How does GFC Treatment work for Hair Loss?

Plat-elets are a storehouse of various natural growth factors. Growth factor concentrate contains various highly specific growth factors that play different roles to help combat hair loss. Generally, the growth factors support tissue repair and regeneration and aid in the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of the skin cells. The various types of growth factors are:

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)- It helps encourage angiogenesis-new blood vessel formation, around the hair roots. It also aids in increasing the size of perifollicular blood vessels when hair follicles are actively growing.

Plat-elet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)- It can encourage vascularisation and angiogenesis and increase hair growth. It fosters the mitogenesis of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Furthermore, it assists in the chemotaxis and proliferation of fibroblasts.

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)- It helps in the proliferation and regeneration of hair cells. It favours the mitogenesis of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Moreover, it co-stimulates angiogenesis.

Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)- It maintains the growth of hair strands from hair follicles. It stimulates and facilitates overall hair growth. In addition, this growth factor serves as an angiogenesis stimulator.

TGF-beta Growth Factors- This aids in the regulation of cell development and differentiation. It is essential for the formation and maintenance of healthy hair follicles. TGF-beta has been proven in recent studies to have the capacity to reverse hair loss and boost hair growth.

FGF(Fibroblast Growth Factors)- During anagen phase induction, FGF increases the quantity and size of hair follicles. An increase in the number of hair follicles indicates that hair growth is transitioning from the telogen to anagen phases. This results in hair growth.
