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.

What's the best hair loss treatment in London?

The best hair loss treatment depends on your specific condition, but combination therapy often yields optimal results.

Executive Health Check London: The Complete Guide to Comprehensive Health Screening in 2026

8 Feb

Written By Omar Elalfy

A comprehensive executive health check analyses 50+ biomarkers covering cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, hormones, nutrients, and organ function, identifying potential health issues an average of 5-7 years before symptoms appear, when intervention is most effective. At The Wellness in Marylebone, our executive health assessments are designed for busy professionals who need thorough evaluation without wasting time.

As a high-performing professional, your health is your most valuable asset. Yet the demands of executive life often mean health takes a back seat until problems become unavoidable. A comprehensive health assessment allows you to take a proactive approach, identifying and addressing issues before they impact your performance, career, or quality of life.

Why Executives Need Comprehensive Health Screening

The Silent Risk Problem

Many serious health conditions develop silently over years:

Cardiovascular disease: Often undetected until heart attack or stroke
Type 2 diabetes: Can progress undiagnosed for 7-10 years
High blood pressure: "Silent killer" with no obvious symptoms
Fatty liver disease: Affects 30% of adults, usually without symptoms
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies: Cause fatigue attributed to "stress"
Thyroid dysfunction: Often dismissed as normal ageing
Hormonal decline: Gradual changes mistaken for "getting older"

The Executive Health Paradox

Successful professionals often neglect their health precisely because they're successful:

Too busy to schedule appointments
High stress increases health risks
Business travel disrupts routines
Entertaining involves alcohol and rich food
Sedentary office work
Poor sleep due to work demands

The very factors driving professional success create health vulnerabilities.

What We Screen For (And Why It Matters)

Cardiovascular Disease

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death. We go beyond basic cholesterol:

ApoB: Better predicts risk than LDL alone
Lipoprotein(a): Genetic risk factor affecting 20% of people
hs-CRP: Inflammation contributes to atherosclerosis
ECG: Detects rhythm abnormalities
Coronary calcium score (premium): Direct imaging of arterial plaque

Metabolic Health and Diabetes Risk

Type 2 diabetes develops over years. We identify it early:

Fasting glucose: Current blood sugar
HbA1c: 3-month average (catches what fasting misses)
Fasting insulin: Elevated before glucose rises
HOMA-IR: Calculates insulin resistance

Catching pre-diabetes allows reversal; catching diabetes means lifelong management.

Hormone Optimisation

Hormones significantly affect energy, cognition, mood, and body composition:

Testosterone: Declines 1-2% annually after 30 in men
Thyroid: Affects metabolism, energy, weight
Cortisol: Chronic stress dysregulates this system
DHEA: "Youth hormone" declines with age

Optimising hormones can transform energy, performance, and quality of life.

Nutrient Deficiencies

Deficiencies cause symptoms often attributed to stress or ageing:

Vitamin D: Affects immunity, mood, bone health, energy
B12: Critical for energy, cognition, nerve function
Iron: Deficiency causes fatigue, weakness
Magnesium: Affects sleep, muscle function, stress response

Correcting deficiencies often produces dramatic improvements in how you feel.

Who Should Get an Executive Health Check?

Recommended for:

Executives and business leaders
Professionals aged 35+ (or younger with risk factors)
Anyone with family history of heart disease, diabetes, or cancer
Those experiencing unexplained fatigue or declining performance
Frequent travellers and high-stress professionals
Anyone who hasn't had comprehensive screening in 3+ years
Those planning major life changes (new role, retirement)

Particularly important if you have:

High-pressure career
Family history of cardiovascular disease
Sedentary work lifestyle
Regular alcohol consumption
Previous abnormal results
Symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or reduced performance

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have an executive health check?

Annually for most executives. More frequently if managing specific conditions or after abnormal results. Less frequently (every 2-3 years) may suffice for younger, lower-risk individuals.

How does this differ from an NHS health check?

NHS health checks are brief (15-20 minutes), test limited markers, and offer minimal interpretation. Executive health checks are comprehensive (2-3 hours), test 50+ markers, and provide detailed personalised guidance.

Should I fast before my appointment?

Yes. Please fast for 10-12 hours before your appointment (water is fine). This ensures accurate glucose, insulin, and lipid measurements.

When will I receive my results?

Initial results are often available same-day. Complete results with written report within 5 working days. Follow-up consultation included.

What if you find something concerning?

We discuss findings immediately and arrange appropriate follow-up, whether that's additional testing, specialist referral, or treatment at our clinic. We don't leave you wondering what to do next.

Can I claim this on health insurance?

Some private health insurance policies cover preventive screening. Check with your provider. We provide detailed invoices for claims or corporate expense.

Is this just for men?

No. We provide executive health assessments for both men and women, with gender-appropriate testing (different hormone panels, cancer markers, etc.).
