Sleep

Poor sleep quality is one of the most pervasive and consequential health issues adults face, and one of the most physiologically rooted. Insufficient or non-restorative sleep accelerates cognitive decline, disrupts hormonal balance, impairs fat metabolism, and compromises recovery from virtually everything. Most patients are surprised to learn that declining sleep quality is often rooted in declining growth hormone production. At SkinMD in Greater Boston, we address sleep as a medical issue, not just a lifestyle one.

What Causes Sleep?

Growth hormone is primarily secreted during deep, slow-wave sleep, and GH itself is part of the mechanism that drives deep sleep architecture. As GH production declines with age, sleep becomes shallower, more fragmented, and less restorative. This creates a compounding cycle: less GH leads to shallower sleep, which leads to even less GH secretion. Cortisol elevation, B12 deficiency, and metabolic imbalances further disrupt sleep quality.

How Peptide Therapy Can Help

Sermorelin is administered at bedtime to amplify the natural pulsatile release of growth hormone during deep sleep. As GH levels rise, sleep architecture improves. Patients consistently report falling asleep faster, sleeping deeper, and waking more refreshed. Many SkinMD patients rate improved sleep as the first and most impactful change they notice on this protocol. NAD+ supports the broader cellular environment for sleep regulation and recovery.

Signs You May Be Experiencing This

• Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
• Waking frequently during the night
• Non-restorative sleep, waking tired despite adequate hours in bed
• Reduced dream recall, associated with reduced REM sleep
• Daytime fatigue, irritability, or brain fog linked to poor sleep
• Sleep quality that has declined progressively over the past several years

MEET THE TEAM

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions. They made sure I was fully educated on the services I received and perform check-ins to ensure my skin heals properly. Also, the most convenient location in Back Bay!

~ Jules B.

I cannot say enough great things about this SkinMD. The staff was amazing, and their services are amazing. I am so, so happy with how my nose came out, and I am now a lifetime customer of SkinMD and will be recommending SkinMD to everyone I know.
