Sermorelin treatments are increasing in popularity because they are safe. Many of our patients here at Revive Medical Center prefer non-invasive anti-aging therapies and sermorelin fits the bill. It’s important to understand that no medical procedure is 100-percent safe. This being said, studies support the effectiveness of sermorelin therapy and confirm it is a safer approach to hormone replacement therapy than some of the other treatments available.
The Basics of Sermorelin Therapy
Officially known as sermorelin acetate, this anti-aging treatment is a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that encourages your body to produce natural hormones. This is different from other HRTs that use synthetic hormones designed to mimic those produced naturally by the body. Sermorelin is considered a growth hormone-releasing hormone, or GH-RH, and it stimulates your pituitary gland, which goes into hibernation as you age, to wake up and produce human growth hormones (HGH) again.
There are many benefits associated with GH-RH therapy, and one of those benefits is that it is safer than HRT, but more on that later. We have been using sermorelin therapy to help our patients and the results have been very encouraging. This FDA-approved anti-aging therapy has helped our patients
- Reduce fat cell production
- Increase lean muscle mass
- Improve their energy and stamina
- Boost their strength
- Extend their endurance
- Accelerate their ability to heal
- Strengthen their immune systems
- Improve their overall heart health
- Say goodbye to insomnia
- Prevent osteoporosis
- Improve their cognitive abilities
- Reduce joint pain and discomfort
- Improve their skin and nails
Because your pituitary gland starts to produce the HGH you had in your bloodstream when you were younger, you begin to look and feel younger again – literally – because that HGH is in your bloodstream again. Sermorelin helps our patients turn back the hands of time in a much safer manner than HRT.
How Is Sermorelin Safer?
Even though medical treatments are studied extensively before they get approval from the FDA, some unintended consequences can occur. This is the case with HRT. What began as a wonder drug for women suffering from severe menopausal symptoms ended up becoming a prescription for cancer. This was not the intent of HRT, but many women who underwent the therapy ended up with breast, cervical, or uterine cancer. Men, too, can suffer consequences of HRT therapy to replace testosterone levels.
Sermorelin therapy does not carry the extensive cancer risk with it because rather than attempt to replace the lost hormones and get stuck in a never-ending balancing act, it encourages your body to start producing them naturally again. When your body produces the hormones itself, there is no risk of overproduction. What the sermorelin does is awaken your endocrine system rather than attempt to mimic it. This is safer than using synthetic HGH, which can cause serious side effects.
