GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate)

GFC: Growth Factor Concentrate Therapy

 

GFC or growth factor concentrate therapy is one of the most frequently used and effective treatments for treating hair fall. If you are one of them who is looking for a solution for your hair fall problems then GFC is the best you can get. Growth factor concentrate (GFC) comprises a constant quantity of growth factors obtained from a known number of platelets for therapeutic purposes. Cells, membranes, and foreign reagents and chemicals are absent from GFC. Some experts in the field of dermatology prefer PRP over GFC, however, you do not need to worry as we at the Cabelo Hair and Skin Clinic have professionals who understand everyone’s problem accurately and then proceed with the required treatment for each of our clients. In simple words, it can be said that GFC is nothing but a process where important growth factors are transmitted into the scalp to control hair fall and promote hair growth.

 

Why is GFC so popular?

Doctors around the globe prefer GFC therapy because it takes a minimal number of sessions to achieve desired results. On the other hand, clients also love this therapy as it is a relatively painless therapy. Nonetheless, keeping aside the fact of a lesser number of sessions and pain, GFC therapy has a great success rate too. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about GFC therapy which would give you a fair idea about the same.

 

1. How does PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma treatment work?

Ans: As the name suggests Growth factor concentrate treatment, the process deals with growth factors needed for healthier hair. In simpler terms, this is a non-surgical treatment where different growth factors are understood and collected; thereafter these factors are surgically planted in the scalp so that it can circulate more blood and as a result promotes hair growth.

 

2. Can GFC cure alopecia or baldness?

Ans: There is no such scientific way to regrow your strands from nothing. If one has some inactive follicles, GFC therapy helps to activate those follicles by providing the required growth factor components. So it can be said that, if you are suffering from progressive thinning of hair GFC therapy can stop this process. On the other hand, dormant follicles are also activated to start the restoration process of hair.

 

3. How much time does it take for a session of GFC?

Ans: Generally it does not take more than a session of pool game. Most of our clients spent 30 to 45 minutes of time getting Growth factor concentrate therapy. However, as these types of therapies are subjective, one might need more time than the average depending on the current condition of the client’s hair and their required results.

 

4. How efficacious is GFC therapy?

Ans: If you are one of them who is desperately trying to get rid of your hair problems, then you must be researching a lot about the same. One thing which you probably know is there are a lot of treatments that help with the hair restoration process. But the point which you might not be aware of is the fact that GFC is one of the most trusted processes of all.

5. How long does it take to achieve desired results?

Ans: Studies have proved that one can achieve results anywhere between 3 to 6 months of time. Again, as these types of therapies totally subjective, some of our clients received visible results within the first month of GFC therapy. One more thing which affects this time threshold is the fact of the amount of hair damage. Nonetheless, if you searching for a more generic answer, it is anywhere between 3 to 9 months of time.

 

6. Who is known to be the perfect candidate for GFC therapy?

Ans: Each and every healthy individual can go through this therapy who is not suffering from complete alopecia. By total baldness, we mean where there are no follicles present on the scalp which would help the hair to regrow. As Cabelo Skin and Hair clinic always says, it is not possible to grow new hair from nothing by using GFC therapy.

 

7. Which hair type is perfect for this therapy?

Ans: As this is a completely natural process of hair restoration, hair type does not affect Growth factor concentrate therapy. Our experienced practitioners will take care of you regardless of the type of your hair. In a word, be it smooth or curly, GFC or Growth Factor COncentrate therapy is for all.

8. Male or Female: Who is more suitable for this therapy?

Ans: Again the same rule applies. As this is a natural process, anyone can take this therapy for hair restoration. However, one thing which should be kept in mind is, that the number of sessions and time to get desired results may differ from male to female clients. The reason behind the same is, that the hair volumes of males and females are completely different. Depending on the volume of your hair, our physicians will guide you through the process.
