What is PRP treatment for hair loss?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment for hair loss uses your body's own natural growth factors to revive thinning hair, strengthen follicles and boost new growth. The London PRP Clinic offers doctor-led PRP treatments for hair, scalp, and beard growth with proven results.

Does PRP work for beard growth?

Yes, PRP beard growth treatment is highly effective for filling patchy areas, enhancing beard density, and promoting thicker facial hair. Our doctor-led PRP beard treatment at £395 per session uses platelet-rich plasma to stimulate dormant hair follicles in the beard area.

How much does PRP treatment cost in London?

PRP treatment prices at The London PRP Clinic range from £395 for PRP Hair Signature or Beard PRP single sessions, to £545 for comprehensive treatments. We offer package discounts - for example, 3 PRP Hair sessions cost £1,085 (save £100).

What PRP services are available at The London PRP Clinic?

We offer PRP treatments for hair loss, beard growth, facial rejuvenation, under-eye treatment, knee joint pain, and scalp health. All treatments are doctor-led and evidence-based, delivered at our Marylebone, Canary Wharf, and Belgravia London locations.

How much does PRP cost for hair loss in London?

At The London PRP Clinic, PRP hair treatment costs £545 per session including Viviscal™ supplements and organic oils. Most patients need 3-4 initial sessions (package available at £1,500, saving £135). ExoRevive exosome treatment is £445 per session.

Does PRP really work for hair loss?

Yes, clinical studies show PRP is 70-90% effective for androgenetic alopecia. At our clinic, 87% of patients report significant improvement with an average 32% increase in hair density after 3-4 sessions. Results are best for Norwood stages 1-4.

What's better PRP or hair transplant?

PRP is ideal for early-stage hair loss (Norwood 1-4): non-surgical, no downtime, £545 per session. Hair transplants suit advanced loss (Norwood 5-7): permanent but surgical, 2-week recovery, £3,000-15,000. Many combine both for optimal results - PRP strengthens existing hair and enhances transplant survival.

How long do PRP results last?

PRP results typically last 12-18 months with proper maintenance. After initial 3-4 sessions, maintenance treatments every 6 months sustain results. Some patients using our combined protocol (PRP + supplements) report results lasting up to 2 years.

Is PRP painful for hair?

PRP involves minimal discomfort. We use topical numbing cream 30 minutes before treatment. Most patients rate pain as 2-3/10, describing it as 'mild pinching.' The entire procedure takes 60 minutes with no downtime - you can return to work immediately.

Can I wash my hair after PRP?

Wait 24 hours before washing your hair after PRP. Use lukewarm water and gentle shampoo for the first wash. Avoid swimming pools, saunas, and intense exercise for 48 hours. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and organic hair oil for optimal healing.

What are the newest hair loss treatments in 2025?

The newest effective hair loss treatments in 2025 include low-dose oral minoxidil (2.5-5mg daily), topical finasteride (0.25%), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and low-level laser therapy devices. Emerging treatments like JAK inhibitors and topical androgen receptor antagonists are showing promising results in clinical trials.

Does oral minoxidil work for hair loss?

Yes, low-dose oral minoxidil (2.5-5mg daily) has proven highly effective for both male and female pattern hair loss. Studies show it's particularly effective for overall thinning, with manageable side effects primarily limited to mild hypertrichosis (extra hair growth).

Is PRP effective for hair restoration?

Yes, PRP therapy has demonstrated significant improvement in hair count and thickness in clinical trials. Most patients see noticeable results after 3-4 sessions, using the body's own growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles.

Best PRP Clinic in London: How to Choose and Why Price Is Not What You Should Compare (2026)

28 Mar

Written By Omar Elalfy

How do you choose the best PRP clinic in London?

PRP treatment in London ranges from £150 to £850 per session. That range exists because not all PRP is the same. The equipment is different. The people performing it are different. What is included in the price is different. And the clinical outcomes are different. Choosing purely on price is the single most common mistake patients make, and it is the one most likely to cost you more money in the long run when cheap treatment fails and you end up paying again at a proper clinic.

This guide explains exactly what separates a high-quality PRP clinic from a low-cost one, names specific London clinics so you can compare directly, and gives you the five questions to ask before booking anywhere.

What you are actually paying for when you book PRP

PRP treatment involves a medical procedure: drawing blood, processing it in a centrifuge, and injecting concentrated growth factors into your scalp or face. The quality of every single step affects your results.

Who performs the treatment

This is one of the most important variable. A UK graduated, GMC-registered doctor can diagnose the underlying cause of your hair loss (not just inject blindly), identify whether blood work is needed (iron, thyroid, vitamin D deficiency), spot contraindications that make PRP inappropriate, adjust injection depth, spacing, and volume based on clinical assessment, and manage any adverse response immediately.

A beautician, aesthetic therapist, or nurse prescriber cannot diagnose medical conditions, cannot order or interpret blood work, and has no medical training in injection technique for regenerative therapies. They can administer PRP, but they cannot provide the clinical assessment that determines whether PRP is even the right treatment for you.

At clinics charging under £300 per session, treatments are almost always performed by non-doctors. The lower price reflects the lower cost of employing non-medical staff, not a generous discount on identical treatment.

PRP preparation quality

Not all centrifuges produce the same platelet concentration, and platelet concentration directly correlates with clinical outcomes. Research published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences found that optimal platelet concentration (approximately 1.5 million platelets per microlitre) significantly outperforms lower concentrations.

Medical-grade centrifuge systems (such as those used at The London PRP Clinic) consistently produce high platelet concentrations through controlled spin parameters. Basic single-spin kits used at budget clinics produce variable, often suboptimal concentrations. The centrifuge you never see is one of the biggest determinants of whether your PRP actually works.

What is included in the price

A headline price of £280 that does not include consultation (£50 extra), supplements (£40 extra), progress photography (£30 extra), and follow-up (another consultation fee) is not cheaper than £395 that includes everything. Always ask what the total cost is, not just the injection price.

London PRP clinic comparison: what you actually get at each price point

Budget tier: £150 to £300 per session

Clinics in this range include Dermamina (from £280), Hair Loss Studios in Bromley (from £150), and various aesthetic salons offering PRP as an add-on service. Aventus Clinic charges from £300.

At this price point, you typically receive treatment by a beautician, nurse, or aesthetic therapist rather than a doctor. Basic centrifuge kits with variable platelet concentration. No formal diagnostic assessment. No blood work guidance. No supplements included. Limited or no progress photography. Shorter appointments with less clinical oversight.

These clinics serve a purpose for patients on tight budgets, but the clinical evidence is clear: treatment quality directly affects outcomes. A 2024 review found that PRP preparation method was one of the strongest predictors of clinical success.

Mid-range tier: £295 to £475 per session

Clinics in this range include the Wimpole Clinic on Harley Street (from £295), Rejuvence Clinic in Canary Wharf (from £300), and The London Skin and Hair Clinic (£475 per session, £1,275 for three).

At this price point, you typically receive more experienced practitioners (often nurse prescribers, sometimes doctors), better centrifuge systems, some level of clinical assessment, and more structured treatment protocols. The Wimpole Clinic is primarily a hair transplant clinic that offers PRP as an adjunct. PRP London Clinic offers a range of regenerative treatments at competitive prices.

This tier offers reasonable quality but varies significantly between clinics. Always ask specifically who will perform the treatment and what centrifuge system is used.

Top tier: £545+ per session

The London PRP Clinic by The Wellness charges £545 per session for our fully comprehensive package, including hair vitamins and hair oils and evidence-based hair growth protocl (£1,455 for a course of three). The London Cosmetic Clinic charges approximately £550 per session for doctor-led PRP only. Dr David Jack on Harley Street charges from £650 per session for doctor-led PRP.

At The London PRP Clinic, £545 includes comprehensive consultation with a GMC-registered doctor, diagnosis-first assessment including blood work recommendations, advanced medical-grade centrifuge PRP preparation, the PRP treatment itself performed by the doctor, Viviscal hair growth supplements (for hair patients) or bespoke mesotherapy cocktail (for facial patients), objective progress tracking, aftercare guidance and follow-up monitoring, and access to the full regenerative toolkit with honest recommendation of which is best for you.

There is nothing extra to pay. The price is the price.

The five questions to ask any PRP clinic before booking

1. Who will perform my treatment?

The only acceptable answer is a GMC-registered doctor or, at minimum, an independent prescriber nurse working under direct doctor supervision. If the answer is "our trained therapist" or "our aesthetic practitioner," understand that you are not receiving medical-grade treatment.

2. What is your documented success rate?

Most clinics cannot answer this question because they do not track outcomes. The London PRP Clinic documents an 87% success rate across all hair restoration patients, tracked through standardised photography and patient outcome monitoring. This is higher than the 70 to 80% average reported across clinical trials, reflecting doctor-led treatment, advanced preparation, and thorough patient selection.

3. Do you assess why I am losing hair before treating?

If the clinic offers to book you straight in for PRP without assessing the underlying cause, they are treating symptoms without diagnosis. Iron deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and other treatable conditions should be identified before PRP is administered. PRP applied to a patient with undiagnosed iron deficiency will underperform. PRP applied after iron correction will produce far better results.

4. What is included in the quoted price?

Why cheap PRP is the most expensive mistake

We see patients regularly who come to The London PRP Clinic after trying budget PRP elsewhere with no results. They have spent £280 to £600 on two or three sessions that produced nothing, and now they need to start again with proper treatment. Their total spend ends up being £1,500 to £2,000 more than if they had started with a quality clinic from the beginning.

The clinical evidence is unambiguous. PRP preparation quality, practitioner expertise, and diagnostic assessment all directly affect outcomes. A £150 PRP session with low platelet concentration, no diagnosis, and no medical oversight has a significantly lower probability of success than a £545 session with optimised preparation, doctor assessment, and comprehensive follow-up.

The most expensive PRP is the PRP that does not work.
