People who are losing their hair or are in the early stages of baldness can now choose from more than just surgical transplants. With the rise of regenerative medicine, new, non-surgical treatments have been developed that use the body's own healing processes to wake up dormant follicles and encourage growth. In 2025, PRP, GFC, and QR678 have become the most talked-about treatments.
But how do you know which one really works for you when all three say they are the "best hair loss treatment"?
We don't just do hair transplants at QHT Clinic; we also specialise in non-surgical hair restoration. Our experts have treated hundreds of patients who got amazing results with these treatments, either on their own or with hair transplants.
We'll compare the science, benefits, and results of QR678, GFC, and PRP in this guide. We'll also help you choose the best treatment for your specific level of hair loss.
Understanding the Science Behind Regenerative Hair Therapies
Before comparing different treatments, it's important to know what makes these therapies so groundbreaking.
Minoxidil and Finasteride are two common medications that work chemically to slow down hair loss or stimulate hair follicles. Regenerative treatments like PRP, GFC, and QR678, on the other hand, work biologically. They start the body's natural healing process and promote new hair growth at the cellular level.
All three have the same goal:
-
Get hair follicles that are sleeping to work again
-
Improve scalp microcirculation
-
Make the follicles thicker and denser.
-
Lower inflammation and damage to hormones
The difference is in how each therapy gets these effects, either through platelets, growth factors, or bioengineered peptides.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is the first treatment for hair loss that helps hair grow back.
PRP was one of the first biologically driven hair loss treatments to become popular globally, and it still remains widely used due to its proven safety and effectiveness.
What Is PRP?
Your own blood is used to make PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma. It involves taking a small sample, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then putting this plasma directly into your scalp.
Platelets have a lot of growth factors, such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), and TGF-β (transforming growth factor beta), which help hair follicles heal and grow back.
How PRP Works
-
The patient has blood drawn.
-
The sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate the layer with a lot of platelets.
-
People inject the PRP into places where hair is thinning.
-
Over the course of several sessions, growth factors help cells heal and new hair grow.
Benefits of PRP
-
100% your own blood, so there's no risk of an allergic reaction.
-
Makes hair thicker and stops it from falling out.
-
Increases blood flow to the head.
-
It can be used with other treatments, such as Minoxidil or transplants.
Limitations of PRP
-
How well it works depends on how many platelets are in the injection and how it is done.
-
Needs more than one session, usually three to six.
-
Some patients feel a little pain during injections.
At QHT Clinic, PRP therapy is done with cutting-edge centrifugation systems that make high-concentration plasma and map the scalp very carefully to make sure that growth factors are spread out evenly.
GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) – The Refined Upgrade
PRP laid the groundwork, but GFC treatment for hair loss improved it by using a more advanced, consistent, and powerful method.
What is GFC?
GFC means Growth Factor Concentrate. It comes from your own blood, just like PRP, but the important difference is that only the purified growth factors are taken out, not the platelets or plasma.
This means that GFC has a lot of pure regenerative molecules in it, like PDGF, VEGF, IGF (insulin-like growth factor), and EGF (epidermal growth factor). These molecules are what make hair grow.
How GFC works
-
The patient gives blood.
-
It is processed with a patented kit that separates growth factors from platelets.
-
These growth factors are injected into the scalp using microinjections.
Unlike PRP, GFC ensures standardised concentration and zero variability, as it eliminates unwanted components like red or white blood cells that could cause inflammation.
Benefits of GFC Treatment
-
The GFC treatment has more pure growth factors than PRP.
-
Less pain and a quicker recovery.
-
No inflammation or clotting because the platelets are filtered out.
-
More consistency between sessions.
-
Hair quality and density will improve for a long time.
Limitations of GFC
-
Costs a little more than PRP.
-
Only certified clinics like QHT can get it.
-
Needs professional help to work well.
Because it works so well and is so precise, GFC has become one of our most popular non-surgical hair restoration treatments at QHT Clinic. Within two to three months, many patients notice that their hair is getting thicker and falling out less.
QR678: The Most Advanced Scientific Breakthrough
The newest and most advanced therapy in this lineup, QR678, represents the next generation of hair regeneration technology. Unlike PRP or GFC, it doesn’t rely on drawing blood at all.
What is QR678?
QR678 is a patented, bioengineered mix of growth factors and peptides that mimics the body's natural signalling molecules. It was created by Indian dermatologists and approved by regulatory bodies.
These ingredients are made in a lab under controlled conditions, which ensures that the concentration, purity, and strength are always the same.
How QR678 Works
-
The QR678 solution is injected directly into the scalp and contains certain growth factors, such as VEGF, IGF, FGF, and KGF.
-
These things wake up dormant follicles, protect them from damage caused by DHT, and make microcirculation better.
-
Results usually show up faster because the formula is already optimised for regrowing human hair.
Benefits of QR678
-
No need to draw blood or spin it; it's ready to use.
-
Results that have been clinically proven for both men and women.
-
Encourages hair regrowth, even in cases of androgenetic alopecia.
-
Every session has the same level of strength.
-
Minimal discomfort and zero downtime.
Limitations of QR678
-
Because of the proprietary formulation, it costs more than PRP or GFC.
-
Needs to be done in several sessions (usually 6 to 8).
-
Only certified professionals should give it.
QR678 is one of the high-end non-surgical hair restoration programmes we offer at QHT Clinic. It's especially helpful for patients who want a quick, medical solution without having to deal with blood or plasma.

It's not about which treatment is "best" for everyone; it's about which one is best for your hair loss, stage, and goals.
Picking the Best Treatment for You

After a thorough scalp analysis and trichoscopy, the QHT Clinic staff decides whether to use QR678, GFC, or PRP. This is a simple guide to how we do it:
-
PRP or GFC may be best for early hair thinning (Stage I–II) because the follicles are still responsive.
-
For moderate hair loss (Stage III–IV), GFC or QR678 works faster and shows better results.
-
People often choose QR678 for severe hair loss or maintenance after a transplant because it can help transplanted areas grow back and heal.
People who get QHT hair transplants often combine these treatments to help the grafts live longer and grow naturally.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
For the best results, all three treatments usually need more than one session:
-
PRP: 4 to 6 sessions, each one 3 to 4 weeks apart.
-
GFC: 3 to 4 sessions, each one month apart.
-
QR678: 6 to 8 sessions, each 2 to 3 weeks apart.
Improvements that can be seen usually start within 2 to 3 months and continue to get thicker and stronger over 6 to 9 months.
At QHT Clinic, your schedule is personalised based on your scalp’s responsiveness and the underlying cause of hair loss.
Combining surgical and non-surgical restoration
We often use regenerative therapies before or after surgery for patients who are getting QHT hair transplants.
-
Before the transplant, GFC or QR678 makes existing follicles stronger and makes the scalp healthier, which helps the graft accept better.
-
After the transplant, PRP or QR678 helps the grafts heal faster, reduces swelling, and speeds up regrowth.
This mix gives you the most density, the least shedding, and the fastest recovery, which is good for both the short and long term.
What Patients Actually Go Through
Most patients say that shedding is noticeably less in the first month. By the third month, hair looks thicker, shinier, and fuller. Most people see a noticeable difference in the coverage and volume of their hairline after six months.
We've seen amazing changes in all three treatments at QHT Clinic:
-
PRP is the best way to make your scalp healthier and stop it from thinning too
-
GFC: Great for making hair thicker and stopping hair from falling out all the time.
-
QR678: Outstanding results for diffuse alopecia and post-transplant enhancement.
What is the common factor? All treatments work best when they are part of a personalised plan and are supervised by an expert.
The cost of hair restoration without surgery in India
Prices can vary from city to city and clinic to clinic, but here's a general idea of what you can expect to pay at reputable clinics:
-
PRP: Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 10,000 for each session
-
GFC: Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000 for each session
