I been losing my hair for over a year probably longer Im currently on finasteride (9months) and peptonix microneedler (ghk-cu for almost 5months) I want to know if there is anything else I can do to or am I just throwing money in a fire.

For the money side of your question, a practical first step is a one-page record: what each item costs per month, when you started it, and what you can compare with dated photos taken under the same lighting and angle. That gives you something more concrete than trying to judge progress from memory.
Take that record to the clinician managing your treatment and ask what they will use to assess your response and when they want to review it. A forum cannot tell from this description whether your current treatment is appropriate or what you should add. The practical list can help keep that review focused and make clear what you are spending.
Amir, your question about whether GHK-Cu is worth the money is fair. People in hair-loss discussions report everything from less shedding to no visible change, but when several treatments overlap, those reports can’t tell us which one helped. As the other reply suggested, same-angle photos and a timeline of what you started can make the five-month comparison more useful.
The research is still narrow: a 2026 randomized study of 18 people found better eyebrow hair counts with a topical copper-peptide serum after 12 weeks. That’s encouraging for eyebrows, but it didn’t study scalp hair loss or a microneedling device. A separate study in 45 men tested a peptide combined with another ingredient, so it can’t isolate the peptide’s effect. I wouldn’t count either study as proof that your current treatment is paying off. A dermatologist can help assess whether the finasteride is doing its job and whether another cause of shedding needs attention.
