Peptide Therapy · Torrance & El Segundo
Peptide TherapyMedical guidance before the protocol.
Peptide therapy is a fast-changing area of medicine. Skin Works offers consultation-led programs for recovery, body composition, skin support, cognitive goals, longevity and sexual wellness, with the specific compound, formulation and pharmacy availability confirmed by the medical team before treatment.
Prescription required. Many peptide uses are investigational or off-label. Availability can change with federal/state rules and pharmacy sourcing.
The Skin Works Approach
Peptides are not a one-size-fits-all wellness product.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids involved in many signaling pathways in the body. That does not mean every marketed peptide has proven clinical benefit. The important questions are which compound is being considered, what evidence exists for the goal, whether the formulation is legally available, and whether it makes sense for the individual.
02
Current availability is confirmed
Compounding rules and pharmacy availability can change. The website does not override current federal or state requirements.
03
FDA approval is described accurately
An FDA-approved brand indication is not the same as saying every compounded version or wellness use is FDA-approved.
04
Ongoing clinical support
If a protocol is prescribed, the team remains available for administration guidance, follow-up questions and appropriate reassessment.

Important Medical Context
Peptide regulation is changing quickly.
Many peptides marketed in wellness settings are not FDA-approved drugs. Compounded medications are also not FDA-approved simply because they are made by a licensed pharmacy.
What this means for this page
Program names and pricing below reflect the clinic menu supplied for this page. Actual availability, formulation, pharmacy source and prescription are confirmed at the time of consultation and may change. FDA-approved tesamorelin and bremelanotide products also have narrow labeled indications; other uses should not be represented as FDA-approved.

Protocol & follow-up
If prescribed, you receive current pricing, administration guidance and a follow-up plan appropriate to the medication and goal.
Common Questions
What to know before you start
Peptide therapy should be discussed compound by compound rather than treated as one single category of medicine.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Prescription peptide programs at Skin Works require a medical evaluation and an appropriate prescription. The consultation also confirms whether the requested compound is currently available through an appropriate pharmacy pathway.
Are all of these peptides FDA-approved?
No. Many compounds on wellness peptide menus are investigational and are not FDA-approved drugs. Tesamorelin and bremelanotide have FDA-approved branded products for specific indications, but that approval does not automatically apply to compounded versions or different uses.
Is Tesamorelin FDA-approved for ordinary belly-fat or weight-loss treatment?
No. FDA-approved Egrifta is indicated for reduction of excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy and is not indicated for general weight-loss management. Any other use requires separate medical judgment and should not be described as an FDA-approved use.
Is PT-141 / Bremelanotide FDA-approved for men?
No. FDA-approved Vyleesi is indicated for acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women. The label specifically states it is not indicated for men or postmenopausal women and is not a performance-enhancement drug. Other prescribing is outside the labeled indication.
Why might a peptide shown here not be available when I call?
Compounding rules, FDA policy, state requirements and pharmacy sourcing can change. Some peptide bulk substances are under active federal review. Skin Works confirms current availability before any prescription or payment is finalized.
Can I self-administer at home?
That depends on the specific medication, formulation and provider decision. When home administration is appropriate, the clinic can provide instruction and follow-up. Some products may use non-injectable formulations.
How soon should I expect results?
There is no universal peptide timeline. Evidence and expected response differ dramatically by compound and indication. Your provider should set expectations based on the specific medication rather than promise a generic two- or four-week result.
Which program is right for me?
That is the purpose of the consultation. Start with the outcome you care about rather than choosing a peptide from a list. The medical team can explain which options have the strongest rationale, which are investigational, and whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
