Human Growth Hormone (HGH) injections are used to treat patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). HGH injections work by increasing the level of HGH in the blood of patients suffering from growth hormone deficiencies.
HGH injections are prescribed on a very individualized basis. There can be some variation in the dosages of HGH injections prescribed. However, no matter the dosage, the procedure for giving yourself HGH injections is basically the same.
All growth hormone injections are some form of the prescription drug somatotropin. HGH injections are given as a subcutaneous injection, which means that it goes into the fatty tissue just beneath the surface of the skin. The belly or thigh are the most common injection sites.
Once HGH is injected into your body, it works by raising the level of growth hormone in your bloodstream.
Growth hormone injections work by increasing the level of accessible HGH in your blood.
Anyone who is currently taking HGH or maybe considering growth hormone injections needs to understand that it takes time for your body to adjust to the renewed presence of HGH.
Therefore, that means that it can take some time before you will see significant results from growth hormone injections.
While it could take several months until you achieve all of the many benefits from taking growth hormone, some results will be seen sooner than others.
In clinical studies, HGH has been shown to effectively treat Growth Hormone Deficiency. According to the Newsletter published by the Neuroendocrine Center of the Harvard Medical School, “recent studies indicate that many of the metabolic and psychological abnormalities associated with HGH deficiency can be reversed with HGH replacement.”
HGH naturally declines as you get older. It has long been thought that in addition to treating children with GHD, HGH replacement therapy could be an effective way to replace the growth hormone that diminishes as you age. Age-related growth hormone deficiency results in many of the same symptoms of clinical GHD, including:
In 1991, the New England Journal of Medicine published a groundbreaking study on the effects of growth hormone replacement therapy. Known as the “Rudman Study,” lead researcher Dr. Daniel Rudman concluded, "We reversed 10 to 20 years of the aging process. We saw fat diminished, muscle tissue increased, and better bone density."
Numerous studies have shown the many positive benefits of growth hormone. Growth hormone replacement therapy can:
You can expect to see many positive benefits from HGH injections. However, it takes time for you to see the results of HGH injections because it takes time for your body to acclimate or get used to the increased presence of growth hormone in your bloodstream.
If you follow your doctor’s advice and take your HGH injections as instructed, you will see results. However, you must understand that growth hormone injection therapy is designed to be cumulative over time. This is why a prescription for HGH injections is filled over the course of about six months.
You will start to feel some improvements in the very first weeks of therapy, and those improvements will continue to accumulate over the course of your growth hormone therapy.
The following chart illustrates a month-by-month breakdown of HGH injection results.
| MONTH | RESULTS OF HGH INJECTIONS |
| After One Month | Within the first few weeks of HGH injections, you will be sleeping better. You will see increases in your energy level and overall vitality. By the 3rd or 4th week, you will be thinking more clearly. |
| After Two Months | Your results of HGH injections after two months will include an overall leaner look, a reduction in body fat, and your skin and hair will take on a more youthful appearance. |
| After Three Months | Your results of HGH injections after 12-14 weeks will have you looking and feeling much better than when you began your therapy. You will be stronger, more flexible, you will feel less joint pain, and you should also see an improvement in libido and sexual performance. |
| After Four Months | After three months and into your 4th, the results of your HGH injections will include more fat loss, and your muscle gain will be very significant. This is the time of your peak results of HGH injections. |
| After Five Months | After month five, this is when most patients have their “before” and “after” pictures taken. Do not be surprised at what you looked like before you started HGH therapy. |
| After Six Months | Once you have completed six months of HGH injections, you will have achieved your maximum results. You will be a new person who can enjoy:

It takes time for your body to get used to the increased level of HGH. Therefore, it can take time before you see the results of HGH injections.
To ensure that you get the best results from your HGH injections, choose where you go to get your HGH prescription with caution. You want to work with a hormone replacement clinic like ours that specializes in age-related hormone decline. Then once you have done that, and after you have patiently waited for the time that it takes to achieve the many benefits of HGH, you may want to know how to maintain those results.
Our doctors have found that one of the surest ways to maintain your results and to keep your HGH levels high is through exercise — specifically rigorous or high-intensity exercise.
A 2003 study published in the journal Sports Medicine found that "exercise intensity above lactate threshold and for a minimum of 10 minutes appears to elicit the greatest stimulus to the secretion of HGH."
What that means is that high-intensity athletics stimulate the production of HGH, and that extra burst of growth hormone is exactly what helps to stimulate the production of more lean muscle, which is the usual result of weight training and other high-intensity workouts!
The good news is, now that you have achieved your goals of being fitter and stronger from your course of HGH therapy, you will be more inclined to work out and will reap more benefits from such workouts.
You may have to be patient to achieve all of the possible benefits of HGH replacement therapy, but once you have completed your six-month program and look in the mirror, you will agree that it was all well worth the wait!
