What is GFC/PRP?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a regenerative treatment in which platelets are extracted from the patient’s own blood and injected into the scalp. Platelets are rich in growth factors that:

  • Stimulate hair follicles

  • Improve blood supply to the scalp

  • Reduce hair fall

  • Promote new hair growth

Because PRP uses your own blood, it is safe and biocompatible

PRP and GFC therapy are effective for:

  • Male pattern hair loss

  • Female pattern hair loss

  • Thinning hair

  • Excessive hair fall

  • Early stages of alopecia

  • Hair fall due to stress or hormonal imbalance
