TUBELiTE GFC is an innovative growth factor concentrate (GFC) solution designed to promote hair growth and combat hair thinning by leveraging the power of growth factors. These growth factors, including HGF, VEGF, TGF, IGF-1, and more, work in synergy to stimulate the hair follicles, increase the follicle size, and improve hair density.
The GFC process involves the careful extraction of growth factors from the patient’s own blood, which are then concentrated and injected into the scalp to directly target hair follicles. This natural and effective treatment encourages hair regeneration and strengthens hair roots by utilizing insulin-like growth factors and other vital proteins that enhance follicular growth.
The step-by-step procedure ensures a safe and efficient process, resulting in hair that looks and feels healthier. Regular use of TUBELiTE GFC can significantly slow hair loss, while stimulating new hair growth and improving overall hair quality.
Key Growth Factors:
- HGF (Hepatocyte Growth Factor): Promotes follicular growth by acting on follicular epithelial cells.
- VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): Stimulates vasculogenesis and improves nutrient supply to hair follicles.
- TGF (Transforming Growth Factor): Increases hair shaft and prevents morphological changes.
- IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1): Affects follicular proliferation and the hair growth cycle.
- KGF (Keratinocyte Growth Factor): Important mediator of hair follicle growth and differentiation.
- FGF-2 (Fibroblast Growth Factor-2): Enhances cell proliferation and improves wound healing.
- EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): Controls epidermal cell functions and stimulates differentiation of hair follicle cells.
How to Use TUBELiTE GFC
- STEP 1: Collect 16 ml of blood using a needle and needle holder into 2 vacutainer tubes.
- STEP 2: Invert the tubes 5–6 times to mix the blood with the GFC activator solution.
- STEP 3: Let the tubes stand for 30 minutes to allow for GFC activation.
- STEP 4: Centrifuge the tubes at 3500 RPM for 12 minutes.
- STEP 5: Withdraw the concentrated growth factors above the gel separator using a syringe and needle.
- STEP 6: Inject the growth factor concentrate into the scalp or targeted area.
