Post-surgery scar reduction — 3 months of topical GHK-Cu results
8 posts
Had a shoulder scope in January. Started 0.2% GHK-Cu serum on the portal scars once they closed (week 3 post-op). Applied 2x/day for 12 weeks.
Results: the scars are flatter and less red than I expected based on a previous surgery I had with no peptide. Whether that's the GHK-Cu or just 'young-ish body heals well' I can't say. No controls, obviously. But I'll do it again next time.
Not injecting near the scar, just topical. The sub-q-for-scars crowd can fight me in the other thread.

Did the same after my rotator surgery. Portal scars barely visible at 6 months. Can't prove it was the peptide, but the cost was low and it didn't mess anything up.

The post-surgical scar literature on GHK-Cu is one of the better-supported topical use cases. Not n=∞ but it's real. Start as soon as the incision is closed and re-epithelialized.

Adds to the 'cheap and probably does something' column. I'll keep a vial around for next injury.
