Autologous growth factor therapy is a regenerative hair treatment that uses your own blood to extract concentrated growth factors and deliver them into the scalp. These growth factors are naturally involved in tissue repair and cell regeneration, helping support the hair growth process.
This treatment is considered a non-surgical hair loss treatment and is commonly used for concerns such as hair thinning, reduced hair density, and early-stage hair loss. It focuses on improving the function of existing hair follicles rather than creating new ones.
The treatment begins by collecting a small amount of your blood, which is then processed using a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelet-rich components. These platelets contain growth factors that play a role in cell proliferation, collagen production, and scalp regeneration.
Once prepared, the growth factor concentrate is carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp. These growth factors help stimulate hair follicles, improve blood supply, and support the transition of hair into the active growth phase, which may contribute to improved hair density and thickness over time.

Scalp: The main treatment area where hair follicles are targeted directly.
Frontal Hairline: Often treated for early thinning or receding areas.
Crown Area: Common focus for reduced density and widening part lines.
Temples: May be treated where hair loss begins at the sides.
The areas selected depend on your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and overall treatment goals, which are assessed during consultation.
Autologous growth factor therapy may be suitable for individuals looking for a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that supports natural hair growth. You may be suitable if you:
Suitability is determined during consultation, where your scalp condition, hair loss pattern, and treatment goals are carefully assessed.
This treatment may not be suitable for everyone, depending on medical history and scalp condition. You may not be suitable if you:
A proper assessment is important to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your situation.
Before Treatment
Your consultation begins with an evaluation of your hair thinning, scalp condition, and medical history to determine whether autologous growth factor therapy is suitable.
During Treatment
A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate growth factors. These are then injected into targeted areas of the scalp using fine needles in a controlled manner.
After Treatment
You may experience mild sensitivity or redness on the scalp. Most individuals can return to daily activities shortly after, depending on their response to treatment.
Aftercare Guidelines
After treatment, care focuses on supporting scalp recovery and maintaining treatment results:
Short-Term Effects
Short-term effects are usually mild and temporary, and may include slight redness, mild swelling or tenderness, and temporary sensitivity in treated areas. These effects typically resolve within a short period as the scalp recovers.
