Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC)

Patient at Akarshan Clinic receiving the Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) Hair Treatment

Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) is a popular injection treatment for hair loss, commonly used in Nepal. It involves drawing your blood, which is then processed to separate GFC. This concentrated solution is injected into the scalp, where it helps hair follicles grow healthier and thicker.  in akarshan skin clinic we do microneedling by dermapen for effective absorption of medicines with every gfc treatment.

How Does GFC Work?

Our blood helps heal and repair tissues by supplying essential nutrients. It consists of four main components: plasma, platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells.

To create GFC, about 10 ml of blood is taken and centrifuged for about 40 minutes. After this process, GFC is separated and injected into the scalp. Both GFC and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are non-surgical treatments for hair loss available in Nepal.

What’s the Difference Between GFC and PRP?

While GFC and PRP are similar and effective for hair loss, GFC requires more preparation time and has a higher concentration of growth factors than PRP.

Benefits of Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) for Hair:

  • Reduces hair fall
  • Keeps hair healthy
  • Regenerates scalp tissue and hair follicles
  • Promotes hair growth and thickness
  • Effective for male and female pattern baldness
  • Non-surgical and very safe

GFC is considered a more advanced version of PRP and is especially popular for those experiencing mild hair loss or shedding. It can also be combined with hair transplant surgery and medications for better results. Along with GFC injection the dermpen microneedling done in whole scalp promotes better results

At our clinic in Nepal, we offer GFC treatments and consultations with hair experts to guide you through every step of hair loss prevention. If your hair loss is noticeable, you might also consider a hair transplant at Akarshan Skin and Hair Clinic.
