Southlake & DFW Area

GHK-Cu (copper peptide) is a naturally occurring compound with remarkable regenerative properties for skin, hair, and tissue repair. At Medrein Health and Aesthetics in Southlake, TX, Dr. Haritha Mikkilineni (Dr. Mikki) incorporates GHK-Cu into comprehensive aesthetic and wellness protocols designed to restore youthful function at the cellular level.

What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine bound to Copper) is a tripeptide naturally found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It plays essential roles in wound healing, immune function, and tissue remodeling. Research has identified over 4,000 genes regulated by GHK-Cu, many involved in regeneration and repair.

Levels of GHK-Cu decline significantly with age—from about 200 ng/mL at age 20 to 80 ng/mL by age 60. This decline correlates with reduced healing capacity, decreased collagen production, and visible signs of aging. Supplementing GHK-Cu helps restore these regenerative pathways.

Skin Benefits of GHK-Cu

demonstrated benefits including stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis, improved skin firmness and elasticity, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, enhanced wound healing and skin barrier function, decreased hyperpigmentation and age spots, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

These properties make GHK-Cu an excellent addition to aesthetic treatment plans, either as standalone therapy or combined with procedures like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser treatments to enhance results and accelerate healing.

GHK-Cu for Hair Restoration

Beyond skin benefits, GHK-Cu shows promise for supporting hair health and growth. The peptide increases blood circulation to hair follicles, stimulates production of hair growth factors, may extend the growth (anagen) phase of hair follicles, and supports follicle health and function.

Dr. Mikki often incorporates GHK-Cu into hair restoration protocols alongside treatments like PRP/PRF therapy and medical-grade hair loss medications for comprehensive support.

How GHK-Cu Is Administered

GHK-Cu can be delivered through multiple routes depending on your treatment goals. Subcutaneous injections provide systemic benefits for overall regenerative support. Topical formulations can be applied directly to target areas. Combination with microneedling drives peptides deeper into skin for enhanced absorption. And mesotherapy techniques allow targeted delivery to specific areas.

During your consultation, Dr. Mikki will recommend the optimal delivery method based on whether you’re targeting skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, or systemic regenerative benefits.
