Treatment suitability and placement require qualified clinical assessment.
How It Works
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide that signals the skin to increase collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan production in laboratory and small topical studies. It also shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Evidence for injectable use in humans is limited.
