- Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-500)
- Actin sequestration; downregulates IL-6, TNF-alpha; accelerates immune cell migration
- 2–5mg subcutaneous every 48 hours
- Weeks 1–2 post-op
- 40% reduction in neutrophil infiltration (Am J Pathology, 2018)
- Best for acute inflammation control. Most impactful within first 72 hours
- GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)
- Stimulates lysyl oxidase; increases collagen I/III synthesis; upregulates decorin production
- 1–3mg daily subcutaneous or topical
- Weeks 1–6 post-op
- 70% increase in collagen density vs controls (J Invest Dermatol, 2015)
- Gold standard for collagen architecture. Particularly valuable for patients with prior scarring issues
- BPC-157
- VEGF upregulation; promotes angiogenesis; prevents fibrotic granulation tissue formation
- 250–500mcg daily or twice daily subcutaneous
- Weeks 1–8 post-op
- 28% reduction in fibrotic scarring, 42% improved tensile strength (J Physiol Pharmacol, 2020)
- Most versatile. Works across all three healing phases and reduces long-term scar visibility
