The main difference between PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and GFC (growth factor concentrate) therapies is what you inject into the scalp. Both therapies utilize your own blood to manage hair loss. PRP injects live and whole platelets. GFC uses a cleaner, cell-free concentrate that injects active growth factors directly to the roots.

PRP Method: A doctor draws your blood and spins it in a centrifuge to isolate a layer of platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is immediately injected into your scalp. Once inside, these platelets naturally break open to release growth factors that kickstart dormant hair follicles.

GFC Method: Your blood is drawn into a high-tech kit containing a specialized activation gel. The blood sits in the tube for about 30 minutes so the platelets release all their growth factors into the tube. The blood is then spun, completely separating out the cellular waste. Only the pure, concentrated growth factor serum is pulled into the syringe and delivered directly to your roots.

Which one should you choose?
Based on clinical trial evidence, GFC offers better and more significant outcomes in hair density and thickness compared to traditional PRP; thus, it is the best option for patients with moderate to severe hair loss, a low pain threshold or those who desire rapid outcomes, whereas for mild hair loss and those on the bottom lines, PRP still stands as a truly brilliant and highly reliable solution. I have seen daily searches for “GFC treatment cost in Ludhiana” in some reports. You have to consider that it is your choice and depends on you.
