Important Notice: All peptide therapies offered through BotoxBarb require a completed telemedicine consultation and medical clearance from Barb N.P. before your order is fulfilled. You may place your order only after your consult is complete and clearance is confirmed. These therapies are prescribed within an established patient-provider relationship in compliance with applicable telehealth regulations.
The Process
How Peptide Therapy Works at BotoxBarb
Begin Your Consultation
Schedule a private 1:1 telemedicine visit with Barb N.P. We'll review your health history, labs, and goals to determine the right protocol for your body.
Your Personalized Protocol
Your plan is designed with clinical intention — peptides, dosing, and timing selected specifically for your metabolism, energy, and long-term results. Not a template. Yours.
Remote Monitoring + Ongoing Support
Your care doesn't stop after your consult. Barb provides continuous telemonitoring — tracking your response, reviewing labs, and adjusting your protocol as your body evolves.
Start Your Peptides
Once approved, you are ready to start your protocol. Ongoing clinical support continues throughout — because this is a plan, not a purchase.
Why Medical Clearance Is Required
As a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, Barb is legally required to establish a valid patient-provider relationship before prescribing any therapeutic peptide. The telemedicine consult creates this relationship, allows Barb to review your complete health history, screen for contraindications, and ensure the right peptide and dose for your specific situation. This is the same model used by leading telehealth platforms like Hims, Ro, and all legitimate compounding pharmacies. Your order is held securely and ships as soon as clearance is confirmed — often within 24 hours of your consult.

Performance & Anti-Aging
Growth Hormone, Muscle & Vitality
Sculpt Blend
Sculpt is a growth and recovery blend combining three complementary peptides: Tesamorelin boosts GH and reduces visceral fat, Ipamorelin increases natural GH without side effects, and MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) aids in localized muscle repair and hypertrophy. Ideal for fat loss, muscle building, and anti-aging.
The Three Peptides
- Tesamorelin (5mg): GHRH analog — stimulates natural GH release, clinically proven to reduce visceral fat
- Ipamorelin (2.5mg): Selective GH secretagogue — increases GH without cortisol or prolactin spikes
- MGF 500mcg: Mechano Growth Factor — supports localized muscle repair, satellite cell activation, and hypertrophy
Best For
- Fat loss, especially visceral / abdominal fat
- Muscle building and body recomposition
- Anti-aging and GH optimization
- Athletes wanting lean muscle support
- Poor sleep quality and recovery
- Those seeking a comprehensive GH protocol
| Reconstitution | Injection Type | Frequency | Dose Range | Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8mg × 2mL = 0.04mg/unit | Subcutaneous | 5 days on, 2 days off | 20–60 units (0.8–2.4mg) | 8–12 weeks |
Onset of Effects: Week 2–3: Increased energy, better sleep, faster recovery · Week 4–6: Visceral fat reduction, improved muscle tone · Week 8+: Noticeable strength gains, lean muscle growth, enhanced metabolism.
Gain Blend
Gain is a four-peptide bulking blend designed to increase muscle mass while optimizing appetite and GH output. It builds on the Sculpt protocol by adding GHRP-2, a potent GH secretagogue that also increases appetite — making this the go-to protocol for those focused on lean mass building and strength gains.
The Four Peptides
- Tesamorelin (5mg): GHRH analog — GH stimulation and visceral fat reduction
- Ipamorelin (2.5mg): Clean GH release — no cortisol or prolactin spikes
- GHRP-2 (5mg): Potent GH secretagogue — amplifies GH pulse and increases appetite for muscle support
- MGF (500mcg): Localized muscle repair, satellite cell activation, hypertrophy
Best For
- Lean muscle mass building (bulking)
- Hard gainers or those with low appetite
- Strength and performance optimization
- Post-injury muscle rebuilding
- GH optimization alongside muscle goals
| Reconstitution | Injection Type | Frequency | Dose Range | Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13mg × 2mL = 0.65mg/unit | Subcutaneous | 1x daily for 30 days | 20–80 units (1.8–5.2mg) | 30 days on / 15–30 days off |
Important: The off-cycle period allows your body's natural GH axis to recover and helps avoid receptor desensitization or negative feedback loops (especially with GHRP-2). Barb will tailor your cycle timing during your consult.
NAD+

Libido & Sexual Wellness
Intimacy & Desire
PT-141
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) works through the central nervous system — specifically the melanocortin receptors in the brain — to directly enhance sexual desire and arousal. Unlike traditional erectile dysfunction medications that work on blood flow, PT-141 targets desire itself, making it effective for both men and women.
What It Does
- Directly increases sexual desire through CNS pathways
- Enhances arousal in both men and women
- Helps with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD)
- Improves erectile function in men
- Increases sensitivity and satisfaction
- Works without requiring visual or physical stimulation
Best For
- Low libido or hypoactive sexual desire
- Hormonal changes affecting intimacy
- Erectile dysfunction unresponsive to PDE5 inhibitors
- Medication-induced sexual dysfunction
- Performance anxiety
- Couples seeking to enhance intimacy together
Contraindications: High blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy. May cause temporary nausea, flushing, or headache. Barb will screen all candidates during your required consult.
Metabolic Health & Weight Loss
GLP-1 & Next-Generation Weight Loss
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable that activates both the GLP-1 and GIP hormone receptors — making it significantly more effective than semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) for weight loss. Clinical trials show an average body weight reduction of up to 22.5% at the highest dose over 72 weeks, with 91% of participants losing at least 5% of body weight.
What It Does
- Dramatically reduces appetite and food cravings
- Slows gastric emptying for longer satiety
- Regulates blood sugar and insulin response
- Improves insulin sensitivity (type 2 diabetes support)
- Reduces cardiovascular risk factors
- Supports liver health and reduces fatty liver
Tirzepatide vs. Semaglutide
- Ozempic / Wegovy (Semaglutide): 1 receptor → ~15% avg weight loss
- Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound): 2 receptors → ~22.5% avg weight loss
- Tirzepatide outperforms semaglutide in head-to-head trials
- Often better tolerated with similar side effect profile
- Excellent for those who've plateaued on semaglutide
Common side effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation — especially during dose escalation. Contraindications: Personal/family history of thyroid cancer (MTC), MEN2, pancreatitis, pregnancy. Barb follows a low-and-slow titration protocol to minimize side effects.
Retatrutide
Retatrutide is the most advanced weight loss peptide currently available — a triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors simultaneously. Phase 2 trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed participants losing an average of 24.2% of body weight at the highest dose over 48 weeks — the highest results ever seen in a weight loss peptide trial. Nicknamed "The Godzilla of weight loss."
The Triple Mechanism
- GLP-1: Suppresses appetite, slows gastric emptying, regulates insulin
- GIP: Enhances insulin secretion, reduces food intake, lipid clearance
- Glucagon: Actively accelerates fat burning and energy expenditure — what sets Retatrutide apart from all others
How It Compares
- Ozempic (Semaglutide): 1 receptor → ~15% weight loss
- Mounjaro (Tirzepatide): 2 receptors → ~22.5% weight loss
- Retatrutide: 3 receptors → ~24.2% weight loss (48 wks)
- 26% of participants lost 30%+ of body weight
- Ideal for those who've plateaued on other GLP-1s
Important: Retatrutide is currently in Phase 3 FDA clinical trials and available through licensed medical providers via compounding. Not yet commercially approved. Barb will assess your candidacy and prior GLP-1 history during your consult. Not recommended for history of thyroid cancer, MEN2, or pancreatitis.
