Microlift Renewal Cream (GHK-Cu)
Microlift Renewal Cream wraps clinical‑grade GHK‑Cu copper peptide in a hydrating, barrier‑supportive base to target fine lines, laxity, dullness, and texture. GHK‑Cu has been shown to increase collagen and elastin, improve skin thickness, and reduce wrinkle volume, giving skin a firmer, more lifted, “micro‑sculpted” look with consistent use—without the irritation of traditional actives. Better Med Spa offers 1.5% concentration (3x the typical potency), as we offer pharmacy-grade quality and formulations meant to strengthen results.
How It Works
GHK‑Cu is a naturally occurring copper‑binding tripeptide that penetrates the stratum corneum and signals fibroblasts to produce more collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans while regulating matrix metalloproteinases to reduce excessive collagen breakdown. Clinical and lab studies show topical GHK‑Cu can tighten lax skin, thicken thinned dermis, improve elasticity, smooth roughness, reduce wrinkle depth, and fade photodamage and mottled pigmentation. It also calms inflammation and oxidative stress, supporting barrier repair and faster healing after procedures or environmental insults.
What It Targets
Our GHK-Cu topical peptide is designed to target:
- Fine lines (crow’s feet, smile lines) and early wrinkles needing gentle, consistent softening.
- Mild to moderate laxity, crepiness, and loss of firmness in the face, neck, or décolleté.
- Photodamage—dull tone, uneven texture, mottled pigmentation, and residual sun spots.
- Post‑treatment skin (microneedling, peels, laser) that needs accelerated repair and reduced downtime.
Benefits
Topical GHK-Cu is believed to help with:
- Collagen + elastin boost: GHK‑Cu cream has been shown to increase collagen I and III, dermal thickness, and elasticity, with clinical trials reporting up to ~30–55% reductions in wrinkle volume and meaningful improvements versus retinoic acid or vitamin C in some studies.
- Barrier repair and calming: Copper peptides help restore barrier proteins and lipids, reducing redness, irritation, and dehydration while protecting skin from oxidative and inflammatory damage.
- Texture and tone refinement: Regular use smooths rough patches, softens acne marks, and helps lighten mottled hyperpigmentation and sun damage for a more even, luminous tone.
- Post‑procedure friendly: Compared with many acids or strong retinoids, GHK‑Cu is better tolerated and frequently used to speed healing and results after microneedling, laser, and RF, making it a perfect Better Med Spa add‑on.

Questions?
We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.
What is Microlift Renewal Cream and how is it different from a regular moisturizer?
Microlift Renewal Cream is a copper peptide treatment cream built around GHK‑Cu, a peptide shown to improve firmness, elasticity, wrinkle depth, and skin density—not just hydrate. A standard moisturizer mainly seals in water; Microlift sends biochemical “repair” signals that help rebuild the dermal matrix over time.
Who is a good candidate?
Ideal candidates notice early to moderate signs of aging—fine lines, dullness, texture changes—or are investing in in‑clinic services and want a science‑backed home product that supports results and healing. It is especially good for clients who are sensitive to retinoids or want a collagen‑supporting cream they can use year‑round.
How soon will I see results?
Many users see improved glow and softness within 2–4 weeks, with firmer, smoother, more even skin typically emerging over 8–12 weeks of twice‑daily use in clinical studies of GHK‑Cu creams. Optimal results come when Microlift Renewal Cream is layered consistently with SPF, gentle cleanser, and Better Med Spa facials or microneedling.
Can it be used with retinol, vitamin C, or peels?
Yes—Microlift pairs well with retinoids, vitamin C, and exfoliating treatments, often helping buffer irritation and support barrier repair. Your provider can map out whether to alternate nights with retinol, use it post‑procedure, or layer under SPF in the morning based on your skin plan.
How does Microlift Renewal Cream fit into Better Med Spa programs?
Microlift Renewal Cream should be a default retail add‑on for clients receiving facials, peels, microneedling, and peptide or GLP‑1 protocols—reinforcing your “inside/outside” philosophy and increasing average revenue per visit. It slots seamlessly into memberships as the home‑care hero product, with automated reminders and before/after photos to showcase long‑term texture and firmness gains.
