PRP/GFC
Dermanext Hair Transplant (DHT)
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) therapy are both regenerative therapies that leverage the body’s own healing properties to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, commonly applied for hair loss and skin rejuvenation.
GFC PRP, or Growth Factor Concentrate Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a breakthrough treatment that taps into the power of your own body’s natural healing abilities. This cutting-edge procedure uses concentrated growth factors from your blood to help regenerate your hair follicles and stimulate natural hair growth.
Historical Overview of Hair Treatment
Hair loss is a problem as old as human history. There are many examples of this in various historical documents. It is known that even the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar sought a cure for hair loss. It is even claimed that he used crowns made of laurel leaves to hide his hair loss. However, today, this problem can be easily solved with treatment methods based on scientific foundations without the need for old methods.
Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss can occur for many reasons, including unbalanced nutrition, excessive use of cosmetics, genetic factors, stress and advancing age. While hair care products often offer superficial solutions, treatments such as PRP provide long-term benefits by nourishing hair follicles.
What is PRP/GFC?
GFC PRP (Growth Factor Concentrate Platelet-Rich Plasma) is an advanced hair restoration treatment that uses the regenerative power of your own platelets, enriched with growth factors. These growth factors stimulate your hair follicles, encouraging healthy hair regrowth. Here’s how it works: we take a small sample of your blood, isolate and concentrate the growth factors, and then inject this powerful serum directly into your scalp. This revitalizes your hair and helps it grow stronger and thicker.
Benefits of PRP/GFC
PRP/GFC offers a variety of benefits for both skin and hair:
- Natural rejuvenation
- Improved skin texture and elasticity
- Enhanced hair growth
- Reduction of acne scars and hyperpigmentation
- Minimal downtime
- Long-lasting results
What to Expect During PRP/GFC Therapy
The procedure is straightforward and typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour. After drawing a small amount of blood, it is processed to extract the PRP or GFC. The concentrated plasma is then injected into the target areas. For hair restoration, this will be the scalp, and for skin rejuvenation, the treatment can be applied to the face, neck, or other areas of concern.You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these side effects usually subside within a day or two. There is minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your regular activities quickly.
How Does PRP/GFC Therapy Work?
The procedure for both PRP and GFC Therapy starts with a small sample of your blood being drawn. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the other components. In PRP Therapy, this plasma, rich in growth factors, is injected into areas where regeneration is needed-such as the scalp for hair restoration or the skin for anti-aging benefits.
In GFC Therapy, the process goes a step further. After the initial separation, the plasma is processed to isolate even more concentrated growth factors, creating a more effective solution. This highly concentrated GFC is then injected into the desired areas, where it stimulates stronger and more targeted tissue regeneration.
PRP/GFC Therapy for Hair Restoration
Hair thinning or loss can be distressing, but PRP/GFC Therapy offers a powerful solution to stimulate natural hair regrowth. By injecting the growth factors directly into the scalp, the treatment revives dormant hair follicles, improves scalp health, and enhances hair thickness and density. Patients typically start noticing improvements in hair quality after a few sessions, with continued growth and regeneration over time.
PRP/GFC Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation
PRP/GFC Therapy is equally effective for skin rejuvenation. The growth factors in the plasma promote the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for youthful, plump skin. This treatment is ideal for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, as well as improving overall skin texture and tone. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
