1. How much does GFC hair treatment cost?
It’s all about your hair loss stage and number of sessions.
2. How many sessions of GFC are needed?
Most patients require 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, depending on severity.
3. Is GFC better than PRP for hair loss?
PRP and GFC are almost similar in their working mechanism, but with GFC, one will have a more concentrated growth factor extract; your dermatologist will be in a position to inform you better of which one will best suit your condition.
4. Are there side effects of GFC treatment?
It is almost a 100% safe treatment since it is done with your own blood. Mild scalp redness or tenderness may occur briefly after procedure.
5. How soon will I see GFC hair treatment results?
On the whole, reduction in hair loss was the outcome reported by the majority within a few sessions. You can expect visible thickness over 3 to 4 months.
What is GFC Hair Treatment?
GFC is an acronym for Growth Factor Concentrate. The treatment is natural and is based off of your body, your blood to be exact, and it shares similar characteristics (if not the same) with our PRP hair treatment. But contrary to PRP, it processes to isolate a richer concentration of growth factors.
These growth factors are what is needed by your body for your tissue and cell regeneration. When they’re applied through scalp treatments they can help awaken inactive hair follicles and keep your hair thick and healthy for a long time.
Hair thinning occurs at the root of follicles that have been weakened by disease, hormonal imbalance or the aging process so it’s a logical idea to try out treatments like GFC since the active ingredients can be absorbed by the target area very easily. The best thing about GFC, though, is that as the treatment is based on your own blood, you are hardly likely to be allergic.
🎯 Who Is GFC Suitable For?
GFC hair therapy in Patna is ideal in these cases:
✅ Early-stage hair thinning or receding hairline
✅ Androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss)
✅ Post-hair-transplant support to boost healing
✅ Anyone who prefers a non-surgical route before considering bigger interventions
Not everyone with hair loss needs the same plan, which is why a scalp evaluation always comes first.
The Treatment Process at R Square Clinic
R Square Clinic’s sessions for Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) strictly adhere to a well-planned process throughout. Our aim is to ensure the entire treatment is safe, comfortable, and highly effective. Below are the typical activities happening one after another during a session.
→ Step 1: Scalp Consultation & Evaluation
This process begins with a consultation with Dr. Rizwana Barkat who does a scalp assessment and talks about your hair loss condition, considering your medical history. This step ensures that GFC is matched to the cause of your thinning hair rather than being applied without diagnosis.
→ Step 2: Blood Draw
Only a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a simple blood test. It won’t take more than a few minutes.
→ Step 3: Processing & Extraction
The blood drawn is then processed in a centrifuge, specialized equipment within the clinic. We have an advanced system of processing and extraction that isolates growth factor concentrate.
As a result, GFC is distinct because during processing, it focuses only on concentration of growth factors whereas PRP retains extra components (platelets and plasma as well).

→ Step 4: Scalp Application
The GFC is directly applied to your scalp when it’s ready, and it may include microneedling.
After microneedling, micro channels are created which help the growth factors enter the hair follicles deeper and quicker. The result is improved absorption of bioactive molecules like growth factors through these newly opened tiny channels.
→ Step 5: Aftercare
Once you’ve completed receiving all the services listed above, Dr. Rizwana Barkat will inform you about aftercare, things like avoiding harsh shampoos for a day or two to ensure you don’t compromise the outcome.
Because very minimal recovery time is required, the majority of our patients are able to carry on their daily activities with no delay. The whole treatment session normally lasts an hour and you can use the lunch break or morning before work for a visit.
Sessions & Cost 💰
It is a standard procedure that most people require 4 to 6 sessions over a space of 3 to 4 weeks apart in order to see visible improvements, although the number can vary in accordance with the degree of hair thinning of the individual.
👉 Our GFC hair treatment cost in Patna is ₹4,500 per session. But the final cost is a direct combination of the number of sessions and your hair loss stage, which is only revealed properly and accurately via an in-person consultation rather than estimating it from online research.
One of the common effects observed by the patients after the first few sessions is the reduction in hair fall, the hair thickness being visibly improved over time, though the changes occur gradually.
