Peptide Therapy: The Anti-Aging Treatment That Has Jennifer Aniston Looking 30 at 55
“Two things are inevitable. The first, aging. The second, there’s always going to be critics.”
Those were the words of beloved actress Jennifer Aniston, who spoke to Glamour in September 2022 about the natural aging process and her approach to overcoming the critics who try to define beauty.
“We can still thrive when we’re older, and that’s thanks to all the advancements in health, nutrition, technology, and science,” she said of learning to do what’s best for her — both physically and mentally.
So, that brings us to the million dollar question — how does she do it?
After all, she turned 55 in 2024 — yet she doesn’t look a day over 30.
Luckily for you, we don’t need to speculate because the former “Friends” actress revealed one of her biggest secrets to her anti-aging skin care routine — and it’s a treatment she says she “swears by.”
If you guessed peptide therapy, then you’re absolutely correct!
The same peptide therapy that Joe Rogan takes at 57 years old.
In fact, Aniston described it as “the future” in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
If you’re wondering what peptide injections are, then don’t worry — you’re not alone. Peptide therapy has been one of the hottest topics in the anti-aging community ever since Aniston opened up about it in 2023.
We’ll explain everything you need to know about the procedure and all of its benefits below!
Peptides: The Building Blocks of Beauty & Youth
To understand peptide therapy, we must first understand what peptides are.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. You can think of them as "mini-proteins" that your body uses to send signals or build things like skin, muscles, and hormones.
FUN FACT: Proteins are strings of 50+ amino acids, while peptides contain less than 50 amino acids.
In the body, peptides act as messengers — signaling cells to perform specific tasks.
For example, some peptides stimulate collagen production, which is essential for maintaining firm, youthful skin. As we age, collagen levels naturally decline, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
By using skincare products with peptides, you can help boost collagen synthesis, improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and support the skin’s natural healing processes for long-term benefit.
But that’s just one of the many things peptides do for us.
Some peptides help enhance muscle growth and recovery by promoting protein synthesis, while others aid in regulating hormones, improving sleep and even boosting immunity. There’s a peptide for everyone!
The 8 Peptides You Won’t Want to Miss in 2025
There are dozens of different types of peptides — each with their own unique benefits.
Here at Nü Forma Wellness Lounge, we like to create a customized treatment plan for each individual patient to ensure their needs are met. And that could mean the use of one or several different peptides.
Let’s take a closer look at the seven types of peptides we offer at Nü Forma Wellness:
- CJC-1295 is a 30 amino acid peptide that acts as a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog — promoting muscle growth, strength, fat loss, tissue repair, cell regeneration and more.
- Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide (five amino acids) functioning as a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). It’s often taken with CJC-1295 due to its ability to trigger the release of growth hormone.
- Sermorelin is a 29 amino acid peptide that functions as a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog — offering a more modest increase in GH levels compared to other peptides.
- BPC-157, also known as Body Protection Compound-157, helps the body form new blood vessels, increases collagen production and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.
- TB-500 is a 43 amino acid peptide that mimics the effects of a naturally occurring peptide called Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4) — widely known for its regenerative and healing properties, like BPC-157.
- GHK-Cu is a tripeptide (composed of three amino acids) that can bind copper ions — making it beneficial for skin elasticity, wrinkles, skin firmness and smoothness, and stimulating hair growth.
- PT 141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a heptapeptide primarily known for its ability to increase sexual arousal and desire. Unlike traditional treatments, PT 141 directly alters brain activity.
