What it supports
Objective erythema, wrinkle and skin-quality measures did not differ; patient satisfaction favored GHK-Cu.
What it does not establish
Only 13 completers. Post-laser care context and subjective satisfaction do not establish a general anti-aging effect. Abstract-level extraction; unavailable details are explicitly flagged.
