What is PRP therapy for hair loss?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves injecting concentrated platelets from your own blood into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) treatment is similar to PRP but focuses on extracting and concentrating growth factors to enhance hair growth.
Who is an ideal candidate for PRP or GFC treatment?
Ideal candidates are those with thinning hair or early hair loss who want to improve hair density without surgery.
How is the procedure performed?
Blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets or growth factors, and then injected into the scalp.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes.
What is the recovery time?
There is minimal downtime, and most patients can return to normal activities immediately.
How many sessions are needed?
Multiple sessions are often needed, usually 3 to 6 treatments spaced a month apart, followed by maintenance treatments.
Results can typically be seen within 3 to 6 months after the initial treatments.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal but can include mild scalp pain, redness, or swelling at the injection sites.
How long do the results last?
Results can last up to a year or more, with periodic maintenance sessions recommended.
