Hair fall and thinning hair are common concerns today. Stress, hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle factors can affect the hair growth cycle. As a result, many people notice reduced hair density over time. Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) therapy is an advanced hair treatment that supports natural hair regrowth. It uses growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles.
At SkinVive, GFC therapy is performed under dermatologist supervision. The goal is to strengthen hair follicles, improve scalp health, and encourage healthier hair growth.
What is GFC for Hair?
GFC stands for Growth Factor Concentrate. It is a specialised hair treatment that uses concentrated growth factors extracted from a small sample of the patient’s blood.
During the procedure, blood is collected and processed using a specialised system. This process isolates purified growth factors that help repair and stimulate hair follicles.
When these growth factors are injected into the scalp, they activate weakened follicles. As a result, hair growth improves and hair fall may gradually reduce.
Compared to some other treatments, GFC uses highly concentrated growth factors, which may enhance follicle stimulation.
When is GFC treatment recommended?

What to expect from the procedure?
The procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.
First, a small sample of blood is collected. The sample is then processed to isolate concentrated growth factors. Next, the growth factor solution is injected into the scalp in areas affected by hair thinning. A numbing cream may be used to make the procedure more comfortable. After treatment, mild redness or tenderness may occur temporarily. Most people return to their daily routine shortly after the session.
Hair regrowth occurs gradually. Therefore, improvements are usually noticed over the following months.

How many sessions are required for GFC?
Hair growth happens in cycles. Because of this, multiple sessions may be recommended.
Many patients begin with a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may also be advised depending on individual response.
Your dermatologist will recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your hair condition.
