How it works
Start with a free consultation
Tell a nurse practitioner about your health history and goals. There is no obligation to buy medication.
Review your options
If treatment is appropriate and you choose to proceed, your provider reviews the medications with you. The review fee is charged once for that encounter, including prescriptions ordered separately that day.
Choose your bottles
Pay for the bottles prescribed for you, with no subscription or automatic refill. Buying several together does not add another fee to the same medication review. You see the total before agreeing.
Pickup with teaching, or delivery
At clinic pickup, we show you how to use your medication and answer your questions. This teaching is included in the review fee. Prefer delivery? We ship to your home anywhere in California at no extra charge. If you cannot get to a clinic and would like to be shown how to inject, we can do that over video.
Important Information
Copper peptides used topically are generally regulated as cosmetic ingredients rather than as drugs. GHK-Cu is not an FDA-approved drug, and microneedling results vary from person to person. Your clinician will review whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin before you begin.
What Is Copper Peptide Microneedling?
GHK-Cu is a small copper-peptide complex that occurs naturally in human plasma, where levels decline with age. It has been studied for decades in skin biology and is widely used as an active ingredient in topical skincare. We use it during microneedling: the microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, and the copper peptide is applied to the surface immediately afterward, while those channels are open. The treatment is performed by a licensed clinician at all three of our locations, and is available for the face, the face and neck, or the face, neck and chest.

-
What is GHK-Cu, and what is it studied for?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide-copper complex found in human plasma and other body fluids. It has been studied for collagen and skin and appears in topical skincare formulations. This page covers the prescription take-home bottle, separate from the in-clinic microneedling service. At your free consultation, a nurse practitioner can discuss the bottle formulation and whether it fits your skin-quality concerns.
-
Is GHK-Cu FDA-approved?
No. GHK-Cu is not an FDA-approved drug. Its use as a cosmetic skincare ingredient does not establish FDA approval for a prescription bottle. Your nurse practitioner can explain that distinction at your free consultation.
-
What are the risks of GHK-Cu, and who should avoid it?
GHK-Cu is not right for everyone. Your nurse practitioner reviews your health history, current medications and existing conditions before prescribing, and will tell you if it is not a fit. Bring your current medication list to your free consultation.
-
What does it cost, and what is included?
Bottle pricing is shown above. Every order includes one medical review fee, which covers the review and managing your prescriptions, and is charged once even when prescriptions go out as separate orders the same day. The consultation itself is free.
-
How do I start?
Book a free consultation with a nurse practitioner, online or at any of our three locations. They go through your health history, your current medications and what you are trying to achieve, then tell you whether this is a sensible fit. Not everyone is, and if you are, they write the prescription and you pay for your bottles plus the one review fee.
-
Where does my prescription come from?
Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.
-
How long does one bottle last, and how do refills work?
That depends on what your provider prescribes, so it is not something we can put a number on here. Your nurse practitioner tells you at your review roughly how long a bottle should last for you and when it would make sense to order again. There is no subscription and no automatic refill, so you order again only when you decide to.
-
Can I collect it or have it shipped?
Both. Collect at West Hollywood, Santa Monica or Calabasas, where we pack it for you and show you how to use it, all covered by the review fee. Or we ship it to your home anywhere in California, at no extra charge. If you cannot get to a clinic and would like to be shown how to inject, we can set up a video visit and walk you through it.
