GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) stands out as a cutting-edge regenerative therapy known for its refined and pure form. In Dubai, esteemed clinics like Glamorous uphold a stringent protocol to prepare GFC, ensuring top-tier quality and safety.
At Glamorous Clinic in Dubai, the meticulous preparation of GFC follows a precise multi-step process to yield a highly concentrated and cell-free final product. The procedure typically involves three key steps:
Step 1: Blood Collection
Commencing with a routine blood draw from the patient's arm, approximately 16 ml of blood is collected in specialized GFC-specific tubes. These tubes are equipped with a proprietary activator to aid in isolating the growth factors effectively.
Step 2: Centrifugation and Concentration
Following blood collection, the GFC tubes are promptly placed in a specialized centrifuge machine. Through high-speed spinning, the blood is separated into distinct layers based on density. This process isolates platelets and plasma containing valuable growth factors from red and white blood cells.
Distinguishing the GFC preparation at leading clinics like Glamorous is the additional refinement step after centrifugation. The extracted plasma undergoes further processing to isolate a purer, more concentrated solution of growth factors. The resulting clear, acellular serum—devoid of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets—significantly reduces the risk of inflammation and discomfort.
Step 3: Injection 🎯
The concentrated GFC serum (around 7-8 ml from the initial blood sample) is drawn into a syringe with a fine needle for precise injection into the targeted areas of the patient's scalp affected by hair thinning or loss. Local anesthesia may be administered to enhance comfort during this stage. The entire preparation process, from blood draw to injection, is conducted in a sterile setting and typically lasts under an hour.
