Growth factor therapy is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses proteins called growth factors to stimulate hair growth. Growth factors are naturally occurring substances in the body that play a key role in the growth and repair of tissues, including hair follicles.

In hair growth factor therapy, a serum containing a combination of growth factors and other nutrients is applied directly to the scalp or injected into the scalp at the hair follicles. The growth factors help to stimulate the hair follicles, promoting the growth of new hair and strengthening existing hair.

The growth factors used in hair growth factor therapy may be derived from various sources, including the patient’s own blood, placental tissue, or synthetic sources. Some of the most commonly used growth factors in hair growth factor therapy include:

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF): Promotes the growth and survival of hair follicle cells.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF): Stimulates cell growth and differentiation, promoting the growth of new hair.

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF): Promotes cell growth and differentiation, stimulating the growth of new hair.

Growth factor therapy for hair is a safe and effective treatment option for those with thinning hair or hair loss. It can be used alone or in combination with other hair restoration treatments, such as PRP therapy or hair mesotherapy, to achieve optimal results. Results of hair growth factor therapy are typically visible after a few months of treatment and may continue to improve over time
