GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide known for regenerative effects on skin, hair, and connective tissue. It is used both topically and as an injectable.
Mechanism and fit.
GHK-Cu signals fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. It improves microcirculation in skin and scalp, calms inflammation, and supports wound healing. The result is firmer, smoother skin, healthier hair growth, and faster recovery from procedures like microneedling or laser.

What patients
most often ask.
Topical vs. injectable — which is better?
Topical GHK-Cu works directly on skin and scalp. Injectable provides systemic effects on connective tissue and cellular repair. Many patients combine the two depending on goals.
