GFC hair therapy
Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) is a next-generation advancement over PRP therapy. By extracting and concentrating only the active growth factors from your blood, GFC delivers a more potent, consistent, and pure treatment for hair regrowth.
What is GFC Therapy for Hair?
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) therapy is an advanced autologous treatment that extracts pure growth factors from your blood platelets. Unlike PRP, which injects the entire platelet-rich plasma, GFC isolates and concentrates just the growth factors - eliminating red blood cells, white blood cells, and other inflammatory components.
This results in a purer, more concentrated treatment that delivers higher levels of beneficial growth factors (PDGF, TGF-beta, VEGF, EGF, IGF) directly to hair follicles. The absence of inflammatory cells also means less scalp irritation post-treatment.
Clinical studies have shown GFC to be more effective than standard PRP for hair regrowth, with more consistent results and fewer sessions needed.
How GFC Therapy Works
Blood Collection
A small blood sample (16-20ml) is drawn from your arm using the proprietary GFC kit.
Growth Factor Extraction
The blood is processed using a specialized protocol that activates platelets and extracts pure growth factors while removing all cellular components.
Quality Verification
The resulting concentrate is verified for growth factor concentration - typically 10-15x more concentrated than standard PRP.
Scalp Injection
The pure growth factor concentrate is injected into the scalp at the follicular level using micro-needles. Session takes 30-40 minutes.

GFC extracts only the pure growth factors from platelets, removing all cellular components (RBCs, WBCs). This produces a more concentrated, consistent, and pure treatment. GFC typically achieves 10-15x growth factor concentration vs 5-7x for PRP.
The standard protocol is 3-4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 4-6 months. Fewer sessions are typically needed compared to PRP.
Clinical evidence suggests GFC delivers superior results due to higher growth factor concentration and purity. However, both treatments are effective. Dr. Shah will recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
Most patients notice reduced hair fall within 3-4 weeks and visible improvement in thickness and density by 2-3 months (after 2-3 sessions).
GFC is very well-tolerated. Since it uses your own blood and removes inflammatory cells, side effects are minimal - typically just mild tenderness at injection sites for 24 hours.
Absolutely. GFC therapy before and after transplant surgery can significantly enhance graft survival and accelerate hair growth. We offer combination protocols.
