About our patented growth factors (for hair) in Australia
Patented growth factors (PGF) is a new technology that can be used as a powerful alternative to PRP (platelet rich plasma).
PGFs work by supplementing the natural growth factor production that decreases as we age. It can reverse the cell ageing process, fade scars, and boost the body’s natural repair process for hair follicles and skin.
Patented growth factors contain a high concentration of conditioned media that retain specific growth factors, cytokines, and interleukins. This technology was originally discovered through wound healing and cell regeneration therapy in 3rd degree burn victims. PGFs use advanced cell sorting technology, allowing for greater penetration and effectiveness.
Hair and Skin Science is proudly the only medical cosmetic clinic in Australia to offer Patented growth factors as a potential solution for hair loss. Our PGFs are formulated with specificity and maintained stability, providing you with the best opportunity to maximise results.
Patented growth factors can be effective for:
Genetic related hair loss
Stress related hair loss
Alopecia related hair loss
Hormonal related hair loss
Age related hair loss
Patients with very low pain tolerance
Limited availability
A maximum of only two treatments per patient is currently available – this is due to the demand and very limited supply of the product.
What the procedure looks like…
Patients who opt for patented growth factors are looking for a powerful alternative to PRP. Unlike PRP, PGFs is already prepared in a sterile vial and does not require blood to be taken from the patient. The prepared PGFs is drawn up in a small needle by a registered nurse and is then the entire scalp is micro-needed. This hair loss treatment is ideal for patients with a very low pain tolerance.
We also use a technique called micro-needling on the entire scalp, which can also encourage blood circulation, helping stimulate hair follicles.
Recovery & additional treatments
Following the procedure, in some rare circumstances, your scalp may be mildly sore, but many patients don’t experience any discomfort. You can go about your daily activities immediately. Just don’t shampoo your hair or do strenuous exercise for 12 hours after the treatment.
Patented Growth Factors for Women
About 40 percent of women can experience hair loss and thinning by the time they’re 50. In Women, the thinning usually starts at the part line, and they may develop sparse areas at the temple.
Patented Growth Factors for men
A powerful alternative to PRP. PGF has been engineered to be a non-surgical & non invasive option for men who are experiencing hair loss and thinning. The most common culprit of male hair loss is male pattern baldness.

People who undergo patented growth factor treatment can notice a dramatic decrease in shedding fairly soon. Their hair may begin to sprout, and it can often grow faster than expected. Still, it can take some time to notice the change. Hair grows usually about half an inch every month. Hair and Skin Science has found that patients usually notice significant results in 3 months from the beginning of treatment, with patients normally experiencing maximum results up to 12 months.
