Hair loss can significantly impact an individual's self-confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, there are continually evolving and advanced hair restoration treatments available, and PRP therapy represents a promising option.

PRP stands for "Platelet-Pich Plasma" whereas GFC stands for ‘GROWTH FACTOR CONCENTRATE’.

Both procedure involves a straightforward three-step process:

01.

Blood Collection: Initially, a small amount of blood is drawn, typically from the patient's arm.

02.

Centrifugation : The drawn blood is processed through a centrifuge, which separates it into three distinct layers: platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma, and red blood cells.

03.

PRP Injection : The platelet-rich plasma, which contains a concentrated amount of growth factors, is isolated from the processed blood. It is then skillfully injected into the scalp and hair follicles.

PRP vs GFC THERAPY

Hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) therapy are both non-surgical treatments used to address hair loss and promote hair regrowth. While they share similarities in their use of the body's natural substances to stimulate hair follicles, they have distinct differences:

Treatment Substance

01.

PRP Therapy: In PRP therapy, a patient's own blood is drawn, processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injected into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that help stimulate hair follicles.

02.

GFC Therapy : GFC therapy also uses the patient's blood but focuses on isolating growth factors. It involves a more specific extraction and concentration of these growth factors, which are then injected into the scalp to promote hair growth.

Growth Factor Concentration:

01.

PRP Therapy: PRP contains a broader range of components, including platelets, white blood cells, and some growth factors.

02.

GFC Therapy : GFC therapy isolates and concentrates growth factors more precisely, potentially providing a higher concentration of the specific proteins responsible for hair growth.

Treatment Effectiveness:

01.

PRP Therapy: PRP is known to be effective in promoting hair regrowth in some individuals, particularly those with early-stage hair loss or thinning. Results can vary, and multiple sessions may be required.

02.

GFC Therapy: GFC therapy aims to provide a more targeted and potent boost to hair follicles. It is designed to offer potentially more robust and consistent results in terms of hair growth.

Customization:

01.

PRP Therapy: PRP therapy can be customized to some extent, but the concentration of growth factors may not be as precise as in GFC therapy.

02.

GFC Therapy: GFC therapy allows for a more tailored approach, with a focus on specific growth factors that are crucial for hair follicle stimulation.

Cost

01.

PRP Therapy : Generally, PRP therapy may be more affordable than GFC therapy because it involves a simpler preparation process.

02.

GFC Therapy : GFC therapy may be relatively more expensive due to the specialized processing required to concentrate growth factors.

Ultimately, the choice between PRP and GFC therapy depends on individual preferences, the severity of hair loss, and the desired level of effectiveness. Consulting with hair restoration specialist can help determine which treatment is most suitable for a person's specific hair loss condition.
