Hair fall/loss is the most common concern among people nowadays and its cases are increasing daily due to the highly stressful and demanding lifestyle of individuals in today’s time. Unfortunately, people suffering from pattern hair loss have been experiencing significant psychological morbidity and impaired quality of life.

Thankfully, there are many non-surgical treatments available such as hair-growth stimulating medications, hair mesotherapy, and P-R-P hair therapy. But none of them are optimally effective. A next-generation hair loss therapy in Bangalore offered at Charma Clinic that has proven to be very effective in the treatment of hair loss in both males and females is the GFC treatment.

What is GFC treatment?

Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) Therapy is a breakthrough hair fall/loss treatment in Bangalore. It involves injecting a concentrate of natural growth factors, derived from the patient’s own blood plate-lets, right into the hair root, to treat hair fall. The concentrate is prepared using Wockhardt’s GFC therapy kit. This therapy is performed by a dermatologist as a stand-alone therapy, an add-on treatment, or to enhance the results and improve healing of sites where hair has been transplanted.

At Charma Clinic, GFC treatment in Bangalore is provided and it has helped many people to overcome baldness and hair loss concerns. 

How does GFC work?

Growth Factor Concentrate is a pure, highly concentrated preparation of growth factors, derived from a patient’s blood. The various growth factors present in the GFC preparation and their roles are as follows:

  • Plat-elet-derived growth Factor (PDGF)- It stimulates hair growth and mesenchymal st-em cells.
  • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)- It stimulates angiogenesis- the production of new blood vessels around the hair root.
  • Ins-ulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)- It helps increase hair growth and maintains the growth of hair from the hair follicles.
  • Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)- It stimulates angiogenesis around the hair root as well as hair growth.

All of these growth factors function in tissue regeneration and repair as well as st-em cell migration, differentiation, and proliferation.

How is GFC treatment performed?

GFC hair fall treatment in Bangalore involves the following procedural steps:

  1. Collection of the patient’s blood: Blood is withdrawn from the patient’s left arm using a sterile syringe and collected in 4 vacutainers provided in the GFC therapy kit. Each vacutainer in the pack is filled with 4mL of blood.
  2. Activation of the blood platelets: All of the vacutainers filled with blood are gently inverted 6 to 10 times and then kept upright and undisturbed for about half an hour. This step allows Wockhardt’s proprietary chemical activator to help activate the blood platelets.
  3. Separation of GFC: The vacutainers are placed in the centrifuge machine diagonally opposite to one another to ensure their counterbalance. The machine is set at 3400 rpm and 10 minutes to spin the vacutainers and separate the blood components. After centrifugation, the growth factors get separated at the top of the vacutainers while the blood cells settle beneath.
  4. Collection of GFC and preparation of GFC injection: Each of the vacutainers is inverted to allow GFC to be collected at their caps. To collect the GFC, a needle is inserted into the cap, and a maximum of growth factors are taken into the injections. The final GFC output colour ranges from yellow to orange or light brown.  
  5. Application of GFC injection: The prepared GFC injections are now ready to be administered into the targeted areas of the scalp.
