OVERVIEW

At Big Derma Hair Transplant Clinic, we combine cutting-edge science with proven techniques to offer the best solutions for hair loss and thinning. Our PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) treatments are designed to stimulate natural hair regrowth, strengthen existing follicles, and restore confidence — all through minimally invasive procedures
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?
PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the healing and growth factors from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles and promote new growth.
The PRP Process: How It Works
The procedure is straightforward and minimally invasive:
- 1. Blood Draw: A small sample of blood is taken from your arm, just like a routine test.
- Centrifugation:The blood is placed in a centrifuge machine that spins at high speed, separating the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
- Technology and Technique: Standard FUE is common, but advanced variations like Sapphire FUE or DHI may cost more due to the precision tools involved, which can lead to even more natural results and faster healing
- Injection: The concentrated PRP, rich in growth factors, is carefully injected into the scalp in areas experiencing hair thinning or loss.
The growth factors in PRP, such as VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) and EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), work to increase blood supply to the hair follicles, prolong the growth phase of hair, and increase hair shaft thickness.


Key Benefits of PRP Treatment
- Natural & Safe: Uses your own blood, eliminating risk of allergic reactions or communicable diseases.
- Minimally Invasive: No surgical cuts or significant downtime.
- Versatile: Effective as a standalone treatment and can enhance results from hair transplant surgery.
- Improves Hair Health: Can lead to thicker, denser hair and a reduction in hair fall.
What is GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) Therapy?
GFC is often considered the next generation of plasma therapy. It involves extracting a purified and highly concentrated solution of growth factors from your blood, which is then injected into the scalp for hair restoration.
The GFC Process: How It Works
While similar to PRP, the GFC process uses a specialized kit for a more refined output:
- 1. Blood Draw: A blood sample is collected from the patient.
- Activation & Centrifugation:The blood is transferred to special GFC tubes containing an activator. After resting, the tubes are centrifuged to separate a pure layer of growth factors from other blood cells like red and white blood cells.
- Injection: This purified concentrate of growth factors is injected superficially into the scalp.
Key Benefits of GFC Treatment:
- Higher Growth Factor Concentration: The final injectable product is a pure concentrate of growth factors, potentially leading to more potent results.
- Reduced Inflammation: The removal of white blood cells may lead to less post-treatment inflammation and discomfort.
- Targeted Action: Delivers a powerful dose of growth factors directly to the hair follicles to stimulate regeneration.
- Fast Results with Fewer Sessions: Due to its concentrated nature, patients may see noticeable results in fewer sessions.
PRP vs GFC: Which Hair Loss Treatment is Right for You?
Choosing between PRP and GFC depends on your individual hair loss condition, goals, and medical advice. The table below outlines the core differences to help you understand.
Feature PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate)
Core Composition Plasma with a concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors. Purified concentrate of only growth factors, with other blood cells removed.
Preparation Single-step centrifugation to separate plasma. Uses a specialized kit and activator; often involves a more refined centrifugation process.
Inflammation Risk Slightly higher potential for inflammation due to presence of white blood cells. Lower risk of inflammation due to purified formula.
Typical Sessions Often requires 3-6 initial sessions with maintenance boosters. May show results in fewer sessions (e.g., 3-4) due to higher potency.
Ideal Candidate Those with recent hair loss or thinning (not complete baldness); good for male and female pattern hair loss. Individuals in early or intermediate stages of alopecia; those seeking a more refined treatment.
Primary Mechanism Stimulates dormant follicles, increases blood flow, and thickens hair shafts. Directly delivers concentrated growth factors to follicles to promote regeneration and a healthier scalp environment.
