GFC Hairfall Treatment with Microneedling in Nepal – Growth Factor Concentrate

If you want to grow your hair back naturally, you can now get GFC Hair Treatment in Nepal at Akarshan Skin and Hair Clinic.

Is GFC Treatment is best for all gender?

GFC Treatment is best for men and women of all ages who are witnessing the first signs of alopecia, or early hair loss. You will start noticing the amazing hair regrowth effects of this procedure in no more than four sessions.

The GFC Hair Treatment delays your need to undergo hair transplant surgery and also maintains hair volume until the time when you ultimately need the surgery.

Because of the non-invasive, convenient, and affordable nature of this new-generation treatment procedure, the GFC Hair Treatment has gained worldwide popularity, and Akarshan Skin and Hair Clinic is elated to introduce it to Nepal.

How Does GFC Hair Treatment Help My Hair Grow?

In simple words, the Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) treatment uses your blood’s platelets to stimulate hair regrowth. This is a non-surgical procedure and is completely safe. (Research)

Platelets are small, colorless cell fragments in our blood that contain numerous growth factors. When injected into the scalp region of your head, it causes the thickness and density of hair to improve over time. Furthermore, it also enhances blood supply to the region, which boosts overall hair health.

Do not let the blood part freak you out either. Dermatologists only draw a minimal 15ml of blood which is nothing to worry about. For comparison, 350-450ml of blood is drawn at a single blood donation sitting.

The blood extract is then activated for platelets and the Growth Factor Concentrate is extracted from the sample. With utmost care and precision, our dermatologists at Akarshan Skin and Hair Clinic administer the GFC to the target area.

GFC Treatment and PRP Treatment

In a lot of ways, the GFC Treatment is similar to the PRP treatment for hair growth. However, the latest technology and science make it possible to extract higher concentrations of growth factors from the blood.

PRP and GFC both contain growth factors but PRP has a higher concentration of platelets. Meanwhile, GFC is focused on obtaining a broader spectrum and higher concentration of growth factors. The GFC treatment removes unnecessary blood cells and ensures a more targeted treatment of the underlying cause of alopecia.

Furthermore, the GFC extracted from this procedure can be stored longer, while the procedure takes far less time. Either way, you can receive the GFC Treatment with no pain and minimal chances of inflammation or infection.

How to Prepare For Your GFC Treatment Session

• Don’t use aspirin and blood thinners 2-3 days before the procedure.
• Stay away from narcotic drugs (Morphine, Codeine, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Fentanyl, Methadone) for 2-3 days before the GFC treatment.
• Ask your doctor about any needed blood tests.
• Your dermatologist will apply anesthetic cream 30-45 minutes before the GFC treatment.

What To Do After Your GFC Treatment Session

• Stay away from activities that make your scalp sweat for about a week after the procedure.
• After getting GFC therapy, don’t comb your hair or scalp for a day.
• During the first week of the treatment, drink plenty of water.
• Use the medicine your doctor provides and check with them before using any hair products.
• If needed or as advised by your doctor, apply an ice pack to reduce swelling.
• Keep your scalp away from heat and sun for 2-3 days following the GFC treatment.
• If you’re wondering when to wash your hair after GFC, wait 1-2 days and avoid using shampoo.
• Don’t smoke, and avoid alcohol and caffeine for 3 days after GFC therapy.

What Growth Factors Does GFC Treatment Use? (Slightly Technical Section)

GFC treatment harnesses various growth factors found in blood platelets to promote tissue regeneration and repair, as well as stimulate stem cell activities like proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Each growth factor within GFC plays a specific role in combating hair loss.

Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF): PDGF increases hair growth and stimulates processes known as Vascularization and Angiogenesis. It plays a role in the multiplication of mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial cells, and the proliferation and movement of fibroblasts, which all contribute to hair growth.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): Found in DP cells during the anagen phase of hair, VEGF regulates perifollicular angiogenesis, enhancing blood vessel growth around hair follicles. It also enlarges perifollicular vessels during the anagen growth phase, facilitating a smoother process.

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): EGF supports the proliferation and regeneration of hair cells and stimulates the multiplication of mesenchymal and epithelial cells. Additionally, it collaborates in promoting angiogenesis.

Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1): IGF-1 maintains hair follicle growth, enhances overall hair growth, and acts as a stimulator for angiogenesis.

In this way, each of these growth factors contributes uniquely to the effectiveness of GFC treatment in addressing hair loss concerns. However, note that GFC treatment alone is not a complete solution to Telogen effluvium or alopecia (hairfall) but works best with medications and lifestyle improvements. Other treatment modalities like stem cells therapy are also effective for hairfall treatment.

GFC Hair Treatment with Microneedling

While the GFC procedure has its own benefits for hair, microneedling stimulates hair follicles by promoting increased blood flow and the release of growth factors. When done together, microneedling will help in better absorption of medications like Minoxidil and Procapil.
Minoxidil and Procapil are two medications commonly used in hair treatments to address hair loss and promote hair growth.
