What Is GFC Hair Treatment?

Growth Factor Concentrate, or GFC, is an autologous treatment in which a patient’s own blood is processed to prepare a growth-factor-rich concentrate.
The concentrate is then delivered to selected areas of the scalp as part of a personalised hair-loss treatment plan.

Hair Concerns GFC May Be Considered For

Why Hair Loss Should Be Assessed Before GFC

Hair loss can have different causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional factors, stress, medical conditions and scalp-related concerns.
GFC may be appropriate for selected patients, but treatment planning should begin with understanding the likely cause and stage of hair loss.

How GFC Hair Treatment Works

  1. A small blood sample is collected.
  2. The sample is processed to prepare a growth-factor concentrate.
  3. The scalp areas being treated are identified.
  4. The concentrate is delivered using small injections.
  5. Follow-up sessions are planned according to individual response.

GFC vs PRP: Why Growth Factor Concentrate is Advanced

Both PRP and GFC are autologous treatments derived from the patient’s own blood, but they are prepared differently.
PRP contains a platelet-rich plasma fraction, while GFC preparation is designed to isolate a concentrate containing selected growth factors.
The choice between treatments depends on the individual’s hair-loss pattern, treatment history and clinical assessment.

Your Body’s Own Power, Reimagined for Skin Renewal

At SkinLab, we elevate traditional PRP with Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) Therapy — a cutting-edge treatment that delivers faster, more visible results, all with minimal discomfort.

Your blood naturally contains potent growth factors — powerful cellular messengers that trigger repair, regeneration, and collagen production. Using advanced centrifugation technology, we isolate and concentrate these growth factors, creating a supercharged formula that we deliver directly to your skin for targeted transformation.

The SkinLab GFC Experience

What GFC Therapy Can Do for You

Performed exclusively by SkinLab’s expert doctors using the highest standards of hygiene and sterile, single-use equipment, GFC Therapy is the ultimate natural, non-surgical solution to rejuvenate  the skin.

What Happens During a GFC Hair Consultation?

  1. Hair-loss history
  2. Scalp and density assessment
  3. Discussion of possible triggers
  4. Review of previous treatments
  5. Assessment of whether GFC is suitable
  6. Personalised treatment plan
  7. Follow-up and maintenance guidance

How Many GFC Sessions Are Needed?

The number and spacing of GFC sessions vary according to the cause and stage of hair loss, treatment plan and individual response.
Your doctor will recommend an appropriate schedule after assessment.

When Can Results Be Seen?

Hair growth is gradual, so changes are usually assessed over time rather than after a single session.
Response varies according to the cause of hair loss, treatment stage, individual biology and adherence to the recommended treatment plan.

Can GFC Stop Hair Loss Permanently?

No treatment should be presented as a guaranteed permanent solution for all types of hair loss.
GFC may help support hair density and scalp treatment in selected cases, but ongoing management may be required depending on the underlying cause.

GFC for Post-Pregnancy Hair Shedding

Hair shedding after pregnancy can have different causes and often changes over time.
A consultation helps determine whether GFC is appropriate or whether observation, medical evaluation or another treatment approach is more suitable.

SkinLab's Approach to GFC Hair Treatment

  1. Hair-loss assessment before treatment
  2. Cause and stage considered
  3. Autologous treatment approach
  4. Personalised treatment planning
  5. Sterile clinical protocol
  6. Follow-up based on individual response
  7. Combination treatment considered where appropriate

SkinLab’s approach focuses on understanding the reason for hair loss before recommending GFC. The treatment is used as part of an individualised hair-restoration plan rather than as a one-size-fits-all solution.
