Cellular Reset (Epithalon + GHK-Cu)
Cellular Reset is Better Med Spa’s longevity‑meets‑glow peptide protocol, pairing Epithalon—studied for telomere support, circadian regulation, and pineal protection—with GHK‑Cu, a regenerative copper peptide that boosts collagen, elastin, and tissue repair. Delivered in cycles under a non‑FDA–approved informed consent model, it’s designed to support biological age, sleep, and skin quality while integrating lifestyle and skincare upgrades.
How It Works
Epithalon (Epithalamin analog) is a pineal tetrapeptide that has been shown in preclinical and early human work to activate telomerase, extend telomere length, modulate aging biomarkers, and restore melatonin secretion and pineal cell function. This may influence multiple hallmarks of aging—from oxidative stress and immune balance to circadian rhythm and sleep quality. GHK‑Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide that upregulates collagen I and III, elastin, glycosaminoglycans, and wound-healing pathways while shifting gene expression toward a more youthful pattern and reducing inflammation and oxidative damage. Together, they are used in carefully dosed cycles to support cellular resilience and skin regeneration under medical supervision.
What It Targets
Our Epithalon + GHK-Cu combination peptides are designed to target:
- Cellular aging pathways, including telomere attrition, oxidative stress, and circadian disruption in midlife and beyond.
- Sleep quality and recovery in clients with age‑related melatonin decline, “tired but wired” evenings, or irregular sleep–wake cycles.
- Visible skin aging—fine lines, laxity, dullness, and textural changes—through enhanced collagen, elastin, and dermal remodeling.
- Overall “biological age” markers in clients already investing in nutrition, exercise, stress work, and other Better Med Spa protocols (GLP‑1s, Tesamorelin, etc.).
Benefits
Epithalon + GHK-Cu is believed to help with:
- Multi-pathway longevity support: Epithalon has been reported in cell, animal, and early human studies to extend telomeres, improve aging biomarkers, support melatonin output, and potentially reduce age-related mortality, though data remain preliminary and largely from Russian cohorts.
- Deeper rest and circadian balance: By acting on pineal cells and melatonin pathways, Epithalon may help re‑sync sleep–wake cycles and nighttime recovery, which Better Med Spa amplifies with sleep hygiene and light‑exposure coaching.
- Collagen‑rich, firmer skin: GHK‑Cu has been shown to increase collagen and elastin production, enhance dermal matrix organization, accelerate wound healing, and visibly improve wrinkles and texture in topical and injectable studies.
- Youthful gene signaling: GHK‑Cu can shift thousands of genes toward a more youthful expression profile, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative pathways, complementing Epithalon’s broader geroprotective effects.
- Holistic protocol design: At Better Med Spa, Cellular Reset is integrated with labs, recovery rituals, and K‑Beauty facials so clients feel and see the impact—from deeper sleep to more luminous skin and resilience.

Questions?
We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.
What is Cellular Reset and how is it different from other peptide stacks?
Cellular Reset is a curated longevity and glow stack that pairs Epithalon—aimed at telomeres, pineal health, and systemic aging pathways—with GHK‑Cu, which focuses on collagen, skin, and tissue repair. Unlike performance-only stacks, it is built for clients who care about biological age, sleep, and skin quality together and are comfortable with non‑FDA, research‑aligned interventions under informed consent.
Is Cellular Reset FDA‑approved?
No. Neither Epithalon nor systemic GHK‑Cu use are FDA‑approved for anti‑aging, longevity, or cosmetic indications. Cellular Reset is explicitly offered under a non‑FDA–approved informed consent model that details the evidence, limitations, regulatory status, and alternative options so clients can make a clear, values‑aligned decision.
What kind of results can I expect?
Clients typically describe more stable sleep, improved recovery, and “subtle but noticeable” shifts in skin glow, texture, and firmness when paired with consistent skincare and lifestyle upgrades. Any impact on biological age or telomeres is considered exploratory; in research, Epithalon has been associated with telomere lengthening and reduced mortality in older cohorts, but these findings require more replication and are not guaranteed outcomes.
What are the risks and unknowns?
Most reported side effects of these peptides in studied doses are mild (injection-site irritation, transient sleep or vivid dreams, headaches), but long‑term, large‑scale human safety data—especially for longevity use—remain limited. There are theoretical concerns around hormone‑sensitive conditions, cancer biology, or immune effects, so Better Med Spa screens carefully, avoids use in high‑risk populations, and uses conservative, cyclical dosing with medical monitoring.
How does Cellular Reset fit with other Better Med Spa programs?
Cellular Reset is often layered onto GLP‑1, Tesamorelin, Sleep & Sculpt, or Repair & Glow programs, plus facials and body treatments, to align internal cellular health with visible contour and skin outcomes. For operational efficiency and client value, Better Med Spa can bundle it into longevity memberships that include labs, peptides, K‑Beauty facials, and structured follow‑ups to track energy, sleep, skin, and biological-age metrics over time.
