Tesamorelin Peptide Therapy

Excess abdominal fat and changes in body composition can be frustrating and difficult to manage, even with diet and exercise. At Nowak Aesthetics, Dr. Nowak offers tesamorelin peptide therapy as a medically guided option for patients seeking targeted support for fat distribution, metabolic health, and hormone-related changes. Tesamorelin is a well-studied peptide therapy that works with the body’s natural hormone pathways to stimulate growth hormone release in a controlled, physiologic manner.

Conditions Treated with Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin has been widely studied and is commonly associated with the treatment of increased abdominal fat in specific patient populations, including individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who experience changes in fat distribution. In aesthetic and wellness settings, it may be considered for adults with:

• Increased abdominal fat resistant to diet and exercise
• Hormone-related changes in body composition
• Metabolic concerns linked to growth hormone signaling

Tesamorelin may not be appropriate for individuals with certain conditions, such as a history of pituitary gland tumor, pituitary gland surgery, radiation therapy, kidney or liver disease, or those who have received radiation therapy to the head or neck. A thorough medical evaluation is required before starting treatment.

Who Is a Candidate for Tesamorelin?

A candidate for tesamorelin therapy is typically an adult experiencing increased abdominal fat who is otherwise in good health. Patients must not have active malignancy, untreated pituitary disorders, or certain chronic conditions. It is important to tell your doctor about all medical history, including previous surgeries, head injury, or other medical conditions. Tesamorelin is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Procedure and Administration

Tesamorelin is injected subcutaneously once daily using a small needle. The medication is provided as an injectable solution, often supplied in tesamorelin injection vials that must be prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Patients are instructed to inject tesamorelin in the abdominal area, usually near but not directly at the belly button, rotating the injection site to prevent irritation, hard bumps, or bruising. Used needles and syringes must be placed in a puncture-resistant container and never reused, shared, or discarded loosely. Never share needles or syringes.

Maintaining a regular dosing schedule is essential. If a dose is missed, patients should skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regular time; never take a double dose or extra doses.

Schedule Your Consultation
