Cost of GFC therapy depends on:
👉 Quality and cost of kit used to make GFC. (It's important because low quality non sterile kits can get your scalp infected)
👉 Quantity of GFC that needs to be prepared, which in turn depends on the degree of hair loss or baldness.
👉 Experience and expertise of the treating doctor.
So exact cost can only be determined after consultation with the dermatologist.

Highly specific growth factors present in GFC works in hair loss as,
- PDGF (Platelet Derived Growth Factor): Activates hair growth & stimulates mesenchymal stem cells.
- VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): Stimulates productions of new blood vessels around the hair roots.
- IGF-1 (Insuline-like Growth Factor 1): Increases hair growth & maintains hair follicle growth.
- EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): Activates hair growth & also stimulate new blood vessels around the hair root.
- Since GFC doesn't contain any RBCs or WBCs, risk of infections and side effects are very low.
- General inflammation due to pricking may arise in some patients. These usually resolve in few hours to few days.
