Prescribed After a Consult

Every peptide plan at Saving Face starts with a consultation with our nurse practitioner, who reviews your health history, goals, medications and any lab work, then decides whether KPV is appropriate for you. If it is not, we will talk through other options.

What Is KPV?

KPV is a lab-made peptide made of three amino acids (lysine, proline and valine). It comes from the end of alpha-MSH, a hormone involved in the body's inflammatory response. Most research on it so far has been in the lab and in animals.

What to Know About KPV

  • KPV is not FDA-approved. It is prescribed off-label, only after a consult with our nurse practitioner, when appropriate.
  • Your provider will explain how it is taken, what to expect and possible side effects before you start.
  • Research is still emerging, and results vary from person to person.
