GHK-Cu Works for Hair on Dogs

I wasn't sure where to post this. It's not really a nootropic-related report but I thought people would be interested in these results.
My dog is 11-years-old and in great shape for her age. Her only identifiable age-related issue is bare spots at her elbows on her front legs. She's had them for at least 5 years now (the bare spots, not the legs; those are OEM).
I ordered some GHK-Cu to try it out and I thought "What the hell? Let's see if this will do something for her." I mixed 20 mg of the reconstituted GHK-Cu into 20 g of a standard moisturizer and have been applying it to her bare spots for a week. They haven't filled in completely but there is noticeably more fur in those spots. Prior to this, you could see the bare spots easily from a distance. Now, the one on her left leg isn't even visible unless you look closely and move the surrounding fur. The results for this are much better than I would have expected.

Now the question is, does this apply to humans too? I know that for nootropic purposes GHK-Cu is injected SubQ but I almost wonder if anyone has tried Ceretropics GHK-Cu on their own hair yet?
GHK-Cu has always been a topic of great interest on other hairloss forums but acquiring legitimate GHK-Cu was always an issue which I imagine is now rectified with Ceretropic releasing it.
u/misteryouaresodumb care to chime in with thoughts on GHK-Cu and hairloss if you happen to have any experience with it?

I have not personally tried it for hair, but the concept seems interesting. There seems to be evidence that GHK-Cu helps hair grow, and increases collagen in the area it is applied. However, I am not seeing a lot of sourcing on the claims. I have studies showing the collagen improvements in skin and would healing effects, though.
