Overview

IGF stands for insulin-like growth factor. It occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in cell growth, repair and recovery. In hair treatment, the aim is to stimulate existing follicles and support healthy hair growth. At Ulusan Clinic in Izmir, suitability is assessed before a treatment plan is prepared.

What is IGF hair treatment?

IGF hair treatment is a separate approach from hair mesotherapy and AGF 39. The procedure begins with a blood sample. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, and the platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the scalp using fine needles.

The treatment aims to strengthen existing follicles, reduce shedding and support hair growth. It is intended to help hair regain strength and vitality by supporting the hair growth cycle.

The condition of the follicles matters. If they have been completely lost, IGF treatment may not be effective. The treatment is particularly aimed at younger people and those in the early stages of hair loss.

How is the treatment planned?

IGF is a serum-based treatment. Sessions are planned according to the size of the area and the condition of the scalp and hair. A consultation with a doctor or dermatologist helps establish whether it is appropriate for you and explains what the course of treatment involves.

The treatment is intended to support thicker, healthier-looking hair and may also be recommended as part of care after a hair transplant, with the aim of supporting recovery and the growth of transplanted hair.

What benefits does it aim to provide?

The aims include supporting blood flow around the follicles, slowing or reducing hair loss and encouraging thicker, stronger hair. Other aims include improving hair shine and the scalp’s moisture balance.

Hair structure and the causes of hair loss differ from person to person. A medical assessment is therefore important when deciding whether this treatment fits your needs.

Who may consider IGF treatment?

It may be considered for people with early or mild-to-moderate hair loss who want to support their existing hair. People seeking to improve the appearance and condition of their hair may also discuss it during a consultation.

Following a hair transplant, it may be considered as part of an individual aftercare plan. Your doctor assesses the condition of your follicles and scalp before recommending a course of treatment.

IGF hair treatment costs

The cost depends on the proposed treatment and the number of sessions. Ulusan Clinic recommends receiving this treatment from a doctor or a healthcare professional working under medical supervision. A consultation allows you to discuss the plan and receive a price for your individual needs.
