GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is an advanced, non-surgical hair restoration therapy that uses the healing power of your own blood. It's a step ahead of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) in terms of concentration, precision, and effectiveness.
Here's how it works: A small sample of your blood is drawn. It's processed to extract pure growth factors—the proteins responsible for healing and regeneration. These concentrated growth factors are injected into your scalp to stimulate hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and boost hair regrowth.
GFC is often considered a next-gen version of PRP. The growth factor level is highly concentrated compared to PRP, resulting in minimal to no side effects. Results are often visible faster and are longer-lasting, typically requiring fewer sessions (3–4 instead of 4–6).
Ideal for early-stage hair thinning, male and female pattern baldness, post-transplant hair strengthening, and anyone looking for a natural, drug-free solution.
Each session takes 45–60 minutes with no downtime—you can resume daily activities right after. Mild redness may appear but settles within a few hours.
Studies show that growth factors stimulate the dermal papilla, the very root of your hair follicles. By improving cellular communication and regeneration, GFC therapy supports stronger, thicker, and healthier hair—naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions
GFC uses a more advanced extraction process that produces highly concentrated growth factors compared to regular PRP. This results in better efficacy, fewer side effects, and often requires fewer sessions.
GFC works best for early-stage to moderate hair loss. For advanced baldness, a hair transplant combined with GFC for post-operative care is recommended.
Most patients require 3-4 initial sessions spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6-12 months to maintain results.
GFC is very safe as it uses your own blood. Mild redness at injection sites may occur but typically resolves within hours. No allergic reactions since it's your own biological material.
