GFC Hair Treatment

What is GFC Hair Therapy?

Hair loss is a universally shared and acknowledged concern. More than 80 per cent of men and approximately 50 per cent of women experience hair loss, making it a global issue. However, hair loss is not a permanent problem, provided you take immediate and effective measures—Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) therapy is a modern dermatology solution to reduce hair loss.

This non-invasive treatment increases hair thickness, strengthens hair roots, and accelerates hair growth by activating concentrated growth factors from a patient’s own blood cells to trigger the hair growth hormone in damaged hair and regrow hair naturally.

Platelets store various growth factors. Therefore, during this treatment, the growth factors are injected directly into the scalp so they reach the roots and nourish them, stimulating hair growth, revitalising hair follicles, and improving hair volume in the process. Furthermore, since this treatment does not require heat, it heals and repairs damaged issues and retains the platelet count.

Growth Factors Associated With GCF Hair Therapy

Blood platelets contain growth factors vital for regenerating injured tissues and migrating, facilitating, and differentiating stem cells. Thus, GFC treatment offers a thorough way of fighting and repairing hair loss. When extracted from platelets in concentrated amounts, they are kept in a GFC kit under controlled conditions.

Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1): IGF-1 is an important growth factor in charge of maintaining hair growth speed and consistency, increasing hair volume, and stimulating new blood vessels.

Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF): PDGF increases hair development and is also a crucial component in stimulating angiogenesis, which is the generation of new blood cells, and vascularisation, which is the development of blood vessels in specific organs or body parts. Additionally, it supports the mitogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that create and repair skeletal tissues, such as bone marrow fat and cartilage.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): VEGF speeds up the development of new blood vessels. During the anagen stage of hair growth, when the cells present in the hair roots rapidly divide to generate new hair, VEGF increases perifollicular vessels and ensures consistent perifollicular angiogenesis.

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): EGF oversees the proliferation and regeneration of hair cells, contributes to angiogenesis stimulation, and aids the mitogenesis of MSCs and epithelial cells.

What are the Benefits of GFC Hair Treatment?

GFC hair treatment is an effective hair loss process that injects growth factors into the scalp in high concentrations to accelerate hair development and minimise hair loss. Furthermore, this treatment helps everyone experiencing hair loss, regardless of age or gender. Labelle’s experienced and skilled dermatologists use cutting-edge technology and expertise to deliver the best results and ensure hair regeneration.

No More Hair Fall

This treatment nourishes and strengthens hair roots to prevent hair fall.

Safe and Healthy

GFC therapy combats hair loss and hair fall safely and painlessly. Since it’s a non-invasive procedure, it is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is entirely pain-free, requires no surgery, and has zero downtime.

Better Hair Quality

GFC hair procedure gets to the root of hair problems and repairs hair follicles and grafts to improve hair volume, density, shine, and health.

Quick Procedure

In addition to no downtime, GFC shows impressive results in 3-5 sessions.

Alopecia Solution

If neglected in the initial stages, alopecia can reach an irreversible stage. GFC treatment fixes alopecia in its early phases by nourishing the scalp and strengthening the hair roots and stem cells.

How is GFC Therapy Different from PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment has been the most popular and go-to hair loss solution for decades. Using various single- and double-spin methods, PRP used parts of the blood plasma with a platelet concentration above the fixed benchmark. However, this treatment has faced multiple challenges over the years, such as difficulties in removing red and white blood cells, slow healing, post-procedural pain, and inflammation.

On the other hand, despite also extracting growth factors from the patient’s platelets, GFC treatment obtains growth factors in high concentration after triggering platelet activation. Therefore, it ensures the platelet count keeps increasing, there is no platelet or blood loss, and the procedure remains safe and non-invasive. Moreover, unlike PRP, growth factors can be stored in a specialised kit at room temperature for eight hours. Considering all angles, GFC is pain-free, shows zero downtime, delivers quick results, and prevents infection by using the patient’s own blood.

Price of GFC Hair Therapy

The GFC hair treatment cost depends on factors such as the affected area, skin type, hair texture, and the total number of sessions.
