Exos-GFC combines two advanced therapies — Exosomes and Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC). GFC is a more potent version of PRP. It concentrates only the growth proteins from your blood — removing unnecessary blood cells — so the active ingredients are much stronger. Studies show GFC has 7–10x higher growth factor concentrations than PRP. Exosomes are added on top of this. They are tiny cellular messengers that carry repair signals directly into dormant follicle cells. While GFC feeds the follicle from outside, Exosomes work at a deeper, cellular level. Therefore, the combined effect is significantly stronger and faster than PRP alone.

The treatment involves micro-injections into the scalp. However, a numbing cream is applied first — so discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe a mild pressure sensation, not pain. The session takes 20–30 minutes and is well-tolerated. After the session, the scalp may feel slightly tender for a few hours. But there is no significant discomfort and no recovery period needed. You can return to your day immediately after.

Most patients need 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Because Exos-GFC is more concentrated than PRP, fewer sessions are needed to achieve the same — or better — results. The exact number depends on your hair loss stage, scalp condition and how your follicles respond after the first session. Your dermatologist will confirm the plan after your trichoscopy assessment. Maintenance sessions — typically once or twice a year — help sustain results long term.

Results come in stages. First, hair fall reduces — typically within 3–4 weeks of the first session. Next, new growth begins to appear between 6–10 weeks. After that, hair density and thickness continue to improve over the following 6–9 months. So while the first visible sign — less shedding — comes quickly, the full result builds over several months. Trichoscopy at your follow-up visits tracks these changes objectively.

Exos-GFC is safe. The GFC component is 100% autologous — made from your own blood — so there is zero risk of allergy or rejection. Medical-grade Exosomes are prepared under strict sterile conditions. Mild side effects at the injection sites — such as temporary redness, minor swelling or slight soreness — can occur. However, these typically resolve within a few hours. There are no systemic side effects. The treatment is performed by certified dermatologists at Maynee, so all safety protocols are followed at every session.

Yes — and this is actually one of the most common reasons patients choose Exos-GFC at Maynee. Because GFC has 7–10x higher growth factor concentrations than PRP, it reaches follicles that PRP could not stimulate adequately. Furthermore, Exosomes penetrate follicle cells at a cellular level — going deeper than growth factors alone. So even if PRP produced limited improvement, Exos-GFC often produces noticeable results. A trichoscopy first confirms whether your follicles are still viable for treatment.

Yes. Exos-GFC is effective for both men and women. In men, it works particularly well for androgenetic alopecia and hairline recession. In women, it is especially effective for diffuse thinning, postpartum hair fall and hormonal shedding. Because it is non-hormonal and drug-free, it also works for patients who prefer to avoid oral medications. Your dermatologist confirms whether Exos-GFC is suitable for your specific hair loss type at the trichoscopy assessment.

Yes. Exos-GFC combines very well with Oxygen Laser Therapy (OLT). OLT improves scalp blood flow and the cellular environment — so Exos-GFC becomes more effective when administered afterward. Scalp mesotherapy can also be combined for additional nutrient delivery. Your dermatologist at Maynee will recommend the best combination based on your trichoscopy findings and hair loss stage. In most cases, a combined approach delivers faster and more complete outcomes than any single treatment alone.

Before each session: wash your hair with a mild shampoo on the day of the session. Do not apply oil, serum or any styling product to the scalp. Stay well-hydrated. Inform your dermatologist about any new medications since your last visit. After each session: avoid washing your scalp for 6–8 hours. You can then return to your normal routine — there is no significant downtime. However, avoid direct sun on the scalp, swimming pools and steam rooms for 48 hours. Follow your prescribed home-care shampoo and supplement protocol consistently between sessions — this directly supports the clinical treatment and affects your overall results.

The cost depends on the total number of sessions, whether Exosomes and GFC are combined or used separately, and whether the treatment is part of a combination programme with OLT or mesotherapy. Because every programme at Maynee is personalised after a trichoscopy assessment, we do not apply flat-rate pricing regardless of condition. A full and transparent cost breakdown is provided at your first consultation after your dermatologist has assessed your scalp and built your treatment plan. There are no hidden charges and no pressure to commit on the day.
