What Drives Peptide Therapy Pricing? How the Costs Work
By Charles Kamen, MD, board-certified neurologist
Peptide therapy pricing in Las Vegas is built from four moving parts — the quality of the medical evaluation, how the peptides are sourced, how complex the protocol is, and ongoing physician supervision — not a single sticker price. At LiveNow Longevity the initial medical evaluation is $88, applied to your protocol if you continue care.
Most pricing pages give you a number. This one explains what actually drives that number, so you can tell a fair, transparent quote from an inflated one. Understanding the drivers is more useful than a headline price, and it is the honest way a physician-led clinic answers the question. If you just want the current figures, see current pricing. Individual protocols and results vary.
The 4 things that determine peptide therapy cost
Four factors set peptide therapy cost: the quality of the medical evaluation, where the peptides are sourced, how complex your protocol is, and whether ongoing physician supervision is included. The cheapest option usually strips out the parts — evaluation, licensed sourcing, and monitoring — that make the therapy safe and effective.
- Evaluation quality — A real medical evaluation by a board-certified physician costs more than a telehealth intake form, but it is the most important step for safety and outcomes.
- Peptide sourcing — Peptides from licensed US 503A/503B compounding pharmacies with third-party testing cost more than gray-market imports, and the difference in purity and safety is real.[1]
- Protocol complexity — A single-peptide protocol costs less than a multi-peptide plan that layers in NAD+, hormone optimization, or IV therapy.
- Supervision — Ongoing physician supervision, not a subscription auto-shipped to your door, is built into physician-led care.[2]
What a physician-led Las Vegas peptide clinic charges
At LiveNow Longevity, the initial medical evaluation is $88 and is applied to your protocol if you continue care. It is the most accurate way to learn what your peptide therapy will actually involve, because every plan is built around your medical findings — not a preset menu.
After the evaluation, ongoing care is billed as a physician-management membership, and your exact rate depends on your individualized protocol, reviewed with you in person — see how our pricing works. What we do not publish is a flat per-protocol price menu, because we do not sell pre-built protocols: medications and peptides are billed separately at pass-through cost from the licensed compounding pharmacy, and the right protocol depends on your labs and history. Our Las Vegas peptide clinic page has the location, hours, and a $88 evaluation booking link.
What does the $88 evaluation include?
The $88 initial evaluation is a real medical visit with a board-certified physician, not a telehealth intake form. Dr. Charles Kamen, MD reviews your history, goals, and relevant findings to determine whether peptide therapy is appropriate and, if so, which protocol fits — and the $88 is applied to your protocol if you continue care.
Because the plan is built around your medical findings rather than a preset menu, the evaluation is the single most accurate way to learn what your care will actually cost and involve. It is also where sourcing, supervision, and any additional therapies such as NAD+ or hormone optimization are weighed against your goals — whether that is fat loss, more muscle, better recovery, or steadier energy.
Cost vs value: what to watch for
The cheapest peptide therapy is rarely the best value. Online stores that ship peptides without a medical evaluation are not peptide therapy — they are peptide sales, and the cost of a single complication from a poorly chosen protocol is far higher than the cost of a physician evaluation.
At our Henderson peptide clinic and our Las Vegas peptide clinic, every protocol is designed, prescribed, and monitored by Dr. Charles Kamen, MD — a board-certified neurologist.[2] As a neurologist, Dr. Kamen pays particular attention to peptides that touch sleep, energy, cognition, and recovery, where dose and sourcing quality change the result. The price reflects the medical quality, the sourcing, and the supervision — the things that turn a peptide into a therapy.
Insurance, HSA, and payment options
LiveNow Longevity does not bill insurance directly for peptide or longevity services, so the $88 medical evaluation and protocol costs are paid out of pocket. This direct-pay model is common in physician-led longevity medicine and keeps care decisions between you and your doctor rather than an insurer.[3]
Many patients use HSA or FSA accounts for both the evaluation and protocol costs, and superbills can be provided on request for possible reimbursement. See our Payments & Billing page for details.

Common Questions
How much does peptide therapy cost in Las Vegas on average?
There is no single average, because cost depends on your protocol. The medical evaluation at our clinic is $88, and protocol costs vary by peptide selection, sourcing, and supervision. The evaluation is the most accurate way to learn what your specific care will involve, since every plan is individualized.
Is peptide therapy cheaper in Henderson than Las Vegas?
No — pricing is identical because our <a href="/peptide-clinic-henderson">Henderson peptide clinic</a> and <a href="/peptide-clinic-las-vegas">Las Vegas peptide clinic</a> are the same practice, in the same physical location, with the same physician. Henderson patients come to the Eastern Avenue clinic for the same $88 evaluation and the same individualized protocols.
Do you offer payment plans for peptide therapy?
We do not advertise fixed payment plans because every protocol is individualized and priced around your medical findings. The best next step is to schedule your $88 evaluation; once your plan is defined, Dr. Kamen can discuss the options that fit your specific protocol and goals.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Many patients use HSA or FSA accounts for both the $88 evaluation and protocol costs. Because we do not bill insurance directly, superbills can be provided on request for possible reimbursement. See our <a href="/payments">Payments & Billing page</a> for accepted payment methods.
Do weight-loss or muscle peptides cost more than others?
Cost depends on the specific peptides and how complex your protocol is, not the goal itself. Whether your focus is fat loss, more muscle, better recovery, or energy, Dr. Kamen selects the appropriate peptides during your $88 evaluation and bills them at pass-through cost from the licensed compounding pharmacy.
Are cheaper peptides sold online the same as physician-prescribed ones?
Usually not. Products shipped without a medical evaluation are peptide sales, not peptide therapy, and gray-market sourcing carries real purity and safety risks. Physician-led clinics use licensed US 503A/503B compounding pharmacies with third-party testing, which costs more but is why the medication can be trusted and monitored.
The honest answer to how much peptide therapy costs in Las Vegas is that it depends — on your body, your goals, and the medical quality of the clinic you choose. The fastest way to find out what your care will actually involve is the $88 medical evaluation. Schedule at our Las Vegas peptide clinic or our Henderson peptide clinic page.
