What Is QR678?
QR678 is a patented, clinically validated growth factor cocktail developed specifically for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss). It was developed by Dr. Debraj Shome and Dr. Rinky Kapoor and has been the subject of several peer-reviewed clinical trials published in international dermatology journals.
Unlike GFC — which use growth factors derived from your own blood — QR678 is a synthetic, laboratory-manufactured growth factor preparation. It contains a proprietary blend of:
- VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) — improves blood supply to follicles
- bFGF (Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor) — stimulates follicular proliferation
- PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) — promotes follicle survival
- EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) — supports scalp tissue repair
This formulation targets androgenetic alopecia at its root cause: miniaturisation of hair follicles due to DHT sensitivity.
Who Is QR678 For?
QR678 is indicated for:
- Male pattern baldness (Norwood Grade 1–5)
- Female pattern hair loss (Ludwig Grade 1–3)
- Diffuse hair thinning
- Post-partum hair loss
- Alopecia areata (selected cases)
- Hair loss resistant to minoxidil or finasteride alone
QR678 is not appropriate for Norwood Grade 6–7 (advanced baldness with no remaining follicles), scarring alopecias, or active scalp infections. Our dermatologists determine your suitability during your consultation and trichoscopy at Ora Skin Clinics, Kondapur.
How Does QR678 Work?
QR678 is injected into the scalp at the level of the hair follicle using fine needles, in a technique similar to mesotherapy. The growth factors interact with follicular stem cells and dermal papilla cells, signalling them to:
- Exit the telogen (resting) phase and re-enter anagen (growth)
- Thicken miniaturised hair shafts
- Prolong the anagen phase duration
- Improve scalp vascularity and nutrient delivery to the follicle
The result is progressive thickening of existing hair, reduced hair fall, and the appearance of new hair in thinning areas.
QR678 Protocol: Sessions and Timeline
A standard QR678 course consists of:
- Loading phase: 8–10 sessions, once every 2–3 weeks
- Maintenance phase: 1 session every 3–6 months
Results timeline:
- Sessions 1–2: Reduced active hair fall
- Sessions 3–5: Visible thickening of existing hair
- Sessions 6–8: New growth in previously thinning areas
- Sessions 9–10: Optimal density improvement
QR678 vs GFC vs older therapies: How Do They Compare?
| QR678 | GFC | GFC | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Synthetic (lab) | Your blood | Your blood |
| Blood draw needed | No | Yes | Yes |
| Consistency per session | High — fixed dose | Moderate | Variable |
| Best suited for | Androgenetic alopecia | Moderate–severe loss | Mild–moderate loss |
| Sessions | 8–10 | 6–8 | 6–8 |
Key advantage of QR678: Because it is synthetic, every dose is identical. With GFC, growth factor concentration varies based on your individual platelet count. QR678 delivers a precise, consistent therapeutic dose every session.
