PRP (PLATELET – RICH PLASMA)
PRP is a concentrate of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood. It contains growth factors that stimulate healing, tissue regeneration, hair regrowth and collagen production.
GFC (GROWTH FACTOR CONCENTRATE):
GFC is derived from PRP but further processed to isolate and concentrate the growth factors (like PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β), potentially leading to faster and more noticeable results. It has reduced immunogenicity and no cells, making it more refined.
SCP (SUPER CONCENTRATED PLASMA)
SCP typically refers to a plasma or serum enriched with exosomes or extracellular vesicles, cytokines, and sometimes stem-like cells derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, or blood. It takes it a further, achieving even higher platelet concentrations, making it more potent option for hair regrowth, tissue repair and regeneration.
Laboratory Contribution
The clinical laboratory plays a pivotal role in modern healthcare by providing accurate, timely, and essential diagnostic information that supports effective medical decision-making. From routine blood tests to advanced pathology, laboratories help detect diseases early, monitor test procedure, and ensure patient safety.
In procedures like PRP, GFC, and SCP, the laboratory ensures:
- Sterile processing and sample integrity
- Precise centrifugation and preparation of bio-products
- Strict quality control and safety compliance
