• It considerably reduces hair fall and rejuvenates hair follicles.
• It improves hair thickness and volume.
• It strengthens the hair grafts and promotes hair growth.

Growth Factor Concentrate Therapy or GFC hair treatment is a highly safe, dedicated, concentrated growth factor preparation from the candidate’s blood cells to offer superior natural results.

Blood Platelets are enriched with various growth factors. Dermaplast Scientists extract them from the blood at a high concentration as a Growth Factor Concentrate is a specially designed Dermaplast GFC kit. The collected GFC is then administered at the site to be treated with precise tools and specialists. The overall process involves no platelet loss, is non-pyrogenous, secure, and regenerates damaged tissues naturally.

This advanced and latest hair loss treatment helps a person get the best results in only 3-4 sittings. Therefore, it is considered the best procedure to undergo to restore lost hair.

Various growth factors are stored in blood platelets, which help regenerate and repair the tissues and stem cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Thus, each GFC plays a different role in fighting hair loss.

Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF): PDGF helps increase hair growth and works as a stimulator for Vascularisation and Angiogenesis. It also helps in the mitogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells and proliferation and chemotaxis of fibroblasts.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): VEGF is expressed in DP cells in the anagen phase of hair and regulates perifollicular angiogenesis in hair. It also increases perifollicular vessel size during the anagen growth phase to make the process smooth.

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): EGF promotes hair cell proliferation and regeneration and stimulates mitogenesis of mesenchymal and epithelial cells. Additionally, it also co- stimulates angiogenesis.

Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1): IGF-1 maintains HF growth, increases overall hair growth, and works as an angiogenesis stimulator. These are extracted from the platelets at high concentrations and stored in a GFC therapy kit with precise mechanisms.

Each Dermaplast GFC therapy kit is used for one patient in a single sitting.

It is recommended to have three sittings for three months to get the best results.

Results are associated with reduced hair fall and an increase in hair count and hair thickness.

If needed, one sitting can be repeated before 4-6 months of the procedure, and the entire therapy can be repeated every year.

Step 1: Collection of Blood.

15ml to 16ml of the patient’s peripheral blood is collected and equally distributed in 4 GFC tubes.

Step 2: Activation of Platelet and Release of Growth Factors or GFs.

In this step, the blood is gently mixed by inverting the tube 6-10 times and then allowing them to stand for approximately 30 minutes. The GFC hair treatment helps activate platelets by Dermaplast’s proprietary platelet-activating solution present in the tube and releasing PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and IGF-1 from the platelets.

Step 3: Separation of GFC.

All four tubes are then centrifuged at 3400 rpm for 10 minutes, assisting with counter-balancing. In addition, it helps in separating pure GPs from RBCs, WBCs, and other blood cells present in them.

Step 4: Collection of GFC.

The tubes are invested in collecting Autologous growth factor concentrate and GFC. GFC’s are gathered at the cap of the tube, and with the help of collecting syringe, they are collected. The tip of the needle is inserted just under the tube’s cap. It allows maximum recovery of GFC.

Step 5: Application of GFC.

The collected GFC is now ready for Application. The color of GFC output can range from yellow- yellowish brown-orange to reddish.

GFC therapy is equally effective for males and females with the early or late signs of Alopecia. However, to ensure, it is essential to get your scalp diagnosed by specialized doctors. They will suggest the best possible treatment for your hair loss.

GFC therapy treatment is highly affordable despite being an innovative hair loss treatment and superiorly better than PRP. In addition, it offers visible results within the first sessions of the therapy, depending on the treated area.

Avoid combing or touching your hair or scalp for a day.

Prevent sweating caused by exhausting physical work and heavy workouts for approximately four days after the procedure has been performed.

Do not shampoo hair for 1-2 days, and after that, only apply products suggested by the doctor.

Regular Application of topical medication or drugs intake is required as per the doctor’s advice.

Note: All these restrictions vary from patient to patient.
