Copper Peptide Hair Serum

PLU Laboratories sells cosmetic products, not FDA-approved drugs, so we cannot make claims about treating hair loss or regrowing hair. However, the NIH research describes GHK-Cu as a copper tripeptide-1 studied for its role in tissue processes and collagen production pathways. Clinical research on Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 examined hair follicle activity appearance. Our Hair Tonic uses these peptide concentrations for cosmetic use to support the appearance of hair density and scalp health.

If you've had a hair transplant or any medical procedure, consult your surgeon or dermatologist before using any topical products on the treated area. The NIH research describes copper peptides as compounds studied in tissue remodeling processes, but only your medical provider can determine when it's safe to apply topical serums to surgically treated scalp areas. Our Hair Tonic is a cosmetic product designed to support scalp appearance, not a post-surgical treatment.

Hair mesotherapy is a medical procedure involving injections administered by licensed professionals. Our Hair Tonic is a topical cosmetic serum you apply at home to support the appearance of hair density and scalp health. The NIH research on GHK-Cu examined topical applications of copper peptides in clinical studies. If you're considering mesotherapy or other medical treatments for hair concerns, consult with a dermatologist or trichologist about appropriate options.

DHT blockers work through hormonal pathways by blocking dihydrotestosterone activity. Copper peptides like GHK-Cu work through entirely different amino acid signaling mechanisms studied in research on tissue processes and collagen production. The NIH describes copper tripeptide-1 as a compound that has been examined in tissue remodeling research, not hormonal blocking. Our Hair Tonic focuses exclusively on peptide technology rather than hormonal intervention, allowing these amino acid complexes to work through the pathways studied in published literature.

Yes, but apply them separately. The research on copper peptides examined GHK-Cu and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 as focused peptide complexes, not mixed with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C in the same formulation. Apply our Hair Tonic to clean scalp first, then layer other products if desired. This maintains the peptide concentrations studied in research while allowing you to use additional actives in your hair care routine.

The NIH research on copper peptides and clinical studies on hair follicle appearance noted visible improvements within study timeframes. Most users of our Hair Tonic report visible improvements in hair density appearance and scalp health within 6-12 weeks of consistent daily use. The dual-peptide system (GHK-Cu + Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3) works gradually to support hair follicle appearance. Apply 2-3 drops to clean scalp once daily for optimal results.

The NIH literature describes copper peptides as compounds studied in tissue processes that may involve circulation-related pathways. However, as a cosmetic product, our Hair Tonic is designed to support the appearance of scalp health rather than make medical claims about improving circulation. Research on copper tripeptide-1 examined tissue remodeling processes, and healthy scalp appearance creates an optimal environment for hair follicle vitality. Apply consistently to clean scalp for best appearance results.

Absolutely. Our Hair Tonic with GHK-Cu and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 can be used alongside our Face Tonic containing GHK-Cu and Matrixyl 3000 peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7). This creates a comprehensive peptide routine supporting both hair and skin appearance. Apply Hair Tonic to scalp and Face Tonic to facial skin, each taking under 30 seconds daily. Learn more about combining peptide complexes in our Matrixyl 3000 collection.

Our Hair Tonic focuses on peptide delivery without common irritants like DHT blockers or high concentrations of alcohol. The dual-peptide system (GHK-Cu + Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3) is designed to be compatible with various scalp types. However, if you have a sensitive scalp or known sensitivities, perform a patch test before full application. Apply a small amount to a discrete scalp area and wait 24 hours. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) consists of three specific amino acids: glycine, histidine, and lysine, bound to copper. The NIH research describes this specific amino acid sequence as a naturally occurring copper peptide studied for tissue processes. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 is another amino acid complex studied in research on hair follicle activity. Our Hair Tonic combines both peptide complexes to deliver these specific amino acid sequences studied in published literature on scalp health and hair appearance.
