Growth Hormone Treatment
I Grow Clinic offers growth hormone treatment for children experiencing slow growth or short stature. Our expert team uses advanced diagnostics — including bone age assessment and comprehensive lab testing — to create personalized therapy plans. With a strong focus on safety and proven results, we help children reach their full growth potential.
How Growth Hormone Treatment Works
Growth hormone treatment is a medical therapy designed to help children with growth hormone deficiency or certain growth-related conditions achieve a healthier height. The treatment involves regular subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injections that is administered at home to stimulate growth and development while the growth plates are still open. Under the supervision of a medical specialist, the therapy is carefully monitored to ensure safety and maximize effectiveness — helping children reach their full height potential.
What To Expect During Your Consultation
Evaluation and Treatment Planning
- Your child’s care begins with a comprehensive evaluation — including medical history review, growth assessment, and physical exam.
- Diagnostic tests, such as bloodwork and bone age X-rays, help identify any underlying growth concerns.
- Our team reviews the results, discusses whether growth hormone therapy is appropriate, and answers all your questions.
- Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan — outlining dosage, monitoring, and safety guidelines to ensure effective care.
Treatment Initiation
- At this stage, your child begins growth hormone injections under the supervision of our medical team. We provide comprehensive training on how to administer the injections at home and share tips to make the process as comfortable as possible. A dedicated care team member is available to guide you every step of the way — offering support, answering questions, and ensuring you feel confident managing your child’s therapy between visits.
Ongoing Monitoring
- Regular check-ins are essential to track your child’s progress and optimize the treatment plan as needed. During each follow up, we monitor growth trends, review lab results, address any questions or concerns, and ensure the therapy remains safe and effective.

- Slower growth than expected, even with good health, nutrition, and normal activity levels
- Growth patterns below the expected range for their age group
- Early puberty or limited remaining growth time, with predicted adult height below expectations

Read more 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.
