GFC Treatment: A Revolutionary Hair Loss Solution
What is GFC Treatment?
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) treatment is an advanced hair loss treatment that uses a high concentration of growth factors extracted from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles. A dermatologist injects the concentrate into the scalp to promote hair regrowth and improve hair density.
How the GFC Treatment Procedure Works
- Blood Collection: A small sample of blood is drawn from your arm.
- Growth Factor Extraction: The blood is processed using a special centrifuge and kit to isolate and activate the platelets.
- Injection into the Scalp: The concentrated GFC serum is injected into the areas of the scalp with noticeable hair thinning or hair loss.
Benefits of GFC Treatment
- Highly Effective: Stimulates hair follicles to increase hair density and thickness.
- Natural and Safe: Uses your own body’s blood components, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions.
- Reduced Hair Fall: Strengthens hair shafts and revitalizes follicles, decreasing hair shedding.
- Improved Scalp Health: Enhanced blood circulation and nutrient delivery create a better environment for healthy hair development.
- Minimally Invasive: No downtime, and patients can resume normal activities almost immediately.
Potential Side Effects
- Mild Pain or Discomfort: At the injection sites.
- Temporary Redness or Swelling: On the scalp.
- Minor Itching or Tenderness: Rarely reported.
Who is a Good Candidate for GFC?
- Early to Moderate Hair Loss: GFC therapy is most effective for men and women with early to moderate hair loss or thinning.
- Androgenetic Alopecia: Male or female pattern baldness.
- Hair Thinning due to Stress or Hormonal Changes: GFC can help stimulate hair growth in these cases.
GFC vs. PRP
- Concentration: GFC has a higher concentration of pure growth factors.
- Purity: GFC contains zero red blood cells and white blood cells, reducing post-treatment inflammation and pain.
- Sessions: GFC generally requires fewer sessions for optimal results.
What to Expect After Treatment
- Results: Gradually appear over several months.
- Reduced Hair Fall: May be noticeable within the first few weeks.
- Visible Growth: Improved hair density and thickness can be seen after 3 to 6 months.
How it Works
Blood Collection:
A small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, typically from the arm, into special GFC tubes. The volume of blood collected is generally around 15 to 16 milliliters.
Platelet Activation and Concentration:
The collected blood is mixed gently and left to stand for about 30 minutes to activate the platelets. A specialized kit then extracts the growth factors from the platelets, creating a highly concentrated and pure Growth Factor Concentrate.
GFC Separation:
The GFC tubes are placed in a centrifuge and spun at high speed. This process separates the concentrated growth factors from other blood components, such as red and white blood cells, which helps reduce post-procedure discomfort.
Targeted Injection:
The extracted Growth Factor Concentrate is drawn into a syringe and injected directly into the targeted areas, such as the scalp for hair loss or the skin for rejuvenation. Once injected, the growth factors stimulate cell regeneration, repair tissues, and improve blood supply.
