How is GFC different from PRP?

GFC involves a more refined extraction of concentrated growth factors with reduced inflammatory components, delivering a purer regenerative profile.

Yes. Since it uses the patient's own blood components, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low under sterile medical supervision.

How many sessions are required?

For hair restoration, typically 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance depending on response.

When will hair regrowth become visible?

Hair fall reduction may begin within 4–6 weeks. Visible density improvement typically appears over 3–6 months.

Is there downtime after the procedure?

Mild scalp tenderness or swelling may occur for 24–48 hours. Normal activity can usually resume the same day.

Can it treat advanced baldness?

GFC is most effective in early to moderate thinning where active follicles are present.

Does it work for female hair thinning?

Yes. It is commonly used for female pattern thinning and stress-related hair fall.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes, medical therapy, microneedling or exosomes based on clinical indication.

Who should avoid GFC?

Patients with active infections, severe platelet disorders, uncontrolled diabetes or certain systemic illnesses may not be suitable.

Overview

What is GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) Therapy?

Growth Factors Concentrate is a regenerative treatment in which a patient's own blood is processed to extract highly concentrated growth factors. These are applied or injected into the skin or scalp to support hair regrowth, collagen stimulation, skin rejuvenation and scar repair.

At Own Skin, GFC protocols are structured around clinical indication, hair thinning, early alopecia, dermal thinning or post-acne scarring, ensuring controlled, biologically guided regeneration.

Sessions (hair): 3–4, 4–6 weeks apart
Results: Fall reduction 4–6 weeks; density 3–6 months
Downtime: Mild tenderness 24–48 hours
Source: Your own blood (autologous)

How it works

How GFC Therapy works

01
Clinical assessment
Hair density, scalp condition or dermal quality is evaluated to determine candidacy.
02
Blood collection
A small sample of blood is drawn under sterile conditions.
03
Growth factor isolation
A specialised processing protocol extracts concentrated growth factors.
04
Targeted application or injection
The concentrated solution is precisely injected into scalp or skin areas requiring regeneration.
05
Gradual biological activation
Growth factors stimulate follicular cells or dermal fibroblasts, promoting repair and strengthening over time.
