Feel better
from the
inside out.
Looking your best starts with feeling your best. Our medical wellness program combines prescription weight loss support, IV hydration, targeted peptide therapy, and vitamin injections — all prescribed and managed by Heather Mateja NP-C. This is medical-grade wellness, not a supplement aisle.
Category 01 — Weight Loss
Prescription weight loss
support — medically managed.
We offer prescription metabolic support medications in three formulations — each targeting appetite regulation, metabolic rate, and fat utilization through different receptor mechanisms. All require a consultation and are prescribed based on your individual health history and goals.
Metabolic support medications work by mimicking hormones naturally produced in the gut and pancreas that regulate hunger, fullness, and how your body processes food. When used correctly with medical supervision, they are among the most clinically effective tools available for sustained weight loss.
Our single-receptor metabolic support medication. Targets the GLP-1 receptor to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and support steady weight loss. A well-established starting point for most patients.
Dual-receptor formulation targeting both GLP-1 and GIP pathways simultaneously. Clinical studies show greater average weight loss compared to single-receptor agents. Our most requested option.
Triple-receptor formulation adding glucagon receptor activation to the dual-receptor approach. Glucagon increases energy expenditure and fat breakdown for patients who need additional metabolic support beyond appetite regulation alone.
Pair with Body Contouring
Metabolic medications address overall fat through appetite and metabolism. Physiq body contouring and Quantum RF target specific areas and skin tightening that medication alone won't reach. Together they're a powerful combination.

IV drips & hydration —
fast. direct. effective.
Oral supplements are processed through the digestive system — meaning absorption is incomplete and variable. IV delivery bypasses digestion entirely, delivering vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into the bloodstream at 100% bioavailability.
Pure IV saline hydration — the fastest way to restore hydration, improve energy, reduce headaches, and support recovery. Ideal before or after travel, strenuous activity, illness, or anytime you need a rapid reset.
Targeted IV infusion combining Zinc, high-dose Vitamin C, and Glutathione — three of the most clinically supported nutrients for immune function, antioxidant defense, and cellular health. Ideal during cold and flu season, before travel, or post-illness recovery.
Customize any IV drip with targeted add-ons based on your goals for that visit. Ask your provider which combination makes the most sense for you.
Category 03 — Peptide Therapy
Peptides — the most
precise tools in functional medicine.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins — that act as targeted signaling molecules in the body. Unlike broad supplements, each peptide has a specific job: stimulating growth hormone, modulating the immune response, accelerating tissue repair, or supporting metabolic function. They work with your body's existing systems rather than overriding them. Prescribed and dispensed in-office by Heather Mateja NP-C.
Essential coenzyme present in every cell — critical for energy production, DNA repair, and cellular metabolism. Levels decline with age and stress. Supports mitochondrial function, cognitive clarity, and metabolic health.
Stimulates the pituitary gland to naturally produce and release growth hormone — one of the safest approaches to restoring GH levels that decline with age. Supports lean muscle, fat reduction, sleep quality, and recovery.
A naturally occurring copper peptide with remarkable skin regeneration properties. Stimulates collagen and elastin production, activates wound healing, reduces inflammation, and supports hair follicle health. Used topically and systemically.
A curated peptide blend targeting skin luminosity, oxidative stress reduction, and overall radiance from within. Supports skin brightness, even tone, and the kind of healthy glow that starts at the cellular level — not the surface.
A powerful peptide combination named for accelerated healing and recovery — supporting tissue repair, joint health, inflammation reduction, and post-procedure recovery. Popular with active patients, those recovering from injury, or anyone post-surgery.
A synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring peptide tuftsin. Well-studied for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects without sedation or dependency. Supports mood stabilization, cognitive function, and stress resilience — without the side effects of conventional anxiolytics.
A modified fragment of human growth hormone specifically targeting fat metabolism. Stimulates lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibits lipogenesis (fat storage) without affecting blood sugar or IGF-1 levels. Pairs well with metabolic weight loss medications for enhanced fat targeting.
The body's primary antioxidant, produced naturally in every cell but depleted by age, stress, and toxin exposure. Supports liver detoxification pathways, immune function, and a brighter, more even complexion. Available as a standalone injection or IV add-on.
A stable peptide derived from a protective compound found naturally in gastric juice. Broadly studied for its regenerative effects on tendons, ligaments, muscle, and the gut lining, along with meaningful anti-inflammatory support.
Promotes cell migration to sites of injury, supporting flexibility, reduced inflammation, and tissue repair. Frequently paired with BPC-157 for a broader recovery effect — the combination behind our Wolverine Blend.
A synthetic tetrapeptide studied for its role in supporting telomerase activity and healthy circadian rhythm regulation. A favorite in longevity-focused protocols for cellular aging support and more regulated sleep cycles.
A combination of a selective ghrelin-receptor agonist (Ipamorelin) and a GHRH analogue (CJC-1295) that work together to support a steady, natural pulse of growth hormone release — with minimal impact on appetite or cortisol.
A mitochondrial-encoded peptide studied for its role in metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity, and exercise performance — supporting cellular energy production at a foundational level.
Acts on melanocortin receptors in the brain — rather than the vascular system — to support libido and sexual arousal in both men and women. A central-acting option for patients who haven't found relief elsewhere.
Peptide pricing is individualized — because your protocol should be too.
Dose, frequency, and delivery method vary based on your goals, body weight, and clinical picture. Pricing is determined at your consultation after we discuss what's right for you. There's no one-size-fits-all protocol here — and we wouldn't pretend there is.
Peptide Therapy Quiz — Scarborough, Maine
Which peptide therapy is
right for you? Take the quiz.
Our free peptide therapy symptom checklist helps you explore which peptides — including Sermorelin, NAD+, Ipamorelin/CJC-1295, BPC-157, GHK-Cu, and more — align with your goals for sleep, recovery, body composition, skin, and longevity. Select anything that applies to you and answer the health history questions below. We'll surface which peptides are worth discussing at your consultation, and flag anything that needs provider review first.
Looking for a peptide therapy symptom checker near you? This free quiz is a starting point for conversation, not a diagnosis. Final peptide selection is always made by Heather Mateja, NP-C, after a full consultation and health history review at Atlantic Aesthetics Maine.

Category 04 — Wellness Injections
In-office injections —
quick, targeted, effective.
These in-office vitamin and metabolic injections are ideal add-ons to any visit or standalone appointments for maintenance and ongoing support. No IV, no downtime — most take under 5 minutes.
Methylcobalamin B12 injection bypasses gut absorption for immediate bioavailability. Supports red blood cell production, energy metabolism, neurological function, and mood. Ideal for patients who are deficient, vegetarian/vegan, on metformin, or experiencing fatigue and brain fog.
A targeted intramuscular injection combining immune-supporting vitamins and minerals to quickly reinforce your body's defense systems. Ideal at the start of illness, during high-stress periods, or as routine seasonal maintenance.
Lipotropic injection containing a combination of amino acids and B vitamins (commonly MIC + B12) that support fat metabolism, liver function, and energy production. Often used alongside metabolic weight loss medications to enhance fat breakdown and support liver health during the weight loss process.

Your consultation is always complimentary and without obligation. We're happy to answer anything not covered here.
Book Free ConsultThe medications we offer work through the same receptor mechanisms as widely advertised brand-name weight loss medications. The difference is that we offer compounded versions through licensed compounding pharmacies — which means they are prescribed and managed medically, often more accessible in dosing flexibility, and provided at a significantly lower cost than branded alternatives. All medications are FDA-regulated pharmaceutical compounds prescribed by a licensed provider.
Results vary significantly based on your starting weight, metabolism, adherence, lifestyle factors, and which medication is right for you. Clinical studies show average losses of 10–20%+ of body weight over 12–18 months with consistent use and appropriate dosing. We will give you an honest, personalized expectation at your consultation — not a generic promise.
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, mild bloating, constipation, and reduced appetite — particularly during the first few weeks and after dose increases. These typically improve as your body adjusts. Starting at a low dose and increasing gradually minimizes side effects significantly. We will walk you through what to expect at your consultation and are available for questions throughout your treatment.
Yes — and the combination is often complementary. Sermorelin supports lean muscle preservation and recovery during weight loss, which is important since metabolic medications can cause some muscle loss alongside fat loss. NAD+ supports cellular energy and metabolic function. We will review your complete picture at consultation and recommend combinations that make clinical sense for your individual goals.
Each peptide has a specific mechanism and target. Sermorelin stimulates growth hormone for body composition, sleep, and recovery. NAD+ supports cellular energy and cognitive function. GHK-Cu targets skin regeneration and collagen. GLOW supports radiance and antioxidant defense. The Wolverine Blend is built for tissue repair and recovery. Selank addresses anxiety and mood without sedation. AOD-9604 specifically targets fat metabolism and pairs well with our weight loss medications. Most patients start with one or two and expand based on response. Your provider will help you identify the best starting point at your consultation.
No. Most of our wellness injection protocols are designed for home administration. After your initial in-office visit we provide training, supplies, and take-home medication so you can self-inject on your own schedule. Weight loss medications, Sermorelin, and NAD+ are all home injection protocols. B12, Glutathione, Immune Booster, and Lipo-Stat are available both in-office and as home protocols — ask at your consultation about pricing differences.
