Peptide therapy is one of the fastest-growing areas in anti-aging and wellness medicine. The body already knows how to heal, regulate, and regenerate; sometimes it just needs the right signal to get there. Peptide therapy works with the body’s own biological pathways to activate those processes naturally.At Texas Aesthetics and Bariatrics in Houston, TX, Dr. Ricardo Bonnor offers personalized peptide therapy protocols using short chains of amino acids to prompt specific responses such as accelerated recovery, improved body composition, better skin quality, and hormonal balance.

About Peptide Treatment

Peptides are naturally occurring molecules made up of short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks that make up proteins. In therapeutic applications, specific peptides target specific functions within the body. They act as messengers that tell cells what to do and when to do it.Peptide therapy has gained significant traction in aesthetic and functional medicine because of its versatility. Depending on the peptides used, treatment can address a wide range of goals, including:Improved skin texture, firmness, and hydrationStimulation of collagen and elastin productionEnhanced fat metabolism and body compositionIncreased muscle recovery and physical performanceHormonal regulation and improved energy levelsBetter sleep quality and overall sense of well-beingReduced inflammation and accelerated healing

Peptides We Offer

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157)

BPC-157 is known as the body’s natural repair peptide. It supports healing in muscles, tendons, joints, and the gut lining, making it a popular choice for patients recovering from injury or surgery. Many patients also report reduced inflammation and improved overall physical resilience.

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are most often used together as a growth hormone-stimulating stack. This combination signals the body to produce more of its own growth hormone, supporting fat loss, lean muscle development, better sleep, and faster recovery. It is one of the most widely used peptide combinations for anti-aging and body composition goals.

Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is an FDA-approved growth hormone-releasing peptide particularly effective at targeting stubborn visceral fat which is  the deep abdominal fat that is difficult to address through diet and exercise alone. It works by stimulating the pituitary gland to release growth hormone, which in turn supports improved fat metabolism and body composition.

GHK-Cu (The Glow Peptide)

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide that has earned its nickname as the “glow peptide” for good reason. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves skin firmness and hydration, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. It also has antioxidant properties that support overall skin health and a more youthful, luminous complexion.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

NAD+ is not a traditional peptide, but it plays a foundational role in cellular energy and healthy aging. It is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body that naturally declines with age. Replenishing NAD+ levels through therapy can support improved energy, mental clarity, and metabolic function — and it is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of longevity medicine.
