Aestheva Treatment
Growth Factor Concentrate, next-generation platelet technology delivering purer, more potent growth factors for superior hair density and thickness.
Understanding the Treatment
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is an advanced evolution of PRP therapy that delivers a higher concentration of pure growth factors without the variability of traditional PRP. Using a specialised FDA-approved kit, growth factors are extracted from your blood in a highly controlled process, eliminating red blood cells, white blood cells, and inflammatory cytokines. The result is a pure, concentrated solution of PDGF, VEGF, EGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β, the key signalling molecules that activate follicular stem cells, promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), and extend the hair growth phase. At Aestheva, GFC is our preferred growth factor therapy for patients who want consistent, reproducible results. The standardised extraction process eliminates the batch-to-batch variability seen with traditional PRP, delivering predictable hair restoration outcomes.
Technology
FDA-approved closed-system kit that isolates pure growth factors from blood with no RBCs, WBCs, or inflammatory mediators, delivering a cleaner, more potent concentrate.
The extraction process naturally activates platelets, releasing growth factors immediately. No need for external activators like calcium chloride.
Optional combination with scalp microneedling to create micro-channels for enhanced growth factor penetration at the follicular level.
Before We Begin
Digital trichoscopy assesses hair density, miniaturisation ratio, and follicle health. Hair loss is graded using Norwood (men) or Ludwig (women) classification.
Comprehensive blood work including iron, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, thyroid, and hormonal markers to identify and correct underlying deficiencies.
Based on hair loss stage and type, a GFC schedule is created, typically 3–4 sessions at 3-week intervals, followed by maintenance every 3–6 months.

Coverage
During Each Session
Blood collection — A small sample (10–16 ml) is drawn from your arm into the GFC kit's specialised tubes.
GFC processing — The kit is centrifuged and processed to extract pure growth factor concentrate — takes approximately 15–20 minutes.
Scalp preparation — Topical anaesthetic is applied to the scalp for a pain-free experience.
GFC injection — The concentrated growth factors are micro-injected across the affected scalp areas at the follicular depth.
Post-care — Gentle scalp massage. Avoid hair washing for 24 hours. No significant downtime.
