GROWTH FACTOR CONCENTRATE - GFC
WHAT IS GFC?
Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) is a non-surgical hair treatment prepared from a small sample of your own blood. During processing, platelets are activated to release growth factors—naturally occurring proteins involved in cell signalling and tissue repair. The growth-factor-rich liquid is then collected and injected into areas of scalp thinning.
​
The aim is to support existing hair follicles and the environment around them, potentially improving hair growth and density. Early research is encouraging, particularly for male and female pattern hair loss, although results vary and long-term evidence is still developing.
​
Unlike PRP, which concentrates platelets within plasma, GFC focuses on collecting the growth factors released during preparation.
Could GFC be suitable for you?
MALE PATTERN HAIR
LOSS
Hairline recession, thinning through the top or crown.
FEMALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS
DIFFUSE THINNING
Widening part, reduced density or thinning through the top.
A more general reduction in hair density across the scalp.
EARLY TO MODERATE HAIR LOSS
Best considered while active hair follicles are still present.
GFC may be considered for men and women experiencing thinning hair where existing follicles are still present. Your hair-loss pattern, scalp health and individual circumstances will help determine whether GFC may be an appropriate option.
GFC Process
1. DRAW BLOOD
A small amount of your blood is collected.
2. LEAVE TO STAND
The blood is left to stand for approximately 15–30 minutes.
3. CENTRIFUGE
The sample is processed to concentrate the growth factors.15–30 minutes.
4. INJECT
The prepared concentrate is carefully injected into the treatment area..
Your GFC Treatment
Your appointment begins with a review of your treatment area and preparation of the GFC system.
​
A small amount of blood is collected and left to stand for approximately 15–30 minutes. It is then centrifuged to separate and concentrate the growth factors.
The prepared Growth Factor Concentrate is carefully injected into the areas of the scalp being treated.
​
Your GFC appointment generally takes around 45–60 minutes, and most clients can return to their normal activities afterwards.
