About Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC)
Growth Factor Concentration or GFC is a highly concentrated growth factor preparation prepared from a person’s own blood for superior results in hair loss and facial rejuvenation treatment.
Various growth factors are stored in platelets. These growth factors from a person’s own blood are extracted in high concentration as a GFC in specially designed Kits. This GFC is injected into the scalp & skin (face and neck), thus, delivering growth factors at high concentration. This results in regeneration and repair.
Any candidate in their early or late stage of baldness, fine wrinkles, or facial rejuvenation are the best candidate for GFC therapy and it is equally effective in both males and females.
What Growth Factors Does GFC Treatment Rely On?
Our platelets store various growth factors which support regeneration, tissue repair and stem cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): It boosts perifollicular (around hair follicle)angiogenesis(new blood vessel formation) in hair and enhances perifollicular vessel size during anagen.
- Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): It supports the growth and repair of hair cells. It works by multiplying specific types of cells in the body, surrounding tissues, and outer layers.
- Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF): It aids in the multiplication of stem and endothelial cells.
- Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1): It contributes to the development of hair follicles, accelerates hair growth, and stimulates angiogenesis.
