PRP Hair Restoration
Platelet-rich plasma therapy for your scalp. Combat hair loss, reduce shedding, and stimulate natural regrowth using your body's own healing factors. A proven, natural approach to male pattern baldness and thinning hair.
Pricing & Treatment Courses
PRP hair restoration works best as a course of treatments for cumulative, long-lasting results.
| Course | What's Included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single Session | Consultation + 1 PRP scalp session | from £249 |
| Course of 3 | 3 sessions over 8-12 weeks + progress review | Contact for pricing |
| Course of 6 | 6 sessions over 4-6 months + comprehensive review | Contact for pricing |
💡 Recommended approach: Most men see best results with an initial course of 3 sessions (monthly), followed by maintenance sessions every 3-6 months. Single sessions can be effective but courses provide cumulative improvement.
What is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration uses your own blood's healing properties to stimulate hair follicles, reduce shedding, and promote regrowth. Here's how it works:
- Blood draw: A small amount of blood is taken (similar to a routine blood test)
- Centrifugation: Your blood is spun to separate and concentrate the platelets
- Injection: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is injected into your scalp at precise depths
- Growth factors: Platelets release growth factors that stimulate follicles, improve circulation, and promote healing
The entire process takes 45-60 minutes per session. Most men report minimal discomfort—we use ultra-fine needles and can apply numbing cream if needed.
Key Benefits
✓ Reduced Hair Shedding
Many men notice significantly reduced hair fall within 4-8 weeks after starting treatment. Shower drains and pillows collect less hair.
✓ Improved Hair Density
Existing hair becomes thicker and healthier. Miniaturized (thin, wispy) hairs can thicken and strengthen over time.
✓ Stimulated Regrowth
Dormant follicles may reactivate, producing new hair growth in thinning areas. Results vary but many men see noticeable improvement in coverage.
✓ Natural & Safe
Uses your own blood—no foreign substances, no synthetic medications. Extremely low risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
✓ Minimal Downtime
Return to normal activities immediately. Mild scalp tenderness for 24-48 hours is common but manageable.
✓ Long-Lasting Results
With proper maintenance (sessions every 3-6 months), many men maintain improvements for years.
Who is PRP Hair Restoration For?
PRP is ideal for men with:
- Early to moderate hair loss: Best results when some follicles remain active
- Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia)
- Thinning crown or receding hairline
- Diffuse thinning across the scalp
- Post-transplant support: PRP can improve transplant results and overall density
💭 Best candidates: Men with active follicles who are experiencing thinning or early loss. PRP cannot regrow hair in completely bald areas where follicles have died, but it can strengthen existing hair and slow progression.
⚠️ Limited effectiveness for:
- Completely bald areas with no follicles remaining
- Very advanced, long-standing hair loss
- Non-androgenetic alopecia (autoimmune, scarring types)
Your practitioner will assess your suitability during consultation.
What to Expect: Timeline & Results
During Treatment Course (Months 1-6)
- Week 1-2: Mild scalp tenderness, no visible change yet
- Week 4-8: Reduced shedding—noticeable decrease in hair fall
- Month 3-4: Existing hair becomes thicker, stronger, healthier
- Month 4-6: New growth may begin appearing in thinning areas
After Completing Initial Course (6-12 Months)
- Peak results: Maximum density and thickness typically visible at 6-9 months
- Maintenance phase: Schedule sessions every 3-6 months to preserve results
⏰ Patience required: Hair growth is slow. You're working with natural biological cycles (anagen, telogen phases). Most men see noticeable improvement by 3-6 months, with best results at 9-12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does PRP hair restoration actually work?
Yes, for the right candidates. Clinical studies show PRP can reduce shedding, improve density, and stimulate regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia. Results vary—some men see dramatic improvement, others see modest gains. Best results occur when some follicles are still active.
Does it hurt?
Minimal discomfort. The blood draw is like any routine blood test. Scalp injections use ultra-fine needles and we can apply numbing cream. Most men rate discomfort as 2-4 out of 10—very tolerable.
How many treatments do I need?
Most men start with 3 sessions (monthly) for an initial loading phase, then maintenance sessions every 3-6 months. Some protocols use 6 initial sessions. Your practitioner will recommend based on your hair loss severity.
When will I see results?
Reduced shedding: 4-8 weeks. Thicker existing hair: 3-4 months. New growth: 4-6 months. Best overall results: 9-12 months. Hair growth is slow—patience is essential.
Can I combine PRP with other hair loss treatments?
Yes! PRP works well alongside finasteride, minoxidil, hair transplants, or other treatments. Many men use PRP to enhance transplant results or boost medication effectiveness.
Is it better than finasteride or minoxidil?
Different approach. Finasteride blocks DHT (hormonal cause), minoxidil stimulates follicles topically, and PRP uses growth factors to heal and regenerate. Many men use all three together for maximum results. PRP doesn't have the side effects of finasteride.
How long do results last?
Variable. Initial improvements can last 1-2 years, but hair loss is progressive. Most men need maintenance sessions every 3-6 months to preserve gains and continue combating miniaturization.
Is it safe?
Very safe. Uses your own blood so virtually no risk of allergic reaction. Minor side effects like temporary scalp tenderness or mild bruising may occur but resolve quickly.
How much does it cost?
Single session from £249. Courses of 3 or 6 sessions available at discounted rates—discuss pricing during your free consultation.
