Growth Factor Therapy

Hair loss is not only one of the most common cosmetic concerns affecting both women and men, but it is also a significant condition that can impact self-confidence and quality of life. Genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, environmental factors and the ageing process can cause hair follicles to weaken over time. As this process progresses, hair strands become finer, density decreases and the overall appearance of the hair may change.

Growth Factor Therapy is one of the modern hair treatments used in the field of regenerative medicine, designed to support the natural regeneration mechanisms of hair follicles. The aim is not only to help preserve existing hair, but also to create a suitable environment for stronger and healthier hair growth by supporting the biological quality of the scalp.

What is Growth Factor Therapy?

Growth Factor Therapy is a regenerative hair treatment that utilises biological growth factors to support the tissues surrounding the hair follicles.

Growth factors are biological molecules that regulate intercellular communication, support tissue repair and play a role in natural regeneration processes. The aim of hair treatment is to support the microenvironment in which the hair follicles are located, to enhance the biological activity of the scalp and to support the hair growth cycle.

In modern hair treatments, growth factor applications are regarded as an important part of personalised combined treatment plans.

How Does Growth Factor Therapy Work?

Hair follicles undergo a continuous cycle of renewal throughout a person’s life. However, ageing, genetic factors and environmental influences can cause this cycle to slow down.

Growth Factor Therapy;

• To support the biological activity of hair follicles,
• To help improve the quality of the scalp tissue,
• To support cellular renewal processes,
• To help hair strands look stronger,
• To support the hair’s natural growth cycle,
• It aims to help maintain hair density.

The results obtained may vary depending on the individual’s hair type, the cause of hair loss and the treatment plan followed.

In Which Situations Might It Be Preferred?

Growth Factor Therapy may be planned following a specialist assessment in the following circumstances:

• Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
• Seasonal hair loss
• Stress-related hair loss
• Thinning and weakened hair strands
• A reduction in hair density
• Supporting the recovery process following a hair transplant
• Regenerative programmes aimed at improving scalp health

For each patient, the cause of hair loss is first investigated, and a personalised treatment plan is drawn up accordingly.

What is the application process like?

Before treatment begins, a hair analysis is carried out to assess the type of hair loss, the condition of the hair follicles and the overall health of the scalp. Where necessary, laboratory tests or further assessments may be arranged.

Growth factor therapy is administered via controlled injections into the scalp. A local anaesthetic may be applied to the treatment area prior to the procedure. Whilst the duration of the session varies depending on the protocol used, the patient can resume their daily routine on the same day.

The treatment plan is not limited to a single session; it can be carried out at intervals determined according to the individual’s needs.

Why Dr Terziler?

A successful hair treatment depends not only on the method used, but also on an accurate diagnosis, a detailed hair analysis and a personalised treatment plan. As not all cases of hair loss are caused by the same factor, an individualised approach should be adopted rather than standardised treatments.

At Dr Terziler’s Clinic, Growth Factor Therapy is tailored to each individual following an in-depth hair analysis. Where necessary, it is combined with PRP, exosome therapies, hair mesotherapy, stem cell-supported regenerative treatments and medical therapies to create more comprehensive hair health programmes.

Our clinic’s approach is not merely to assess existing hair loss; it is to develop scientific and holistic treatment protocols that support the long-term health of hair follicles. In this way, we aim both to preserve the natural structure of the hair and to promote a stronger and healthier appearance.
