SOLAS HEALTH & WELLNESS
PEPTIDE THERAPY CLINIC · EL PASO, TX
20 targeted peptide protocols — BPC-157, Sermorelin, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, Tesamorelin, PT-141, Thymosin Alpha-1, and more — prescribed and monitored by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC. For recovery, anti-aging, body composition, sleep, cognition, and sexual wellness.
THE BASICS
What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy is a medically supervised treatment that uses short chains of amino acids (peptides) to signal the body to perform specific functions — accelerating tissue repair, stimulating natural growth hormone release, supporting collagen production, modulating immune response, or improving cognitive and sexual function. At Solas Health & Wellness in El Paso, peptide protocols are prescribed and monitored by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC after baseline labs and a full health evaluation.
Unlike supplements, prescription peptides are produced by licensed compounding pharmacies and used under direct medical supervision. Most are administered via small subcutaneous injection a few times per week, though some are available as nasal sprays (Semax/Selank), oral capsules (Dihexa), or topical formulations (GHK-Cu). Cycles typically run 4–12 weeks depending on the peptide and your goals, with results often beginning to show within the first few weeks for sleep, energy, and recovery markers.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PEPTIDE
Peptide Categories — What Each Does
Peptides aren't one-size-fits-all. Different peptides target different biological pathways. Here's how the 20 protocols at Solas break down by what they actually do:
Recovery & Healing BPC-157, TB-500, Thymosin Alpha-1, KPV
Tissue repair, gut healing, anti-inflammatory, immune modulation. Most common starting point for injury recovery or chronic inflammation.
Growth Hormone Support Sermorelin, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin
Stimulates your body's natural GH production. Anti-aging, body composition, sleep quality, and recovery. Safer than direct HGH.
Anti-Aging & Skin GHK-Cu, Epithalon, Fountain of Youth blend
Collagen synthesis, skin quality, hair growth, and telomere support. Both injectable and topical options.
Body Composition & Fat Loss AOD-9604, MOTS-c, IGF-LR3, PEG-MGF
Targets fat metabolism, mitochondrial function, lean muscle development, and post-workout muscle repair without affecting blood sugar.
Cognitive & Sleep Semax, Selank, Dihexa, DSIP
Focus, memory, anxiety, neuroprotection, and deep restorative sleep. Nasal sprays and daily capsules available.
Sexual Wellness PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
Central-nervous-system mechanism for libido and arousal in both men and women. Different mechanism than PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil.
Many patients combine peptides across categories — e.g. BPC-157 (recovery) with CJC-1295/Ipamorelin (GH support) for injury rehab plus body composition. We design protocols based on your goals at your initial consultation.

During Medical Weight Loss
CJC-1295/Ipamorelin and AOD-9604 to preserve lean muscle and protect metabolic output during a GLP-1 calorie deficit. See our medical weight loss program — peptides are a common add-on.
WHAT TO EXPECT
How Fast Does Peptide Therapy Work?
Different peptides have different timelines. Here's the typical curve at Solas — your individual response will vary.
DAYS 1–7
Sleep, energy
DSIP and cognitive peptides (Semax, Selank) often show effects within days. Sleep quality, mental clarity, and stress tolerance shift first.
WEEKS 2–4
Recovery, healing
BPC-157 and TB-500 timelines: tendon and soft-tissue inflammation drops, joint discomfort improves, gut symptoms quiet down.
WEEKS 4–8
Body composition
GH-supporting peptides (Sermorelin, CJC/Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin) start showing visible body-composition shifts: lower visceral fat, better lean mass retention, deeper sleep.
MONTHS 2–3
Anti-aging, skin
Slower-acting peptides (GHK-Cu, Epithalon) hit their stride. Skin quality, hair, and connective-tissue changes become noticeable in this window.
Honest framing: peptides are not a shortcut. They're signaling molecules that nudge specific pathways. Patients who pair them with sleep, protein, and training see the biggest shift — same pattern we see with NAD+ IV therapy.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Peptide Therapy FAQs What are peptides and how do they work?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins. They act as signaling molecules that tell your body to perform specific functions like producing growth hormone, repairing tissue, or building collagen. Therapeutic peptides are used to support and optimize these natural processes. Is peptide therapy safe?
Peptides are generally well tolerated and have strong safety profiles when used under medical supervision. At Solas, all peptide protocols are prescribed and monitored by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC after a thorough health evaluation. How are peptides administered?
Most peptides are administered via subcutaneous injection (a small injection just under the skin). Some, like GHK-Cu, are also available in topical forms. Nasal sprays are available for cognitive peptides like Semax/Selank. Dihexa is taken as a daily oral capsule. We'll teach you how to self-administer if your protocol requires it. How long does it take to see results from peptide therapy?
This varies depending on the peptide and your goals. Some patients notice improved sleep and energy within a few weeks, while body composition changes and tissue repair improvements may take 2–4 months of consistent use. Can peptides be combined with TRT or other therapies?
Yes. Peptides are often used as part of a broader optimization protocol alongside hormone therapy, weight loss programs, or nutritional support. We'll create a plan that addresses your full picture. What peptides do you offer at Solas Health in El Paso?
We offer 20 peptide protocols including BPC-157, the Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 + TB-500), Sermorelin, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, Epithalon, Tesamorelin, PT-141 (Bremelanotide), Thymosin Alpha-1, Dihexa, DSIP, AOD-9604, MOTS-c, IGF-LR3, Semax/Selank, and several custom recovery and weight loss blends. Do I need a prescription for peptide therapy?
Yes. All peptides at Solas are prescription-only and dispensed through licensed compounding pharmacies. Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC evaluates your health history and goals before prescribing any peptide protocol to ensure safety and efficacy. What's included in peptide therapy pricing at Solas?
Peptide pricing at Solas Health & Wellness starts at $190 per cycle and includes your consultation with Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC — health history review, treatment goals, screening for contraindications, self-administration training at your first visit, and your personalized peptide protocol. Direct messaging with the clinic is included for routine questions during your cycle. Individual peptides are billed separately and range from $185 to $270 per cycle depending on the protocol. There is no separate consultation fee, no membership fees, no enrollment fees, and no per-message charges. Do I need bloodwork before starting peptide therapy?
Yes. Baseline bloodwork helps us screen for contraindications, identify any nutrient deficiencies that may affect your response, and tailor your protocol. The exact panel depends on your goals — recovery-focused protocols typically check CBC, CMP, inflammatory markers, and Vitamin D; GH-supporting peptides (Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, CJC/Ipamorelin) include IGF-1 and a metabolic panel; sexual wellness peptides may include hormone testing. Labs are billed by the lab directly — Solas does not mark them up. Who is a candidate for peptide therapy?
Most healthy adults with specific goals — injury recovery, anti-aging, body composition, sleep optimization, cognitive performance, or sexual wellness — are candidates after a thorough evaluation. Peptide therapy is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in active or recent cancer, in some autoimmune conditions, or for patients on certain medications. We screen for contraindications at your initial consultation and tailor protocols to your specific health profile. Do you treat patients from Las Cruces, Sunland Park, or Anthony for peptide therapy?
Yes. Solas Health & Wellness sees peptide therapy patients from across the El Paso–Las Cruces borderplex, including El Paso, the Upper Valley, Canutillo, Vinton, Anthony (TX/NM), Sunland Park, Santa Teresa, Mesilla, Horizon City, and Las Cruces, NM. Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC is licensed in both Texas and New Mexico, and most peptides ship directly to your home from the compounding pharmacy.
