Hair getting thinner? Understanding PRP and GFC

Hair that slowly gets thinner can have many causes, from hormones and nutrition to stress and genetics, so the first step is always finding out why. Where it is suitable, treatments such as PRP and GFC can be added to support the scalp.

How they work

• A small sample of your own blood is taken
• It is processed to separate the platelets and growth factors from the rest
• The concentrate is then injected into the scalp to support the hair follicles
• GFC is a more concentrated, refined version of the same idea

What to expect

A course usually means several sessions (typically 3 to 6, depending on the treatment) with little downtime. Hair care is gradual, and your dermatologist will tell you what is realistic for you. This is general information, not a diagnosis.
