Losing your hair can feel disheartening, especially when it impacts your self-confidence. Hair loss can result from various factors such as hereditary hair loss, ageing, or lifestyle. For many, maintaining hair growth can be challenging.
At White Hill Clinic in Sydney, we offer hair restoration treatments including growth factor treatment for hair. Whether you’re dealing with female pattern hair loss, thinning hair, or male pattern baldness, our clinic can provide information about various options.
What is Growth Factor Treatment?
Growth factor treatment is a hair loss treatment that aims to promote hair regrowth by utilising natural growth factors found in your body. These growth factors are intended to stimulate the activity of hair follicles, potentially encouraging the development of new hair growth and improving overall hair density.
This treatment involves isolating growth factors from your blood or tissue and injecting them directly into your scalp. The procedure is designed to treat hair loss by potentially stimulating the dormant follicles, which may reduce further hair thinning, and could promote healthy hair growth.
Potential Benefits of Growth Factor Treatment
Growth factor treatment may offer several key benefits, making it an option to consider for both men and women experiencing hair loss:
- May Stimulate Natural Hair Growth: Growth factors are intended to directly stimulate hair follicles, potentially encouraging them to re-enter the growth phase and produce new, thicker hair.
- Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive: Unlike a traditional hair transplant surgery, growth factor treatment is a non-invasive option with minimal discomfort and no significant recovery time.
- Potential to Improve Hair Density: The treatment may lead to thicker, fuller hair by improving the density of existing hair follicles and potentially regrowing lost hair.
- May Slow Down Hair Loss: Regular treatments could help slow the progression of thinning hair, potentially preventing further hair loss in many patients.
- Suitable for Both Genders: Whether you are experiencing female pattern hair loss or male pattern baldness, growth factor treatment can be considered for both men and women.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike hair transplantation, the procedure is quick, and most patients can typically return to their daily routine soon afterward.
These potential benefits make growth factor treatment an option to consider for anyone looking to explore ways to promote hair growth without committing to more invasive procedures.
The Growth Factor Treatment Procedure
The growth factor hair treatment procedure is straightforward and minimally invasive. Here’s how it typically works:
- Initial Consultation: The process begins with a detailed consultation with one of our specialists to assess your scalp condition and the health of your hair follicle to determine suitability for the treatment.
- Preparation: A small sample of blood or tissue is taken and processed to extract the growth factors.
- Injection: The growth factors are injected into targeted areas of the scalp where hair thinning is most prominent.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, you will be provided with care instructions to support optimal results and help manage discomfort.
The procedure is typically performed within an hour and often requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Growth Factor Treatment Cost
The cost of growth factor treatment varies depending on individual factors, such as the severity of hair loss, the number of sessions required, and the overall treatment plan. During your consultation, a personalised quote will be provided based on your specific needs.

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, though they are generally minimal for growth factor hair treatment. Some possible side effects may include:
- Temporary redness or swelling at the injection site
- Mild discomfort in the treated area

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see results from growth factor treatment?
Patients may begin to notice hair growth improvements within 3-6 months. Results can vary depending on the individual and the severity of hair loss. Hair follicles require time to regenerate, and consistent treatment may help stimulate hair growth and regrow hair in areas affected by thinning or loss.
Can growth factor treatment stop my hair from falling out?
Growth factor treatment may help slow down or stop hair loss by potentially strengthening the hair follicles and promoting new hair growth. Although it may not fully prevent you from losing hair in the future, it could reduce hair thinning and delay the progression of various types of hair loss in some cases.
How many sessions are required for optimal results?
Most patients may benefit from 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions needed will vary based on the severity of your hair loss and your individual response to treatment. Consistent treatments may help maintain hair density and could support long-term success in reducing unwanted hair growth and thinning.
Is growth factor treatment safe?
Yes, growth factor treatment is generally considered safe, as it uses your body’s natural growth factors to aim to stimulate hair growth. The side effects are generally minimal and may include temporary redness or mild swelling at the injection sites. This procedure is a low-risk option for those seeking non-invasive hair loss treatments to explore ways to improve hair growth.
What is the difference between growth factor treatment and other hair restoration methods?
Growth factor treatment is one of several non-surgical options designed to potentially stimulate hair growth and address hair loss. It specifically focuses on isolating growth factors that may regulate cell growth and regeneration. Other hair restoration methods might use different approaches or technologies to target hair loss. The choice of treatment often depends on individual factors such as the type and extent of hair loss, overall health, and personal preferences. During your consultation, we can provide more detailed information about various treatment options and help determine which approach might be best suited for your specific needs.
