At our Arlington practice, feminine wellness is never fragmented—it is fully integrated. I bring decades of surgical expertise in cosmetic and functional gynecology, while Amy Haddad brings deep, specialized mastery in non-surgical wellness, hormones, and peptide therapy. Together, we have intentionally united our two worlds into one coordinated approach, allowing us to care for women comprehensively—before, during, and long after treatment—so you receive thoughtful, personalized care designed to support your health, healing, confidence, and longevity.
🧬 Introducing Advanced Peptide Therapy — A Personalized, Science-Driven Wellness Pathway
For years, many of you have trusted our approach to hormone balance and functional wellness through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Today, I want to introduce you to the next layer of optimized health: clinically guided peptide therapy, expertly managed by Amy Haddad, NP, founder of Revique Medical Aesthetics and leader of our wellness protocols.
Peptide therapy is not a fad — it’s a biologic signaling approach that helps your body communicate internally. Peptides are short chains of amino acids. They are nature’s messengers for cellular repair, metabolism, growth, inflammation modulation, and tissue regeneration. When combined with hormone optimization, peptide therapy adds a powerful, personalized layer to your overall health plan. (WebMD)
Amy manages this side of the practice with thoughtfulness and scientific precision. As Medical Director, I oversee protocols and ensure each treatment plan integrates safely with your individual health goals.
Why Peptides Matter (In Plain Language)
Peptides are biologic signaling molecules—short chains of amino acids that tell your cells how to function.As we age, those signals weaken. Healing slows. Sleep suffers. Fat becomes harder to lose. Muscle recovery declines. Skin quality changes. Energy dips.
Peptide therapy is designed to restore or enhance those natural signals, helping your body work better, not artificially forcing it to do something it can’t.
This is why peptides pair so powerfully with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy (BHRT):
* Hormones create the foundation
* Peptides fine-tune cellular performance
🔍 What Peptides Are: A Quick Science Snapshot
Peptides send messages to your body’s cells to do something — like support healing, enhance growth hormone release, or improve metabolic function. Unlike supplements, peptide therapy works at physiologic levels under medical supervision. (WebMD)
As we age (and under stress), our natural peptide signaling declines.Peptide therapy helps restore those signals, supporting:
* Cellular repair and recovery
* Metabolism and fat loss
* Lean muscle and strength
* Energy, stamina, and sleep quality
* Cognitive clarity and mood
* Skin, hair, and tissue health
* Sexual wellness and vitality
* Immune function and inflammation control
This is not cosmetic fluff.This is biologic optimization.

Deep Dive into Peptides
Who Is This For?
Peptide therapy may be right for you if you:
* Feel “off” despite doing all the right things
* Struggle with stubborn weight or fatigue
* Want better sleep and recovery
* Are navigating perimenopause or menopause
* Want to age with strength, clarity, and confidence
* Want a proactive, science-based approach to longevity
These therapies are appropriate for women and men, and always guided by medical oversight.
🧠 Detailed Breakdown of Available Peptides
The Peptides We Use — and What Each One Is Intended to Do
Below is a clear, patient-friendly explanation of the primary peptides available to us. Not everyone needs every peptide. Amy carefully selects protocols based on labs, symptoms, age, goals, and medical history.
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound)
Tissue healing, gut support, inflammation control
BPC-157 is best known for its ability to support soft-tissue repair—including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. It also plays a role in gut lining integrity, which is essential for immune health, nutrient absorption, and systemic inflammation control.
Why it may be recommended:
* Slow or incomplete healing
* Chronic aches or tendon irritation
* Gut sensitivity or inflammation
* Recovery after procedures or injury
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
Growth hormone stimulation, sleep, metabolism, body composition
This peptide combination encourages your body to release more of its own natural growth hormone, following physiologic patterns rather than forcing hormone levels.
Patients often notice improvements in:
* Sleep quality
* Energy and stamina
* Lean muscle preservation
* Fat metabolism
* Recovery after activity
Why it may be recommended:
* Age-related decline in energy or recovery
* Difficulty maintaining muscle tone
* Sleep disruption
* Metabolic slowdown
Sermorelin
Gentle growth hormone support and vitality
Sermorelin stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a controlled, natural rhythm. It is often chosen for patients who want a more conservative or introductory approach to peptide therapy.
Why it may be recommended:
* Fatigue
* Poor sleep
* Early aging changes
* Desire for improved vitality without aggressive protocols
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)
Skin quality, collagen support, tissue health
GHK-Cu is widely used in regenerative and aesthetic medicine due to its ability to support collagen production, tissue remodeling, and skin integrity. It may be used systemically or locally, depending on goals.
Why it may be recommended:
* Skin aging or thinning
* Post-procedure tissue support
* Desire for improved skin quality and repair
PT-141 (LIBIDO & SEXUAL FUNCTION)
Known as the Viagra of peptides, unlike other sexual health treatments that target the vascular system, PT-141 works directly on the central nervous system to enhance sexual desire and arousal.
* Widely recognized for its ability to improve libido and sexual satisfaction in both men and women.
* Enhances Sexual Desire: Increases arousal and responsiveness through central nervous system activation.
* Improves Erectile Function in Males
* Supports Female Sexual Health: supports arousal, desire and sensation.
* Rapid Onset: Research indicates effects within 30–60 minutes of administration.
* Non-Hormonal Mechanism: Works independently of testosterone or estrogen levels
NAD + (ANTI-AGING)
Is an essential coenzyme in regulating metabolism, longevity, DNA repair, and the immune system.
* NAD+: Reduces the effects of aging, boosts energy, sharpens focus, improves sleep, and brightens skin. It’s a quick way to feel more alert, refreshed, and restored from the inside out.

How Peptide Therapy Is Personalized
Amy does not “sell peptides.”She prescribes protocols and follows your response.
Every patient evaluation includes:
* Medical history
* Symptom assessment
* Lifestyle review
* Hormone status and lab data (when appropriate)
Protocols are adjusted over time based on:
* Response
* Tolerance
* Goals
* Life stage (perimenopause, menopause, high-stress periods, recovery phases)
FAQ — Peptide Therapy
Are peptides the same as hormones?
No. Peptides signal your body to do something. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate systems. They are complementary, not interchangeable.
Are peptides steroids or performance drugs?
No. Peptides are biologic signaling compounds, not anabolic steroids or synthetic stimulants.
How are peptides administered?
Most peptides are given via small subcutaneous injections using very fine needles. Some may be topical or compounded differently depending on indication.
Do peptide injections hurt?
Most patients describe them as minimal to painless, similar to insulin injections.
How soon will I feel results?
This varies:
* Sleep and energy improvements: often within weeks
* Body composition changes: 1–3 months
* Tissue repair and recovery: progressive over time
Peptides are not instant fixes—they work biologically and cumulatively.
Are peptides safe?
When prescribed appropriately, sourced from reputable medical suppliers, and monitored by trained clinicians, peptides are generally well tolerated. This is why medical oversight matters.
Do I need labs first?
Not always—but labs are often helpful, especially when peptides are combined with hormone therapy or metabolic goals.
Can women use peptide therapy safely?
Yes. Peptide therapy is widely used in women, particularly for:
* Perimenopause and menopause support
* Energy and sleep
* Recovery and tissue health
* Body composition and longevity
* Not for those who are pregnant or planning to be pregnant soon
Do men use these therapies too?
Yes. Our peptide and hormone programs are available for both women and men.
How long do patients stay on peptides?
Some peptides are used in cycles. Others are used longer-term depending on goals and response. Amy guides this carefully.
Will peptides replace my hormone therapy?
No. Peptides enhance hormone therapy—they do not replace it. Peptide therapy works best when it complements bioidentical hormone optimization. We handle both Bioidentical Hormones and Peptide Therapy.
Amy is nationally respected for her work in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for women and men. When hormones and peptides are used together, patients often experience:
* More consistent energy
* Better metabolic results
* Improved sleep and recovery
* Enhanced sexual health
* Better long-term anti-aging outcomes
Hormones set the foundation.Peptides fine-tune and amplify the results.
This is why Amy’s role in our practice is so essential—and why I trust her completely to manage this part of patient care.
A Personal Note from Me
I want to be very clear about something important.
I personally use peptide therapy before and after my surgical procedures.I do this to:
* Optimize healing
* Reduce inflammation
* Support tissue recovery
* Achieve the best possible outcomes
I would not recommend these therapies—or integrate them into our practice—if I did not believe in their value and use them myself.
Amy and I work as a true team.Her expertise in peptide and hormone management complements my surgical work, allowing us to support patients before, during, and after treatment in a way that isolated care simply cannot.

🧠 How Amy Tailors Peptides to Your Goals
At Revique Medical Aesthetics, Amy uses comprehensive intake — including labs, medical history, functional goals, and lifestyle — to personalize every protocol. That means two patients with similar complaints may receive different peptide combinations aimed specifically at their:
* Fatigue and metabolic slowdown
* Injury support and recovery
* Skin and aging concerns
* Body composition goals
* Sleep and energy patterns
* Long-term systemic regeneration
This isn’t one protocol fits all — it’s medicine shaped around you.
🌼 Peptides Are Most Powerful When Integrated
We’ve seen the best results when peptide therapy works with bioidentical hormone optimization. Hormones provide foundational balance. Peptides fine-tune and amplify your body’s signaling — improving recovery, systemic health, tissue quality, and metabolic resilience.
That synergy is the reason we integrate these therapies under one roof — with Amy managing peptide and hormone care, and my oversight as Medical Director ensuring safety, personalization, and results. Plus I do all the Feminine Surgeries you may need or desire!
📍 Final Thoughts
Peptide therapy isn’t a quick fix. It’s a medical strategy grounded in regenerative science, meant to help your body optimize function, recovery, aging, and performance over time — with ethical oversight, measurable goals, and a supportive team guiding you every step of the way.
