The Science Behind Growth Factors in Dermatology

Introduction:

From wound healing to anti-aging facials, growth factors are revolutionizing how we treat skin and hair concerns. But what exactly are growth factors, and why are they so powerful?

Let’s decode the science in simple terms.

What Are Growth Factors?

Growth factors are natural proteins in your blood that act like "messengers". They tell your body to:

  • Build new skin cells
  • Repair damaged tissues
  • Regrow hair follicles
  • Reduce inflammation

They’re especially rich inside platelets, which is why we use them in PRP and GFC treatments.

How Are They Extracted?

  1. Your blood is collected
  2. It’s spun in a special tube (like Regenloop GFC)
  3. The pure growth factor serum is isolated and used for therapy

This avoids unwanted cells and gives a cleaner, more targeted solution.

Role in Dermatology

Growth factors are used to treat several dermatological concerns:

  • Hair loss (Androgenic Alopecia, Alopecia Areata)
  • Acne scars and skin rejuvenation
  • Stretch marks and pigmentation
  • Anti-aging facials and under-eye concerns

Research Speaks:

Studies show GFC gives faster results than traditional PRP in hair regrowth and skin elasticity.

It’s a natural, regenerative method with zero side effects.
