Peptide Therapy Johannesburg
Therapeutic peptide protocols
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in the body. Different peptides trigger different biological responses — supporting growth hormone release, tissue repair, immune function, metabolic health, and healthy ageing. At The T Clinic in Bryanston, Johannesburg, peptide therapy is one of our most requested treatments.
Every protocol is individually prescribed by Dr Heyns, medically supervised, and sourced exclusively from SAHPRA-approved compounding pharmacies. This is regulated, responsible, results-driven medicine — not off-the-shelf supplementation.
Prescribed & medically supervised
All peptide protocols at The T Clinic are individually prescribed by Dr Heyns, medically supervised, and sourced from SAHPRA-approved compounding pharmacies. Specific peptide selection is discussed during your private consultation, not advertised publicly.
Therapeutic Categories
What peptide therapy can support
Peptides work through different biological pathways. The category that suits you depends on what you're trying to achieve — Dr Heyns determines the right protocol at consultation.
Growth Hormone Support
Peptides that support the body's own growth hormone release for body composition, recovery, sleep quality and skin health.
Tissue Repair & Healing
Protocols that support tissue regeneration — useful for sports injuries, joint recovery, gut healing and post-surgical repair.
Immune Modulation
Peptides used clinically worldwide for immune support, chronic infection management and overall resilience.
Skin & Collagen
Compounds that support collagen production, wound healing and skin quality through gene-level activation.
Metabolic & Sexual Health
Support for fat metabolism, insulin sensitivity, libido and arousal — through the body's own regulatory pathways.
Longevity & Cellular Health
Compounds researched for telomere protection and cellular health support — the longevity end of the spectrum.
Prescribed & Supervised
Always medical. Never off-the-shelf.

Your Treatment
How peptide therapy works
Consultation & Assessment
Your peptide programme begins with a comprehensive consultation including detailed blood work. Dr Heyns assesses your health status, goals and medical history to determine which protocol will be most effective for you.
Personalised Protocol
Based on your results, a tailored protocol is prescribed with specific dosages, timing and duration. Clear instructions are provided for self-administration — typically a simple subcutaneous injection.
Treatment Phase
Most protocols run for 8–12 weeks. Peptides are typically administered daily or several times per week depending on the specific compound. The process is straightforward and easily integrated into routine.
Monitoring & Optimisation
Follow-up blood work ensures the protocol is working as intended. Dosages and combinations are adjusted based on your response and laboratory results.
Common Questions
Peptide therapy — frequently asked
What is peptide therapy?

At The T Clinic in Bryanston, every protocol is individually prescribed, medically supervised, and sourced from SAHPRA-approved compounding pharmacies.
Is peptide therapy legal in South Africa?
Yes. When peptides are prescribed by a registered medical doctor and sourced from a SAHPRA-approved compounding pharmacy, peptide therapy is legal and regulated in South Africa. We do not use generic, unregulated, or internet-sourced products.
How much does peptide therapy cost?
Cost depends on your individual protocol, tailored to your goals following consultation and bloodwork. Because every plan is personalised, pricing is discussed during your consultation. Contact The T Clinic in Bryanston to book an assessment.
How are peptides administered?
Most are administered via a simple subcutaneous injection using a very fine insulin needle. Dr Heyns and the team provide thorough training so you can self-administer comfortably at home. Some peptides are available in oral or topical forms.
How quickly will I see results?
This varies by peptide and goal. Some effects can be noticed within the first week. Tissue healing protocols typically show improvement within 2–4 weeks. Full anti-ageing and body composition benefits develop over 8–12 weeks.
Are peptides safe?
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified doctor, and sourced from SAHPRA-approved compounding pharmacies, peptide therapy has a strong safety profile. Peptides work with your body's own systems rather than against them.
