As years pass, the number of treatments for skin concerns steadily rise. However, some treatments may lead to temporary side effects such as skin irritation, allergic reactions, or inconsistent outcomes in certain individuals. What if we tell you, there is a skin treatment purely based out of our own body’s regenerative powers! Sounds exciting right? Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) is a regenerative skin therapy that utilizes platelet derived growth factors to support skin repair and rejuvenation. The procedure is considered safe when performed under medical supervision and offers promising results for skin rejuvenation.
GFC is gaining popularity in the cosmetic arena for its unparalleled and real results. Common skin issues like wrinkles, fine lines, open pores, mild acne scars, sun damage, and early stages of pigmentation can be controlled and reversed with GFC Skin Treatment. In India, the treatment is available in VCare; performed by certified skincare experts.
GFC- A step-by-step breakdown
- A sample of the individual’s blood will be collected in a tube.
- Using a process called centrifugation, the growth factors are separated from other blood components.
- The Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) is separated and kept in a sterile system. 4. The concentrated growth factors are injected into the affected skin areas using microneedling (a technique that ensures maximum absorption for good results).
What are growth factors? How do they help resolve skin issues?
Growth factors are naturally occurring signaling proteins that regulate cellular repair, regeneration, and collagen production in our body. They act more like cellular messengers, telling skin cells when to repair, heal, grow and produce collagen, elastin, etc. Growth factors help damaged skin heal, repair and regenerate naturally. In advanced treatments like PRP and GFC, growth factors are used to help skin resolve its issues in a natural way. GFC contains platelet-derived growth factors such as PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and TGF-β, which help stimulate fibroblasts, enhance collagen synthesis, and improve skin regeneration.
As we age, collagen production decreases, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines and dull skin. Skin will also lose its firmness due to loss of elastin. Growth factors, when injected, can stimulate collagen and elastin production to renew skin & make it look younger and radiant. Growth factors also fasten skin’s healing process and improve its overall texture and glow.
