Sermorelin

This injectable peptide stimulates the natural secretion of growth hormone (GH) in your body through different pathways. Increasing GH levels can result in a number of beneficial effects:

  • Increased lean muscle mass

  • Fat burning

  • Improved injury recovery

  • Boosted immune function

  • Improvement in cognition and memory

  • Increased insulin sensitivity

  • Increase in bone density

  • Improved sleep quality

Ultra-Burn Energy Boosts

This energy boosting shot contains compounds that aid with fat loss and can support lean muscle gain. These are most effective when administered twice a week at dosages of 1-2mL

Growth Hormone Secretagogues

Summary

Growth Hormone (GH) is considered the peptide of youth because of it's ability to stimulate cell regeneration and is considered anabolic in that it promotes lean muscle gain. These peptides are excellent adjuncts to our medical grade weight loss treatments because they help prevent muscle loss (sarcopenia), which contributes to gaining weight back after stopping treatment. These secretagogues stimulate the natural secretion of GH from your pituitary gland so the levels don't get high enough to cause many of the side effects associated with GH administration. 

The Science of how Growth Hormone Secretagogues work

Sermorelin is an analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and binds to the GHRH receptor, causing both increased release of GH and extending the time of peak GH levels in your blood, while preserving the normal ebb and flow of GH levels throughout the day. Sermorelin does not cause massive increases in GH, which is important for minimizing side effects such as swelling, joint pain, and bone growth. Both sermorelin and ipamorelin stimulate the development of lean body mass over fat, but sermorelin is the more potent of the two. Sermorelin not only stimulates lean muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia, it also reduces fat mass and is effective even if your diet is not geared towards muscle development. Sermorelin has potent anti-aging effects and has been shown to improve joint function, skin thickness, skin collagen structure, wound healing, and metabolism. Sermorelin is also an effective regulator of the sleep cycle, achieving it’s sleep benefits by regulating orexin release that leads to an increase in non-REM slow-wave sleep, which is associated with more restful sleep, improved immune function, and happier mood. Its effect on sleep may be one of the reasons that Sermorelin is a potent anti-aging peptide.

Ipamorelin and CJC 1295 were recently banned by the FDA and are no longer available.

    • B12: A water-soluble vitamin involved in metabolism that assists the body using fat and carbohydrates to create energy and make new protein
    • Methionine: Essential amino acid that enhances fat loss within the liver, neutralizes toxins, and promotes lean muscle gain
    • Inositol: Essential amino acid that plays an important role in regulating metabolic function
    • Choline: Essential nutrient that helps regulate memory, mood, muscle control and other important functions

I had a awesome experience last week with Studio R Aesthetics, first thing was just how amazing the inside of the building was, it was gorgeous and full of light, so comfortable. I was shocked when I found out about all of the services that they provide, so many! Very impressive! I was also impressed by my doctor- Dr.Segura was a delight and very professional but down-to-earth , I felt very comfortable telling her my issue's she made me feel like I was being heard when I was speaking of my problem with my hair thinning, and falling out drastically, I got a bit emotional talking about my hair and she just made me feel like she really understood what I was going through, it was an amazing experience and I definitely will be going back for a long,long time. Thank you Dr. Segura for your kindness and your compassion for me, you are very special.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Segura for a year now, and I’ve had several procedures done by Brandi. Her calm and caring demeanor always brings me great comfort when she can sense my insecurities and difficulty in talking about the things I would like to improve or change. To her, I am the most important person in the world while I’m in her care, she goes into great detail of all procedures, and what they entail. She is very patient, kind and has my best interest in mind at every consultation. She is truly an artist and has given my beauty, and confidence back both inside and out. ❤️ Can’t wait for my next treatment!

Good experience! As a traditional medical person I was a little leery of the spa like setting for what I felt was more of a medical procedure (bioidentical hormone treatment). However, I was treated very professionally by Dr. Itri, who I found to be knowledgeable, competent, and very forthcoming and accommodating in responding to my questions & concerns.

My name is Matt Street. I have been a client and patient with Studio R for well over a year. Over this time, I have used many of the services provided by Dr. Segura, and Dr. Itri. All of the services have been top-notch. Recently, I received a hydro-facial from Michelle. To say it was an amazing and invigorating experience would be an understatement. Michelle uses cutting edge technology to meticulously treat the face and neck area. I typically get about 3-4 facials a year and Michelle is, by far, the best to ever do it. Her expertise includes deep knowledge on how to maintain healthy skin. She provided me with many cost-effective options to continue to maintain a healthy skin routine. I highly recommend Michelle for all your facial needs. I will be exclusively using her services going forward. Thanks, Matt

Dr. Segura is one of the kindest, most patient, and skilled physicians I have seen in all my years receiving fillers and Botox. I have not been happy in the past with the results of tox and fillers from others. Dr. Segura has made such a difference in how I feel. Definitely do not pay attention to the very few negative received as I can only assume they are from her competitors.

I decided to make a Brazilian waxing appointment at Studio R Aesthetics after a friend highly suggested them to me. I was not disappointed. The area is posh, welcoming, and luxurious. Michelle was patient with me as I asked questions and made sure I felt at ease during the wax. She was conversational enough to where I felt less tense, but not so much that I felt like I couldn’t enjoy the experience. I could tell she was very knowledgeable and she gave me a detailed 101 in sugaring vs. waxing. I’ve only dipped my toe into one small area of services here… they have so many more to offer! I’ll definitely be back!

What a tranquil environment! Walking into a very calm and clean reception area I was greeted almost immediately and taken back for my appointment fairly quickly. Michelle provided my services of a hydrofacial and waxing. Michelle was very professional and continued to educate me throughout the entire process. I learned so much about my skin and not only was rejuvenated but relaxed and at times, dozed off. I would highly recommend Studio R for any needs. All staff I came in contact with were friendly and beyond helpful.

I just recently moved (to Lynchburg) and was looking for an injector in a reasonable distance. I found Dr. Segura and loved the fact that she prefers to do the injecting work herself! I had Botox and fillers and when I asked about fillers she was very honest with me about what would help and make me happy. She didn’t try to sell me on more filler even when I thought it’s what I wanted! She was thorough, kind, and extremely gentle. And I’m obsessed with the results! Easily the best experience I’ve had! 10/10

If I could give 10 stars I totally would! For starters this office is GORGEOUS with an amazing vibe and quality music if I might add. Most importantly, Dr. Segura is AMAZING. Not only is she super kind and walks you through every step, but she listens to you and what YOU want and that is super important. I am OBSESSED with my lips and I plan to return for filler and other services in the future. You can tell Dr. Segura knows what she's doing & I love that 👏 The front desk staff were also super kind and did I mention, the office is BEAUTIFUL 🤩 I 100% recommend. If you're on the fence, do it! You won't regret it.

Dr Segura was extremely knowledgeable and helpful!

Every aspect of my experience at Studio R was amazing! The studio is incredibly clean and gorgeous - creating a relaxing, luxurious experience. All the staff are friendly, accommodating, and professional. My Botox and filler consultation with Dr. Segura was extremely informative and honest. This was my first time getting Botox/filler so she walked me through the basics, what to expect, pricing, areas of my face to prioritize over others, etc. She spelled everything out for me so there were no surprises! My Botox/filler combo appointment went extremely well. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time by checking in frequently. To her credit, it was a lot less painful than I anticipated due to the numbing cream and distraction device/methods she uses. It’s been a week since my appointment and I am SO happy with my results! She reduced my “gummy” smile with lip filler and also reduced TMJ related pain I was having with Botox. Studio R is a 1000 / 10!

My visit to studio R Aesthetics was great very clean environment and friendly staff. I went in for a chemical peel for my melasma and hyperpigmentation. Physician Michelle Morris took her time listening and explain me that it’s better if I wait not to get a chemical peel since I have rosacea. I like her honesty that she was worry about my skin rather than doing some procedure that I don’t need. So she recommended a facial which I really liked my skin felt much smoother and brighter main thing my rosacea did not flair up either after the procedure. All there products are great at the clinic she suggested to get some daily power defense moisturizer by zo which works great on my skin. I would Definitely recommend studio R.
