Growth factor injections are a revolutionary treatment that helps transform thin, brittle hair into strong, thick locks.
Acting like liquid fertiliser for your scalp, they harness the power of your body's natural repair and growth factors to treat thinning hair, male and female pattern baldness, AKA androgenic alopecia.
With their proven results and growing popularity, it's no wonder they’re becoming a go-to choice for hair loss treatment in Melbourne.
Growth factor injections are a safe, effective and scientifically proven non-surgical treatment for hair loss and thinning hair.
They work by taking a small amount of a patient’s blood and placing it into a centrifuge to isolate the body’s natural repair and growth factors. This concentrate is injected into the scalp to stimulate the hair follicle and promote growth.
It’s a perfect adjunct to FUE hair transplant surgery to speed up the healing process or as an isolated treatment. It is also an excellent complementary therapy to skin needling and CO2 laser resurfacing for skin rejuvenation

Growth factor therapy harnesses the power of our body’s naturally derived growth factors in a concentrated form. It stimulates the hair follicle by promoting new blood vessels and increasing the number of cells through growth and division.
When used for skin rejuvenation, the drawcard to growth factor injections is its ability to strengthen, tone and tighten the skin using a non-surgical approach.
To understand the science behind hair regrowth, we must first understand the hair growth cycle and what causes hair loss.
Hair growth is cyclical, with three main phases: anagen (growth stage), catagen (transition stage), and telogen (rest stage). New hair will grow once the resting phase is complete and the old hair has fallen out. However, if the hair follicle is damaged severely enough for genetic or environmental reasons, hair won’t regrow. If the hair follicle shrinks, hair will grow back thinner.
Hair loss treatments, such as growth factor injections, are designed to stimulate the hair follicle with a new blood supply. They support the repair of the hair follicle and its size, restarting the hair growth cycle and creating thicker hair strands.
At The Derm Lab, we’ve used growth factor injections on thousands of patients to restore their confidence with thicker and healthier hair. We’re often asked how long it takes to see results.
It’s important to note that the timeline for growth factor hair loss treatment results can vary significantly due to numerous factors.
It depends on your age, genetics, overall health and the severity of your hair loss or thinning.
On average, based on our patient’s results, we estimate you’ll see noticeable results after 2-3 months; however, there are no guarantees.

If you’re looking for a natural, safe, and effective hair loss treatment to improve hair health and thickness, consider growth factor injections.
They’re also a fantastic combination therapy injected the day of and day ten post hair transplant, acting as liquid fertiliser to promote healing and kick off the new hair follicles growth cycle in its new location.
The main advantage of growth factor injections over other hair loss treatments, such as Manual FUE hair transplant or ARTAS iX Robotic Hair Transplant, is its non-surgical nature. This means less downtime, less risk and a more comfortable experience for our patients.
However, keep in mind that while this non-surgical treatment is very effective and growing in popularity, it doesn’t produce as significant hair regrowth results as other treatments.
Growth factor injections are ideal for improving hair quality, thickness and strength. Hair transplants are better suited for enhancing the quantity and density of hair by stimulating the production of new hair growth.

Growth factor injections may cause some pain. The sensitivity can vary depending on the treatment area, and a topical anesthetic can help reduce the pain.
While results vary from patient to patient, we’ve found that growth factor injections work particularly well to improve healing and recovery time. They’re a fantastic supplementary therapy paired with our hair transplants, skin needling, and CO2 laser resurfacing.
