Peptide Therapy
In Algonquin IL
One of Our Specialized Wellness Services for Metabolic Health & Weight Management at Vigeo Care Center & Aesthetics.
Peptide Therapy offers a clinically supported, root-cause approach to weight loss by improving how your body manages hunger, regulates blood sugar, burns fat, and uses energy. Many individuals struggle with weight due to hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, slow metabolism, or disrupted appetite signaling—and peptides directly target these metabolic pathways.
We offer three science-backed peptides used in modern metabolic medicine: GLP-1 | GIP | Glucagon
Your plan may include one, two, or a combination of these peptides based on your medical evaluation. Treatment is always personalized—because not every body needs the same approach.
What Are Peptides?
Peptides are naturally occurring amino acid chains that act as messengers, regulating appetite, metabolism, digestion, blood sugar, fat burning, and energy utilization.
When used therapeutically, metabolic peptides help your body:
Reduce hunger and cravings
Improve insulin response
Convert food to energy more efficiently
Tap into stored fat as fuel
This creates sustainable weight loss without starvation diets or extreme restrictions.
How Peptide Therapy Works
Once-Weekly Injections
Peptides are administered through a small subcutaneous injection once per week, with dosing adjusted gradually and safely according to your progress.
Targeted Hormone-Mimicking Action
Each peptide plays a specialized metabolic role:
GLP-1 – Reduces appetite and decreases cravings
GIP – Enhances insulin response and food-to-energy conversion
Glucagon – Boosts fat burning and metabolic rate
Together, they help you eat less, burn more efficiently, and lose fat in a clinically supported way.
Lifestyle-Supported Results
For best outcomes, therapy is paired with nutrition guidance, behavior support, and movement strategies. We also collaborate with local fitness partners for those who want additional structure or coaching.

Frequently Asked
Questions
How quickly will I see results?
Most people notice appetite changes within 1–3 weeks. Visible fat reduction typically occurs within 6–12+ weeks.

Will I gain weight back if I stop?
Not if healthy habits continue. We provide guidance, maintenance planning, and metabolic support to protect your results.
How are peptides given?
Through once-weekly subcutaneous injections, with dose adjustments based on progress and tolerance.
Is this safe?
Yes—when medically supervised. Side effects are usually mild and decrease as your body adjusts.
