What is GFC hair treatment? 

GFC hair treatment, short for Growth Factor Concentrate hair treatment, is an advanced and gentle procedure created to tackle different hair problems. In this treatment, a small amount of your blood is taken, and the growth factors are separated. These growth factors are then applied to your scalp. They work by waking up your hair follicles, encouraging hair growth, making it thicker, and improving its overall health. GFC treatment is gaining popularity because it can offer lasting results and is an attractive choice for people looking for a non-surgical way to address their hair issues.

​

GFC Hair Treatment Procedure: 

The Growth Factor Concentrate treatment or GFC hair treatment procedure is non-invasive and straightforward. It typically begins with a consultation with a trained specialist who assesses your hair health and discusses your concerns. The GFC hair treatment involves three main stages:

​

1. Blood Collection:

Initially, a small amount of blood is drawn, typically from your arm, similar to a regular blood test.

​

2. Growth Factors:

The collected blood is then processed to extract the growth factors essential for the treatment.

​

3. Inject Treatment Area:

These growth factors are carefully injected into the areas of your scalp that need treatment using tiny micro-injections that target the hair roots.

The GFC Treatment procedure usually takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on how many areas of your scalp are being treated. Most patients experience minimal to no pain during the GFC treatment, however, some individuals may opt for a topical numbing cream to reduce any potential discomfort.

​

The recovery period after the GFC treatment is typically very short. Some patients may report a mild headache or slight discomfort immediately after treatment, but these effects usually last only about an hour.

This treatment is generally well-tolerated and involves minimal discomfort, making it a popular choice for those seeking hair rejuvenation.

 

What are the benefits of GFC hair treatment?

GFC hair treatment is a great choice if you want to improve your hair. It makes your hair grow better and healthier by stimulating hair follicles. The best part is that it's natural because it comes from your blood, making it safe and not very invasive. GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) hair treatment offers several benefits:

  1. Natural and Safe: GFC treatment uses growth factors extracted from your own blood, making it a natural and safe option with minimal risk of allergic reactions or side effects.

  2. Stimulates Hair Growth: It effectively stimulates hair follicles, promoting the growth of new hair and increasing hair density.

  3. Improved Hair Health: GFC treatment enhances the overall health and quality of your existing hair, making it look shinier and more vibrant.

  4. Long-Lasting Results: Unlike some other treatments, the results of GFC treatment can last for a significant period, potentially up to a year or more, reducing the need for frequent follow-up treatments.

  5. Minimal Downtime: The procedure is relatively simple and minimally invasive, typically requiring very little downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities quickly.

  6. Personalized Solution: GFC treatment can be tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a personalized approach that addresses your specific hair concerns.

  7. Non-Surgical: It is a non-surgical option, making it appealing to those who prefer to avoid surgical interventions.

  8. Minimal Discomfort: Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, with the option to use topical numbing cream for further comfort.

  9. Versatility: GFC treatment can be used to address various hair-related issues, including hair thinning, hair loss, and improving hair texture.

  10. Natural-Looking Results: The results of GFC treatment tend to look natural, avoiding an artificial or "plastic" appearance sometimes associated with other hair restoration methods.

  11. Boosts Confidence: Improved hair appearance often leads to increased self-confidence and a positive self-image.

 

Does GFC Hair Treatment have Side Effects and Risks? 

GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) for hair loss is generally considered a safe procedure, but like any medical treatment, it comes with potential side effects and risks:

1. Mild Discomfort:

During GFC treatment, a few people might feel slight discomfort or pain at the injection sites. This happens because of the injections, but it's usually not too bad. Doctors often use local anesthesia to make it less painful and ensure a more comfortable experience.

2. Swelling or Redness:

It's normal to see some temporary swelling and redness at the injection sites after GFC hair treatment. These effects are usually minor and go away on their own within a few days. They're just part of the healing process and nothing to worry about. some individuals may experience itching or tingling sensations on the scalp, which typically diminish over time.

3. Bruising:

In some cases, there might be a little bruising at the injection sites. But it's typically not a big deal. The bruising is usually small, and it goes away pretty quickly. It's just your body's response to the injections, and it won't cause any long-term problems.

4. Infection:

While the risk of infection at the injection sites is rare, it's still something to be cautious about. To reduce this risk, it's important to follow the aftercare instructions your doctor gives you. This means keeping the treated area clean and practising good hygiene to prevent infections.

5. Allergic Reactions:

​

Allergic reactions to GFC components are extremely rare, but they can happen. If you know you're allergic to certain things, make sure you let us know before getting GFC hair treatment. This way, your treatment plan can be adjusted to avoid anything you're allergic to and ensure your experience is safe.

 

As with all hair loss treatments, results vary from person to person and we cannot guarantee results.
