Copper Peptide GHK-Cu Cream Improves Healing After Laser Skin Resurfacing in Humans
Topical GHK-Cu complex significantly improved healing after CO2 laser skin resurfacing in a double-blind RCT, reducing healing time and improving skin appearance — clinical evidence for copper peptide wound healing.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Topical copper tripeptide complex (GHK-Cu) significantly accelerated healing after CO2 laser resurfacing in a double-blind, vehicle-controlled RCT, with faster re-epithelialization and improved skin quality — clinical validation of GHK-Cu for post-procedure skin recovery.
