Copper Peptides and microneedling for hair loss

[mt1178]

Anyone else getting peppered with Copper Peptide hair loss treatment advertisements lately? Particularly Novomane and Peptonix.

Clever marketing but so hard to tell if their before and after pics are AI-enhanced. Money back guarantees on offer though.

Anyone tried these?

In my opinion conventional treatments should be tried first.

Nobody wants to have a flat tire between their legs, but even doing Finasteride every other day is better than not doing it at all.

Of course, this only applies to people suffering from androgen alopecia.

Just another scam

Good instinct to be sceptical of the ads (I work on the editorial team of an online pharmacy, general information only):

• Copper peptides (GHK-Cu) have interesting lab data: they influence skin repair, collagen and some growth-factor signalling, and a few small studies suggest they may support follicle size. But there are no solid randomised trials showing meaningful regrowth in androgenetic alopecia comparable to minoxidil or finasteride.
• Before-and-after photos in ads are the weakest form of evidence: lighting, haircut, wet vs dry hair and concealers can create dramatic differences. Many users also take minoxidil or finasteride at the same time, so the effect cannot be attributed to the peptide.
• If you want to try one, treat it as a cosmetic add-on, check the money-back terms carefully, and keep using proven treatment underneath.
• Microneedling on its own has better evidence than most peptide serums, especially combined with minoxidil.

As bsmith said, conventional treatments first.
