The Science

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It plays a fundamental role in tissue remodeling and repair throughout your body.

Levels decline with age — by 60, your GHK-Cu levels are roughly 60% lower than at 20. This decline correlates with reduced skin quality, slower healing, and accelerated aging.

It's one of the most studied peptides for tissue remodeling, with over 60 published studies. GHK-Cu activates genes involved in collagen synthesis, stem cell activity, anti-inflammatory signaling, and antioxidant production.

It essentially tells your cells to behave younger — stimulating repair, remodeling, and regeneration at the genetic level.

Scottsdale patients will love this one — it addresses skin quality, hair health, and overall aesthetic aging from a biological level.

Benefits

What GHK-Cu can do for you.

Skin Rejuvenation

Stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves skin firmness, reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Visible improvements in skin quality and texture.

Hair Growth

Promotes hair follicle health and may help with thinning hair by increasing blood flow and growth factors to the scalp.

Wound Healing

Accelerates tissue repair and reduces scarring, studied extensively for post-surgical recovery. Supports your body's natural repair mechanisms.

Anti-Inflammatory

Powerful anti-inflammatory signaling that reduces chronic inflammation at the cellular level. Supports systemic recovery and tissue health.

Antioxidant Support

Upregulates your body's natural antioxidant systems (superoxide dismutase, glutathione). Protects cells from oxidative damage and supports longevity.

Protocol

How GHK-Cu therapy works.

Administration: Subcutaneous injection, typically 2-3 times per week. Can also be used topically for targeted skin applications.
Systemic vs. topical: Injectable form provides systemic benefits — skin, hair, joints, and tissue repair throughout the body. Topical application targets specific areas but cannot achieve the same systemic remodeling.
Timeline: Most patients commit to a minimum 3-month protocol. Skin improvements are typically noticed within 4-6 weeks, with full benefits developing over 3-6 months.
Comparison

GHK-Cu vs. PRP vs. Topical Copper Peptides

GHK-Cu injections: Systemic benefits throughout the body. Affects skin, hair, and tissue repair from the inside out. Convenient subcutaneous self-injection at home.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Localized treatment that requires a blood draw and centrifuge. More procedure-intensive and typically done in-office. Effective but limited to the treatment area.

Topical copper peptides (serums/creams): Surface-level only. Cannot achieve systemic tissue remodeling. Good as a complement but not a replacement for injectable GHK-Cu.

Many patients combine approaches for comprehensive results. Your provider will recommend the best strategy for your goals.

FAQ

Common questions about GHK-Cu.

Yes. GHK-Cu is available now at Voxy, prescribed by licensed telehealth providers in Arizona. Book a free consultation to get started.

PRP is a localized treatment that requires a blood draw. GHK-Cu is a systemic peptide that supports tissue remodeling throughout your body — skin, hair, joints, and more. They can be complementary.

Skin texture improvements are typically noticed within 4-6 weeks. Hair changes take longer — usually 3-6 months of consistent use. Full tissue remodeling benefits develop over 3-6 months.

GHK-Cu is naturally occurring in the body and generally well-tolerated. Mild injection site reactions are possible. Your provider will review your full health history.

Absolutely. GHK-Cu pairs especially well with GH peptides (sermorelin, tesamorelin) for comprehensive anti-aging, or with NAD+ for cellular repair and energy.
