GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) takes your body's own healing signals and concentrates them further than standard PRP, delivering a more potent dose of growth factors to thinning areas of the scalp. At Mediglo, every GFC session is performed personally by Dr. Jaspreet Kour, not handed off to a technician.
GFC, or Growth Factor Concentrate, is a next-generation evolution of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for hair thinning. Both treatments start the same way, with a small draw of your own blood. But GFC processing takes an extra step: the plasma is further refined to isolate a purer, more concentrated fraction of growth factors, while filtering out more of the red and white blood cells that can trigger mild inflammation in standard PRP. The result is a solution that many clinicians consider more potent per session, delivering a denser payload of the signalling proteins that stimulate hair follicles into an active growth phase.
Because GFC is autologous (made from your own blood) and injected directly into the scalp, precision matters. Injection depth, spacing, and technique directly influence how evenly follicles are stimulated. This is why Dr. Jaspreet Kour, with over 10 years of experience and a Fellowship in Aesthetics & Lasers from Australia, performs every GFC session herself, from blood draw to final injection, rather than delegating to a technician. It’s a more considered, more hands-on version of a treatment that is only as good as the person delivering it.

The Science
How It Works
A step-by-step look at what happens during your treatment, and why doctor-performed technique matters at every stage.
Blood Draw
A small, standard sample of your blood is drawn in-clinic, the same way a routine blood test is taken. No special preparation is typically required beyond what Dr. Kour advises during your consultation.
Advanced Processing & Concentration
The sample is processed through a refined centrifugation protocol that goes a step further than standard PRP preparation. This step isolates a smaller, more concentrated volume of plasma, richer in growth factors and comparatively lower in the red and white blood cell content that can cause mild post-treatment inflammation with standard PRP.
Activation
The concentrated growth factor solution is activated to trigger the release of the healing and regenerative proteins it carries, priming it to be biologically active once introduced to the scalp tissue.
Precision Injection into the Scalp
Dr. Kour injects the activated GFC solution directly into the dermis of the thinning areas, using a mapped pattern based on your scalp analysis. This directly delivers concentrated growth factors to dormant or weakening follicles, encouraging them into a healthier growth cycle. The full session typically takes 45–60 minutes.
Candidacy
Who It’s For
GFC is best suited to those with moderate hair thinning, whether hormonal, nutritional, lifestyle, or environmental in origin, who want a more concentrated, potent alternative to standard PRP. It also suits patients who have tried standard PRP before with limited response and are looking for a stronger next step, as well as anyone who prefers fewer, more impactful sessions over a longer course of milder ones. A doctor consultation and scalp analysis confirms candidacy and rules out contraindications such as active scalp infection, certain blood disorders, or pregnancy.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How is GFC different from regular PRP?
Both use your own blood, but GFC goes through an additional processing step that further concentrates the growth factors while reducing red and white blood cell content. This generally makes GFC a more potent, higher-strength option per session than standard PRP.
Does GFC hurt more than PRP?
The injection experience is comparable to standard PRP, using fine needles into the scalp. Most patients describe mild discomfort rather than significant pain, and Dr. Kour can discuss comfort measures during your consultation.
How many GFC sessions will I need?
Most patients need around 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart for an initial course, though your exact number depends on the severity of thinning assessed during consultation.
How soon will I see results?
Reduced shedding is typically noticeable within 4–6 weeks, visible regrowth generally begins around months 2–3, and fuller results are usually seen by months 4–6.
Are there side effects?
As GFC uses your own blood, allergic reactions are rare. Mild, temporary redness, tenderness, or swelling at injection sites is possible but usually resolves within a day or two.
Can GFC be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Dr. Kour may recommend combining GFC with other scalp or hair treatments depending on your specific root cause, discussed and confirmed at your consultation.
Is GFC a permanent fix, or will I need maintenance?
GFC supports and prolongs follicle health rather than being a one-time permanent cure. Most patients return for maintenance sessions roughly every 4–6 months after completing the initial course.
Who shouldn’t get GFC?
GFC isn’t advised for those with active scalp infections, certain blood disorders, or during pregnancy. A consultation with Dr. Kour will confirm your suitability.
What does GFC cost at Mediglo?
GFC sessions start from ₹7,000+ per session, with the doctor consultation priced at ₹1,200. Your exact plan and final pricing are confirmed after your scalp analysis, with no hidden charges.

Priya Nair
I'd tried almost every acne cream before coming to MediGlo. Dr. Kour actually explained why my skin was breaking out instead of just prescribing something — within two months it had calmed down more than it had in years.
K
Karan Mehta
I was nervous about looking "done" after Botox, but the results were subtle and completely natural. Friends noticed I looked well-rested, not different.
S
Sunita Verma
My hair fall had gotten so bad I avoided tying it up in public. Three months into treatment at MediGlo, I'm finally seeing new growth along my hairline.
A
Aisha Khan
The pigmentation on my cheeks had gotten worse every year. The team took the time to actually diagnose what type of melasma I had before starting treatment, which no one had done before.
