Growth Factor Concentrate Therapy (GFC) is an advanced hair restoration treatment that harnesses the power of growth factors derived from a patient’s own blood. This innovative, natural approach offers safe and effective results without any risk of contamination or adverse reactions.

What is GFC Therapy?

GFC treatment involves extracting growth factors from the patient’s own blood platelets, known for their high concentration of natural growth agents. This collected GFC is then administered directly to the targeted area using specialized equipment, promoting natural tissue regeneration without any platelet loss. This highly concentrated formula, crafted from the patient’s own cells, provides a safe, pure, and powerful solution for restoring hair health and density.

GFC therapy is particularly beneficial for post-hair transplant patients and those experiencing hair thinning or loss, typically achieving noticeable results in just 3–4 sessions.

How GFC Therapy Works

Growth factors in blood platelets play a significant role in tissue repair, regeneration, and hair growth. Each growth factor within GFC serves a unique purpose in promoting hair follicle health and rejuvenation:

  • Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF): Stimulates blood vessel formation and helps in fibroblast proliferation, essential for hair growth and follicle health.
  • Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Enhances cell growth and division, promoting hair cell regeneration and follicle repair.
  • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): Increases blood supply to the follicles, supporting stronger and healthier hair growth.
  • Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1): Encourages overall hair growth and supports hair follicle growth through angiogenesis.

GFC Preparation Process at EverGlo Aesthetic Clinic

The GFC preparation process involves several precise steps to ensure the highest concentration and quality of growth factors:

  1. Blood Collection: A small blood sample is taken from the patient and divided into GFC tubes, each holding around 15–16 ml.
  2. Platelet Activation & Growth Factor Release: Tubes are gently mixed and left to stand for 30 minutes, allowing growth factors like PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and IGF-1 to activate and release.
  3. Centrifugation: The tubes are centrifuged to separate the pure GFC from other blood cells, ensuring a clean and concentrated preparation.
  4. GFC Extraction: The collected GFC concentrate is carefully extracted from the tubes, ensuring maximum purity and potency.
  5. Application: The GFC is now ready to be administered to the scalp using fine needles, targeting areas in need of rejuvenation and support.

Advantages of GFC Therapy

As a next-generation solution for hair loss, GFC therapy offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Efficient and natural hair regeneration
  • Significant improvement in hair thickness and density
  • Safety and purity, being derived from the patient’s own blood
  • Minimal risk of inflammation or discomfort, as the concentrate is free from red and white blood cells
  • Convenient and high-quality treatment requiring minimal sessions

Results of GFC Therapy

GFC therapy helps to:

  • Reduce hair fall and revive dormant hair follicles
  • Strengthen existing hair grafts and stimulate new hair growth
  • Enhance hair volume and thickness

Typically, GFC therapy requires about 3–4 sessions to yield optimal results. For further support, it can be combined with oral or topical medications to alleviate any mild discomfort, with side effects typically resolving within one week.
