Advanced Anti-Aging Hormone Therapy
What is growth hormone?
Growth hormone —also known as GH or HGH— is naturally produced by the pituitary gland.
Although it is usually associated with growth during childhood, it continues to have important functions during adult life.
Participates in processes related to:
- Body composition
- Muscles
- Bones
- Metabolism
In some adults, the body may produce insufficient amounts. This is known as adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
More than a treatment, a long-term vision
Invest in your health
It's also a way of taking care of yourself
Some people are looking to solve a specific symptom.
And there are people who want to better understand their bodies, take care of their long-term health, and access advanced medical options when indicated.
Growth hormone therapy is a specialized treatment that requires a significant financial investment and medical follow-up.
That's why we don't recommend it for everyone.
When a deficiency is confirmed and clinically appropriate, we can assess whether it is part of your plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Growth Hormone treatment involve?
It consists of a nightly injection, administered in an insulin syringe with a small needle, making it easy to use. It must be kept refrigerated and is applied around the navel, thigh, or bicep.
What is Growth Hormone?
It is the most complex hormone in the human body, originally obtained from the brain. Due to the difficulty of obtaining it, scientists were able to replicate its 191-amino-acid chain in the laboratory, making it bioidentical. This is why it is the most expensive hormone in hormone therapy.
Are there any contraindications to its use?
The only contraindication is having a tumor in the body, as it causes growth of all cells and the tumor may also grow.
How long should the treatment be used?
To see results, a minimum of 6 months is required, of which 2 months of rest are allowed, maintaining 70% of its efficiency. Now, if budget is not a problem, it can be used uninterruptedly since it only provides benefits.
