PRP and GFC are best known as hair loss treatments, but the same platelet-rich technology is also used for skin rejuvenation — here's how the two applications compare.
The Shared Technology Behind Both Uses
Both treatments use a small blood draw, processed to concentrate growth factors (PRP) or growth factor concentrate (GFC), which is then reintroduced into the treatment area to stimulate the body's own repair and renewal processes.
How PRP Works for Skin Rejuvenation
When used on the face, PRP is micro-injected or applied following microneedling to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and add a subtle, gradual glow — often called a 'vampire facial' in popular media.
How PRP/GFC Works for Hair Loss
For hair loss, PRP or GFC is injected directly into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, improve blood supply to the area and support thicker, healthier regrowth over a course of sessions.
Which One Might You Need
- Facial PRP: dull skin, fine lines, uneven texture
- Scalp PRP/GFC: thinning hair, early hair loss, post-shedding recovery
- Both require a course of sessions rather than a single visit
- A consultation determines the right frequency for your specific goal
