Treatment
Tesamorelin Therapy
Tesamorelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide that has been studied for its effect on visceral fat, the deeper abdominal fat that often does not respond to diet and exercise alone. When clinically appropriate, it may support changes in body composition as part of a personalized, physician-monitored protocol. Individual results vary.
Tesamorelin is a peptide that stimulates your pituitary gland to release growth hormone. It is best known for its studied effect on visceral fat, the metabolically harmful fat stored deep around your organs. It is taken as a small daily injection under the skin as part of a physician-managed protocol.
Tesamorelin is a strong fit if your midsection holds fat that will not respond to diet and training, or if labs and measurements point to high visceral fat. It also suits patients seeking growth hormone support for recovery and body composition with a more targeted fat-reduction effect than sermorelin.
Tesamorelin is studied specifically for reducing visceral fat, the deep abdominal fat linked to metabolic risk, and many patients see gradual, measurable change over several months. Its strength is body composition rather than scale weight. Individual results vary.
Treatment starts with a consultation and baseline labs. You take a small daily injection, and your physician tracks your progress through measurements and follow-up labs. Visceral fat reduction builds gradually, with most patients seeing measurable change over three to six months of consistent use.
Tesamorelin is physician-prescribed and monitored throughout, from baseline labs to dose to follow-up testing. Your physician watches relevant markers, including blood sugar, and adjusts or pauses treatment based on your results and how you feel.
At Seven Hills, tesamorelin is used with clear goals and real monitoring, and it can be paired with a medical weight loss program to target the fat that matters most. Book a consultation to see whether tesamorelin fits your plan.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about tesamorelin therapy.
Visceral fat sits deep in your abdomen around your organs, and it is the most harmful kind, linked to insulin resistance, heart disease, and inflammation. Reducing it improves health, not just appearance.
Both stimulate natural growth hormone release, but tesamorelin is more potent and has specific clinical evidence for reducing visceral fat. Your physician recommends the one that matches your goals.
Its main strength is changing body composition, especially reducing deep belly fat, rather than dropping scale weight. Paired with a weight loss program, it targets the fat that matters most.
The most common are mild injection-site reactions or temporary joint stiffness. Your physician monitors your labs, including blood sugar, throughout treatment to keep everything in range.
Most protocols run several months, with progress reviewed regularly. You and your physician decide together whether to continue, pause, or transition based on your results.
