PRP and GFC hair therapy in Vijayawada

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and GFC (growth factor concentrate) therapy use a concentrate prepared from your own blood, injected into the scalp to support thinning hair. At GIA Clinics in Vijayawada it is planned by Dr Sai Santosh, a maxillofacial surgeon with MCHT hair transplant training, after a scalp microscope assessment. It is available at both our Gunadala and Gurunanak Colony clinics.

Is it right for you

Who it suits.

Your first visit answers this properly, with an examination and, where needed, a scan, before you commit to anything.

Usually suits you if

  • Early to moderate thinning in men or women
  • Hair fall where the follicles are still active
  • People who want a non-surgical option, or to support a hair transplant
  • Those willing to commit to a course of sessions

Tell us first if

  • You have a blood disorder, low platelets or take blood thinners
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have a scalp infection or an active skin condition
  • Your hair loss is sudden or patchy, which needs the cause checked first
What happens, step by step

From first visit to aftercare.

  1. Scalp assessment

    Dr Sai Santosh checks your scalp with a microscope and asks about hair fall, diet and health.

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

What is the difference between PRP and GFC?

Both are made from your own blood. PRP uses the platelet-rich part of the plasma, while GFC is processed further to concentrate the growth factors.

How soon will I see results?

Many people notice less hair fall after a few sessions, and changes in thickness usually take three to six months. Results vary from person to person.

Can PRP regrow hair on bald areas?

PRP is most useful where follicles are still active. Fully bald areas usually need a hair transplant instead.

Is there downtime?

Most people return to normal activities the same day. The scalp may feel tender for a day or two, and you are usually asked not to wash your hair for a few hours.
