First in Australia: Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF) Hair & Skin Treatments

Hair and Skin Science is Australia’s largest and most trusted medical cosmetic clinic specialising in advanced hair regrowth and skin rejuvenation therapies. With clinics across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Canberra, and Adelaide, the clinic consistently pioneers cutting-edge treatments to deliver natural, lasting results.

Now, Hair and Skin Science is excited to announce that it will be the first clinic in Australia to offer Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF) therapy following imminent approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). CGF is an innovative regenerative treatment rapidly gaining global recognition for its superior results compared to traditional therapies like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF).

This groundbreaking therapy promises to transform the way Australians treat hair loss and skin ageing – a true leap forward in medical cosmetic science.

What is Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF)?

Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF) is a sophisticated, third-generation form of autologous platelet concentrate therapy that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate natural regeneration. Derived from blood samples, CGF is enriched with a higher concentration of essential growth factors and mesenchymal stem cells compared to PRP and PRF.

The advanced centrifugation process separates CGF, isolating not only platelets but also stem cells and bioactive proteins. This composition enhances tissue repair, collagen stimulation, and new blood vessel growth, making it highly effective for both hair regrowth and skin rejuvenation.

How CGF Works for Hair and Skin

CGF works by activating the body’s own regenerative mechanisms:

  • Hair Regrowth: It stimulates dormant hair follicles and promotes new blood vessel formation, improving hair density and thickness.

  • Skin Rejuvenation: CGF accelerates collagen and elastin production, reducing wrinkles, improving skin texture, and speeding recovery from skin damage or cosmetic procedures.

Its potent combination of growth factors and stem cells supports faster healing and sustained regenerative effects, delivering natural-looking, long-lasting improvements.

CGF vs PRP & PRF: What’s the Difference?

While PRP and PRF have been popular regenerative treatments, CGF offers key advantages:

  • Higher Concentration of Growth Factors and Stem Cells: CGF contains a more potent mix for enhanced regeneration.

  • Improved Healing: Stem cells in CGF encourage faster tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

  • Better Safety Profile: The fibrin matrix in CGF minimises infection risk and promotes sustained release of healing factors.

  • More Durable Results: CGF’s advanced formulation leads to longer-lasting hair and skin improvements.

This next-generation therapy builds on and exceeds the benefits of traditional platelet treatments, setting a new standard in regenerative medicine.

The Australian Breakthrough: Hair and Skin Science Leading the Way

Hair and Skin Science is proud to be Australia’s first clinic prepared to offer CGF therapy once TGA approval is confirmed, a milestone reflecting the clinic’s commitment to innovation, safety, and patient care.

The TGA approval process, which ensures that all treatments meet strict safety and efficacy criteria, is currently underway, with CGF expected to gain regulatory clearance soon. This will enable Australians to access this world-class therapy domestically for the first time.

Hair and Skin Science’s expert medical teams will deliver CGF treatments using state-of-the-art technology and the highest clinical standards, ensuring safe, effective, and personalised care.

What to Expect from a CGF Treatment at Hair and Skin Science

When CGF becomes available, the procedure will typically involve:

  1. Blood Collection: A small sample of your blood is drawn under sterile conditions.

  2. Processing: The blood is spun in a specialised centrifuge to extract the concentrated growth factors.

  3. Application: The CGF is injected into the scalp or applied to the skin using microneedling or injection techniques.

The treatment usually takes under an hour, with minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness or swelling that resolves within a day or two.

Results develop gradually as the growth factors stimulate regeneration – improvements in hair density and skin quality typically appear over 3–6 months. Hair and Skin Science offers tailored treatment plans based on your individual needs to maximise outcomes.
