About the treatment
What is GFC Hair Therapy?
Growth factor concentrate (GFC) uses a special process to release and concentrate growth factors from your platelets before they are injected into the scalp.
It is used for the same concerns as PRP, and your dermatologist will advise which suits your hair. Some plans alternate PRP and GFC sessions, or combine GFC with dermapen microneedling.
