GHK-Cu(Copper Peptide) Stimulates of Hair Growth


 
 The top photo is skin untreated with copper-peptides.

The bottom photo is skin treated with copper-peptides. with the following observation:
the larger hair follicles (the elongated purple columns)
the increased content of subcutaneous fat in the skin
the increased thickness of the skin.

Hair researchers have noted the accumulation of this fat around healthy follicles that are vigorously growing hair, and its relative lack around dormant follicles, have postulated that these cells serve a supportive function for the hair follicle.

The administration of copper-peptides increases hair follicle size and the rate of hair growth caused due to it's causing blood flow changes that provide adequate nutrients to the follicle, producing faster growing hair with thicker hair shafts. Copper ion complexed with certain peptides has both skin repair and hair growth enhancement effects.

1. Hair follicle before remodeling signaled by GHK-Cu(Copper Peptide).
2. The remodeling signal by GHK-Cu(Copper Peptide) increases the size of the hair follicles. 
3. The enlarged hair follicle begins to produce new skin cells that migrate into the surrounding skin and rebuild the skin after usw of GHK-Cu(Copper Peptide). 

GHK-Cu(Copper Peptide) induce a proliferation of hair follicles 

 The photograph on the top is a microscopic field of hair follicles treated only with saline.

The photograph on the bottom is a similar area of skin treated with copper-peptides and which has a much higher density of hair follicles.
