Copper Peptide Hair Loss TreatmentsRepair Scalp Damage and Regrow New HairIt was determined that new skin cells were being grown in the hair follicles and migrating to the surrounding damaged skin. From that, the next step was to link skin repair and hair growth. It would take many years for researchers to determine the role copper played in this process. It was eventually discovered that copper peptides stimulated healing of wounds and also increased the size of hair follicles at the wound's edges. Hair loss has many causes. Among the most common are:
Researchers determined that the copper solutions applied to the scalp
This all leads to a healthy head of hair. Minoxidil (Rogaine) grows new fine “vellus” hair. Copper peptide solutions convert this fine hair into thicker, fuller, pigmented hair and it is suggested that both be substances be used in combination if you are trying to regrow hair. The copper peptide has the added benefit of reducing the inflammation and itching caused by minoxidil. Copper peptide treatments are also beneficial after hair transplants. They speed up healing and cut the growth time of new hair in half to just six weeks. They can prevent hair loss due to chemotherapy if used beforehand or cause it to regrow faster if used after. While copper peptide solutions show great promise in hair restoration, one of it chief researchers, Dr. Loren Pickart, thinks its major benefit at this time is as a regular scalp treatment applied once or twice a week to maintain healthy hair and scalp. Dr. Pickart patented several forms of copper peptides, known as GHK-Cu. Products that include GHK-Cu are: Folligen Lotion, Folligen Cream and Folligen Spray. Folligen Cream is recommended for the frontal hair line and thinner areas of the scalp. Folligen Lotion is for thicker areas of hair. Folligen Spray is used to reduce areas of irritation caused by other treatments such as minoxidil or Propeca.

Tricomin Triple Pack Folligen and Tricomin show great promise in helping you keep whatever hair you still have and aiding in at least creating the proper conditions for new hair to grow.
