GFC Hair Therapy
Growth Factor Concentrate — next-generation PRP with higher growth factor yield.
Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) is an advanced version of PRP that uses specialised activator gels to release a much higher concentration of growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, IGF, EGF) from your platelets. The result is typically faster, more pronounced regrowth than standard PRP — at a slightly higher per-session cost.
