At The Hair Clinic Auckland, we are proud to offer Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) — an advanced, clinically formulated hair restoration treatment that delivers a purified, high-potency dose of your body’s own regenerative proteins. GFC is a powerful option for patients seeking fast-acting, targeted stimulation of hair follicles without the use of drugs or synthetic additives.
We start by drawing a small amount of your blood into tubes that contain proprietary platelet activators.
The tubes are centrifuged at high speed (~3000 RPM for 10 minutes), during which the activated platelets release key growth factors into the plasma. We then carefully extract the cell-free growth factor-rich supernatant, discarding the red and white blood cells to leave behind a highly concentrated serum.
This purified GFC contains a potent mix of PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and IGF, which are injected into areas of thinning hair using a fine 30G needle. These growth factors improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and directly stimulate follicular stem cells — promoting new hair growth and increasing hair thickness and strength.
The GFC matrix slowly releases key growth factors such as PDGF, VEGF, IGF, and TGF-β over 7–10 days, promoting blood vessel formation, prolonging the hair growth (anagen) phase, and activating dormant hair follicles.
Early-stage hair thinning
Androgenetic alopecia in men and women
Thinning due to stress, hormonal changes, or post-COVID shedding
Telogen effluvium
Maintenance post hair transplant
Can be combined with Nanoxidil (Minoxidil) or Finasteride
Can be combined with Exosomes for greater efficacy
Can be combined with PDO threads for improved hair growth outcomes
Best results are gained when a course of GFC Treatments regularly spaced 4 weeks apart are completed.
For continued hair growth a maintenance program is then implemented.
Multiple clinical studies have shown GFC to be a safe and effective therapy.
Best results are obtained in those individuals who
Do not smoke
Avoid excess alcohol and drugs
Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications such as Nurofen and Voltaren for 2 weeks before and 6 weeks after treatment.
Avoid Omega 3, Vit E supplements, Ginko Baloba for the same amount of time as aspirin and anti-inflammatories
Dr. Mark Morunga personally oversees every GFC treatment, following advanced protocols and strict sterile techniques to ensure consistent, high-quality results. With a strong focus on regenerative medicine, each treatment plan is carefully tailored to your individual stage of hair loss and personal hair goals.
Our customised GFC protocols combine advanced technology with expert diagnostics and holistic care, and may be supported by proven therapies such as topical minoxidil or oral finasteride when appropriate. Book your consultation today and experience the science of natural hair regeneration with PRF.
