The science

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It binds copper ions and supports transport into tissues that require repair and remodeling.

GHK-Cu supports fibroblast activity, collagen and elastin synthesis, angiogenesis, antioxidant-defense mechanisms, wound-healing biology, and gene-expression regulation.

IPS uses GHK-Cu for skin quality, collagen remodeling, wound-healing support, hair/scalp support, tissue repair, and regenerative recovery protocols.

Ideal for

  • Patients whose goals match this protocol category
  • Recovery plans that require clinician review
  • Patients needing instructions, monitoring, and candidacy screening
  • Plans integrated with rehab, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle strategy

Available through IPS

Process

How this works at IPS.

01

Consultation

Review goals, symptoms, medical history, medications, and current care.

02

Candidacy Review

Review contraindications, route, tolerance considerations, and clinical fit.

Ongoing Care

Follow-ups evaluate tolerance, response, and next-step adjustments.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What makes GHK-Cu different?

It supports multiple tissue-repair pathways including collagen, elastin, antioxidant defense, and gene-expression regulation.

How is GHK-Cu administered?

It can be used topically or subcutaneously depending on goals and provider review.

Who is a good candidate?

Patients focused on collagen support, skin quality, tissue remodeling, wound-healing support, or hair/scalp goals.

Can it combine with other therapies?

Yes. It can pair with recovery peptides, skin-care strategies, microneedling, laser, SoftWave, nutrition, and post-procedure protocols.
