GFC Hair Treatment
in Bangalore

GFC stands for Growth Factor Concentrate. A small sample of your own blood is drawn and processed with a sealed, single-use kit to extract the PRP (platelet-rich plasma), the part of your blood that is rich in growth factors. This is injected into the scalp and followed with microneedling, with the aim of supporting weakened hair follicles, reducing hair fall, and improving hair thickness over a course of sessions. See the procedure step by step.

Both start with your own blood, and both use a centrifuge to separate out the platelet-rich part. Standard PRP hair treatment injects that as it is. GFC uses a purpose-made, single-use kit designed to concentrate the growth factors those platelets carry, so it is the stronger of the two and usually shows results sooner. We offer both at Facetalks. If you would rather start at a lower cost per session, PRP still gives real results, just more gradually. See our PRP hair treatment page for its cost and results.

Both follow the same procedure and use a sealed, single-use kit. With Exo GFC, the PRP goes through one extra filtration step before it is injected, which makes it the more refined of the two. Both are complete treatments in their own right. Compare them in our pricing section.

GFC works well for most people with early to moderate thinning, and you can see the difference in our real before and after results. How much it helps you depends on the cause and stage of your hair loss, so instead of quoting a percentage, we tell you what to expect for your hair at your free consultation. See which stage you are at.

We usually recommend 6 to 8 sessions, for both GFC and Exo GFC. The exact number depends on how your hair responds and is confirmed at your free consultation. See the session plan.

Sessions are typically taken 21 to 30 days apart. If you are on a package, your free LED light therapy and anti-dandruff therapy are usually scheduled about every 7 days in between.

Results build gradually. Many people start noticing less hair fall within the first one or two sessions. By sessions 3 to 4, hair tends to feel stronger with less breakage, and around sessions 5 to 6 new baby hairs often start to appear as thinning areas look thicker. A little extra shedding early on can happen and is usually temporary. See the full session-by-session timeline and our before and after results.

GFC results last well with a little upkeep. GFC strengthens the hair you have, but it does not change the hormonal cause of pattern hair loss, so a maintenance session every 3 to 6 months after your main course helps hold your results. Your own maintenance plan is discussed at consultation.

In most cases, yes, and the two tend to work better together. GFC does not address the hormonal side of pattern hair loss, so doctors commonly pair it with prescribed hair medication. Tell us what you are using at your consultation. Our care guide covers what to pause around each session.

The blood draw feels like a routine blood test. The scalp injections cause brief, pinprick-like discomfort that most people handle well, and some soreness where the scalp was treated is common and settles soon after. Tell our team if you are anxious about needles and we will talk you through your comfort options.

GFC is a safe treatment. Because the PRP comes from your own blood, serious reactions are rare. The usual ones are scalp tenderness, redness, mild swelling, a tight feeling, or a mild headache, which typically settle within a few days. Some temporary shedding can also happen early on. It is generally not suitable if you have a low platelet count or bleeding disorder, take blood thinners, have an active scalp infection, or are pregnant. Full details are in our care guide.

Yes. GFC is used for pattern hair thinning in both men and women, and the procedure is the same. What matters more than gender is the cause and stage of your hair loss. Our stage guide describes each stage for both.

They do different jobs. GFC supports follicles that are still active, while a transplant moves hair into areas where follicles are no longer active. Some people also take GFC after a transplant to support their existing hair, when their surgeon advises it. Dr. Sajida Ali performs hair transplants at Facetalks, so we can tell you honestly which route suits you. Ask us about hair transplant.

A package means committing to a full course of sessions. You get a discounted per-session price, plus free LED light therapy, anti-dandruff therapy, and microneedling therapy. The LED and anti-dandruff sessions are not one-off extras. They are done regularly between your GFC sessions, based on what your hair and scalp need. See the package add-ons.

At Facetalks, GFC hair treatment is ₹3,999 per session and Exo GFC is ₹4,999 per session, plus 5% GST, under our current offer. Package pricing is lower per session and is confirmed at your free consultation. See full pricing.

For skin, we offer a related treatment that uses PRP from your own blood with microneedling. See our Vampire Facial page for details.
