Peptide therapy is gaining attention in regenerative medicine and wellness for its ability to support weight loss, anti‑aging, hormonal health, recovery, and more. If you’re in Manhattan and considering peptide therapy at Dr. Syra Aesthetics, it’s important to understand both the costs and the care process. This guide covers every cost factor, what’s included, and what to expect before and after treatment.
What You Can Expect Before Treatment
Before any peptides are administered, you’ll go through a comprehensive pre‑treatment protocol. At Dr. Syra Aesthetics, this includes:
A medical consultation fee of $300, during which we collect your medical history, current health concerns, medications, and previous lab results.
Bloodwork and lab panels to establish baseline biomarkers (hormone levels, metabolic profile, liver/kidney function, etc.).
Physical assessment and discussion of your treatment goals (weight loss, performance, skin, etc.).
Personalized treatment plan specifying which peptides, dosage, frequency, duration, and delivery method.
Review of risks, side effects, and contraindications. You’ll sign informed consent forms and receive guidance on lifestyle adjustments to support the therapy.
These pre‑treatment steps ensure your safety, effectiveness of therapy, and clarity on costs.
How Much Does Peptide Therapy Cost in Manhattan?
The price of peptide therapy in Manhattan can vary based on multiple factors. Generally:
Wellness / General Use Protocols: $500–$700 per month — includes peptides for energy, immune support, mild metabolic boost.
Targeted Protocols (Weight Loss, Hormone Optimization, Anti‑Aging, etc.): $800–$2,000+ per month — when using high‑potency peptides, frequent follow‑ups, etc.
Initial Consultation & Lab Work: $300 (one‑time fee).
What’s included in that cost:
Compounded peptides from certified pharmacies.
Supply materials for injections or other administration methods.
Ongoing physician oversight and adjustments.
Follow‑up lab testing and outcome monitoring.
What to Expect After Treatment (Post‑Care)
Post‑treatment care is just as important for safety and achieving results. At Dr. Syra Aesthetics, we recommend:
Follow‑up appointments every 4‑6 weeks to monitor response, side effects, and adjust dosage.
Retesting labs at regular intervals (e.g. after first month, then every 3 months) to track biomarkers.
Keeping track of changes like weight, body composition, skin appearance, energy, sleep.
Supporting protocols: nutrition, hydration, sleep optimization, stress management.
Optional maintenance: once initial goals are met, tapering dose or frequency, with periodic check‑ins to sustain benefits.
Key Cost Factors to Keep in Mind
Several elements determine your specific out‑of‑pocket cost:
Which Peptides Are Used — Some peptides (GLP‑1 agonists, GH secretagogues) are more expensive than others.
Dosage & Duration — Higher doses and longer courses increase cost.
Clinic Standards & Location — Manhattan clinics tend to have higher operating costs; at Dr. Syra Aesthetics, we invest in lab work, patient supervision, and high‑quality sourcing.
Delivery Method — Injectable forms generally cost more than topical or oral forms.
Your Health Profile & Goals — More complex cases, or higher goals (e.g. rapid fat loss, muscle gain) often need more resources.
Is It Worth the Investment?
If you receive peptide therapy under medical supervision, with proper diagnostics, follow‑ups, and realistic goals, many patients find it worth the cost. Benefits can include:
More effective and safer weight loss
Improved muscle tone and recovery
Better skin texture and anti‑aging results
Increased energy, improved sleep
But it’s not a silver bullet — time, lifestyle alignment, and consistency matter.
