Where Peptide Boost fits
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide that has been studied for decades in skin repair. Research suggests it may support the cells and tissue around the hair follicle. Peptide Boost delivers it at 2% in a pharmacy-grade topical, prescribed when a physician considers it a sensible addition to your plan.
A supportive layer
GHK-Cu works best as an addition to a core plan, not in place of it. Minoxidil and finasteride remain the treatments with the strongest evidence for pattern hair loss.
Alongside topical treatment
Peptide Boost can be used with FollicoreRX. Applying the two at different times of day, for example one in the morning and one at night, is a simple way to layer them.
With your derma roller
Microneedling temporarily opens the skin surface, which may help topical ingredients reach the scalp. Follow your physician’s instructions on timing.
How to use it
- 1Start with a clean, dry scalp.
- 2Apply to the thinning areas, working it into the skin rather than the lengths of your hair.
- 3Use it as directed on your prescription, every day, to give it a fair chance.
- 4Allow around six months before judging whether it is worth continuing, since hair changes slowly.
What the evidence says
Laboratory studies show effects consistent with supporting hair growth, but there is not yet a large randomized trial of a copper peptide for androgenetic alopecia. That is why Peptide Boost is offered as a low-risk supportive option rather than a primary treatment, and why results vary from person to person.

Medical questionnaire
The Curekey process starts with a short online medical questionnaire that takes about 5 minutes to complete. Patients share their hair loss pattern, medical history, current medications, and goals. The information is reviewed by a U.S.-licensed physician to determine whether prescription treatment is medically appropriate.

Physician review & Prescription
Each completed questionnaire is reviewed by a licensed physician practicing in the United States. The physician on the Curekey care team evaluates the medical history, hair loss pattern, and any contraindications, and determines whether prescription treatment is medically appropriate. If treatment is approved, a prescription is issued. If it is not appropriate, the patient is informed and not charged.
