Growth Factor Concentrate therapy uses your body's own healing proteins to wake dormant follicles, slow hair fall, and encourage denser, healthier growth — gently and precisely.
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is an advanced, next-generation evolution of PRP. A small sample of your blood is processed to extract a highly concentrated pool of growth factors — the signalling proteins that tell follicles to repair, strengthen, and grow.
At Aliva Aesthetics, GFC isn't a one-size protocol. We assess your scalp, hair density, and the stage of thinning before designing a session plan calibrated to your follicles — because real regrowth starts with an honest diagnosis.
Hair thinning rarely has a single trigger. GFC works best when we understand what slowed your follicles in the first place.
Inherited sensitivity to hormones can gradually shrink follicles, shortening each growth cycle until strands become fine and sparse.
Follicles starved of nutrients and oxygen weaken over time. Growth factors help restore the micro-environment around the root.
Physical or emotional stress can push many follicles into the resting phase at once, causing noticeable shedding.
Iron, vitamin D, protein and biotin deficiencies quietly undermine the building blocks hair needs to grow strong.
Thyroid shifts, PCOS, and post-pregnancy changes can disrupt the signals that keep follicles active and productive.
With age, follicles produce thinner strands and cycle more slowly — GFC helps re-energise the regenerative signal.
GFC is versatile. Here are the most common concerns we treat — your plan is matched to the pattern and stage of your thinning.
Overall loss of density without a defined bald patch — ideal for early GFC intervention.
Thinning at the temples and frontal line, often the first visible sign in men.
Loss of volume at the vertex, where GFC can re-stimulate weakened follicles.
Widening part-line and reduced density, treated gently and effectively with GFC.
GFC accelerates healing and strengthens grafts after a hair transplant.
Temporary heavy shedding after fever, surgery, or stress responds well to GFC.
Our GFC philosophy rests on four pillars — listening first, assessing the scalp deeply, treating precisely, and supporting your results consistently.
Every journey starts with your story — history, lifestyle, and what you've already tried.
An in-depth scalp and hair analysis — cause, stage, and any underlying factors.
A personalised plan combining the most effective, evidence-based options for you.
Ongoing support, home-care guidance, and follow-ups — because results are a relationship.
Every GFC course is sequenced for maximum follicle response with minimal downtime. Your plan may include any of the following, tailored to your scalp.
Concentrated growth factors injected into the thinning zones to reactivate follicles and reduce shedding.
Pairing GFC with controlled microneedling boosts absorption and stimulates collagen around the root.
Targeted supplements correct deficiencies so follicles have the raw materials to respond.
Periodic top-up sessions protect and extend your regrowth once the initial course is complete.
Every Aliva journey follows a calm, considered path — no shortcuts, no surprises. Here's what to expect.
An unhurried conversation about your concerns, history, and goals.
A detailed scalp and hair examination and, where needed, blood work.
A treatment plan built around your hair, your budget, and your timeline.
Gentle, structured sessions delivered by experienced practitioners.
Ongoing support, home-care, and follow-ups to protect your progress.

Every consultation is unhurried. Your scalp is examined carefully, your options explained in plain language, and your session plan built around what your follicles actually need.
“GFC treatment at Aliva produced faster and denser regrowth than the PRP I had tried elsewhere. The concentrated growth factor technology is genuinely more advanced — my hair thickness improved noticeably after just 2 sessions.”
“I chose GFC over standard PRP after Aliva explained the science — and the results justified the choice completely. New hair growth across my thinning crown was visible within 6 weeks of the first session.”
“Three sessions of GFC at Aliva and my male pattern hair loss has visibly improved. The receding hairline has stabilised and the crown density I had lost over years has started to return. Genuinely impressive results.”
“GFC injections at Aliva for female pattern thinning gave me results I was not expecting from any injectable treatment. My hair feels thicker, looks fuller, and the parting width has narrowed visibly. Very happy.”
“Post-hair transplant GFC sessions at Aliva dramatically improved the survival rate and growth of my transplanted grafts. The dermatologist recommended it and I am glad I followed that advice — the results are exceptional.”
“Aliva explained exactly how GFC works differently from conventional PRP before I committed to treatment. The transparency gave me confidence and the results confirmed everything they said. Four sessions changed my hair completely.”
Here are the questions we hear most often about GFC hair therapy. If yours isn't here, our team is always happy to talk.
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is an advanced refinement of PRP. Instead of using whole platelet-rich plasma, GFC extracts a higher, purer concentration of growth factors — meaning a more potent, consistent dose with each session.
Most clients find it very tolerable. We apply a topical numbing cream beforehand, and the injections feel like brief pinpricks. There's no significant downtime — most people return to normal activity the same day.
Most clients need 4–6 sessions spaced about 3–4 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the stage of your thinning, which your doctor will discuss honestly during consultation.
Reduced hair fall is often noticeable within 2–3 sessions. Visible thickening and new growth typically appear over 3–4 months as the follicle cycle responds.
Yes. Because GFC uses growth factors derived from your own blood, the risk of allergy or rejection is extremely low. Every session is performed under sterile, doctor-supervised conditions.
GFC slows hair fall and strengthens existing follicles, but it doesn't stop the underlying cause permanently. Periodic maintenance sessions and good scalp care help protect your results long-term.
