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 thinner, 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, increase the biological activity of the scalp and support the hair growth cycle.

In modern hair treatments, Growth Factor applications are regarded as an important part of personalised, combined treatment protocols.

How Does Growth Factor Therapy Work?

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

Growth Factor Therapy:

• Aims to support the biological activity of hair follicles,
• contribute to improving the tissue quality of the scalp,
• Support cellular renewal processes,
• To help hair strands appear stronger,
• Support the hair’s natural growth cycle,
• and to help maintain hair density.

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

In Which Cases Might It Be Recommended?

Growth Factor Treatment may be planned following a specialist assessment in the following situations:

• Genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
• Seasonal hair loss
• Stress-related hair loss
• Thinning and weakening hair strands
• Decreased 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 treatment process?

Prior to treatment, 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 additional 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 each session varies depending on the protocol, patients can resume their daily activities on the same day.

The treatment plan is not limited to a single session and can be administered at intervals determined according to the individual’s needs.

Why Dr Terziler?

A successful hair treatment is not solely dependent on the method used; it is made possible by accurate diagnosis, detailed hair analysis and a personalised treatment plan. As not all hair loss is caused by the same factor, an individualised approach should be adopted rather than standardised procedures.

At Dr Terziler’s Clinic, Growth Factor Therapy is planned on a personalised basis following an advanced 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 current hair loss; it is to develop scientific and holistic treatment protocols that support the long-term health of hair follicles. In this way, the aim is both to preserve the natural structure of the hair and to promote a stronger and healthier appearance.
