A hair transplant is not the only option when hair thinning occurs in people, as a scalp with active but weakened hair follicles may be treated with procedures that support follicular activity. GFC therapy in Delhi is a minimally invasive treatment that uses concentrated growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood.
At Chandra Clinic, GFC is performed on people experiencing thinning hair, visible scalp, reduced density, and hair loss. The treatment delivers concentrated growth factors directly to areas where the hair is thin, to improve overall hair density.
Growth factor concentration therapy is a regenerative hair treatment where the surgeon takes the patient’s blood and concentrates growth factors to inject them into areas of the scalp affected by thinning.
The blood contains platelets, and platelets contain various growth factors involved in tissue repair. In GFC therapy, growth factors are separated and concentrated and delivered to the scalp. The therapy is different from a hair transplant because no hair follicles are extracted and implanted; rather, GFC works with the patient’s existing follicles.
Hair follicles require an environment that supports them to remain active and produce healthy hair. Growth factors act as biological signals that help cells communicate and participate in tissue regeneration.
Concentrated growth factors are injected into thinning areas of the scalp, which may create a supportive environment around weakened follicles. This procedure can support cellular activity and the natural process involved in hair growth.
GFC therapy does not create a new follicle; it supports weak or less productive follicles to support hair growth.
Hair loss and reduced density may develop for various reasons:
GFC may be considered when people notice:
GFC therapy is more appropriate when functioning follicles are still present, as completely bald areas may require a different approach.
GFC may be suitable for men and women experiencing thinning hair, receding hairlines, etc. The ideal candidates for GFC therapy:
GFC may not be appropriate when:
| Treatment | Basic Approach | Best Considered For | Type |
| GFC Therapy | Concentrated growth factors are injected into thinning areas | Existing but weakened follicles | No |
| PRP | Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from blood and injected into the scalp | Selected cases of hair thinning | No |
| Laser Helmet/LLLT | Low-level light stimulates existing follicles | Certain types of thinning hair | No |
| Hair Transplant | Follicles are moved from a donor area to areas of hair loss | Areas with permanent hair loss | Yes |
GFC therapy is performed at Chandra Clinic, involving concentrating growth factors from the patient’s own blood and injecting them into the thinning scalp. The procedure is described as a lunchtime procedure, as it does cause prolonged downtime.
The surgeons usually follow a structured plan for GFC therapy to address patients' concerns:
The GFC therapy is performed with blood-processing and concentration technology.
For appropriately selected patients, GFC may offer several advantages:
Chandra Clinic states that visible results can be expected after some months of the treatment, as it develops gradually. The outcomes don’t appear immediately after the injection, and patients may notice reduced appearance and greater overall hair volume over the months.
The recovery is usually quick, as GFC therapy does not involve the incisions or graft extraction.
| Period | Aftercare |
| First 24 Hours | Avoid washing the hair. |
| First Few Days | Avoid high-impact activities and touching of the scalp. |
| First Week | Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat exposure. |
| During Early Recovery | Avoid strong styling products and follow the clinic’s instructions. |
| Following Months | Continue the maintenance sessions to ensure hair-density changes |
1. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and caffeine around the treatment period
2. Follow the clinic’s personalised instructions regarding medications and lifestyle restrictions.
GFC therapy is performed with injections, so some temporary reactions may occur:
GFC therapy cost in Delhi ranges from ₹6,000 to ₹20,000 per session, depending on several factors rather than having a fixed price. Factors that may influence the final cost include:
Chandra Clinic recommends contacting the clinic to determine the applicable treatment cost.
Patients prefer Chandra Clinic for hair regrowth procedures for several reasons:
Dr. Urvashi Chandra is a dermatologist and hair restoration specialist at Chandra Clinic. She completed her MBBS in 2005, MD in Dermatology in 2010 and has been practicing for 16 years. She is also a Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgeons, certified in 2014.
Her approach to hair restoration is based on doing what is best for the patient, with treatment selected according to the individual's condition rather than automatically proceeding with surgery.
If your scalp is becoming increasingly visible because of thinning hair, GFC therapy may be worth considering. GFC therapy in Delhi at Chandra Clinic can provide concentrated growth factors directly to areas where existing follicles may still be supported. Book a consultation with Dr. Urvashi Chandra today.
Patients are generally recommended 3-4 sessions, scheduled approximately 30-45 days apart.
No, the results may last approximately 6 months to 2 years. Aftercare and maintenance sessions may be recommended for best results.
GFC works by supporting existing hair follicles, whereas a transplant moves follicles into areas of baldness. The suitability of the treatment depends on the extent and cause of the hair loss.
GFC can be considered for different areas showing hair thinning, including the crown and mid-scalp.
GFC is a minimally invasive treatment and does not require extended downtime.
GFC therapy does not create a new hair follicle, so if an area has permanent hair loss, then a hair transplant may need to be considered.
Some discomfort may occur during the injections, but a topical numbing cream is applied to reduce the discomfort.
I have taken the GFC therapy at Dr Chandra's clinic and seen excellent results thus far. Dr Chandra's hands on involvement during the entire process is very reassuring complimented with the fact that the entire staff is very professional. I would strongly recommend the GFC therepy to those who are suffering from hair loss and wish to see visible results.
Dr Kapil is one of the best dermatologists in Delhi. I used to have a very sensitive skin
and I faced several issues because of it with the weather change. Dr Kapil's treatment
helped me with all those issues and made my skin much more clear and healthy. I
regularly consult him for my laser treatment too and the results have been really good.
I also took my daughter to Dr Kapil for consultation regarding her acne and hair fall.
With his prescribed medicines, her skin cleared up in no time, she also got rid of all
her acne scars and her hair fall reduced drastically.
