GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) uses a specialised kit to extract a purer concentrate of growth factors from your blood, with far fewer red and white cells than regular PRP.
It is often recommended when you want a stronger push for regrowth, or when PRP results have levelled off.
What is advanced GFC treatment?
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is a newer version of PRP. A specialised kit extracts a purer concentrate of growth factors from your blood, which is then injected into the scalp to support hair growth.
Who is advanced GFC treatment for?
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss after PRP has plateaued
- Receding hairline
It may not be the right time if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection in the treatment area, or have reacted badly to a similar treatment before. Dr. Kajal checks this at your consultation.
Why choose advanced GFC treatment at Dr. K?
- More concentrated growth factors
- Often fewer sessions than PRP
- Uses your own blood
How does advanced GFC treatment work?
- A small blood sample is taken.
- Growth factors are concentrated using a specialised kit.
- After numbing, the concentrate is injected into the scalp.
- 3 to 4 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart.
When will you see results?
Reduced hair fall is often noticed after the second session, with thicker hair over 3 to 6 months. Typical course: 3–4 sittings, 4–6 weeks apart.
What to expect on the day
Very similar to PRP on the day: a small blood draw, preparation, then injections into the scalp. Sessions take about an hour with no real downtime.
Aftercare
- Wait 12 to 24 hours before washing your hair.
- Avoid colour and chemical treatments for a few days.
- Follow your home care plan.
Is advanced GFC treatment safe?
Yes. It uses your own blood, so allergic reactions are unlikely. Mild scalp tenderness can occur for a day.
How much does advanced GFC treatment cost in Mumbai?
The cost depends on the number of sessions. It usually costs more per session than PRP because of the specialised kit. Book a consultation for an exact quote.
Advanced GFC Treatment: frequently asked questions
GFC or PRP: which is better?
GFC is a more concentrated form of growth factors and often needs fewer sessions. Dr. Kajal will suggest the right one after examining your scalp.
Is GFC painful?
Numbing cream keeps it comfortable. Most people feel only mild pressure.
When is GFC chosen over PRP?
GFC is often suggested when hair loss is moderate or when PRP results have levelled off. The decision is made after a scalp examination.
