What is Sermorelin?
As we age, we may notice changes in our bodies that are not necessarily welcome - skin problems, loss of muscle, increase in fat, wrinkles, fatigue, and more. Don’t let aging bring you down - let us at New Skin Laser give your body the tools to fight back with Sermorelin therapy.
Sermorelin is a growth hormone-releasing hormone analog, often abbreviated to GHRH, which means it stimulates the body into producing human growth hormone (HGH.)
GHRH is a type of peptide, a substance made of amino acids. The function of peptides in the human body is to send signals to control a cellular function - GHRH signals your body to produce more growth hormones.

Why do we need Human Growth Hormone?
Human growth hormone (HGH) is essential to many important bodily functions, such as:
- Metabolism regulation
- Healing and repairing bodily injuries
- Keeping off fat
- Muscle growth and strength
- Maintaining strong exercise performance
What are the effects of HGH loss?
Our body’s HGH production significantly slows down around age 30, and continues to decrease by 14% every decade after that. As we age, we can expect:
- Weight gain
- Loss of muscle mass
- Forming wrinkles, lines, and liver spots
- Higher risk of heart disease and osteoporosis
- Hair thinning or changes to hair texture
- Decreased libido
- Increased fatigue
Why use Sermorelin for growth hormone therapy?
You may be thinking: why not give people HGH directly? Unfortunately,
using a synthetic version of HGH as an anti-aging treatment can
cause a lot of unwanted side effects, such as:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Higher cholesterol levels
- Increased risk of cancer and diabetes
- Nerve and joint pain
- Swelling, edema, and skin numbness
By contrast, Sermorelin therapy doesn’t give you synthetic HGH, instead it introduces an amino acid that your pituitary gland uses so that your body can produce its own HGH. This is better for you because it:
Uses Your Own HGH: You are producing your own HGH that your body already knows how to utilize; synthetic HGH may look identical but does not function identically in your body.
Follows Your Natural Pathways: Your body will use its own natural pathways when using your own HGH; synthetic HGH bypasses your natural pathways leading to unexpected results.
Doesn’t Overproduce: Since your own pituitary gland is producing the HGH, you won’t overproduce it, it will naturally regulate itself. Meanwhile, overdoing synthetic HGH supplements can cause side effects like tumor growth.
What are the signs to consider Sermorelin Therapy?
The anti-aging effects of Sermorelin can help you fight back certain symptoms associated with the aging process. Consider Sermorelin if you meet the following criteria:
Those in their 30’s beginning to experience:
- Weight gain, especially belly fat
- Decreased energy levels & libido
- Increased exercise required to maintain the same muscle strength
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Hair thinning or loss
Those in their 40 and up experiencing:
- The above symptoms, in greater amounts
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Needing reading glasses
- Insomnia
- Forgetfulness
These symptoms become increasingly apparent the more you age, but with Sermorelin GHRH therapy, you can help your body fight back against these effects.
Blood Test Evaluation
The most effective way to know if Sermorelin is right for you is to
schedule a consultation - we’ll go over your symptoms with you and order a blood test to measure your HGH levels to create a custom treatment plan for your individual needs.
When will I notice the effects of Sermorelin?
The effects of Sermorelin will be very natural to you, since GHRH is stimulating your body to naturally produce HGH on its own.
In the first few weeks: You’ll notice better and more refreshing sleep, improved mood, and increased energy levels.
In three to six months: More significant changes will be apparent, including leaner physique with more muscle tone, improved skin texture, being able to think more clearly, stronger energy levels for workout, and feeling less inclined to fill up on junk food.
How long will Sermorelin GHRH Therapy take?
Every patient is different, but generally at least 3-6 months is recommended to get the most out of Sermorelin. Since you are stimulating your body to change naturally, it needs time to both adjust and conduct significant repairs in a natural way.
Can I combine Sermorelin with other treatments?
For some patients we may recommend combining GHRH with hormone therapy, such as testosterone, as these hormones also decrease as we age. Again, as every patient has individual needs, we can create and adjust a custom treatment plan with you during your consultation and follow up visits.
Is there anything I can do to supplement my Sermorelin therapy?
There’s no natural way to boost HGH production to the levels that GHRH can provide, but you can enhance the benefits of your Sermorelin therapy with these lifestyle changes:
- Lose body fat
- Avoid eating 2-3 hours before bed
- Lower your sugar intake
- Exercise more; if possible, adopt a high-intensity exercise routine (be sure to talk to your general physician before starting a new exercise routine)
