Growth factor concentrate consists of two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body. Because the treatment uses patient’s own tissues, GFC injections are safe and can be used alone or with conjunction with other procedures. To create platelet-rich plasma, clinicians take a blood sample from the patient and place it into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma. GFC is used in wound healing, hair loss, skin rejuvenation.
