GFC Therapy

GFC Therapy For Hair Loss

Growth Factor Concentrate Therapy (GFC) is a treatment that involves using a concentrated growth factor extracted from a patient’s blood cells to promote natural tissue regeneration. Blood platelets contain various growth factors extracted at high concentrations using a specially designed kit.

This non-invasive and safe procedure has no platelet loss and is non-pyrogenic, making it an effective way to regenerate damaged tissues naturally. GFC therapy is commonly used as a hair loss treatment and can provide noticeable results in just a few sessions.

What is GFC?

GFC: the tube is impregnated with a derived form of extra growth factor concentrate, GFC treatment is the most advanced method of PRP and acts as faster recovery with double strength

It’s your own blood cell that involves the separation of a concentrated form of platelets from the patient’s own whole blood with the help of high-speed stable centrifuge machine at 3500 rpm speed

GFC (GROWTH FACTOR CONCENTRATION) is a medical procedure to repair regenerate and regrowth your damaged hair

PRP contains several different growth factors and other cytokines that can play a crucial role in the human body’s natural healing process, containing growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.

How GFC PRP Works for Hair Treatment?

In hair treatment, GFC PRP stimulates hair follicles, thus encouraging hair growth and improving hair thickness.

GFC (Growth Factor concentrate) Therapy

GFC Is a pure, safe, highly concentrated growth factor prepared from patients’ blood.

In GFC treatment, injecting higher concentrations of growth factors better than only platelets are extracted from the patient’s own whole blood.
GFC is safe, pure, acellular, and completely autologous.
GFC is injected directly into the scalp or skin and your own growth factors are delivered in high concentration to promote hair growth and improve hair thinning.

Treatment Plan

GFC therapy Needs 3-4 sessions which are done at intervals of one month.

How Does GFC Differ From PRP?

PRP involves extracting the patient’s blood, separating the platelets, and injecting the entire serum into the scalp.
The injected platelets then gradually release the growth factors that provide the intended results.
Alpha and dense granules are the two main granule kinds found in platelets.
Alpha granules contain specific proteins, such as VEGF, EGF, and IGF, that are necessary for hair regrowth. While During the process of PRP, both types of granules are released.
But in the GFC process, we utilize certain tubes with a patented activator that only activates the platelets’ alpha granules. As a result, we get the plasma that contains special proteins which are higher concentrations of growth factors that help to promote hair development.

How to Perform GFC for Hair Treatment?

Steps of GFC preparation for hair growth and hair loss are as follows.

Blood Collection: Approximately 15-16ml of peripheral blood is collected from the patient, typically from the arm. It is collected in a small tube designed specifically for this purpose.
Platelet Activation and Growth Factor Release: The blood in the tubes is gently mixed by inverting them 6-10 times and then left to stand for approximately 30 minutes. The platelets in the blood are activated by a proprietary platelet-activating solution present in the tubes, which helps to release various growth factors such as PDGF, TGF, VEGF, EGF, and IGF-1 from the platelets.
GFC Separation in a Centrifuge: The collected blood is then processed in a centrifuge machine at speed of 3500 rpm for 7-10 min to separate the GFC from other blood components.
GFC Extraction: After the centrifugation process GROWTH FACTOR CONCENTRATION is collected in syringes and prepared for injection.
Preparation of site: First clean the target area with an antiseptic solution and then give local anesthesia to make it painless.

GFC Injection: The GFC is injected into specific areas of the scalp using very fine needles.

PGF and Cytokines	Cell Sources	Function and Effects
PDGF (AA-BB-AB)	Platelets, endothelial cells, macrophages, smooth muscle cells	Mitogenic for mesenchymal cells and osteoblasts; stimulates chemotaxis and mitogenesis in fibroblast/ glial/smooth muscle cells; regulates collagenase secretion and collagen synthesis; stimulates macrophage and neutrophil chemotaxis
TGF (α–β)	Macrophages, T lymphocytes, keratinocytes	Stimulates undifferentiated mesenchymal cell proliferation; regulates endothelial, fibroblastic, and osteoblastic mitogenesis; regulates collagen synthesis and collagenase secretion; regulates mitogenic effects of other growth factors; stimulates endothelial chemotaxis and angiogenesis; inhibits macrophage and lymphocyte proliferation
VEGF	Platelets, macrophages, keratinocytes, endothelial cells	Increases angiogenesis and vessel permeability; stimulates mitogenesis for endothelial cells
EGF	Platelets, macrophages, monocytes	Proliferation of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, stimulates mitogenesis for endothelial cells

TNF	Macrophages, mast cells, T lymphocytes	Regulates monocyte migration, fibroblast proliferation, macrophage activation, angiogenesis

FAQ

1. What is GFC therapy for hair loss?

GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) therapy is an advanced treatment for hair loss that uses growth factors extracted from a patient’s own blood. These growth factors are injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicle activity, boost hair regrowth, and improve thickness. It is safe, natural, and minimally invasive.

2. How is GFC therapy different from PRP treatment?

While both use a patient’s blood, GFC therapy extracts and concentrates only growth factors, offering a purer, more potent formula than PRP. GFC activates only alpha granules in platelets, maximizing regenerative proteins. PRP includes whole plasma with platelets, whereas GFC provides higher precision and efficacy in hair regrowth.

3. Is GFC hair treatment effective for hair regrowth?

Yes, GFC therapy has shown promising results in reducing hair fall and stimulating new growth. The high concentration of purified growth factors targets dormant hair follicles, reactivating them naturally. Many patients experience visible improvement in density and texture after 3–4 sessions, especially in early-stage androgenetic alopecia.

4. How many sessions of GFC therapy are needed for visible results?

Typically, 3 to 4 GFC sessions are recommended, spaced about one month apart. Some patients may require maintenance sessions every 6–12 months. Visible improvements such as reduced shedding and better hair thickness usually begin after the second session and become more noticeable after the third or fourth treatment.

5. What are the side effects of GFC therapy for hair?

GFC therapy is generally safe since it uses the patient’s own blood. Mild side effects may include slight redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects are temporary and resolve within 24–48 hours. There is minimal risk of allergic reaction or infection if performed properly.

6. Is GFC therapy painful or does it require anesthesia?

GFC therapy involves multiple microinjections into the scalp, which can cause minor discomfort. To make the procedure virtually painless, a local anesthetic or numbing cream is usually applied beforehand. Most patients tolerate the session well and report only mild soreness afterward that subsides quickly.

7. What is the cost of GFC treatment in India?

The cost of GFC therapy in India typically ranges from ₹7,000 to ₹15,000 per session, depending on the clinic, city, and doctor’s expertise. Full treatment plans (3–4 sessions) may cost between ₹25,000 to ₹50,000. Prices are often competitive compared to international markets, with high-quality care available.

8. How long does it take to see results from GFC therapy?

Results from GFC therapy usually become visible after 2–3 sessions, or about 2–3 months. Patients often notice reduced hair fall early on, followed by improved hair density and texture. Final results may take 4–6 months to fully appear, depending on individual response and hair loss severity.

9. What is the success rate of GFC?

GFC therapy has shown a success rate of over 80% in early-to-moderate hair loss cases, particularly androgenetic alopecia. Most patients experience a noticeable improvement in hair thickness and reduced shedding. However, success varies based on age, health condition, and consistency in completing the full treatment plan.

10. Is GFC therapy permanent or are repeat sessions required?

GFC therapy is not a permanent cure but offers long-lasting improvement. Hair regrowth may stabilize with initial sessions, but maintenance treatments every 6–12 months are usually recommended to sustain results. Since hair loss is often progressive, ongoing care helps preserve gains and prevent further thinning.
