Growth Factor Concentrate Therapy (GFC)

GFC Therapy is a next-generation hair loss treatment that delivers increased concentrations of one's growth factors.

In this treatment, increased concentrations of the individual’s own growth factors are utilised to stimulate the natural regenerative processes in the scalp.

The process typically involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood, isolating and concentrating the growth factors, and then reintroducing them into the scalp.

These growth factors play a pivotal role in promoting cell growth, tissue repair, and the development of new blood vessels, all of which contribute to healthier and thicker hair.

GFC therapy is renowned for its effectiveness in fostering natural hair regeneration, and it is considered a safe and minimally invasive option for individuals experiencing hair loss. The treatment’s focus on using the patient’s own blood eliminates concerns related to compatibility and reduces the likelihood of adverse reactions. It’s like giving your hair a personalized boost from within, harnessing the power of your body’s natural growth factors to revitalize and rejuvenate your hair follicles.

Who needs GFC?

  • Mild to Moderate Hair Loss: Individuals with early-stage or moderate hair loss who are seeking a non-surgical solution.
  • Genetic Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia): Those with a family history of hair loss or a genetic predisposition to androgenetic alopecia.
  • Thinning Hair: People with thinning hair who want to improve overall hair density and quality.
  • Men and Women: GFC therapy is applicable to both men and women experiencing hair loss.
  • Preventative Measures: Individuals looking to proactively address hair thinning before it becomes more pronounced.
  • Preference for Natural Solutions: People who prefer natural treatments and are cautious about the potential side effects of more aggressive interventions.

It’s crucial for candidates to consult with a healthcare professional or a qualified specialist to determine if GFC therapy is the right option for their specific situation.

Procedure:

  • Step 1 - Blood Collection: Gather the patient’s blood using specialized GFC tubes.
  • Step 2 - Platelet Activation and Growth Factor Release: Gently mix the collected blood and let the tubes stand for 30 minutes. This process activates and releases growth factors such as PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and IGF-1 from α-grains in platelets.
  • Step 3 - GFC Separation: Utilize centrifugation at 3800 rpm for 10 minutes to separate the Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC).
  • Step 4 - GFC Collection: Invert the tube to collect the prepared GFC, ensuring a yield of over 16 ml.
  • Step 5 - Application: The obtained GFC is now ready for use in the targeted area. This meticulous process ensures the effective harnessing of growth factors for the desired outcome.

Advantages:

Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) Therapy, an advanced solution for combating hair loss, comes with a host of advantages:
