Copper Peptides -- For Biologically Younger Skin
Copper Peptide cream has age reversing actions on the human skin. Published research conducted by leading dermatologists confirms the ability of these unique peptides on skin aging.
On a recent addition of The Doctors' Show Dr. Ordon - plastic surgeon - also agreed that copper peptide creams and serums and bedding like pillow cases can help reduce the appearance of aging of the skin.
Clinical Data Shows Copper Peptide Creams To Be The Best Anti Aging Cream For Aging Skin. Study results have proven the astounding healing, skin renewal, and anti-aging benefits which also include:- Tighening loose skin
- Improving skin elasticity
- Improving skin firmness
- Reducing age spots, hyper-pigmentation and sun damage
- Imparting a healthy “glow and clarity” to the skin
At the 16th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies -- Dr. Pickart presented further research on ability of peptides to protect and enhance tissue health.
What are Copper Peptide Creams?
They creams that contain a combination of a copper ion (a trace element found in every cell within the body) and a peptide (a small protein fragment). They have been around for some time now and are known to have anti-inflammatory capabilities, enhance wound healing and stimulate collagen production.
And, when you combine copper peptides with retinols....... You get a really powerful, intense anti-wrinkle, anti-aging skin serum! However, this powerful combination should not be used on sensitive skin. This is a better option once you've worked up. If you do try it, apply a small amount in small area first to see how your skin reacts.
Studies have demonstrated over and over again the ability of peptide creams to stimulate wound healing in human and animal models and provide an extraordinary anti-aging effects on human skin. Dr. Loren Pickart is credited with discovering a specific Skin Remodeling Peptide Complex called GHK-Cu. This stands for glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine:copper (II).
At one time this GHK Cu peptide cream was only available through dermatologists and plastic surgeons. They provided their patients with a blue colored cream - called Neova® by Procyte to their patients for post-healing after cosmetic procedures such as dermabrasion, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing to help the skin heal faster and reduce scaring.
Now skin regenerating GHK-Cu Peptide base cream is available to the public. You can use this cream everyday to help slow the aging and degeneration process that naturally happens to skin as you age. This is especially effective in eye creams with copper peptide.
Here is an ultrasound scan of the outer corner eye area (i.e.crows feet) of a 59-year-old woman.
The one on the left was taken before using GHK-Cu's. The one on the right was taken one month after using GHK-Cu's.
Notice the increase in light green color on the right graph, indicating a tighter skin barrier and increased collagen and elastin production.
Why this important, clinically proven skin care ingredient has not been promoted sooner for for anti aging skin care -- I’ll never understand.
It was many years after Dr. Pickart’s first discovery of this incredible peptide complex before it reached the public, and still many people are not aware of it. Perhaps it was due to disbelief among skin care researchers that this complex could have such an incredible effect on skin healing and renewal?
Copper Peptide Skin Care Products- Which One Is Best?
Well, there aren't that many "true" peptide creams available to the public. Most can only be purchased from plastic surgeons and dermatologists. That's because it's difficult to develop this cream with.
Since his first creation of peptide skin care products with GHK-Cu’s, Dr. Pickart has developed what he calls “second-generation” GHK-Cu which targets skin regeneration even better and is more stable. The stability factor is important if you want to maximize skin renewal by using GHK-Cu’s.
While it's still hard to find anti aging creams that contain stable GHK-CU peptides - Neova, the product originally used by plastic surgeons - is now available to the public.
And recently a newer, antioxidant rich peptide serum became available with significantly lower prices.......called Nu-Glow.
Copper Peptide Creams - Maximizing The Effects
In order to maximize skin renewal, you need to get rid of old, dead skin cells. GHK-CU can help rebuild collagen, but you must remove the old collagen in order to really see results and encourage collagen production.
The best way to do this is with home chemical peels and exfoliants using hydroxy acids -- like lactic acid and salicylic acids to help loosen and exfoliate older wrinkled skin and even old scar tissue.
Copper Peptide Side Effects
Those with very sensitive skin may experience a little irritation or redness, especially if using it around the delicate eye area. However, this is pretty rare.The most common side effect is healthier, thicker, stronger skin. Most people tolerate it well.
