What is CGF
CGF (Concentrated Growth Factors) is a plasma extract derived from the patient’s own venous blood, containing a high concentration of growth factors and CD34+ stem cells. It is prepared through a variable-speed centrifugation technique without additives, and is rich in platelets, growth factors, and a fibrin matrix.
As an autologous product, it offers high safety, with no risk of immune rejection and reduced infection risk. It is suitable for all types of vitiligo patients, especially those with refractory or recurrent conditions who respond poorly to conventional treatments.
Top ↑Multi-target Synergy – Different from Traditional Treatments
Unlike treatments that rely solely on immunosuppression or melanocyte transplantation, CGF works through a closed-loop mechanism—repairing the microenvironment, activating cells, and regulating immunity—to fundamentally improve conditions for melanocyte regeneration.
Top ↑Mechanisms of CGF in Promoting Repigmentation
Activation of Melanocytes (Core Function)
① Directly activates dormant melanocytes, stimulating rapid proliferation and differentiation
② Enhances the activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis, accelerating melanin production
Top ↑Repair of Skin Microenvironment
① The fibrin scaffold in CGF helps repair damaged skin barriers, improves local microcirculation, and restores nutrient supply pathways for melanocytes
② Reduces external interference during recovery, providing a favorable environment for melanocyte survival
Top ↑Regulation of Local Immune Balance
CGF helps modulate the local immune microenvironment, reducing immune attacks on melanocytes, lowering disease fluctuation, and decreasing the risk of recurrence
Top ↑Combination Therapy
1. The treatment effect is better for vitiligo on face, neck, trunk, arms and legs.
2. Patients not beyond 18 years old, and week vitiligo patients.
3. Pregnant women.
4.For development period vitiligo patients, Xtrac excimer laser treatment system has better effect.
Top ↑Why Laser Therapy Has No Effect To Some Vitiligo Patients
① Combined with Phototherapy (Most Common)
After CGF injection, 308 nm excimer laser treatment can enhance the skin’s sensitivity and absorption to light, resulting in faster, stronger, and more reliable repigmentation.
② The combination of CGF and phototherapy can significantly shorten the repigmentation cycle
Combined with Topical Medications
Can be used with topical agents such as Tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) to further improve efficacy
④ Combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine
When combined with oral herbal medicine, it may further enhance therapeutic outcomes
