GFC is the short form for growth factor concentrate, where growth factors are extracted from the patient’s blood and used to reduce hair loss. Growth factors are effective in treating hair loss and for managing skin premature signs of ageing. Genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, post fever,  post pregnancy, post surgeries, hereditary disorders, poor nutrition, and stress are the most important contributing factors for hair loss. Traditionally, hair loss treatment have been using oral medicines and surgical procedures to restore the hair. 

Platelets in the blood are a rich source of various growth factors. GFC therapy takes advantage of these growth factors. A highly concentrated growth factor sample is injected directly into the layers of skin. These growth factors speed up regeneration. 

GFC therapy not only helps prevent hair loss but also encourages the growth of new hair, strengthens hair follicles and increases the density of hair. 

What is GFC treatment?

Growth Factor Concentrate therapy derives growth factors from the patient’s blood and inserts, them right into the hair root to treat hair fall. The growth factor concentrate is specially prepared using the GFC therapy kit. Apart from administrating GFC as a standalone method, some patients use this method as an add-on treatment to get superior results following hair transplant surgery. 

The growth factor concentration contains the following growth factors:

• Platelet-Derived Growth Factors
• Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors
• Insulin-like Growth Factors,
•  Epidermal Growth Factors

These growth factors are hair growth stimulators.

Roughly 16 ml of a person’s blood is required to prepare the growth, concentrate, which yields around 7-8 ml of final, ready-to-inject GFC product. The procedure takes around 40 minutes and an individual with alopecia in its early or late phases is a good candidate. Both men and women can equally benefit from GFC treatment.

Surprising benefits of GFC hair treatment for ultimate hair restoration at new clinic

Overall benefits: GFC takes advantage of the growth factors present in the individual’s blood. As a result of this, the patient enjoys the following benefits.

• Strong and regenerated hair follicles
• Improved hair thickness and volume
• The future hair growth will be healthy
• The patient observes a significant reduction in hair fall.
• The patient observes these results, just after three sessions of GFC.

Non-surgical method: Since it is a non-surgical method, it offers the following benefits:

• A minimally invasive therapy
• Painless and safe treatment
• Just within 3 sessions, the optimal results are achieved
• Minimal side effects
• No chances of allergies or infections
• Improved appearance of the hairline

The root of the issue is treated: The hair follicle is the main element which should be healthy and strong to have a lush hairline. By injecting growth factors directly into the scalp, the follicle gets a combination of beneficial proteins which help in restoring and maintaining its health.

The above-mentioned combination of growth factors also strengthens the hair shaft and promotes the re-growth of dormant hair follicles. The result is a scalp full of smooth, soft, and shiny hair strands, which is exactly what people want.

Scalp health improvement: Growth factor therapy not only concentrates on restoring the last hip but also helps in improving the overall health of the scalp. That is why GFC achieves a greater production and growth rate. Another advantage is that these changes are long-lasting, but the individual has to be patient to see the results since it will take time for all these changes to occur on the scalp. Hair takes time to process the proteins in the concentrated growth. That is why most people do not see a great benefit just after a single treatment. A minimum of three sessions is where the vast majority of patients see their desired results. There is another option where GFC can combine with other hair loss therapies such as microneedling and mesotherapy for hair loss. Using the combination of these methods is decided on a case-to-case basis.

Quick return to normal life: Within a period of 12 to 24 hours, the patient recovers. The only discomfort the patient experiences is during the administration of the injections which quickly subside and the individual can resume their normal activities immediately after the therapy. Even if you experience slight swelling or redness at the injection site, it will subside just within a few days. Applying a cold press will help you in the reduction of swelling or soreness. Following the GFC, our experts at Neuderm will give you aftercare guidelines, which will help you in faster recovery. We advise the individual to avoid uncommon activities and to expose the scalp directly to sunlight.

To keep the scalp clean and healthy, one can use a gentle shampoo and conditioner. 

Growth factor therapy is especially beneficial for individuals who have thinning hair or hair loss due to ageing, genetics, or medical conditions. The treatment also helps protect hair follicles from environmental and other factors that might lead to hair loss. Reversal of hair loss is also part of GFC.  Please book your online consultation appointment today at https://neuderm.in/contact-us/ or call us at 8341356365.
