QR678 Therapy for Hair Loss: Can Growth Factors Help Restore Thinning Hair?
Hair loss affects millions of men and women, yet many patients wait until significant baldness develops before seeking treatment.
By then, many hair follicles may have already undergone irreversible miniaturization.
The good news is that not every patient with hair loss requires a hair transplant.
If treatment begins early, weakened follicles can often be supported with advanced regenerative therapies designed to preserve and strengthen existing hair.
One such option is QR678 Therapy, a growth factor-based injectable treatment increasingly used in dermatology as part of a comprehensive hair restoration program.
At The Éterne Clinic, Powai, QR678 is offered alongside medical therapies, regenerative medicine, and advanced hair transplant procedures to provide individualized care based on each patient's stage of hair loss.
What Is QR678 Therapy?
QR678 is a proprietary growth factor-based injectable treatment developed to support hair follicle health.
It contains a carefully selected combination of bioactive peptides and growth factors that are injected directly into the scalp.
Unlike oral medications that work throughout the body, QR678 is administered locally into the scalp, allowing the treatment to target hair follicles directly.
The aim is to improve the scalp environment and encourage healthier hair growth in suitable candidates.
How Does QR678 Work?
Hair follicles constantly cycle through three stages:
- Growth (Anagen)
- Transition (Catagen)
- Resting (Telogen)
In androgenetic alopecia and several other hair disorders, this cycle becomes disrupted.
Hair follicles gradually become smaller, producing thinner and shorter hairs.
QR678 delivers growth factors directly into the scalp, where they are intended to support follicular activity and improve the biological environment surrounding weakened follicles.
While individual responses vary, the treatment is designed to:
- Reduce excessive hair shedding
- Support healthier follicle function
- Improve hair shaft thickness
- Increase hair density
- Enhance overall scalp health
Who Can Benefit from QR678 Therapy?
QR678 may be recommended for:
Male Pattern Hair Loss
Early to moderate androgenetic alopecia.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
Diffuse thinning and reduced hair density.
Chronic Hair Shedding
Persistent hair fall after evaluation by a dermatologist.
Hair Thinning Following Stress or Illness
Selected patients with prolonged telogen effluvium.
Hair Transplant Patients
QR678 may also be incorporated into post-transplant protocols to support surrounding native hair and improve scalp health.
Why Early Treatment Makes a Difference
One of the biggest misconceptions is that hair loss treatment should begin only after baldness becomes obvious.
In reality, hair follicles undergo progressive miniaturization over several years.
Early treatment may help preserve follicles before permanent loss occurs.
QR678 is generally most effective when viable follicles are still present.
QR678 vs PRP: What's the Difference?
Patients often ask whether QR678 is better than Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).
The two treatments work differently.
PRP
PRP uses growth factors obtained from the patient's own blood.
Treatment involves:
- Blood collection
- Centrifugation
- Platelet concentration
- Scalp injections
The quality of PRP may vary depending on:
- Age
- Platelet count
- General health
- Processing technique
QR678
QR678 uses a standardized formulation of growth factors and peptides.
Advantages include:
- No blood collection
- Standardized composition
- Consistent treatment preparation
- Ready-to-use injectable solution
Both therapies have a role in hair restoration, and the most appropriate option depends on the individual's diagnosis and treatment goals.
QR678 vs Exosome Therapy
Both QR678 and exosome therapy belong to the field of regenerative hair medicine, but they are different.
QR678
Provides selected growth factors and peptides to support follicular activity.
Exosome Therapy
Uses extracellular vesicles containing multiple biological signaling molecules involved in cellular communication and tissue regeneration.
The choice between these treatments depends on several factors, including the underlying hair disorder, stage of hair loss, and overall treatment plan.
What Happens During a QR678 Session?
Treatment is performed in the clinic.
The procedure generally involves:
- Scalp cleansing
- Application of topical anaesthetic cream, if required
- Multiple small injections into affected areas
- Post-treatment instructions
Most patients return to normal daily activities soon after treatment.
Is QR678 Painful?
The injections are performed using fine needles.
Many patients describe only mild discomfort.
Topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to improve comfort.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions varies depending on:
- Severity of hair loss
- Type of hair disorder
- Individual response
- Overall treatment plan
Your dermatologist will recommend a personalized schedule following clinical evaluation.
Can QR678 Be Combined with Other Hair Treatments?
Absolutely.
Hair restoration often works best through a combination approach.
Depending on your condition, QR678 may be combined with:
- Minoxidil
- Combat 98™ scalp mesotherapy
- PRP
- Exosome therapy
- Low-level laser therapy
- Nutritional supplementation
- FAAST Long Hair FUE Hair Transplant
Combination therapy addresses multiple aspects of hair loss and may improve long-term outcomes.
Why Accurate Diagnosis Comes First
Not all hair loss is androgenetic alopecia.
Hair shedding may also result from:
- Iron deficiency
- Thyroid disorders
- Autoimmune diseases
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Hormonal imbalance
- Scalp inflammation
Treating the underlying cause is essential before starting regenerative therapy.
At The Éterne Clinic, every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, including digital trichoscopy and, when indicated, laboratory investigations.

Final Thoughts
QR678 therapy represents an important addition to modern regenerative hair medicine.
By delivering growth factors directly to the scalp, it aims to support weakened follicles, reduce ongoing hair loss, and improve hair density in carefully selected patients.
Although it is not a replacement for hair transplantation in advanced baldness, QR678 may play a valuable role in preserving existing hair and delaying disease progression when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
The earlier hair loss is addressed, the greater the opportunity to protect the follicles that remain.
