What is QR678 treatment?
QR678 is a plant-derived growth factor formulation injected into the scalp for hair loss. The practical difference from PRP or GFC is that those are prepared from a sample of your own blood at every session, whereas QR678 is a ready-made formulation — so there is no blood draw and sessions are shorter. It acts on follicles that are still present and active.
What it is
A plant-derived growth factor formulation, injected into the scalp to support hair follicles that are still present and active.
How it differs from PRP and GFC
This is the comparison most people are actually making, and the difference is concrete rather than marketing:
- PRP and GFC are prepared from a sample of your own blood at every session. Blood is drawn, processed in the clinic, and returned to your scalp.
- QR678 is a ready-made formulation. No blood draw, and sessions are shorter as a result.
Which one suits you depends on your scalp and is decided at consultation rather than in advance. Neither is automatically better.
What the appointment is like
The injections are superficial and given with very fine needles, and most patients tolerate them without anaesthesia. Slight soreness afterwards usually settles within a few hours.
The absence of a blood draw and processing step is the main reason a session is quicker than PRP or GFC.
What it can and cannot act on
QR678 works on follicles that are still there. Its effect is limited on a scalp that is completely bald, because there is not enough active follicle to respond — and your doctor should tell you honestly at consultation whether there is enough to work with.
It is not an alternative to a hair transplant, and it does not relocate hair. The Aesthetic Edge does not offer hair transplant; if your case is beyond what non-surgical treatment can achieve, you should be told so.
Timeline
Reduced shedding tends to come first. Density changes take months, because hair grows slowly. Results vary between patients and cannot be guaranteed, and comparison photographs at three months are how it is judged.
Who it is not for
It is not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and is generally not started for hair loss of less than six months' duration. Disclose your full medical history and medication at consultation.
