Years of experienceWHAT IS GROWTH FACTOR CONCENTRATE?
What is GFC?
GFC stands for Growth Factor Concentrate. It is prepared from a small sample of your blood and injected into selected areas of the scalp.
Platelets in your blood contain growth factors. The preparation process releases these into a fluid that can be collected for treatment. Your doctor will explain the preparation used and why it may suit your hair-loss pattern.
What it aims to do: support existing hair in areas of pattern thinning. It does not replace a hair transplant, and the amount of improvement varies.
IS IT FOR ME?
Who can have GFC?
- 01
Thinning at the crown
A gradually more visible crown can be a sign of pattern hair loss. Your doctor checks whether GFC has a useful role in your treatment plan.
- 02
Widening hair partition
A part that looks wider over time deserves a closer look. The cause, scalp health and degree of thinning guide the options.
- 03
Excessive daily shedding
Sudden shedding, round bare patches or a sore scalp can need a different approach. An assessment comes before choosing injections.
Your dermatologist will review your scalp, medical history and hair-loss pattern before confirming if GFC is right for you.
YOUR APPOINTMENT, EXPLAINED
How GFC works.
STEP 01
Prepare for your appointment
- Share your health history
Bring a list of medicines and tell your doctor about scalp problems, bleeding or platelet disorders and previous treatments. Do not stop prescribed medicine unless your prescriber advises it.
- Check your hair and scalp
Your dermatologist looks at the pattern of thinning and asks when it started. Tests may be suggested if the cause is unclear.
STEP 02
Preparation & scalp injections
- Prepare the concentrate
A small blood sample is collected. The preparation process releases growth factors from platelets and separates the fluid used for treatment.
- Treat the selected areas
The prepared fluid is injected into the scalp in the areas agreed with your doctor. Discuss numbing and comfort measures before treatment starts.
- Allow time for preparation
The appointment includes blood collection, preparation and scalp injections. Your clinic will explain the expected visit length and the specific preparation it uses.
STEP 03
Aftercare & follow-up
- Care for your scalp
Tenderness, redness or bruising can occur after injections. Follow the clinic’s instructions for washing and exercise. Contact the clinic promptly about worsening pain, swelling, discharge or fever.
- Agree a review plan
You may need several visits. The number and spacing depend on your diagnosis and response. Review progress over months rather than expecting an immediate change; maintenance or other treatment may be needed.

MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOUR CARE
Meet our doctors
01What is the difference between GFC and PRP?
Both start with your own blood. PRP is plasma with concentrated platelets. GFC preparation is intended to collect growth factors released from platelets. Preparation methods vary, so your doctor should explain the product, evidence and practical differences rather than choosing by the name alone.
02Can GFC help every type of hair loss?
No. Published GFC studies have mainly looked at pattern hair thinning. Sudden shedding, patchy loss and an inflamed scalp need their own assessment. GFC does not move new follicles into bald areas as a transplant does.
03How many sessions will I need?
There is no single schedule that suits everyone. Your doctor will explain a proposed course, when to review it and whether ongoing visits are worthwhile based on your response.
04Does GFC hurt?
Blood collection and scalp injections can cause discomfort. Ask about numbing and other comfort measures. Soreness, redness or bruising may follow; being prepared from your own blood does not make injections risk-free.
05When will I see a difference?
Hair changes take time. Progress is usually assessed over several months using comparable photographs and scalp examinations. Some people may not see a useful improvement, so agree when your plan should be reviewed.
06Can I continue my other hair treatment?
Your dermatologist may use GFC alongside another treatment when it suits your diagnosis. Tell them about medicines, supplements and clinic procedures you already use. Do not change a prescribed plan on your own.
07Is GFC the same as a hair transplant?
No. GFC involves scalp injections aimed at existing hair follicles. A transplant moves follicles from a donor area to a thinning or bald area. The two have different roles and should be discussed separately.
