About GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is a copper peptide that is present in human plasma. In the blood, it helps to stimulate healing, but its applications do not stop there. It can also boost skin health, repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery. It also serves as a growth-factor-like molecule because it influences the expression of thousands of genes in the body, which may help support cellular regeneration and skin remodeling. (1)

Natural GHK-Cu levels in the body tend to drop significantly by age 60. (2)

Benefits

GHK-Cu is a powerful regenerative agent that offers many benefits, including:

  • Improving skin quality
  • Accelerating healing
  • Reducing inflammation and free radical damage
  • Improved hair growth and thickness
  • Stimulating collagen and elastin production

Candidates

GHK-Cu is a peptide treatment often sought by adults who want to enhance their recovery after a procedure, improve hair quality, and provide general anti-aging support. To qualify for this peptide therapy, you must be in relatively good health, have realistic expectations for your treatment, and also be comfortable with the injection process. Dr. Rajguru will finalize your candidacy during your personal consultation.

Personal Consultation

During your personal consultation, Dr. Rajguru will examine your medical history, discuss your symptoms and concerns, evaluate your skin and hair health, and discuss your anti-aging and wellness goals. After obtaining the necessary information, he will create a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific objectives. He will provide step-by-step instructions for how to administer your peptides at home. He will also address any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment. His goal is to ensure you feel confident and fully informed before beginning your peptide treatment.

Preparation

To maximize the effectiveness of your peptide treatment, Dr. Rajguru may advise you to:

  • Avoid or reduce alcohol consumption before and throughout treatment
  • Cease nicotine use
  • Maintain a healthy and balanced diet
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements
  • Get adequate sleep
  • Improve hydration levels
  • Prepare to follow your dosage schedule

Procedure

You can self-administer GHK-Cu at home, making it a convenient addition to your routine. Dr. Rajguru or another Evolved Medical team member will educate you on safe injection practices in preparation for your treatment. You will take the GHK-Cu peptide via subcutaneous injections, and it is best to administer them in the evening as the body shifts into repair mode.

If you are not comfortable with self-injection, you are welcome to return to our office for each dose.

Results

You might benefit from increased hydration and reduced inflammation, smoother skin texture, tighter-looking skin, and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. Improvements like reduced skin laxity, decreased hyperpigmentation, and renewed hair growth may appear as well. GHK-Cu can potentially continue to increase collagen production and hair thickness, reduce inflammation, and improve skin density over time, contributing to long-term wellness.

Results may vary.

Corresponding Treatments

BPC-157 Peptide Therapy for Recovery and Gut Health

BPC-157 peptide therapy may protect the gastrointestinal lining, support gut health, and enhance recovery from physical injury and inflammation. This peptide may also stimulate collagen production, which is vital for repairing connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons. Pairing this peptide with GHK-Cu can potentially create a recovery blend for accelerated tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and anti-aging.

CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin for Growth Hormone Support

CJC-1295 is a growth hormone support therapy that addresses various hormonal concerns, such as sleep patterns and body fat distribution. Ipamorelin may support fat metabolism, muscle repair, and deep sleep. These two peptides can potentially work together to stimulate the pituitary gland to release natural growth hormone in a controlled and balanced manner. CJC-1295 enhances the natural rhythm of growth hormone pulses, while ipamorelin may trigger the release of growth hormones. Together, they might optimize hormone growth levels, boost repair, and improve skin and collagen density.

Cost of GHK-Cu Peptide Therapy in Walnut Creek
