Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) are two of the most sought-after treatments for hair regrowth. Both treatments involve using the body’s natural growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, but they work in slightly different ways. Understanding the differences between PRP and GFC can help individuals make an informed choice for their hair restoration journey.
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, processing it to extract platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into the scalp. The platelets release growth factors that promote hair growth, improve scalp health, and strengthen hair follicles. This method is widely used for hair thinning and early-stage hair loss.
On the other hand, GFC therapy is a more advanced version of PRP. It involves a specialized process where high concentrations of growth factors are extracted, making the treatment more potent. GFC requires fewer sessions compared to PRP and offers faster, more effective results. Since it contains only growth factors and no red or white blood cells, there is a reduced risk of inflammation.
Both treatments have shown significant success in combating hair loss and improving hair density. At ELAN AESTHETICS, our experts assess each patient’s condition to recommend the most suitable treatment for optimal results.
