Growth Factor

Growth Factor for hair is a concentrated multivitamin and peptide injection treatment delivered directly into the scalp. The formulation is a carefully balanced blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, peptides, and biological growth-stimulating compounds — designed to deeply nourish the hair follicles, prevent shedding, stimulate new growth, and restore healthy hair quality. The treatment works on a simple principle: hair follicles are biological structures that need a specific cocktail of nutrients to function optimally. When the follicle is undernourished — whether from stress, hormonal imbalance, deficiencies, or aging — hairs grow thinner, shorter, and shed faster. Growth Factor injections deliver these nutrients directly where they're needed, bypassing the digestive system entirely for maximum bioavailability. Unlike oral hair vitamins (which lose most of their potency in digestion) or topical hair products (which barely penetrate the scalp surface), Growth Factor injections place the active ingredients exactly at the level of the hair follicle root — where they can actually work.

Why it works?

• Prevents and significantly reduces hair shedding
• Stimulates new hair growth from existing follicles
• Fills visible thinning gaps in the scalp
• Restores healthy hair appearance — shinier, stronger, fuller-looking hair
• Nourishes the scalp environment for long-term hair health
• Strengthens hair shaft thickness — each strand becomes more resilient
• Improves scalp circulation and follicle oxygenation
• Reduces dryness, itchiness, and irritation of the scalp
• Compatible with all hair types and colors. Safe for both men and women
• No surgery, no scars, minimal discomfort, no real downtime
• Excellent maintenance treatment between more advanced therapies (Exosomes, PRP, transplants)

How the session works?

• Anyone experiencing recent or ongoing hair shedding
• Patients with hair thinning or visible reduction in density
• Post-pregnancy women with significant hair loss
• Patients dealing with hair changes from stress, illness, hormonal shifts, or diet
• People with weak, brittle, or dull hair quality
• Anyone wanting to protect and strengthen existing hair before significant loss occurs
• Patients with dry scalp, mild irritation, or scalp imbalance
• Hair transplant patients during the recovery and maintenance phase
• Patients combining Growth Factor with Minoxidil, Finasteride, or other treatments
• Anyone wanting an excellent maintenance treatment between Exosomes or PRP sessions
• Men and women of all ages — especially appropriate for those in early to moderate hair loss stages

Safety first

Growth Factor hair treatment is not suitable in the following cases. A full scalp and medical assessment is always done before treatment at Hollywood Clinic.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding (some vitamin combinations are not advised)
• Active scalp infection, severe dermatitis, or open wounds in the treatment area
• Active herpes outbreak on the scalp
• Severe uncontrolled diabetes or impaired healing capacity
• Bleeding or clotting disorders, or current use of strong blood thinners — requires medical review
• Severe autoimmune conditions affecting the scalp
• Known allergy to any of the vitamin or peptide components in the formulation — disclose all allergies during consultation
• Fever or acute illness at the time of the session
• Active chemotherapy or recent radiation — wait until cleared by your oncologist
• Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia where follicles are permanently destroyed — Growth Factor won't regenerate dead follicles
• A full medical history and scalp assessment are always conducted before Growth Factor at Hollywood Clinic. If your hair loss has a hormonal, nutritional, or thyroid root cause, the doctor may recommend lab tests and addressing that cause alongside the treatment.

Quality You Can Trust

• Hollywood Clinic uses pharmaceutical-grade, pre-mixed Growth Factor formulations that contain a carefully balanced combination of compounds known to support hair follicle function
• Vitamins: B-complex vitamins (essential for hair shaft formation), Biotin (B7 — supports keratin production), Vitamin D analogs, Pantothenic acid (B5 — strengthens hair), and other targeted vitamin cofactors
• Amino Acids: Cysteine, Methionine, Arginine, and other amino acids that serve as the building blocks of keratin — the protein that hair is made of
• Minerals & Trace Elements: Zinc, copper, magnesium, and other minerals essential for healthy follicle metabolism and pigment formation
• Peptides: Specific signaling peptides that support follicle proliferation and extend the hair's growth phase
• Growth-Stimulating Compounds: Biological cofactors that improve circulation around the follicle and signal hair growth
• Important note: 'Growth Factor for hair' in the market refers to several different product categories with very different quality levels. Hollywood Clinic uses only authentic pharmaceutical-grade, sterile, single-use formulations from established manufacturers. Cheaper versions may use unverified compounded mixtures with no quality control.

Growth Factor vs. Other Hair Treatments

Mild discomfort during injections — most patients describe it as small, brief pricks. Topical numbing cream can be applied before the session to make it more comfortable. After the session there's no real pain.

A typical Growth Factor course is 4–6 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart for the initial phase. After that, maintenance sessions every 1–3 months are recommended depending on your hair condition. Your doctor will design a schedule for your specific case.

Hair shedding usually reduces within 3–4 weeks. New hair growth and improved density become visible after 6–8 weeks and continue developing over 3–4 months. Hair biology takes time — patience is essential.

Yes — authentic pharmaceutical-grade formulations are very safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. Side effects are mild and temporary (slight redness, brief tenderness, tiny pinpoint marks for a few hours). Hollywood Clinic uses only sterile, single-use materials.

Growth Factor helps slow down hair loss in hereditary cases and strengthens existing hair, but it's not the most powerful treatment for advanced hereditary baldness on its own. For hereditary hair loss specifically, Exosomes are typically more powerful — and many doctors recommend combining the two, or combining Growth Factor with Minoxidil and Finasteride, depending on the case.

With a complete course plus maintenance sessions every 1–3 months, results can be sustained long-term. Without maintenance, the underlying causes of hair loss will gradually return — Growth Factor doesn't permanently change the biology, it provides ongoing support.

No real downtime. You can return to normal activities immediately. We ask you to avoid washing your hair, swimming, or heavy sweating for 24 hours after the session for optimal absorption.

Yes — Growth Factor pairs excellently with Exosomes, PRP, Minoxidil, Finasteride, and hair transplants. It's often used as part of a multi-treatment plan and is especially valuable as ongoing maintenance between more advanced therapies.

In everyday market use, the two terms overlap significantly. Strictly, Mesotherapy is the injection technique, while Growth Factor refers to a specific category of formulation (typically more concentrated, with peptide/signaling compounds in addition to vitamins). The line between the two has blurred in clinical practice — what matters is the quality and authenticity of the formulation being used.
