Both use your own blood to regrow hair — but how do PRP and GFC compare? Here is what you need to know.
Regenerative therapies have transformed non-surgical hair restoration. Two of the most popular are PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate). Both use your own blood, but there are important differences.
PRP Therapy
PRP concentrates platelets from your blood, which release growth factors when injected into the scalp. It is affordable, safe and effective for early hair loss.
GFC Therapy
GFC goes a step further, producing a purified, higher concentration of specific growth factors. This can result in more consistent and potent stimulation of hair follicles.
Which Is Better?
GFC generally offers higher growth-factor concentration and consistency, while PRP remains a proven, cost-effective option. Your dermatologist will recommend the best fit after assessing your scalp.
