What is GFC?
GFC is a next-generation regenerative treatment that uses highly concentrated growth factors extracted from your own blood. These natural proteins stimulate hair regrowth, skin repair, and collagen production — chemical-free, safe, and scientifically backed.
Primary Applications
- Hair Restoration (especially in cases of androgenetic alopecia)
- Skin Rejuvenation (for anti-aging, acne scars, and texture improvement)
How Does GFC Work?
GFC therapy involves a sophisticated process that concentrates the most potent growth factors from your blood to achieve superior results compared to traditional treatments.
- Blood Collection: Blood is drawn from the patient (similar to a routine blood test).
- Advanced Processing: It is then processed in a lab using a special closed system kit that separates and concentrates growth factors like PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and TGF.
- Pure Growth Factor Isolation: These pure growth factors are extracted, providing a more concentrated solution than traditional PRP.
- Precise Application: The concentrated growth factors are injected into the scalp or skin using microneedling or mesotherapy techniques.
- Cellular Activation: Growth factors stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and cell regeneration in the treated area.
GFC vs PRP – What's Better?
While both treatments use your own blood, GFC offers several advantages over traditional PRP therapy:
Key Advantages of GFC:
- Growth Factor Purity: GFC provides higher purity compared to PRP's moderate concentration
- Efficacy: More consistent results versus PRP which varies by individual
- Comfort: Lesser pain and inflammation (due to absence of RBC/WBC)
- Recovery: Quicker healing time compared to PRP
- Efficiency: Fewer sessions required (3-4 vs 6+ for PRP)
