Microneedling with GHK-Cu (Copper peptide)
What is Microneedling with GHK-Cu Copper Peptide?
Microneedling with GHK-Cu Copper Peptide is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines traditional microneedling with the powerful regenerative benefits of GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1).
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide found in the body that plays a key role in tissue repair, collagen production, and skin regeneration. As we age, its levels decline, contributing to visible signs of ageing such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
By combining microneedling with GHK-Cu, this treatment enhances skin healing, boosts collagen production, and delivers deeper, more effective rejuvenation.
How Does Microneedling with GHK-Cu Work?
This treatment works through a powerful two-step process:
1. Microneedling
A specialised device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and increasing collagen and elastin production.
2. GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Infusion
GHK-Cu is applied immediately after microneedling, allowing it to penetrate deeply through micro-channels created in the skin.
Once absorbed, GHK-Cu:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis
- Enhances wound healing and tissue repair
- Reduces inflammation and supports skin recovery
- Improves skin density and elasticity
Microneedling significantly improves the absorption of GHK-Cu, which otherwise struggles to penetrate intact skin effectively.
Key Benefits of Microneedling with GHK-Cu
- Boosts natural collagen and elastin production
- Accelerates skin repair and regeneration
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves acne scars and skin texture
- Enhances skin firmness and elasticity
- Brightens and revitalises dull skin
This treatment is ideal for those looking for next-level skin rejuvenation with faster healing and enhanced results.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Microneedling with GHK-Cu can be used on:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Body areas (scars, stretch marks, uneven texture)
It is particularly effective for improving overall skin quality and addressing multiple concerns at once.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment begins with a personalised consultation to assess your skin concerns and goals.
During the procedure:
- A numbing cream is applied for comfort
- A microneedling device creates micro-channels in the skin
- GHK-Cu copper peptide is applied for deep absorption
- Treatment typically takes 45–60 minutes
The procedure is well tolerated, with minimal discomfort.
