PRP vs GFC for Hair Loss: Differences, Benefits and Who May Benefit
PRP and GFC both use growth factors from your own blood. Learn how they differ, who may benefit and what results to expect.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) are non-surgical treatments that use your own blood to support weak hair follicles.
What is PRP?
A small amount of blood is drawn and spun to separate plasma rich in platelets. This is then injected into the thinning areas of the scalp. Platelets release growth factors that may support follicle health.
What is GFC?
GFC is prepared from your blood using a specialised kit that concentrates the growth factors themselves. The final solution contains fewer cells and a more concentrated growth factor content.
Who may benefit?
- Early to moderate pattern hair loss in men and women.
- Thinning hair that still has active follicles.
- Support before or after a hair transplant.
These treatments cannot regrow hair where follicles are completely lost.
What to expect
Treatments are usually given as a series of sessions a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance. Response varies from person to person, and results are reviewed over several months.
Which one is right for you?
Your doctor will recommend PRP, GFC or a combination based on your scalp assessment, hair loss stage and overall plan.
