    Peptide Therapy and Hormones for a Cosmetic Gynecology Practice

    At my Arlington practice, feminine wellness is never fragmented—it is fully integrated. I bring decades of surgical expertise in cosmetic and functional gynecology, while Amy Haddad, my NP, brings deep, specialized mastery in non-surgical wellness, Bioidentical Hormones, and now Peptide Therapy. Together, we have intentionally united our two worlds into one coordinated approach, allowing us to care for women comprehensively—before, during, and long after treatment—so you receive thoughtful, personalized care designed to support your health, healing, confidence, and longevity. To my Cosmetic Gynecology doctors out there consider adding this evolving opportunity to your Private Practice. I released a Lay Public version of this current Cosmetic Gynecology Newsletter, on January 14, 2026, in my Feminine Wellness Newsletter, that you can use and forward to your patients: Peptide Therapy, Hormones, and Whole-Body Wellness. 🧬 Introducing Advanced Peptide Therapy — A Personalized, Science-Driven Wellness Pathway For years, many of you have offered and provided functional wellness through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Today, I want to introduce you to the next layer of optimized health: clinically guided peptide therapy, expertly managed. In my office the program is guided by Amy Haddad, NP, founder of Revique Medical Aesthetics and leader of our wellness protocols. Peptide therapy is not a fad — it’s a biologic signaling approach that helps bodies communicate internally. Peptides are short chains of amino acids. They are nature’s messengers for cellular repair, metabolism, growth, inflammation modulation, and tissue regeneration. When combined with hormone optimization, peptide therapy adds a powerful, personalized layer to overall health planning. (WebMD) Amy manages this side of the practice with thoughtfulness and scientific precision. As Medical Director, I oversee protocols and ensure each treatment plan integrates safely with our patient’s individual health goals. To my Cosmetic Gynecology Doctor and Nurse and PA audience, this is a fresh field to get into that can help your patients. Why Peptides Matter (In Plain Language) Peptides are biologic signaling molecules—short chains of amino acids that tell your cells how to function.As we age, those signals weaken. Healing slows. Sleep suffers. Fat becomes harder to lose. Muscle recovery declines. Skin quality changes. Energy dips. Peptide therapy is designed to restore or enhance those natural signals, helping your body work better, not artificially forcing it to do something it can’t. This is why peptides pair so powerfully with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy (BHRT): * Hormones create the foundation * Peptides fine-tune cellular performance 🔍 What Peptides Are: A Quick Science Snapshot Peptides send messages to your body’s cells to do something — like support healing, enhance growth hormone release, or improve metabolic function. Unlike supplements, peptide therapy works at physiologic levels under medical supervision. (WebMD) As we age (and under stress), our natural peptide signaling declines.Peptide therapy helps restore those signals, supporting: * Cellular repair and recovery * Metabolism and fat loss * Lean muscle and strength * Energy, stamina, and sleep quality * Cognitive clarity and mood * Skin, hair, and tissue health * Sexual wellness and vitality * Immune function and inflammation control This is not cosmetic fluff.This is biologic optimization. Here is Dr. Grant Pagdin summarizing what Peptides are and what they do: Peptide Summar Here is Dr. Taz going a bit deeper on how she uses Peptides: Dr. Taz on Peptide Here is Dr. Shelley Meyer with the most in-depth exploration of Peptides on YouTube: Deep Dive into Peptides Who Is This For? Peptide therapy for your medical practice may be right for patients who: * Feel “off” despite doing all the right things * Struggle with stubborn weight or fatigue * Want better sleep and recovery * Are navigating perimenopause or menopause * Want to age with strength, clarity, and confidence * Want a proactive, science-based approach to longevity These therapies are appropriate for women and men, and always guided by medical oversight. 🧠 Detailed Breakdown of Available Peptides The Peptides We Use — and What Each One Is Intended to Do Below is a clear, patient-friendly explanation of the primary peptides available to us. Not everyone needs every peptide. Amy carefully selects protocols based on labs, symptoms, age, goals, and medical history. Most MDs and RNs are ignorant of these products like I was. Deep digging helped me find what is safe and works. BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) Tissue healing, gut support, inflammation control BPC-157 is best known for its ability to support soft-tissue repair—including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. It also plays a role in gut lining integrity, which is essential for immune health, nutrient absorption, and systemic inflammation control. Why it may be recommended: * Slow or incomplete healing * Chronic aches or tendon irritation * Gut sensitivity or inflammation * Recovery after procedures or injury CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin Growth hormone stimulation, sleep, metabolism, body composition This peptide combination encourages your body to release more of its own natural growth hormone, following physiologic patterns rather than forcing hormone levels. Patients often notice improvements in: * Sleep quality * Energy and stamina * Lean muscle preservation * Fat metabolism * Recovery after activity Why it may be recommended: * Age-related decline in energy or recovery * Difficulty maintaining muscle tone * Sleep disruption * Metabolic slowdown Sermorelin Gentle growth hormone support and vitality Sermorelin stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a controlled, natural rhythm. It is often chosen for patients who want a more conservative or introductory approach to peptide therapy. Why it may be recommended: * Fatigue * Poor sleep * Early aging changes * Desire for improved vitality without aggressive protocols GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) Skin quality, collagen support, tissue health GHK-Cu is widely used in regenerative and aesthetic medicine due to its ability to support collagen production, tissue remodeling, and skin integrity. It may be used systemically or locally, depending on goals. Why it may be recommended: * Skin aging or thinning * Post-procedure tissue support * Desire for improved skin quality and repair PT-141 (LIBIDO & SEXUAL FUNCTION) Known as the Viagra of peptides, unlike other sexual health treatments that target the vascular system, PT-141 works directly on the central nervous system to enhance sexual desire and arousal. * Widely recognized for its ability to improve libido and sexual satisfaction in both men and women. * Enhances Sexual Desire: Increases arousal and responsiveness through central nervous system activation. * Improves Erectile Function in Males * Supports Female Sexual Health: supports arousal, desire and sensation. * Rapid Onset: Research indicates effects within 30–60 minutes of administration. * Non-Hormonal Mechanism: Works independently of testosterone or estrogen levels * Helps augment my O-Shot and Clitoxin practice as well as my ThermiVa/RF/Plasmaporation services to improve sexual function NAD + (ANTI-AGING) Is an essential coenzyme in regulating metabolism, longevity, DNA repair, and the immune system. * NAD+: Reduces the effects of aging at the telomere level * Boosts energy, sharpens focus at the cellular ATP level * Can improves sleep * Can aid in brightening skin * It’s a quick way to feel more alert, refreshed, and restored from the inside out. Dr. Ashley Froese Explains NAD+ and Methylene Blue. We recommend OTC Methylene Blue Gummies. NAD+ and Methylene Blue How Peptide Therapy Is Personalized Amy does not “sell peptides.” She spends a great deal of time with the patient.She prescribes protocols and follows response with regular follow ups via Zoom or FaceTime or onsite appointments. Every patient evaluation includes: * Medical history * Symptom assessment * Lifestyle review * Hormone status and lab data (when appropriate) Protocols are adjusted over time based on: * Response * Tolerance * Goals * Life stage (perimenopause, menopause, high-stress periods, recovery phases) FAQ — Peptide Therapy Are peptides the same as hormones? No. Peptides signal your body to do something. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate systems. They are complementary, not interchangeable. Are peptides steroids or performance drugs? No. Peptides are biologic signaling compounds, not anabolic steroids or synthetic stimulants. How are peptides administered? Most peptides are given via small subcutaneous injections using very fine needles. Some may be topical or compounded differently depending on indication. Do peptide injections hurt? Most patients describe them as minimal to painless, similar to insulin injections. How soon will patients feel results? This varies: * Sleep and energy improvements: often within weeks * Body composition changes: 1–3 months * Tissue repair and recovery: progressive over time Peptides are not instant fixes—they work biologically and cumulatively. Are peptides safe? When prescribed appropriately, sourced from reputable medical suppliers, and monitored by trained clinicians, peptides are generally well tolerated. This is why medical oversight matters. Cosmetic Gynecologists, nurses, PAs will need to bone up and learn this since it is not taught in traditional training programs. There are several quality courses out there. Do your research. Do you need labs first? Not always—but labs are often helpful, especially when peptides are combined with hormone therapy or metabolic goals. Can women use peptide therapy safely? Yes. Peptide therapy is widely used in women, particularly for

    Historical Aspects of Labia Majoraplasty Surgery

    This textbook was published by Springer on October 2, 2025. Dr. Pablo Gonzales and I Co-Edited this very first textbook dedicated to all things Majora. I wrote Chapter 2 on the History of Labia Majora Surgery. Below is the full unedited version. Enjoy. My Christmas gift to my loyal Cosmetic Gynecology Newsletter subscribers. Historical Aspects of Labia Majoraplasty Surgery A Personal Perspective by Red Alinsod, MD Labia Majoraplasty has evolved significantly since its inception as a procedure for gynecologic malignancies to its current stage as a cosmetic procedure for beauty and a functional procedure for comfort. In this chapter I will trace the significant historical developments and focus on key contributions by pioneering surgeons. I will start and end with my personal story. You will notice that there is a common theme. The core is exposure to female genital cancer surgery. My first introduction to labial surgery was in 1985 as a 3rd year medical student at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. Kenneth Hancock, MD, gynecologic oncologist, was instrumental in helping me learn gynecologic anatomy and introduced me to vulvar surgeries. I was fascinated by radical vulvectomies I saw him teach his residents. Dr. Hancock was fresh out of his Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer and Tumor Institute (no MD Anderson Cancer Center). “Anderson” was well known for its aggressive and radical surgeries headed by Felix Rutledge, MD. He was known for Total Pelvic Exenterations (aka Exents) for advanced cervical and uterine cancer. Dr. Hancock became instrumental in writing a letter for me to obtain my residency at Loma Linda University Medical Center who had three Gynecologic Oncologists. Robert Wagner, MD, and Elden Keeney, MD, were graduates of MD Anderson. The Chairman of the department was Alan King, MD, also a Gynecologic Oncologist from Memorial Sloan Kettering Medical Center in New York. My path was set. I was going to be a Gynecologic Oncologist. In my third year of residency at Loma Linda I heard about competitive Fellowships that were going to be started by the two biggies: The Rutledge Fellowship by MD Anderson and the Galloway Fellowship by Memorial Sloan Kettering. With great support and encouragement by my Loma Linda faculty I was accepted to both. I chose to be a Rutledge Fellow, the first one ever, and off I went to Houston. That was 1988, the year L.A. Dodger Kirk Gibson hit that walk off home run against the Oakland As. I was post call and watching it when it happened that evening. My month at MD Anderson was an eye opener. I had never seen any program work their residents harder and with full support and dedication. Their stated goal was to build the finest surgeons with the best hands to be the boss and run departments. A bit intimidating for sure. I met Dr. Rutledge who was retired and on his 3rd wife but who came to all the meetings and even showed up for the endless number of Exents done by the Fellows. I was completely overwhelmed being among legends like David Gershenson, MD, Taylor Wharton, MD, Michelle Follen, MD, Mitchell Morris, MD. The Exenterations removed all the reproductive organs, bladder, anus, vulva, bowel, and we created pouches for urine and stool. There was an “Above Team” that took care of the abdominal hysterectomies and bowel and bladder surgery. There was a “Below Team” that did the complete vulvectomies and made neovaginas out of Gracilis muscle. I made sure I spent most of my time as part of the Below Team. I loved that they let this 3rd year resident do the Fellows work to recreate labias and vaginas from the inner thigh tissue. I was in my element. The staff was very encouraging and pushed me to pursue pelvic surgery. There was no urogynecology Fellowship at that time, so the next logical step was to see if infertility surgery was for me. So, I went to Yale to do a one-month elective in Reproductive Endocrinology in my senior year of residency. I was completely unimpressive. The Chairman at the time was the famous Alan DeCherney, MD. I worked exceptionally hard with the Fellows doing inseminations and IVF. I was in meetings almost every day doing Case Planning with the team headed by Dr. DeCherney. At the end of my rotation, I went up to Dr. DeCherney and thanked him for his mentorship and he said, “and who are you again?” I realized REI was not for me. As disappointed as I was for my lackluster performance at Yale’s REI division, I was blessed to meet one of the most modest and brilliant man I had ever encountered. E. Albert Reece, MD. He was a Maternal Fetal Medicine attending along with John Hobbins, MD. They are the giants who deciphered the causes and treatments for Gestational Diabetes. Dr. Reece was a devout Seventh Day Adventist Christian and taught me the ropes of Academia counseling me to ALWAYS make sure to thank the Attending Staff personally and with letters, so they do not forget me. He encouraged me not to be narrow minded and just automatically go to MD Anderson for my GYN ONC Fellowship, so he introduced me to Peter Schwartz, MD, and Setsuko Chambers, MD, who later offered me the one Fellowship position that was to start on July 1990. I accepted. Then disaster struck. The 1st Gulf War was about to heat up, so the Air Force told me I had to be on active duty and that my deferral for starting my Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship at Yale was rescinded. I was heartbroken notifying Dr. Schwartz that I was not able to be his 1990 Fellow. This disappointment turned into excitement as I served for four years at George and Nellis Air Force Base. I had the privilege to care for the women of the military and retirees. I ran the Gynecology Department and did hundreds of pelvic reconstruction cases. I was surprised to see a demand for labial reduction surgery even then in the early 1990s. So, I did them with both electrocautery and my CO2 laser. I lasered so many venereal wart lesions then. I started using the laser on the labia minora and majora not just for venereal warts. Air Force salaried soldiers and their wives, retirees, dependents, could not afford seeing a plastic surgeon in town so I was more than happy to do their surgeries labial surgeries and prolapse and tightening surgeries. In my eyes it was an easy surgery when compared to the exenterations I had been doing with the teams at MD Anderson. After my Air Force career, I entered private practice in Los Angeles and for a medium sized multi-specialty group. The field of urogynecology was starting to grow rapidly and this really was what I wanted to pursue. From 1994 to 2004 I worked with industry and designed slings and mesh repair kits and surgical tools. I did a few labiaplasty surgeries because it was not a thing back then. Urogynecology was starting to be “The Thing” that gave birth to unofficial Fellowship programs like Ostergaard’s at UC Irvine. Laparoscopy was booming with the rise of Marco Pelosi II and III, Harry Reich, John Miklos, C.Y. Liu, David Redwine. I saw gynecology change slowly from being a specialty for vaginal surgery to laparoscopic surgery. It made me more determined to try and retain and expand vaginal surgery and ensure it was not a lost art. I active taught for Caldera Medical, AMS, BARD, Ethicon. I taught the UCLA residents and eventually became the mesh repair clinical instructor for Harbor UCLA’s Urogynecology Fellowship from 1997 to 2005. I focused strictly on labial and vaginal surgeries. In 2000 I heard about David Matlock and reached out to him right after he completed his MBA at UC Irvine. He had just finished his MBA Group Project of launching the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America. His group aced it. The project became his outline for successfully launching LVRIA. He graduated his first LVRIA class soon after his MBA graduation. I heard about it and was in awe that people would pay so much money for such a course. I saw him take labiaplasty surgery and vaginoplasty surgery into the mainstream with lots of headwinds and naysayers. To this day! I recently asked David why he even went back to school to get his MBA. He said “One thing I learned about an MD, MBA, is that people look at you differently in the business world. A very good friend of mine asked “Why do you need this? You’re already a good businessman,” and I told him I felt that I was holding myself back. That’s why I did it. In my interview with one of the professors, she was called away for a short period of time she had my essay in front of her and what I noticed was that she had highlighted, and I stated I seek knowledge. When I saw that I knew I was in. I have a whole lot of stories, my friend.” “Obviously, with any business, they’re going to be critics. You had to have a thick skin and push through it. The criticism was weird, was the lack of research. There was plenty of research there because of what some of these procedures were drawing from. I knew 100% that the research would come! Therefore, I pushed forward. I was able to grow this nationally in internationally. The media came to me, and I really understood that sex sells. I’ve been on everything. Television shows nationally and internationally, magazines, Vogue, Harper Bazar, Cosmopolitan, Nationally, Internationally, etc., etc. So, look where we are today! I knew that’s what would happen. Now it’s accepted and it’s International. F*** all those nay sayers in the beginning!” David ran the first Cosmetic Gynecology courses in history in Beverly Hills starting in 2000 and said this: “As you may or may not know I entered it as a business venture and first secured intellectual property with a patent attorney. I trained I’ve 436 surgeons in over 46 countries. I would train up to 10 at a time. I did world, European, and Asian, organized by the marking company. Get this we were able to charge $60k per doctor. Crazy money. But I liked

    Radiosurgery 101 for 2026

    I released this video on my Pay Only Labiaplasty Newsletter on September 10, 2025. I also released a prior version on July 2, 2025 called “Radiosurgery for the Cosmetic Gynecologist: A Bried Tour Through Time.” I want to share the new updated version to you, my Cosmetic Gynecology Newsletter members, to announce that Labiaplasty Newsletter will get a massive Face Lift and Content Upgrade and will now be called “Labiaplasty and Vaginoplasty Newsletter” starting January 2026. A perfect newsletter for the surgically inclined that now will include all surgical topics relating to Cosmetic Gynecology. A perfect kissing cousin for my Gynflix.com online e-Learning platform. More news coming. Stay tuned right here! Radiosurgery 101 for 2026: The Soniquence Difference One of the most frequent questions I get is “Dr. Alinsod how do you do your labiaplasty surgeries? Do you use lasers or radiofrequency, scissors or knives?” I have this discussion quite a bit with surgeons from around the world. I cover this on my practice website (www.alinsodinstitute.com) and have lots of photos and videos. I’ve never really covered it for the Lay Public so I created this video that shows what radio frequency can do for Cosmetic Gynecology and why I use it for the right person. I gear this for non-medical people who wondered how this surgery is done in my office, awake, with no IV, under local anesthesia. I first covered Radiosurgery 101 for the Cosmetic Surgeon on May 30, 2022. Go see that 15 min video if you have not already done so. An update and full length version on what radiosurgery can do for labiaplasties, botched surgeries, clitoral hood surgeries, anal skin tags was released on July 2, 2025 on my Cosmetic Gynecology Newsletter called Radiosurgery for the Cosmetic Gynecologist: A Brief Tour Through Time. Today’s newest video is an update with an extra section at the end that instroduces my just released Soniquence A1 Bipolar forceps. Enjoy the learning. Let me know what you think as a lay person seeing this. Does it help explain how labiaplasties are done with radio waves?
