Understanding GHK-CU & Peptide Therapy
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It plays an important role in skin repair, tissue regeneration, and overall cellular health. As we age, natural levels of GHK-Cu decline, which can contribute to slower healing and visible signs of ageing.
In peptide therapy, GHK-Cu is used to support collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin firmness, texture, and elasticity. It is also widely recognised for supporting hair health and creating an environment that encourages healthier hair growth.
Under medical supervision, GHK-Cu is used as part of a personalised treatment plan to support skin rejuvenation, tissue repair, and healthy ageing in a controlled and safe way, tailored to individual goals and needs.
