At The Hair Clinic Auckland, we offer Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) as an advanced autologous treatment option for people experiencing hair thinning and certain types of hair loss.
GFC uses a specialised blood-processing system to prepare a concentrated growth-factor-containing component from your own blood.
The preparation is administered to selected areas of the scalp and is used as part of a personalised approach to hair-loss treatment and supporting hair growth.
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins involved in a range of cellular processes, including tissue repair and cell signalling.
GFC is used as a treatment option for hair thinning and certain types of hair loss, with research investigating its potential role in supporting the hair-growth environment and outcomes such as hair density and thickness.
Your clinician will explain the treatment, available evidence, potential benefits and limitations during your consultation.
Before and After PRP Hair Regrowth Program
A small sample of blood is collected into specialised tubes containing platelet activators.
The sample is then processed using controlled centrifugation. During this process, platelets are activated and release growth factors into the plasma.
The growth-factor-containing component is carefully separated from the cellular blood components and prepared for administration.
The resulting GFC preparation is delivered to selected areas of the scalp using a fine needle under sterile clinical conditions.
This specialised process is performed at The Hair Clinic by our experienced clinical team.
GFC may be considered as part of a treatment plan for people experiencing:
GFC may also be considered alongside other hair-loss treatment options where clinically appropriate.
Your clinician will assess your individual circumstances and discuss the available options with you.
Before treatment, your clinician will review your medical history, medications and supplements and provide personalised preparation instructions.
Do not stop prescribed medication, including aspirin, anticoagulants or antiplatelet medicines, unless specifically advised to do so by your treating clinician.
There is no single treatment protocol appropriate for everyone.
Following assessment, your clinician will consider your pattern and extent of hair loss, medical history, previous treatments and individual circumstances before recommending an appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment frequency and the number of sessions will be discussed during your consultation.
Individual response varies and results cannot be guaranteed.
GFC is prepared from the patient’s own blood. However, as with any procedure involving blood collection and scalp injections, there are potential risks and side effects.
These may include:
Your clinician will assess your medical history and discuss contraindications and potential risks before treatment.
