Is GHK-Cu the Secret to Ageless Skin and Hair?

By Cindy Lombard, WHNP-BC — Essential Woman LLC, Ocala, FL

If you’re looking for a way to tighten loose skin, smooth wrinkles, and restore a youthful glow, GHK-Cu injections and topical copper peptides may be the answer. At Essential Woman LLC in Ocala, FL, Cindy Lombard, WHNP-BC, educates women.

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a small peptide naturally present in the body. In youth, it plays a crucial role in skin repair, collagen production, and anti-inflammatory processes. As we age, natural GHK-Cu levels decline, contributing to fine lines, sagging skin, and thinning hair.

How GHK-Cu Supports Ageless Skin

Research suggests that GHK-Cu may:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin for firmer skin

• Improve skin texture and tone

• Reduce visible wrinkles

• Speed up skin healing after procedures

• Protect against free radical damage

Injections vs. Topical Application

1. GHK-Cu Injections

• Method: Tiny microinjections just under the skin in targeted areas

• Best for: Belly skin tightening, post-pregnancy skin, face, and neck rejuvenation

• Advantage: Direct delivery into the dermis for localized results

2. GHK-Cu Topical Serums

• Method: Applied directly to the skin, often after microneedling

• Best for: Overall skin health and maintenance between treatments

• Advantage: Enhances skin repair and works well for both face and scalp
