Hair fall and thinning can be distressing and may affect self-confidence. At Narayana’s Hospital, Fatehabad, we offer advanced PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) therapy for effective and natural hair regrowth.
These treatments are performed by Dr. Sapna, best dermatologist in Fatehabad, using safe, evidence-based techniques to stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve hair density.
Here’s a clear table comparing PRP and GFC:

| Use | Hair regrowth, skin rejuvenation, scars | Hair restoration, advanced skin rejuvenation, scars |
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
