GHK-Cu Scalp Solution (60 mL)

GHK-Cu Scalp Solution is a topical treatment designed to promote hair growth, scalp health, and follicle regeneration This solution is commonly used by individuals experiencing hair thinning, shedding, or early-stage hair loss.

GHK-Cu works on the scalp and hair follicles through several well-documented biological actions:
Stimulates Hair Growth
⦁ GHK-Cu increases the expression of genes associated with hair growth and follicle health.
⦁ Encourages the transition of follicles from the resting phase (telogen) to the active growth phase (anagen)
Promotes Angiogenesis
⦁ Enhances blood flow to the scalp by supporting the formation of new capillaries, delivering oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
⦁ Reduces inflammation in the scalp, which is often associated with hair loss conditions like alopecia and folliculitis.
Antioxidant Protection
⦁ Neutralizes free radicals that contribute to oxidative stress and follicular aging.
Boosts Collagen & ECM (Extracellular Matrix)
⦁ Encourages production of collagen and glycosaminoglycans around the hair follicles, improving scalp structure and follicle anchoring.

Contraindications:
⦁ Known allergy to copper peptides or any ingredients in the formulation.
⦁ Damaged or infected scalp: Avoid use on open wounds, inflamed skin, or active infections.
Precautions:
⦁ Sensitive Skin: Patch test recommended before full use to check for irritation.
⦁ Concurrent Topical Treatments: Be cautious when using with other active ingredients (like minoxidil, retinoids, or steroids), as it may increase irritation.
⦁ Consistency: Results may take weeks to months; regular application is key.

GHK-Cu Scalp Solution has minimal systemic absorption, so drug interactions are rare. However:
⦁ Other Hair Growth Agents (e.g., Minoxidil):
⦁ May be used together, but not simultaneously. Apply at different times (e.g., GHK-Cu in the morning, minoxidil at night) to avoid ingredient interference.
Exfoliating or Irritating Products:
⦁ Using products with strong acids (AHAs/BHAs) or alcohol-based formulations on the scalp may increase sensitivity or reduce GHK-Cu effectiveness.
Metal Ions and Chelators:
⦁ Avoid use with products that contain strong metal chelators (like EDTA), as they may bind copper and reduce activity.

Mild and Common:
⦁ Itching or tingling at application site
⦁ Mild redness or irritation
⦁ Dryness or flakiness on the scalp
Less Common:
⦁ Temporary increase in hair shedding (shedding phase before regrowth)
⦁ Sensitivity when used with other actives
⦁ Contact dermatitis (rare)
Rare but Possible:
⦁ Allergic reaction (rash, swelling, burning sensation)
⦁ If any severe reactions occur, discontinue use and consult a medical professional.

Pregnancy: There is limited safety data on topical GHK-Cu use during pregnancy. While it is a naturally occurring peptide in the body, its effects on a developing fetus are unknown.
Breastfeeding: Since systemic absorption is minimal, topical use on the scalp is unlikely to affect breast milk, but caution is advised. Avoid applying near the breast area
