There is a lot of misinformation out there.
There is also a long list of online vendors happy to sell you something. The trouble is that you do not actually know what you are getting from an online vendor. It may not be what you paid for, and it may not be safe.
Peptide therapy at Twenty-One Medical is done under medical supervision, the correct way — starting with an examination and bloodwork, and continuing with a provider who follows what happens next.
Symptoms worth a conversation
Peptide therapy may be worth discussing if you are dealing with any of the following:
Whether peptide therapy is appropriate for any of these — and whether something else is driving the problem instead — is a clinical decision made at your visit, after your labs come back.
How the program runs
Comprehensive exam
A full examination and history. What you are experiencing, what you have already tried, and what else is going on.
Lab work
Bloodwork before anything is prescribed, so the plan is built on what your labs actually say.
A real conversation
A detailed discussion of what you are looking for, what is realistic, and what the options are.
Your plan
A personalized treatment plan, written for you, with follow-up to see how you respond.
Why it is done here and not online
- You are examined by a provider before anything is prescribed
- Your labs are reviewed, so the plan is based on your physiology rather than a questionnaire
- What you receive comes through the clinic, not an unverified vendor
- Someone follows up with you and adjusts the plan as needed
- If peptide therapy is not the right answer for you, you will be told that
What it costs
Peptide therapy is not covered by insurance. Pricing depends on the plan and changes with supply, so call the office at 704-227-5060 for current numbers before you book.
Common questions
Do I need labs before I start?
Yes. Peptide therapy is not prescribed here without an examination and bloodwork. That is the difference between this and an online order form.
Which peptides do you use?
That is a clinical decision made at your visit, based on your exam and your labs, and it is not something to shop for in advance. We will talk through the specifics with you in person.
Can this be done by telehealth?
The initial workup involves an examination and labs, so that happens in the office. Some follow-up visits can be done by video for patients in North Carolina and South Carolina.
Is peptide therapy covered by insurance?
No. Call the office for current pricing.
Can I combine this with weight loss or hormone therapy?
Often, yes — and because all of it happens in one clinic with one chart, nothing gets prescribed in isolation. It is discussed at your visit.
