  • GHK-Cu dosage protocols vary significantly based on research application, administration route, and target tissue. Understanding these distinctions prevents protocol mismatches that compromise study outcomes.
  • Systemic Tissue Remodelling
  • 1–3mg per injection
  • Daily for 4–12 weeks
  • 2–5mg/mL
  • Loading phase: 4–6 weeks, Maintenance: ongoing at reduced frequency
  • Most common research protocol. Sustained daily presence required for collagen synthesis enhancement
  • Localised Intradermal (Facial)
  • 0.2–1mg per treatment area
  • 2–3 times weekly
  • 1–2mg/mL
  • Treatment cycles: 6–8 weeks with 4-week washout
  • Lower total peptide mass due to targeted placement. Higher local concentrations achieved
  • Wound Healing Models
  • 2–3mg per injection
  • Daily until wound closure + 7 days
  • 5mg/mL
  • Acute phase only. Typically 14–28 days
  • High-dose short-duration approach. Peptide presence during active healing phase critical
  • Hair Follicle Research
  • 0.5–1.5mg per scalp region
  • 3–5 times weekly
  • 2–3mg/mL
  • Minimum 12-week cycles. Hair growth phases require sustained exposure
  • Follicular response lags peptide administration by 6–8 weeks. Patience required
  • Post-Surgical Scar Modulation
  • 1–2mg per injection site
  • Every other day for 6 weeks
  • 3–5mg/mL
  • Begin 48–72 hours post-procedure, continue through remodelling phase
  • Early intervention during inflammatory phase shows superior outcomes vs delayed treatment
  • The concentration column reflects practical reconstitution ratios researchers use to achieve target doses in manageable injection volumes. Higher concentrations allow smaller volumes but require more precise measurement.
