Revive weak follicles with your body's own growth factors.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) therapies use elements from your own blood to awaken dormant follicles, reduce shedding and thicken hair — with zero chemicals and minimal downtime.
Your biology, concentrated & delivered.
PRP uses centrifuged plasma from your own blood — rich in platelets and growth signals. GFC is the next-generation evolution — purified, concentrated growth factors with higher potency and consistency.
A small blood sample is drawn, spun in a specialised centrifuge to separate platelets/growth factors, and then micro-injected into the scalp at the level of the follicle.
These growth factors wake up miniaturised (thinning) hair follicles, increase blood supply, lengthen the active growth phase and reduce shedding — all without drugs, and with zero risk of allergic reaction since the product comes from your own body.
At Skin Shine, PRP/GFC is prescribed as a standalone therapy for early hair loss, or as a post-transplant booster to ensure optimal graft survival and density.

A 45-minute session, from blood draw to home.
Consultation & Scalp Mapping
Trichoscopy to grade miniaturisation, baseline photographs, and a tailored session plan (typically 4–6 monthly treatments + maintenance).
Blood Draw
A small 10–20ml blood sample is drawn — similar to a routine blood test. No fasting required.
Centrifugation & Activation
Your sample spins in a closed-system centrifuge to isolate platelets / concentrate growth factors. The product is prepared in sterile conditions, right in front of you.
Scalp Anaesthesia
A nerve block / topical cream ensures the micro-injections are virtually painless.
Micro-Injections
The growth-factor serum is injected into the scalp at the level of the follicles, across all affected zones — takes 15–20 minutes.
Immediate Home Return
No downtime. Normal shampooing resumes after 24 hours. Mild pinkness settles within hours.
Evidence-based protocols, visible results.
Closed-System Kits
Sterile, single-use centrifuge kits from certified partners — never open-tube preparations.
GFC Upgrade Available
Optional GFC upgrade for higher growth-factor concentration and more dramatic results.
Zero Downtime
Walk in, walk out. Return to work, gym or travel the same day.
Drug-Free, Your Own Biology
No chemicals, no finasteride, no allergic-reaction risk — 100% autologous.
Paired with Homecare
Every session includes scalp serums, supplements and nutrition guidance for maximum impact.
Package Pricing
Single sessions or bundled 4/6-session packages at significant savings.
PRP & GFC, demystified.
Is PRP painful?
Minimal discomfort. We use a combination of topical anaesthetic cream and optional nerve blocks — most patients describe it as "small pricks" rather than pain.
How soon will I see results?
Reduced shedding is often noticed within 3–4 weeks. Visible thickening begins around week 8–10. Best results are evaluated after 4–6 sessions at monthly intervals.
How is GFC different from PRP?
GFC is a newer technology that isolates pure growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, EGF, IGF) in higher concentration. It's more consistent batch-to-batch and often delivers faster, more predictable results.
Do I need to continue sessions forever?
Initial protocol is 4–6 sessions one month apart. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 3–6 months to preserve results, similar to any hair-loss therapy.
Are there any side effects?
Because it's your own blood, serious side effects are extremely rare. Temporary scalp pinkness, mild tenderness or a small bruise at the injection site may occur — all resolve within 24–48 hours.
