Process of GFC Therapy
Patient’s Guide To GFC Therapy
All you need to know
GFC Therapy uses advanced regenerative technology to promote natural hair regrowth and support thicker, healthier hair with minimal discomfort.
Steps Involved
1. Consultation
A dermatologist examines your scalp to identify the root cause of hair loss.
2. Blood Collection
A small sample (10–16 ml) is drawn under sterile conditions.
3. Centrifugation
Your blood is processed to harvest growth factors in a highly concentrated form.
4. Scalp Preparation and Injection
Your scalp is cleaned and numbed with a topical anaesthetic for comfort. Growth factors are injected into areas of thinning hair using fine needles.
Step-by-Step Treatment Procedure for GFC Therapy:
Consultation: Meet with a dermatologist to assess hair loss, discuss medical history, and create a customised treatment plan.
Blood Collection: A small blood sample (10–16 ml) is carefully drawn under sterile conditions, ensuring safety and precision throughout the process.
Centrifugation: Your blood sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate and harvest growth factors in a highly concentrated form, which are essential for stimulating hair growth.
Scalp Preparation: The scalp is thoroughly cleaned and prepped, and a topical anaesthetic is applied to numb the area, ensuring maximum comfort during the procedure.
Injection: Concentrated growth factors are injected into targeted areas of thinning hair using fine needles, promoting hair regrowth and revitalizing the scalp.
Post Procedure Care
To maximise results and recovery, follow these easy aftercare tips after each session of GFC therapy.
Do’s and Don’ts Post-GFC
- Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours.
- Skip chemical treatments like hair dyes or styling for at least 3–5 days.
- Protect your scalp from excessive sun exposure for 48 hours.
- Use only prescribed gentle hair care products.
- Stay hydrated and follow a protein-rich diet.
Taking these precautions will enhance the regenerative effect and keep your scalp healthy.
Are There Any Side Effects?
The beauty of GFC therapy lies in its safety. Since it’s autologous (made from your own blood), there’s minimal risk of adverse reactions. However, minor side effects may include:
- Mild redness or swelling at injection sites.
- Slight soreness or discomfort on the scalp.
- Temporary itching or tingling sensation.
Serious side effects are rare, especially when performed by experienced dermatologists under proper hygienic conditions like at HairMD Clinic Pune.

| Purity and Potency | Higher concentration of growth factors | Moderate concentration |
| Patient Comfort | Painless or minimally invasive | Mild discomfort |

How is GFC different from PRP?
GFC isolates only purified growth factors, making it more concentrated and effective than PRP, which includes platelets and other components.
Who can benefit from GFC therapy?
It’s ideal for men and women facing androgenetic alopecia, early to moderate thinning, and those seeking non-surgical solutions.
How many sessions are needed?
Most patients need 3–6 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
Is the procedure painful?
Not at all! A numbing cream is used, and discomfort is minimal.
Can GFC be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Combine GFC with PRP, minoxidil, or laser therapy to maximise outcomes.
