Questions?

We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.

What is Sermorelin and how is it different from HGH?

Sermorelin is a growth hormone–releasing hormone analog that stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete more of your own GH, while HGH therapy delivers synthetic growth hormone directly. Because Sermorelin works through natural feedback loops, clinicians often view it as a more physiologic, regulation-friendly option for adults with age-related GH decline.

Is Sermorelin FDA-approved and how is it used at Better Med Spa?

Sermorelin is available by prescription and has been used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, but much adult wellness use is off-label and delivered as part of peptide-based optimization programs. At Better Med Spa, Sermorelin is provided under informed consent, with customized dosing, periodic labs, and ongoing follow-up to align expectations, safety, and results.

Who is a good candidate for Sermorelin therapy?

Ideal candidates are adults experiencing signs of age-related GH decline—such as low energy, stubborn belly fat, reduced muscle tone, slower recovery, or sleep changes—who want a medically guided, peptide-based approach. During consultation, the team reviews your health history, medications, and goals to ensure Sermorelin is appropriate and that benefits outweigh potential risks.

What side effects should I know about?

Common side effects include mild injection-site reactions like redness, swelling, or itching, and some people report headache, flushing, dizziness, or temporary sleep changes. In rare cases, fluid retention, joint discomfort, or more significant hormonal effects can occur, which is why Sermorelin is prescribed, monitored, and adjusted by a qualified provider.

How does Sermorelin fit into Better Med Spa memberships and aesthetic services?

Sermorelin pairs naturally with body-contouring, strength-building efforts, and K-Beauty–inspired skin treatments by supporting internal recovery, metabolism, and collagen milieu as you refine your physique and complexion. Many clients incorporate Sermorelin into membership-style programs that bundle peptide therapy with facials, wellness check-ins, and automated follow-ups to track energy, sleep, composition, and confidence over time.

How It Works

Sermorelin is a synthetic fragment of growth hormone–releasing hormone that binds to receptors in the pituitary gland, prompting it to release more endogenous growth hormone in a pattern closer to the body’s natural rhythm. This preserves normal feedback loops, helping reduce the risk of excessive hormone levels seen with direct HGH therapy while supporting gradual improvements in lean mass, fat metabolism, recovery, and overall vitality. At Better Med Spa, Sermorelin is typically used in multi-month cycles with nighttime dosing, lab monitoring, and lifestyle guidance for optimal, age-managed results.

What It Targets

Sermorelin is designed to address:

  • Age-related decline in growth hormone that contributes to lower energy, slower recovery, and reduced vitality.​
  • Increased abdominal fat and more challenging body recomposition as muscle mass naturally decreases with age.​
  • Reduced lean muscle tone, strength, and exercise performance despite consistent training.​
  • Poor or restless sleep that impacts recovery, mood, and daytime focus.​
  • Subtle signs of aging such as decreased skin elasticity, slower healing, and overall reduced resilience.​
  • Clients seeking a more “natural signal” approach instead of direct HGH replacement to support long-term wellness and performance.

Benefits

Sermorelin is believed to offer a multitude of benefits:

  • Stimulates your own growth hormone production rather than replacing it, helping maintain natural feedback and potentially improving safety compared with direct HGH.​
  • Supports increases in lean muscle mass, strength, and exercise recovery when combined with appropriate training and nutrition.​
  • Helps reduce body fat and improve body composition, especially around the midsection, contributing to a leaner, more athletic look.​
  • Enhances energy, mood, and overall sense of vitality as growth hormone levels move toward a more youthful range.​
  • Can improve sleep quality and nighttime recovery, which further supports performance, cognitive clarity, and emotional well-being.​
  • May support skin quality, elasticity, and healing as part of a comprehensive anti-aging plan.​
  • Offered within a structured, medically supervised peptide program at Better Med Spa, including informed consent, labs, and integration with aesthetics and wellness services.​

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

Signature from Annie Y.

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"The spa was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. My skin feels so smooth and fresh, and I left glowing."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"I had my facial treatment with Hailey. She provided me with comprehensive information about facial and its effects on my skin. I’m so happy, satisfied and delighted with the result. Her kindness and outstanding professionalism are truly INCREDIBLE."

"From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. I noticed an immediate glow to my skin and am excited to see the long-term results as my skin continues to heal. Highly recommend!"

"My esthetician was incredibly nice and took the time to explain the entire process to me, which really put me at ease. I appreciated how she tailored the treatment to my skin's needs, ensuring I received the best possible results. After the session, she provided me with thorough aftercare instructions, which I found very helpful."

"I went in with no clear expectations because it isn't something that I've ever done before. I will definitely be doing it again every time I'm in Chicago for another visit."

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."
