Growth Factor Concentrates (GFC) for Hair
What is GFC Therapy?
Growth Factor Concentrates (GFC) is an advanced, next-generation hair restoration therapy derived from your own blood. Unlike traditional PRP, where whole plasma with platelets is injected, GFC uses only purified growth factors that are directly responsible for stimulating hair growth.
These growth factors are carefully extracted from the platelets and concentrated into a pure solution, making the treatment more powerful, effective, and long-lasting.
How GFC Works for Hair Regrowth
Blood Collection – A small amount of your blood is drawn.
GFC Extraction – Using a specialized kit, platelets are activated, and only pure growth factors are separated (without unnecessary cells).
Injection into Scalp – The concentrated growth factors are injected into thinning or balding areas.
Hair Follicle Activation – Growth factors stimulate stem cells, improve blood supply, and trigger natural hair growth.
Key Growth Factors in GFC
VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): Improves blood supply to follicles.
PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor): Helps repair and strengthen hair root structures.
EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): Supports scalp healing and follicle activation.
IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor): Promotes new hair growth and thickness.
FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor): Increases follicle activity and hair density.
Benefits of GFC Therapy
✅ Stronger and thicker hair growth.
✅ Reduces hair fall effectively.
✅ Increases hair density and coverage.
✅ Faster results compared to traditional PRP.
✅ 100% safe (autologous – derived from your own blood).

Results: Noticeable improvement in 2–3 months, with full results in 6–8 months.
