Whether you run a primary care practice, medspa, wellness clinic, or hormone optimization practice, adding peptide therapy can create a powerful new revenue stream for you—and help your patients achieve real results in areas like weight loss, anti-aging, injury recovery, and hormone balance.
But simply stocking peptides isn’t enough. Success in this space requires the right compliance foundation, education strategy, and patient experience. Here’s how to get started and grow confidently.
1. Define Your Peptide Niche and Service Model
Start by deciding how peptide therapy will fit into your practice.
- Are you targeting:
- Weight loss patients (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide)?
- Hormone optimization clients?
- Aesthetic/anti-aging services?
- Men’s or women’s health?
- What delivery model works best for your practice?
- In-person consults and injections
- Virtual visits and mailed prescriptions
- Monthly programs or packages with bundled visits, labs, and peptides
Pro tip: Think deeply about your patient population - and how you’re going to reach and engage them. If you’re already practicing, consider asking your patients what types of services would be most useful for them.
Start with one or two high-demand peptides, such as semaglutide or BPC-157, and build from there rather than trying to do several at once. This will allow you to be more targeted in your outreach, messaging, and follow-up.
2. Build a Targeted Business Plan Around Peptide Therapy
Whether you’re just starting out your practice (if so - check our practice checklist here!) or already established and adding peptides as an add-on service, take the time to create a strategic business plan to make sure you’re set up for short-term and long-term success .
Your plan should address:
- Target patient profile and volume goals
- Who is your target audience? What defines them? Specific gender? Age range? Goals?
- What’s your marketing & education strategy? How many patients do you expect to see in your first month? First 3 and 6 months? How are you finding and growing your patient population?
- Pricing structure
- How will you charge patients?Pay-per-vial, a subscription model, or through packages?
- Provider or medical director involvement (if required)
- Do you need a medical director? What are your state requirements?
- Legal & compliance requirements in your state
- What legal and compliance requirements do you need in place to legally and successfully practice?
- Operational workflow – from consultation to follow-up
- How are you intaking patients? What forms and documents do you need? E.g., do you have lab requirements before your first consultation
- How does your patient workflow map with your pricing structure?
- Technology – how you’ll track orders, chart notes, labs, and inventory
- What systems are you putting in place to run and scale your practice? You’ll likely need an EMR, as well as pharmacy and lab integrations
Use your business plan to guide patient outreach, staffing, technology investments, and monthly revenue forecasts.
3. Ensure You’re Set Up for Compliance
Peptides often require a licensed provider to prescribe, and patient care workflows must be protected by HIPAA-compliant systems.
Checklist:
- Are you sourcing from a licensed compounding pharmacy?
- Do you have a licensed prescriber or medical director in place?
- Are your consults fully documented with vitals, and prescriptions tracked?
- If you maintain your own inventory, are you tracking lot numbers and expiration dates?
- Is your EHR and communication platform HIPAA-compliant?
- Are you avoiding unverified claims on marketing materials?
Don’t skip this step. The right infrastructure protects your license—and your reputation.
4. Set Up Seamless Operations and Patient Workflows
As you get started, you’ll need to invest in that operational workflow to ensure a ou’ll need smooth process for:
- Booking appointments (in-person or virtual)
- Collecting intake forms and consents
- Charting consults and prescription decisions
- Placing orders with your pharmacy
- Following up for reorders and renewals
- Collecting payment – one-time, bundled, or recurring
5. Train Your Team
Even if your team isn’t seeing patients, they play a key role in patient education and confidence.
Make sure your front desk, providers, and medical assistants can explain:
- What peptides are and what they do
- How your program works (cost, process, timeline)
- Common patient questions and concerns
- How to schedule and follow up
Create scripts, FAQs, and internal protocols so everyone delivers a consistent, compliant message.
6. Market Your Peptide Services the Right Way
As you get started, you want to be thoughtful about how you talk about your new business line.
Success depends on education-first marketing. Most patients don’t know what peptides are—but they want results like:
- Sustainable weight loss
- More energy
- Fewer injuries
- Improved aging
Use these channels:
- Website built for conversions
- Your website should include:
- Overview of your services with pricing
- Social proof - reviews gathered from patients and displayed prominently on your site
- Hours of operation (if you have a physical location)
- Scheduling link
- Bio about your business with a mission statement
- Your website should include:
- Email campaigns to your existing patient base
- Instagram/TikTok reels breaking down how peptides work
- Webinars or workshops on “The Weight Loss Protocol You Haven’t Tried Yet”
- Utilize SEO and PPC targeting peptide research or wellness keywords, target local keywords, ie “Hormone OptimizationPeptide Therapy in Denver”
- In-office signage and provider scripts to promote during appointments
Highlight safety, simplicity, and results. Testimonials, before-and-after photos, and practitioner videos go a long way. Here’s a great example of a website built for conversions.
Optimizing your online presence helps new patients find your practice while strengthening relationships with existing ones. Here's a resource to list your business online.
7. Monitor Performance and Optimize
Once your peptide program is live, keep refining it:
- Track bookings, conversion rates, and revenue per patient
- Follow up after consults to close sales
- Survey patients to understand results and satisfaction
- Introduce bundles or memberships to improve retention
- A/B test different marketing messages and images
- Review pharmacy turnaround times and fulfillment consistency
Set up dashboards in your practice management system to view these metrics weekly.
