GHK-Cu Skin Regeneration

Meaning

The process of dermal repair and rejuvenation stimulated by the topical application or systemic delivery of the copper-binding peptide Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine (GHK-Cu). This tripeptide complex is a naturally occurring human plasma component that declines with age. Its application promotes the remodeling of the extracellular matrix, enhancing the production of critical structural proteins like collagen and elastin, and improving overall skin elasticity and firmness. It is utilized in clinical cosmetology and wound healing to reverse photoaging and scarring.
