PRP & GFC Hair Treatment in Kottayam
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are evidence-backed non-surgical treatments that use your own blood's growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles. At DermaVue Kottayam, trichologist-supervised GFC and PRP protocols achieve 70–80% improvement in hair density in good responders — without surgery, without downtime.
Two Technologies, One Goal: Hair Restoration in Kottayam
Both treatments use your blood's growth factors. GFC is the newer, more refined approach. DermaVue Kottayam's trichologist will recommend the right choice based on your hair loss type, severity, and budget.
PRP Hair Restoration — The Science Explained
Our trichologist explains how PRP stimulates dormant follicles, improves scalp vascularity, and slows androgenetic alopecia progression.
PRP Hair Restoration — DermaVue Trichologist Explains
What Happens During a GFC/PRP Session at DermaVue Kottayam
A complete session takes 60–90 minutes. There is no downtime — patients return to normal activities immediately afterward.
Topical Anaesthesia
EMLA cream applied to scalp 45 minutes before session. Minimises injection discomfort — most patients feel mild pressure, not pain.
Blood Draw
15–20ml blood drawn from your arm. Standard venepuncture — comparable to a routine blood test.
Centrifugation
Blood processed in an advanced centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets and growth factors. GFC uses an extra filtration step.
Scalp Microinjections
GFC/PRP injected across thinning areas in a 1cm grid pattern using fine-gauge needles. Full scalp session takes 20–30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
Scalp massage to disperse growth factors. No bandaging. Wash hair after 24 hours. Mild soreness resolves by day 2.

Frequently Asked — PRP GFC Hair Treatment Kottayam
PRP concentrates platelets 3–5× from your blood. GFC adds an extra extraction step to isolate specific growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, EGF, TGF-beta) while removing pro-inflammatory red blood cells. GFC = faster results, less discomfort, higher growth factor concentration.
4–6 monthly sessions initial course. Results visible from months 3–4. Quarterly maintenance sessions sustain results long-term. Best combined with finasteride or minoxidil.
Clinical evidence shows 70–80% improvement in hair density in good responders. Works on alive-but-dormant follicles — not on permanently miniaturised follicles.
Topical anaesthetic cream applied 45 minutes before. Most patients feel mild pressure, not pain. Post-procedure tenderness resolves in 24–48 hours.
Yes — pre-transplant to optimise scalp, post-transplant from month 2 to improve graft survival. Intraoperative PRP is part of DermaVue Kottayam's SMART FUE standard protocol.
Best for: androgenetic alopecia (Norwood I–IV male, Ludwig I–II female); telogen effluvium; mild–moderate alopecia areata; post-transplant maintenance. Less effective for advanced baldness with no surviving follicles.
60–90 minutes: topical anaesthetic → 15–20ml blood draw → centrifugation → scalp microinjections every 1cm → gentle massage. No bandaging. Hair washed after 24 hours.
GFC removes inflammatory RBC components, delivering a purer growth factor concentrate. Less redness and discomfort, higher hair-specific growth factor concentration, potentially faster visible results.
12–18 months after a full course before regression. Quarterly maintenance significantly extends results. Combined medical therapy provides the most durable outcome.
