Post-laser regimen comparison

GHK-STUDY-P018

Miller et al. (2006), topical copper-tripeptide regimen after CO2 laser resurfacing.

Study design

Record details

Design: Randomized comparison of two post-procedure skin-care regimens.
Population or model: 13 participants completed evaluation after carbon-dioxide laser resurfacing.
Material tested: Multi-product ProCyte copper-tripeptide routine.
Comparator: A different standard post-laser routine.

Evidence record

Endpoints

Instrumental and blinded redness, wrinkle, appearance, and recovery measures; participant satisfaction.

Qualified findings

Objective measures did not show faster reduction in redness or better wrinkle and appearance outcomes.

Participant satisfaction favored the copper regimen.

Limitations

Small study and multi-product regimen prevent ingredient-specific attribution. Satisfaction cannot substitute for objective healing outcomes.
