PRP &GFC:
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) treatment is an advanced regenerative therapy used to promote healing and tissue regeneration. This procedure involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then re-injecting it into the targeted area, such as joints, tendons, or areas of hair thinning. The growth factors in the concentrate stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, accelerating tissue repair and improving cell regeneration. PRP GFC treatment is popular in orthopedics for musculoskeletal injuries, as well as in dermatology for hair restoration. It’s a minimally invasive option that can help reduce inflammation, enhance recovery, and improve overall function without the need for surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
How it works ?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) treatments work by harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities. First, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, then it’s processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors. These concentrated components are then re-injected into the treatment area, whether it’s an injured joint, tendon, or the scalp for hair restoration. The growth factors in the concentrate stimulate the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote the body’s natural healing process. This minimally invasive procedure helps accelerate recovery, improve tissue function, and restore healthier tissue growth without the need for surgery.
What is the difference between PRP and GFC?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) both use the patient's own blood to promote healing, but they differ in their preparation. PRP involves concentrating the platelets, while GFC involves isolating not just platelets but also a broader range of growth factors from the blood. GFC typically contains a higher concentration of these healing elements, making it a more advanced form of regenerative therapy. Both are used for similar purposes, including joint, tendon, and hair treatments, but GFC is considered to have a higher potency.
Is PRP and GFC treatment painful?
PRP and GFC treatments are minimally invasive and typically involve only mild discomfort. The procedure involves drawing blood, which may cause slight pain, followed by a local injection of the concentrated platelets or growth factors. Most patients report a dull ache or minor soreness at the injection site, but the discomfort is generally short-lived and well-tolerated. Topical numbing agents can be used to minimize any pain during the injection process.
How long does it take to see results from PRP and GFC treatment?
Results from PRP and GFC treatments vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual's healing response. Generally, patients begin to notice improvements within 3 to 4 weeks after the procedure, with more noticeable results appearing between 3 to 6 months. Healing and regeneration continue to progress over time, and multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, particularly for chronic conditions.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with PRP and GFC treatments?
Since PRP and GFC treatments use the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is minimal. However, like any injection, there may be mild side effects such as temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, infection or nerve injury could occur, but these risks are extremely low. It's important to follow aftercare instructions to minimize potential complications and ensure proper healing.
