Can PRP Really Regrow Hair? London Expert Analysis
The short answer is yes, but results depend on timing, technique, and patient selection. Clinical evidence shows PRP stimulates dormant follicles and improves hair density when administered correctly.
The Science Behind PRP Hair Regrowth
Platelets release growth factors that extend the anagen growth phase, reduce inflammation around follicles, and improve blood supply to the scalp. This creates optimal conditions for regrowth.
Studies show 60-70% of patients with androgenetic alopecia experience measurable improvement. Those with early-stage thinning see the strongest results. Advanced baldness with scarred follicles responds poorly.
What Results to Expect
Patients typically notice reduced shedding within 6-8 weeks. New hair growth becomes visible around 3-4 months. Peak density improvements occur at 6-9 months.
Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain results. Without maintenance, gradual regression may occur over 12-18 months.
Who Responds Best
Women with diffuse thinning, men with early male pattern baldness, and patients with hormonal hair loss respond well. Those with completely bald areas or scarred follicles see limited benefit.
Combining PRP with minoxidil or finasteride often produces superior outcomes compared to single treatments.
Our Medical Protocol
We use advanced centrifugation to maximise platelet concentration and activate growth factors with calcium gluconate. Precise injection depth ensures optimal follicle stimulation.
Each treatment includes 50-100 microinjections across thinning zones. Sessions take 60-90 minutes with minimal discomfort.
Realistic Expectations
PRP improves density and thickness but doesn't create new follicles. Expect 30-40% improvement in hair count and 20-30% increase in shaft thickness.
Results vary between individuals. Factors include age, extent of hair loss, and overall health.
