Overview: 

Are you tired of hair fall and hesitant to undergo surgical treatments?

Addressing hair issues early is important to avoid future baldness and further thinning. If you’re looking for a quick yet effective method to boost hair growth, consider GFC therapy. On this page, you’ll learn about GFC and its benefits.

QUICK FACTS:

What Is GFC?

GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is basically an advanced form of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy. It focuses only on the growth factors present in your plasma, making it more targeted and effective. It is the most advanced technology currently available for controlling hair loss. It stimulates hair regrowth, improves hair density, and regenerates dormant hair follicles.

Preparation|Science Behind GFC Therapy: 

Just like PRP, blood is drawn from the patient, usually around 20–25 ml. But instead of regular PRP vials, special GFC vials are used. These vials contain two main components:

• Activator: This activates the platelets and releases growth factors from them
• Separator: This helps separate plasma from other cells.

The blood is mixed gently with the activator already present in the vial and then kept aside for about 20–30 minutes. During this time, the platelets get activated and release growth factors. After that, the sample is centrifuged (spun) to separate plasma rich in growth factors, which is then injected into the scalp or skin.

Results | Before and After GFC: 

GFC is a newer therapy. Initial studies and clinical experience suggest it is superior to PRP in some aspects, higher growth factor concentration, fewer sessions, and faster results.

The satisfaction rate for GFC therapy is very high, as many people undergo this treatment and experience positive outcomes, including the following benefits:

• Reduction in hair fall
• Increased density and thickness
• Renewal of follicles to stimulate hair growth
