Growth Factors

Growth factors are natural proteins that regulate essential cellular functions such as cell growth, proliferation, and tissue repair. When applied to the scalp, certain growth factors are known to contribute to maintaining the health of hair follicles and improving the overall environment for hair. The following six growth factors involved in our treatment play crucial roles in promoting healthy hair and addressing hair thinning:

​

1. bFGF (Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor)
   bFGF supports the vitality of hair follicles and helps improve blood circulation to the scalp. By encouraging cell growth and promoting new blood vessel formation, it creates a healthier environment for follicles.
    

2. SCF (Stem Cell Factor)
   SCF is involved in regulating the activity of stem cells within the hair follicles. It plays a role in follicle activation and supports the overall functioning of hair follicles during the hair growth cycle.
    

3. VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)
   VEGF supports the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), which helps improve nutrient delivery and oxygen supply to hair follicles, contributing to healthier scalp conditions.
    

4. KGF-2 (Keratinocyte Growth Factor-2)
   KGF-2 primarily encourages the growth of keratinocytes, which are key cells in the hair follicles and scalp. It helps promote the activation of hair follicles, supporting follicle health and function.
    

5. SOD-1 (Superoxide Dismutase-1)
   SOD-1 acts as an antioxidant, protecting the scalp and hair follicles by neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. This helps maintain a healthy scalp environment.
    

6. FGF-9 (Fibroblast Growth Factor-9)
   FGF-9 supports the activation of dermal papilla cells in the hair follicles, helping to maintain the function and health of hair follicles for stronger hair growth.
    

Together, these six growth factors create a synergistic effect on the scalp and hair follicles, contributing to a balanced and healthy environment for hair. By improving the condition of the scalp and supporting follicle function, these growth factors help maintain the natural hair growth cycle and support the overall health of hair.
