Follicle regeneration, scalp renewal, and hair growth — without a hormone in sight.
Lush Hair Growth Peptide combines GHK-Cu — the naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide that declines with age and plays a foundational role in tissue repair, follicle health, and scalp regeneration — with latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog that extends the hair growth phase through a separate and complementary mechanism. For women who want a non-hormonal path to hair restoration — whether due to pregnancy, perimenopause, PCOS, telogen effluvium, hormonal side effects, or simply the preference for a gentler approach — this is regenerative scalp care that works with your body’s own systems.
Size
100ml (30-day supply)WHAT TO EXPECT
GHK-Cu and latanoprost work on different biological timescales. Early results tend to reflect improved scalp environment; structural hair changes follow over months.
WEEKS 4–8
Weeks 4–8 typically show reduced hair shedding, improved hair shaft thickness in existing hairs, and healthier scalp condition. GHK-Cu’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity at the scalp begins improving the follicular environment. For patients experiencing telogen effluvium, this is the window where active shedding often begins to slow.
WEEKS 8–16
Weeks 8–16 typically show new hair growth in areas of miniaturization — particularly crown and hairline in androgenic alopecia patterns — with visible increase in hair density. Latanoprost’s prostaglandin-mediated anagen extension becomes measurable. One study showed that latanoprost significantly increased hair density after 24 weeks.
MONTHS 4–6 AND BEYOND
Months 4–6 and beyond show continued thickening and coverage improvement. For women in perimenopause or postmenopause, this is where the anti-aging and scalp regeneration effects of GHK-Cu compound — the scalp environment that has been aging alongside hormonal decline is actively being supported.
For telogen effluvium specifically: copper peptides may accelerate recovery from telogen effluvium by promoting the transition from telogen back to anagen and supporting follicle health during the recovery period. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects are particularly valuable — stress and illness often involve systemic inflammation that damages follicles, and copper peptides help protect them during vulnerable periods. Telogen effluvium almost always resolves on its own; GHK-Cu supports the speed and quality of that recovery. GHK-Cu appears to help regenerate and reactivate follicles that have been damaged or miniaturized, rather than preventing DHT from forming. This is a fundamentally different mechanism than finasteride — and potentially a complementary one. Your HerTeleMeds clinician will help you understand what’s driving your hair loss and whether this is the right formulation for that driver.
ABOUT THE TREATMENT
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide that the body produces in abundance during youth and loses significantly with age. By your 60s, circulating GHK-Cu has declined by roughly 60% from levels at age 20. At the scalp, that decline translates into a less supportive follicular environment — reduced collagen scaffolding around follicles, increased inflammation, impaired repair signaling, and the slower recovery that makes hair loss feel accelerating rather than static.
Copper peptides offer particular benefits for menopausal hair loss. The non-hormonal mechanism makes them safe to use alongside hormone therapy if desired. The anti-inflammatory and collagen-supporting effects address multiple aspects of aging-related hair changes.
GHK-Cu supports hair health through several distinct mechanisms: it stimulates dermal papilla cells and follicle stem cells — supporting the cellular machinery responsible for initiating new hair growth cycles; it increases scalp vascularity — improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to follicles, supporting the metabolic environment that healthy hair growth requires; it reduces scalp inflammation — the regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects are particularly valuable for hair loss types driven by inflammation, stress, and illness rather than pure androgen activity; and it supports extracellular matrix integrity — maintaining the collagen scaffolding around follicles that keeps them structurally healthy and positioned for continued growth.
Latanoprost 0.005% extends the anagen (growth) phase through prostaglandin F2α receptor signaling — a mechanism entirely separate from GHK-Cu’s regenerative pathways. Latanoprost significantly increased hair density after 24 weeks in published research. Together with GHK-Cu, it provides a second distinct growth-promoting signal that does not rely on hormone pathways.
Lush Hair Growth Peptide is formulated for women who want effective hair support without hormonal actives. This includes women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding — GHK-Cu carries no pregnancy contraindication; women with PCOS who want to support hair health without androgenic medications; women experiencing telogen effluvium — from postpartum hair loss, perimenopause, illness, or significant life stress; women who have experienced hormonal side effects from finasteride, dutasteride, or other 5-alpha reductase inhibitors; women who want to add a complementary non-hormonal layer to an existing prescription hair protocol; and women in perimenopause or postmenopause dealing with scalp aging alongside hair thinning.
HOW TO USE
STEP 01
Apply 0.5–1 dropperful directly to the scalp, focusing on areas of thinning or concern. Nighttime application supports uninterrupted absorption and avoids UV exposure, which can degrade latanoprost. Part hair to ensure direct scalp contact.
STEP 02
Use clean fingertips to massage the serum into the scalp for 1–2 minutes. This supports scalp circulation — one of GHK-Cu’s core mechanisms — and distributes both actives evenly. Wash hands after application.
STEP 03
Allow full absorption before washing. Most patients apply at bedtime for overnight absorption.
STEP 04
GHK-Cu builds cumulatively in the scalp tissue over time. Consistent daily application maintains the regenerative environment that drives results. Skipping days interrupts the tissue-level response.
Microneedling note: For patients open to it, scalp microneedling before application significantly enhances GHK-Cu penetration and bioavailability — approaching the efficacy levels of injectable protocols. Discuss with your HerTeleMeds clinician whether this is appropriate for your routine. Eye contact: Latanoprost can cause iris pigmentation changes with ophthalmic exposure. Keep this product away from the eyes.

FAQ
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide that declines with age. At the scalp, it supports hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla and follicle stem cells, improving scalp vascularity, reducing follicle-damaging inflammation, and maintaining the extracellular matrix that keeps follicles structurally healthy. GHK-Cu helps regenerate and reactivate follicles that have been damaged or miniaturized, rather than blocking DHT production. This makes it a regenerative support — and potentially a complementary one — for patients using DHT-blocking treatments, or a standalone option for patients whose hair loss isn’t primarily androgenetic.
Women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy (GHK-Cu has no pregnancy contraindication; finasteride and dutasteride are Category X). Women with PCOS who want hair support without androgenic medications. Women who have experienced side effects from 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. Women with telogen effluvium — where the driver is stress, illness, or hormonal transition rather than pattern baldness. Women in perimenopause or postmenopause who want scalp regeneration support alongside or instead of hormonal treatments. Your HerTeleMeds clinician will assess which formulation or combination is right for your specific situation.
Yes — and for many patients this is the ideal use case. GHK-Cu works through follicle regeneration, not DHT inhibition — you could theoretically use both: a DHT blocker to reduce the hormonal attack on follicles, and copper peptide to support the regenerative response. Discuss your full protocol with your HerTeleMeds clinician at consultation.
Copper peptides may accelerate recovery from telogen effluvium by promoting the transition from telogen back to anagen and supporting follicle health during the recovery period. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects are particularly valuable — stress and illness often involve systemic inflammation that damages follicles, and copper peptides help protect them during vulnerable periods. Telogen effluvium almost always resolves on its own; GHK-Cu supports the quality and speed of that recovery. Note that the evidence for GHK-Cu in telogen effluvium specifically is mechanistic and early-stage — discuss expected outcomes with your clinician.
The active ingredient (GHK-Cu) is the same compound. Scalp formulations are optimized for scalp skin, which has different texture, sebum levels, and absorption characteristics than facial skin. If you already respond well to GHK-Cu on your face, the same regenerative mechanism operates on your scalp. The scalp-specific formulation alongside latanoprost makes this a more targeted hair protocol than applying facial GHK-Cu to the scalp.
OTC copper peptide products are typically formulated for facial skin at lower or unspecified concentrations. Lush Hair Growth Peptide delivers GHK-Cu at 0.5% alongside latanoprost — a prescription prostaglandin analog not available OTC — compounded to verified therapeutic concentrations by a pharmacy with 35+ years of specialized compounding experience. The clinical intent and delivery precision are meaningfully different from a mass-produced facial serum applied to the scalp.
GHK-Cu carries no known pregnancy contraindication at topical doses. Latanoprost has limited pregnancy-specific safety data — discuss with your HerTeleMeds clinician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting. This is one of the significant safety advantages of this formulation over finasteride- or dutasteride-containing protocols.
Lush Hair Growth Peptide is for women who want to support their hair from a place of regeneration — not hormone suppression, not aggressive chemistry, not a drug that comes with a Category X warning. A HerTeleMeds clinician will review your hair loss history and confirm this is the right protocol for what you’re navigating. Peptide-based hair care for every stage of life.
