twice weekly, then a 6 to 8 week break. Most effective when combined with BPC-157 as the Wolverine Blend or Recovery Stack.
CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin work through two different receptor pathways at the same pituitary cell — one extends the hypothalamic GH signal, the other triggers release through the ghrelin system. Together they produce a growth hormone pulse that is larger and cleaner than either alone, without raising cortisol or prolactin. Patients typically report improved sleep quality within two to four weeks. Body composition changes develop over two to three months. Administered nightly on an empty stomach at least one hour before bed to align with natural GH release timing.
Tesamorelin is the only FDA-approved growth hormone-releasing hormone peptide available — and the one with the strongest clinical evidence for visceral fat reduction. Clinical trials documented 15 to 18% reduction in deep abdominal fat. It stimulates your pituitary to release your own natural growth hormone rather than introducing external hormones. Standard protocol is 1mg daily, administered before bed on an empty stomach. One 5mg vial lasts 5 days; the standard monthly supply is approximately 6 vials.
AOD-9604 is the fat-metabolizing fragment of human growth hormone, isolated to act specifically on lipolysis (fat breakdown) and lipogenesis (fat storage) without the blood sugar effects or tissue growth properties of full HGH. Administered first thing in the morning on a fasting stomach — wait 30 to 45 minutes before eating or caffeine. Standard 12-week cycle, then a 4 to 8 week break. One 5mg vial covers the full month at standard dosing.
Sermorelin restores the GHRH signal your hypothalamus naturally sends to your pituitary — prompting your body to release more of its own growth hormone rather than replacing it externally. Administered nightly at bedtime on an empty stomach to align with your natural nighttime GH release window. One 5mg vial lasts approximately 20 days at standard dosing. The full 16-week cycle uses 6 vials. Most patients notice improved sleep quality within the first month; body composition and energy changes develop over three to six months.
GLOW70 is our proprietary skin and repair blend — three compounds in one 70mg vial, formulated specifically for patients who want aesthetic and recovery benefits simultaneously. GHK-Cu drives collagen and elastin gene activation. BPC-157 supports tissue repair and reduces post-treatment inflammation. TB-500 promotes cell migration and remodeling. One daily injection. A lower volume (3mL reconstitution) minimizes injection site discomfort from the GHK-Cu component. Pairs directly with Skin Works laser, microneedling, and resurfacing protocols.
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide that occurs naturally in the body but declines significantly after age 60. Research shows it activates genes involved in collagen and elastin synthesis, tissue repair, wound healing, and hair follicle support. A natural crossover for patients in active aesthetic recovery after laser or microneedling — the peptide works in the same tissue remodeling window as your treatments. Both injectable and topical formulations available.
Semax supports cognitive performance by increasing BDNF production — the brain's primary neuroplasticity signal involved in memory consolidation, focus, and neuroprotection. It is not a stimulant and does not produce a crash. Available as a nasal spray — which delivers the peptide directly through the nasal mucosa — or as a subcutaneous injection at the same price. Cycled 12 weeks on, 4 weeks off. Most patients report improved focus and mental clarity within the first two to four weeks.
Selank modulates the brain's stress and anxiety neurotransmitter systems — including GABA and serotonin pathways — without sedation and without dependency risk. This makes it fundamentally different from benzodiazepines or traditional anti-anxiety medications. Taken as an evening nasal spray or injection, it supports stress resilience and emotional regulation. Most patients report a calmer stress baseline within two to four weeks. Distinct from Semax in that it addresses emotional regulation rather than cognitive output.
Semax and Selank address the brain from opposite directions. Semax supports cognitive output — focus, memory, neuroplasticity — through BDNF production, taken in the morning. Selank supports stress regulation and emotional resilience through GABA and serotonin modulation, taken in the evening. Together they cover the full cognitive day: sharper output when you need it, calmer baseline when you don't. Patients experiencing both mental fatigue and chronic stress benefit most from the combination. Both sprays from one pharmacy order. $699 versus $858 purchased separately.
KLOW is our proprietary metabolic and inflammatory defense blend — formulated by our medical team to address the intersection of metabolic health and systemic inflammation. Administered as a single daily injection, one 80mg vial covers 30 days. Compound composition and candidacy are reviewed with your provider at consultation. Best suited for patients with metabolic health goals, chronic inflammation concerns, or those building a comprehensive longevity protocol.
MOTS-c targets metabolic health at the cellular energy level — improving how efficiently your cells produce and use energy through mitochondrial signaling pathways. Research suggests benefits for insulin sensitivity, glucose regulation, and metabolic resilience. Standard protocol is a 6-week cycle at 5mg twice weekly, then a 4 to 8 week break. Your provider will select the appropriate cycle scenario at consultation based on your goals and current metabolic picture.
Epitalon is not a daily or monthly peptide. Your provider will prescribe one of two cycle formats based on your goals. The standard protocol uses one 11mg vial at approximately 330mcg per night for around 33 days. The ramped protocol uses two vials over 23 nights — starting at a lower dose and escalating — which mirrors the research protocols most closely. Both formats are administered at bedtime to align with circadian rhythms. Recommended twice per year, approximately 6 months apart. $349 per cycle — $698 per year for both.
Thymosin Alpha-1 directly supports T-cell maturation — the immune system's primary adaptive defense mechanism. It is not a supplement. It is a prescription compound approved for clinical use in over 35 countries with a well-characterized safety profile built on decades of clinical research. Eight single-use vials per month, two injections per week. Immune response builds progressively over four to eight weeks. Best for patients with immune concerns, chronic fatigue with an immune component, or anyone building a foundational longevity protocol.
PT-141 activates melanocortin receptors in the hypothalamus — the brain region governing sexual motivation and arousal — through a central nervous system mechanism completely distinct from PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra. FDA-approved for women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder; prescribed for men as well. Administered 2 to 4 hours before planned intimacy. Effects last up to 12 hours. One 10mg vial contains multiple doses depending on your prescribed amount — starting doses yield more uses per vial, higher doses fewer.
Every plan at Skin Works includes a prescription from one of our licensed medical providers, pharmaceutical-grade compounds sourced exclusively from a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy in the United States, all necessary supplies, and ongoing access to your provider throughout your protocol. There are no hidden pharmacy fees. There are no separate supply charges. The price you see is the price you pay. Pricing is discussed and confirmed at your free consultation.
Peptide therapy is an emerging field. Many of the peptides listed on this page are not FDA-approved drugs — PT-141 (Vyleesi) and Tesamorelin (Egrifta) are exceptions with direct FDA approval for specific indications. All other compounds require a valid prescription from a licensed medical provider following a clinical evaluation. At Skin Works, all peptides are sourced exclusively from licensed 503A compounding pharmacies operating under U.S. federal standards. We do not source from research suppliers, overseas manufacturers, or unverified distributors. Before starting any peptide protocol, your provider will review your health history to confirm suitability and discuss what published clinical research currently supports, and how these compounds are addressed under federal compounding guidelines.
Peptides work with your biology, not against it. Results develop progressively and are best sustained with consistent use and medical monitoring.
Meet with your provider, review your health history and goals, and receive your personalized peptide prescription. Your first supply is sourced and prepared.
Many patients notice improved sleep quality, energy, or reduced inflammation within the first two to four weeks. These are early indicators, not the full effect.
Body composition shifts, injury recovery improvements, cognitive clarity, and skin quality changes typically become measurable and visible in this window.
Your provider reviews your response, adjusts dosing if needed, and determines whether to continue, cycle off, or layer additional compounds based on your progress.
