What is GFC Therapy?

Autologous Growth Factor Concentrate Therapy is pure, highly safe, bio-active grade concentrated growth factor preparation engineered from your own blood for superior results in inducing natural hair growth without any need for surgeries of invasive techniques.

Why GFC Therapy?

It’s the latest advancement in hair regrowth therapies, providing high concentrate of patient’s own growth factor harvested from the platelets , in comparison to use of concentrated platelets in PRP. A proprietary platelet activator is used to release various growth factors from α-granules of platelets to GFC. Since the platelets are activated prior to centrifugation, the process ensures no platelet loss and all platelets release growth factors from α- granules. It is pure, completely acellular, autologous and highly safe.

Why does GFC work in hair loss therapy?

GFC solutions prepared have various growth factors namely PDGF, VEGF,EGF, IGF-1 in high concentration, which are released from α-granules of platelets upon activation.

Growth Factor Function
Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
  • Increase hair growth
  • Vascularization & Angiogenesis stimulator
  • Mitogenesis of mesenchymal cells
  • Proliferation and chemotaxis of fibroblasts
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
  • Expressed in DP cells in the anagen phase of hair
  • Regulates perifollicular angiogenesis
  • Increases perifollicular vessel during anagen phase
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
  • Hair cell proliferation and regeneration
  • Stimulates mitogenesis of mesenchymal and epithelial cells
  • Co-stimulates angiogenesis
Insulin like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)
  • Increases hair growth
  • Maintains HF growth
  • Angiogenesis stimulator

What is the procedure?

  • Step 1:Collection of blood
  • Step 2:Activation of platelets and release of GF’s
  • Step 3:Separation of GFC using specialized precision laboratory equipment.
  • Step 4:Collection of GFC under strict aseptic methods to allow maximum recovery of GFC
  • Step 5:Intradermal application of GFC. Normal colour of final output can range from yellow- yellowish brown-orange to reddish. However colour range has no effect on quantity and viability of growth factors.

Advantages of novel GFC therapy for Hairloss

  • No platelet loss and high concentration of growth factors
    • Almost all platelets are activated prior to centrifugation with the help of platelet activator present in the kit
    • Subsequent centrifugation allows growth factors like PDGF, VEGF, EGF, IGF, FGF,KGF, TGFb to get super concentrated in a supernatant suspension .
  • Completely acellular and reduced risk of pain & inflammation.
    • Contains only high concentration of Growth factors and no cells like RBC or WBC.
    • RBC’s which are eliminated during the process negates the concern of creating a more viscous solution, which makes the GFC less painful when administered. Elimination of WBC, which are pro-inflammatory and may increase pain and tissue damage and inflammation post treatment.
  • Excellent stability - stable upto 8 hours at room temperature and in refrigerator at 4°C for a week.
  • Safe option - since its made from patient’s own blood (autologous harvest) , there are no chances of immunological reactions and is hence considered as one of safest options for treatment.
  • Zero contamination – no additives are used separately ensuring a closed environment for GFC preperations and thus minimise the risk of contamination.
  • Simple procedure and no operator - dependent variation
  • Desired results – discernable changes are apparent within 6-12 weeks

What are the possible side effects?

  • Since GFC is an acellular therapy , it doesn’t contain any RBC’s or WBC’s . hence the of pain and inflammation because of GFC itself is minimal .
  • Pain: Pain is usually minimal and most patients are given regular pain control medications is sufficient to keep the patient comfortable post procedure.
  • GFC therapy involves injecting autologous GFC into the scalp; there is no risk of getting a communicable disease.
  • However, any treatment that involves injections carries a risk of side-effects such as injection site pain, injury to blood vessels or nerves , infection, scar tissue.
