Growth Factor (GF) Hair Treatment
Create a requestGrowth Factor (GF) Hair Treatment is a cutting-edge, non-surgical procedure aimed at stimulating hair growth and improving hair density. Utilizing naturally occurring growth factors, this treatment helps in the regeneration and healing of hair follicles, potentially leading to thicker, fuller hair.
General
Growth Factor Hair Treatment harnesses the body's own healing abilities to fight hair loss. The treatment involves extracting plasma rich in growth factors from the patient's own blood, then injecting it directly into the scalp. Growth factors are proteins that play a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and healing. By concentrating these proteins and applying them to areas of thinning or balding, the procedure aims to enhance hair thickness and stimulate dormant hair follicles into an active growth phase. Over time, this can result in significant hair regrowth and increased hair density. The process is minimally invasive, causes minimal discomfort, and has been gaining popularity as a more natural approach to hair restoration.
