At I Grow Clinic, we help every child reach their
full growth potential through personalized care
Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) was FDA-approved in 1985 after extensive research confirmed its safety and benefits. For decades, growth hormone therapy has safely helped children reach their full growth potential. Studies and leading endocrine societies confirm no long-term side effects when treatment is properly prescribed and monitored.
Before treatment, each child receives a full medical evaluation to ensure safety and suitability.
Our evaluation includes:
Laboratory testing to review hormone and metabolic health
Growth-plate X-ray assessment to confirm bone maturity and suitability for treatment
Throughout treatment, our physicians provide:
Individualized treatment plans with carefully monitored dosing
Regular growth assessments to track progress
Follow-up care, which includes:
Regular blood tests to track hormone levels and response
X-rays to assess bone growth and maturity
Telehealth or in-person visits to review and adjust treatment
Every step of your child’s care at I Grow Clinic is guided by medical expertise, evidence-based practice, and
compassionate care, helping each child grow safely, confidently, and to their fullest potential.

I highly recommend I Grow Clinic if you are concerned about your child’s height. I have a daughter who was not short at all, but still attended an oriental clinic regularly for multiple reasons. One day, they tested her growth plate and told me her bone growth was not enough for her age. This could result in her being shorter than average later. ... I started searching for what this meant, and I found out that the age of bone was the key for growth and height. However, they didn’t tell me about the age. I googled and came across I Grow Clinic. Luckily, they provided the age of the bone growth and detailed treatments. My daughter received a growth treatment at I Grow Clinic with Dr. Sung. My whole family is satisfied with the result. She is 18 cm taller than her first visit during 21 months. Thank you Dr. Sung and I Grow Clinic staff.

My son has been having growth hormone treatment for 18 months, and his height has increased by 8.47 inches. His height percentile among children of the same age has improved from 58% to 93.7%. My son and I are very satisfied with the results and plan to continue this treatment for as long as possible. We are so thankful to Igrow Clinic.

The medication is self‑injected six times a week at nighttime, under the skin with a very thin needle. Families receive detailed education, video training, and in‑home nurse support when treatment begins.
The growth hormone treatment is known to be quite safe. Serious side effects are very rare in children without underlying diseases. Temporary pain and itching at the injection site may occur. During the initial stages of treatment, temporary flu-like symptoms, hypothyroidism, swelling, and headaches can also occur, although these are still rare. The dosage of medication may be adjusted with close monitoring to manage these side effects.
SCFE (Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis) is very rare but can occur in boys with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 29), particularly during periods of rapid growth. Additionally, if children already have scoliosis, the curvature may worsen during their rapid growth. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain an appropriate growth rate, avoid excessive weight gain, and closely follow up with the prescribing physician throughout growth hormone treatment.
Human growth hormone treatment is contraindicated in patients with active cancer, diabetes, thyroid disease, or sleep apnea due to morbid obesity.
Sleep, nutrition, and exercise all play important roles. Children benefit from 9–10 hours of sleep, balanced meals rich in protein and calcium, and daily physical activity such as running or jumping.
Costs depend on dosage, which is determined by weight, age, and growth plate status. Younger children often require lower doses. Health insurance typically does not cover hGH treatment when there are no medical diseases significantly affecting a child’s growth. The exact cost is determined after the initial consultation, based on your child’s growth plate exam and individualized treatment plan.
Eligibility is determined after the initial consultation. In insurance-covered cases, a diagnosed medical condition is usually required for approval. However, in self-pay cases, treatment is not limited to children with a medical disease. The key factor is whether the growth plates in the arms and legs remain open, showing sufficient growth potential. Through X-ray evaluation and consultation, our medical specialists determine who is most likely to respond effectively to growth hormone therapy.
Duration varies by child and depends on factors such as growth plate status, age, and stage of puberty. Progress is reviewed every six months to determine whether to continue treatment.
A monthly online check-in is required to review your child’s height and weight. Measurements should be taken accurately at home and reported to the clinic. Blood tests are performed every six months for ongoing monitoring, and hand X-rays to assess bone age are done every 6 to 12 months, depending on growth plate status.
Availability depends on your state of residence. We are actively expanding our telehealth services to additional states. Please contact us for details specific to your location.
Every child responds differently. Some show rapid improvement in growth velocity, while others progress more gradually. Our role is to monitor carefully and provide realistic guidance without promising specific outcomes.
Most children adapt quickly. The injections use very thin needles, and families receive training to make the process as comfortable as possible.
