An advanced, highly concentrated growth-factor therapy designed for more intensive follicle stimulation.
Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) is a next-generation evolution of growth-factor therapy for hair. Like PRP, it is prepared from your own blood — but GFC focuses on delivering a purer, more concentrated dose of the specific growth factors that support hair growth. This refined preparation makes GFC a popular choice for patients who want a potent, targeted approach to reducing hair fall and encouraging regrowth.
At Yennes, GFC is offered as part of a personalised hair maintenance plan, selected when a higher concentration of growth factors is likely to benefit your hair.
How GFC Works
GFC is created through a specialised process that releases and concentrates growth factors from the platelets in your blood. The result is a rich preparation focused on the signalling proteins that help strengthen follicles and stimulate growth, which is then delivered into the scalp where it is needed most.
- Blood sample — A blood sample is collected, similar to a routine test.
- Concentration — Growth factors are released and concentrated through a refined preparation process.
- Preparation — The scalp is cleansed and prepared for treatment.
- Application — The growth factor concentrate is delivered into the scalp at follicle level.
GFC vs PRP — What’s the Difference?
Both PRP and GFC use your own blood and work through growth factors. The key difference is concentration and purity: GFC is designed to provide a more concentrated, refined dose of specific growth factors, which is why it is often chosen for a more intensive approach. Your specialist will advise which option suits you best.
| In short PRP — a trusted, natural growth-factor therapy and an excellent starting point. GFC — a more concentrated, advanced preparation for intensive follicle support. Both are autologous (from your own blood) and minimally invasive. |
