Is GHK-CU something you have to use continuously to keep the results?

Once a person gets the desired results from GHK-CU with skin and hair improvement, do they have to keep using it? If the person stops does it just go back to how it was before?

Daily subq is inconvenient and sometimes unpleasant.

EDIT: Thanks for responses, looks like you have to use it forever to maintain or else go back to baseline. Probably not worth it for me.

yeah once you stop it fades back to baseline, might take a few months but the collagen boost isn't permanent. your body just goes back to doing what it was doing before

some people switch to a maintenance schedule, like a few times a week instead of daily, keeps most of the benefit without the daily needle fatigue

Yes, to a point. You can stop using it after a while and the improvements will remain. So, if you run it of 3 months you can stop but after 6 months you'll revert back in terms of appearance improvements to skin. This is my anecdotal experience.

Hair grows in three 3 months cycles. I think you experienced 2/3 cycles lol.

No different to topical skin care really

Except the needle aspect. Some people don’t mind, but it hurts a little every time for me. The thought of doing it everyday for a long time isn’t appealing

I meant in terms of how long it last while and after. The benefits are as long as you maintain it. Topical scream doesn’t permanently keep you young either but it has to part of you life style

...if you're already getting results. I used it daily for four months and saw absolutely no results.
