GHK-Cu

Peptide

Supports skin renewal, collagen production, and hair growth.

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide that declines with age and plays a key role in collagen and elastin production. It supports skin firmness, tone, wound healing, and healthy hair and scalp structure. It can be applied topically or injected subcutaneously as part of an individualized, physician-guided protocol.

Suggested use: Route (topical or subcutaneous injection), concentration, and dose are individualized, supervised by a physician, and cycled on and off.

GHK-CU

Skin Renewal & Collagen Support

WHAT IT IS:

A naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma that supports collagen production, hair growth, skin remodeling, and wound healing — and whose levels naturally decline with age, contributing to slower repair and visible aging.

WHY YOU NEED IT:

Supports Skin Quality from the Inside Out

Important for patients focused on skin firmness, tone, and a more youthful appearance

Supports patients seeking improved wound healing and tissue repair

Good for patients interested in collagen and elastin production

Great for patients pursuing hair and scalp support

Supports patients combining aesthetic and regenerative goals

Important for patients who want antioxidant and anti-inflammatory skin support

HOW IT HELPS:

Healthy, resilient skin and hair depend on the ongoing production of collagen and elastin and on the body's ability to repair daily wear. GHK-Cu is a peptide your body already uses for these tasks — but levels decline as you age.

A Copper-Carrying Repair Signal

GHK-Cu is a small peptide that binds copper, an essential cofactor for skin, hair, and tissue repair. Research links it to activating a wide range of genes involved in healing, stimulating collagen and elastin, supporting healthy skin remodeling, hair growth, and providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Aesthetic and Regenerative Roles

Because of these properties, GHK-Cu is a cornerstone of skin-focused protocols — valued for firmness, tone, and overall skin structure, as well as for wound healing and hair-and-scalp support. It is also the “skin” component in popular blends such as GLOW and KLOW.

What to Expect

GHK-Cu can be used topically (in creams and serums) or by subcutaneous injection, depending on the goal. It is generally reported to be well tolerated, with possible mild, transient irritation at the application or injection site.

While the foundational science of GHK-Cu is well characterized, much of the regenerative human evidence is still developing, so its use is best guided by a qualified clinician as part of a broader plan.

Who Should Not Use GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is not appropriate for patients with a known copper sensitivity or conditions affecting copper balance (such as Wilson's disease), women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or patients with a known hypersensitivity. Use only under physician supervision.

DOSAGE:

Titration: Route, concentration, and dose should be individualized and supervised by a physician and cycled on/off; reconstitute injectable product with bacteriostatic water using sterile technique.
