How It Works
From Booking to Your Sofa
01
Labs and History
A full metabolic panel, thyroid, A1c and lipids, plus a real conversation about what you have already tried and what went wrong.
02
A Provider Prescribes
If the therapy suits you, your provider writes the starting dose and a titration schedule. If it does not, we say so and refund the consult.
03
Titrate and Check In
Monthly check-ins, unlimited messaging and dose adjustments as your body responds. Refills ship straight to you on your schedule.
What to Expect
Before, During and After
Before
Labs are drawn first and reviewed by your provider before anything is prescribed. Bring current medications, supplements and any prior weight or treatment history.
During
Your first injection is taught in person. The dose itself takes seconds; the teaching visit takes about twenty minutes, including what to do about side effects.
After
Message your provider at any point. Check-ins are monthly, doses escalate no faster than every four weeks, and labs repeat at week twelve.
Evidence & safety
What the Science Actually Supports
GHK-Cu is well tolerated with a strong safety record in topical use; injectable use has a thinner but growing evidence base. Mild injection-site redness is the most common side effect. Not appropriate for guests with Wilson’s disease or other copper-metabolism disorders.
Screened for contraindications at every visit. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Speak with your provider if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing kidney, liver or cardiac conditions.
Farima was both extremely professional as well as competent and caring. They spent a lot of time with us, catering exactly what we needed medically and whole body wellness wise as well. They got here on time and on a weekend - it really made us feel cared for in a way we wouldn't at an urgent care or after hours at the ER. Totally worth the money - which was extremely affordable compared to clinics, etc and we had the added benefit of not having to leave the house! We definitely recommend!!!

Farima is truly the best. As someone with a chronic illness who needs IVs regularly, it can be really difficult to find nurses who are both skilled and genuinely caring. They always make me feel comfortable, listened to, and cared for the entire time. They are incredibly gentle, always get my veins easily, and make sure everything is done perfectly and professionally. You can tell they truly care about their patients and want the experience to be as stress-free as possible. I'm so grateful for their kindness, patience, and expertise!! I would recommend them to anybody who Is looking for a great IV experience 😊
Questions We Get
Do I need labs first?+
Yes — always, for any prescription therapy. We arrange a draw at your home or a lab near you, and results are usually back within three business days.
What are the side effects?+
Nausea, early fullness and constipation are the common ones with GLP-1s, and they are usually dose-related. Slow titration is the main defence, which is why we do not rush it.
What does the price include?+
The monthly program fee covers your provider, labs review, titration, unlimited messaging and check-ins. Medication is billed separately and varies by dose.
What happens if I stop?+
Weight regain is common after stopping GLP-1s without a maintenance plan. Your provider will build one with you before you taper — that conversation is part of the program.
Topical or injection?+
Injection reaches the whole body; topical is skin-only.
Will it regrow hair?+
It improves follicle health and thickness; it is not finasteride. We pair them.
One monthly credit toward any drip, member pricing on every add-on and program, and priority same-day booking anywhere we serve. Pause any month; cancel any time.
Step 3Weeks 6–12: the main results window for most programs

GHK-Cu is a prescription medication dispensed only after evaluation by a licensed provider. Common side effects: injection-site redness; rare copper taste. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding, with an active cancer, or without disclosing all medications and conditions. Stop and contact your provider for any severe or unexpected reaction; for an emergency call 911. This page is general information, not medical advice, and not a promise of results.
How GHK-Cu Works
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide that falls with age. It switches on genes for collagen, elastin and tissue repair, and calms inflammation. Used by injection for skin, hair and general tissue quality.
Moderate for skin (topical and some injectable studies), early for the rest. One of the better-studied cosmetic peptides.
Here is how the visit usually feels, from the chair to the next morning.
Week 1–2Daily injection; some notice better sleep and skin texture.
Week 3–8Skin firmness, wound healing and hair quality improve.
Week 8–12Course ends; repeat two or three times a year.
Safety, in plain words
Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding, or anyone with an active cancer without their oncologist's sign-off. Most common: redness or a small bump at the injection site. Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products. Avoid with Wilson's disease or copper overload. Injection-site bruising is common.
How we keep an eye on you
Monthly provider check-in by message, a mid-course review at week six, and labs at home when the peptide warrants them (growth-hormone peptides get IGF-1 and glucose). Refills are only charged after the provider approves them.
