GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are two distinct hair treatment approaches aimed at promoting hair growth and improving the overall health of the scalp and hair follicles.
GFC involves the extraction and concentration of growth factors from the patient's own blood. The blood is processed to isolate the growth factors, and the resulting concentrate is then applied to the scalp.
The growth factors in GFC can stimulate the hair follicles, promoting hair growth.
GFC may enhance blood circulation in the scalp, providing better nourishment to the hair follicles.
GFC is believed to help in reducing hair thinning and promoting thicker, healthier hair.
Since it uses the patient's own blood, GFC is considered a natural and autologous approach, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
PRP involves the extraction of the patient's blood, followed by the centrifugation of the blood to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the scalp.
PRP contains growth factors that may stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.
PRP is thought to improve the thickness and health of existing hair.
PRP treatments may help in reducing hair loss and preventing further thinning.
PRP is a relatively quick and minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a medical office.
