GFC, or Growth Factor Concentrate Hair Treatment, is an advanced hair procedure designed to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. This treatment uses the power of growth factors—naturally occurring proteins in the body that regulate cell growth and repair—to rejuvenate hair follicles and improve overall hair health. By applying growth factors directly to the scalp, GFC Hair Treatment can stimulate hair growth, increase hair density, revitalise weak hair, and improve overall hair health.
GFC hair treatment works by delivering these concentrated growth factors directly to the scalp, where they can:
Stimulate Cellular Activity: The growth factors activate cells within the hair follicles, prompting them to enter the growth phase of the hair cycle.
Promote Follicle Repair: Damaged or weakened hair follicles are repaired and rejuvenated, leading to improved hair density and quality.
Enhance Blood Flow: Increased angiogenesis boosts blood flow to the scalp, ensuring that hair follicles receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen for optimal growth.
Genetic hair loss often occurs gradually and follows predictable patterns
Women may face hair loss during pregnancy, menopause, or due to hormonal shifts from birth control pills and childbirth.
Certain drugs, like chemotherapy for cancer treatment, can cause hair loss as a side effect.
Stress, inadequate sleep, an unhealthy diet, and nutritional deficiencies can all contribute to hair loss
Including bleaching, coloring, and dyeing, can also lead to hair loss.
Hairstyles that pull tightly on the hair, such as ponytails, can cause traction alopecia.
A detailed consultation with our specialised dermatologist is needed to understand the cause of hair loss, its severity, medical history, diet, and advise suitable treatment.
The dermatologist may prescribe certain hormonal tests to understand the underlying condition, if required. This step may not be required for all customers.
The dermatologist may suggest the choice of treatment most suitable to the condition of the patient to achieve the best results. The customer can choose the final treatment to be undertaken.
Post-care follow-up on the next day of the treatment to understand if the treatment experience was satisfactory and if the customer requires any help.
Initial Consultation: The first step of GFC hair treatment is a thorough consultation with an experienced dermatologist. During this session, your hair and scalp condition will be assessed to determine if GFC treatment is suitable for your hair.
Blood Collection: A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test. This blood is then processed to isolate the growth factors present in the platelets.
Preparation of GFC Solution: The collected blood is centrifuged to separate and concentrate the growth factors into a potent solution. This solution contains key growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
Application: The prepared GFC solution is injected directly into the affected areas of the scalp. These injections are precisely targeted to ensure the growth factors reach the hair follicles that need stimulation.
While GFC (Growth factor concentrate) treatment for hair loss is generally safe, a consultation with a dermatologist is essential before opting for it. Certain conditions may limit the suitability of this treatment:
1. Pregnant and Lactating Women: As a precautionary measure, GFC is avoided in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
2. Blood thinners: Blood thinners interfere with clotting, thus impacting the effectiveness of GFC treatment.
3. Smoking: Smoking slows down the healing process, thereby affecting GFC’s results.
4. Blood Disorders: Conditions such as thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction syndrome can affect blood clotting, impacting GFC treatment.
5. Chronic Diseases: Cancer and chronic liver diseases can hinder the healing process, making a consultation with a doctor necessary before considering GFC.
