PRP Hair Restorations

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment designed to promote hair growth and improve scalp health using the patient’s own blood-derived plasma. This regenerative procedure has gained popularity among individuals experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss. Aesthetic Clinic London offers PRP therapy as part of a tailored approach to hair restoration, combining advanced medical expertise with the latest innovations in regenerative medicine.

PRP Hair Restoration: Pricing Overview in London

The cost of PRP restoration in London varies based on several factors, including the clinic’s reputation, practitioner expertise, and the number of sessions required. Prices typically range between £250 and £500 per session, with most patients requiring an initial course of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.

General pricing structure:

Single PRP session: £250–£500
Package of three sessions: £700–£1,400
Comprehensive treatment course (six sessions): £1,300–£2,500

Additional costs may arise if complementary treatments such as microneedling or mesotherapy are included to enhance PRP efficacy. Some clinics also offer combination therapies with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or topical growth factor serums for optimised results.

Before and After PRP Hair Restoration

PRP restoration is not an instant solution, but rather a gradual process that enhances hair follicle function over time. Patients can expect to see initial improvements in texture, reduced shedding, and increased scalp coverage within the first few months.

Typical timeline of results:

First month: Minimal visible changes; some patients report reduced shedding.
Three months: Noticeable improvement in texture and early signs of regrowth, particularly in areas of mild thinning.
Six months: Increased density, better scalp coverage, and a healthier hairline.
Twelve months: Maximum benefits, with thicker, stronger hair and a significant loss reduction.

Before and after observations:

Patients with androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) often experience thicker, stronger regrowth after a series of treatments.
Those with diffuse hair thinning see improved density and reduced scalp visibility.
Individuals recovering from hair transplant surgery use PRP to accelerate healing and improve graft survival rates.

What is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP restoration is a regenerative medical treatment that utilises the healing properties of platelet-rich plasma extracted from a patient’s own blood. The procedure involves drawing a small sample of blood, processing it in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, and injecting the resulting growth factor-rich plasma into targeted areas of the scalp.

How PRP supports hair regrowth:

Stimulates dormant follicles by increasing blood supply and oxygenation.
Prolongs the growth phase (anagen phase), reducing premature shedding.
Strengthens shafts and improves overall hair quality.
Enhances collagen production in the scalp, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.

PRP Hair Restoration Process: Step by Step

PRP hair restoration is a minimally invasive procedure that harnesses the regenerative properties of a patient’s own blood plasma to stimulate growth. The treatment is performed in a clinical setting and typically takes 45–60 minutes per session.

Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation
A specialist assesses the patient’s hair loss pattern, scalp health, and medical history to determine if PRP therapy is an appropriate treatment. In some cases, trichoscopic analysis is performed to evaluate follicle density and miniaturisation.

Step 2: Blood Collection
A small blood sample (usually 10–20 mL) is drawn from the patient’s arm, similar to a routine blood test.

Step 3: Plasma Separation
The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, a medical device that spins at high speeds to separate the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells and other components. This process concentrates growth factors, cytokines, and bioactive proteins essential for tissue regeneration.

Step 4: PRP Activation (If Required)
In some cases, calcium chloride or thrombin may be added to activate platelets and enhance their regenerative potential before injection.

Step 5: PRP Injection into the Scalp
The prepared PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using fine-gauge needles. The injections are strategically placed in regions with thinning hair to stimulate follicles and improve blood circulation.

Step 6: Post-Treatment Care
Patients are advised to avoid harsh scalp treatments, excessive sun exposure, and intense exercise for 24–48 hours. Mild redness and swelling are common but usually subside within a day.

Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration

PRP therapy is widely recognised for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an effective treatment for hair thinning and early-stage hair loss. Unlike some pharmaceutical treatments, PRP does not involve synthetic drugs or long-term medication use.

Key advantages:

Enhances follicle function by increasing vascular supply and nutrient availability.
Reduces shedding by prolonging the anagen (growth) phase.
Strengthens shafts, improving hair thickness and texture.
Minimises miniaturisation in androgenetic alopecia by stimulating dormant follicles.
Natural and biocompatible, as the treatment utilises the patient’s own plasma, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
No significant downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Our PRP Hair Restoration Treatment

Aesthetic Clinic London offers a range of customised PRP protocols designed to enhance hair regrowth and scalp health. Treatment plans are tailored based on hair loss severity, scalp condition, and individual response to therapy.

Standard PRP Treatment
A single session or package of three to six treatments performed at four to six-week intervals, ideal for early-stage thinning.
PRP with Microneedling
Combining PRP with microneedling enhances the penetration of growth factors, stimulating collagen production and improving overall scalp circulation.
PRP with Stem Cell Therapy
For patients with more advanced hair loss, PRP can be combined with exosomes or mesenchymal stem cell-derived growth factors, maximising follicular regeneration.
PRP for Post-Transplant Healing
Patients undergoing FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) benefit from PRP injections to accelerate healing, reduce post-operative shedding, and improve graft survival rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PRP work for hair loss in the UK?

Yes, PRP therapy is an established treatment for androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, and post-operative hair restoration. It is commonly used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine across the UK, with clinical studies supporting its efficacy in promoting hair regrowth and reducing shedding. However, results vary based on loss severity, genetic factors, and adherence to treatment protocols.

How much does PRP hair restoration cost?

The cost of PRP therapy in the UK depends on clinic reputation, practitioner expertise, and the number of sessions required. Prices generally range from £250 to £500 per session, with package options offering better value. Some clinics combine PRP with additional therapies, which may influence pricing.

Is PRP worth the money?

PRP is particularly beneficial for individuals in the early to moderate stages of hair thinning. Compared to pharmaceutical treatments like finasteride or minoxidil, PRP offers a drug-free alternative with a lower risk of systemic side effects. While it may not replace surgical hair restoration for advanced baldness, it can significantly improve density and quality when used as part of a comprehensive hair restoration plan.

Does PRP work if you are bald?

PRP therapy is most effective in individuals with active hair follicles. If hair loss has progressed to the point where follicles are no longer viable, PRP alone is unlikely to restore significant hair growth. However, it can still be beneficial as a supplementary treatment to maintain existing hair and improve scalp health. For individuals with extensive baldness, hair transplant surgery may be a more appropriate solution, with PRP used to enhance post-operative recovery.
