GFC vs PRP for Hair Regrowth: What’s the Difference?

Confused between PRP and GFC for hair loss? You’re not alone. Both are popular, non-surgical treatments — but they work slightly differently. Let’s break it down in a simple, honest way.

What is PRP?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own blood. After processing, the platelet-rich portion is injected into the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles.

  • Improves hair thickness
  • Reduces hair fall
  • Strengthens existing hair

What is GFC?

GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is an advanced version of PRP. It extracts only the most potent growth factors, making the treatment more targeted and refined.

  • Higher growth factor concentration
  • Minimal inflammation
  • More predictable results
Factor PRP GFC
Technology Platelet-based Purified growth factors
Pain & Swelling Mild swelling possible Minimal discomfort
Sessions Needed 3–6 sessions 3–4 sessions
Best For Early hair thinning Moderate hair loss

When Will You See Results?

Both PRP and GFC need patience. Hair growth is gradual — but very real.

  • 1–2 months: Hair fall reduces
  • 3–4 months: New baby hair appears
  • 6 months: Visible density improvement

Choose PRP if:

  • You have early hair thinning
  • You want a budget-friendly option
  • Your hair loss is stress or lifestyle related

Choose GFC if:

  • Hair loss is more noticeable
  • You want faster, consistent results
  • You prefer minimal downtime
