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.

Exosome Hair Treatment London: The 2026 Guide to the Most Advanced Regenerative Hair Therapy

3 Mar

Written By Omar Elalfy

Medically reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor at The PRP Clinic | Last updated: February 2026

Exosome therapy is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about advances in regenerative hair medicine. Where PRP has been the gold standard for non-surgical hair restoration for the past decade, exosomes represent the next generation — delivering a more concentrated, more targeted biological signal to hair follicles. Major dermatology publications, clinical trials, and aesthetic industry experts across the UK are all pointing to exosomes as one of the defining treatments of 2026.

But what exactly are exosomes? How do they compare to PRP? And most importantly — do they actually work for hair loss? This guide breaks down the science, the evidence, and what to look for when choosing a clinic in London.

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles — essentially tiny biological "parcels" — released by cells throughout the body. They are typically 30 to 150 nanometres in diameter (about 1,000 times smaller than a human hair) and play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication.

What makes exosomes so valuable for regenerative medicine is their cargo. Each exosome carries a rich payload of growth factors, proteins, lipids, messenger RNA (mRNA), and microRNA — all of which act as signalling molecules that instruct target cells to repair, regenerate, and rejuvenate.

In the context of hair restoration, exosomes derived from stem cells are of particular interest. These contain concentrated regenerative signals that can directly influence the behaviour of hair follicle stem cells, dermal papilla cells, and the surrounding scalp tissue.

How does exosome therapy work for hair loss?

When exosomes are delivered to the scalp — typically via microneedling to enhance absorption — they initiate a cascade of biological responses.

Follicle reactivation: Exosomes communicate with dormant hair follicle stem cells, essentially "waking them up" and encouraging re-entry into the active growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle.

Inflammation reduction: Chronic low-grade inflammation in the scalp is a significant contributor to hair loss. Exosomes carry potent anti-inflammatory molecules that help calm the scalp environment and reduce the damage that inflammation causes to follicles.

Enhanced growth factor delivery: Exosomes deliver a concentrated cocktail of growth factors — including those that promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), cell proliferation, and tissue repair — directly to the cells that need them most.

Improved follicle environment: By reducing oxidative stress and supporting cellular repair mechanisms, exosomes create a healthier microenvironment around hair follicles, allowing them to function more effectively and produce stronger, thicker hair.

Synergy with microneedling: The micro-channels created by microneedling allow exosomes to penetrate deeply into the scalp, reaching the dermal papilla cells at the base of hair follicles. This combination significantly amplifies the treatment's effectiveness compared to topical application alone.

What does the clinical evidence say about exosomes for hair?

Exosome therapy for hair loss is still a relatively young field compared to PRP, but the clinical evidence is accumulating rapidly and the results are encouraging.

A systematic review published in 2025 (spanning databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Embase) evaluated clinical studies on exosome-based treatments for hair loss. The review found that exosome therapy shows "strong potential for promoting hair follicle regeneration," particularly when combined with microneedling delivery methods.

In a placebo-controlled study, patients receiving microneedle-assisted exosome treatment showed improvements in mean hair density of 35 hairs per square centimetre compared to just 3 hairs per square centimetre in the placebo group — along with a 13 micrometre increase in hair shaft thickness.

A 2024 study published in the International Journal of Trichology reported up to 25% greater regrowth with exosomes compared to PRP alone, though researchers noted that combining both treatments appeared to create a synergistic effect.

Most studies utilised exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with delivery via microneedling being the most effective method. The majority of patients reported improvements in density, thickness, and overall hair quality within 8 to 12 weeks, with peak results around 6 months.

Important context: While the early data is very promising, exosome therapy for hair loss is still evolving. Large-scale randomised controlled trials are ongoing, and regulatory frameworks are continuing to develop. At The PRP Clinic, we use CE-certified exosome products and maintain full transparency with patients about the current state of evidence.

Exosomes vs PRP for hair loss: which is better?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and the honest answer is that both treatments have significant value — and they work differently.

PRP uses your own blood platelets to deliver autologous growth factors. It has a deeper evidence base with more published randomised controlled trials, is well-established in clinical practice, and has an excellent safety profile. Its effectiveness depends partly on the patient's own platelet quality, which can vary with age, health status, and lifestyle factors.

Exosomes deliver a standardised, concentrated payload of growth factors and signalling molecules derived from stem cells. They do not depend on the patient's blood quality, may deliver a higher concentration of regenerative signals, and have shown early data suggesting potentially superior outcomes. However, the evidence base is still growing, and standardisation between products varies.

Our recommendation: rather than viewing these as competing treatments, the latest clinical thinking positions them as complementary. Combining PRP with exosome therapy can create a more potent regenerative environment — your own autologous growth factors working alongside concentrated stem cell-derived signals. At The PRP Clinic, we offer both as standalone options and as a combined protocol depending on your individual assessment.

What is ExoRevive at The PRP Clinic?

ExoRevive is our signature exosome hair treatment, combining medical-grade exosomes with professional microneedling and our holistic patient care approach.

The treatment begins with a full doctor-led consultation. We assess your hair loss pattern, medical history, and overall health. Blood tests may be recommended to identify contributing factors such as nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances.

During the ExoRevive treatment, a topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort. Medical-grade microneedling creates thousands of precise micro-channels across the treatment area. A concentrated exosome solution — packed with billions of regenerative vesicles — is applied immediately, allowing deep penetration into the scalp tissue. The entire process takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

What makes our approach different is the holistic framework. ExoRevive is not delivered in isolation. We build a complete treatment plan that may include personalised supplements to support hair health from within, scalp care guidance, and optional combination with PRP for patients seeking maximum results.

ExoRevive sessions start from £445 at The PRP Clinic.

What to expect: timeline, results, and aftercare

Immediately after treatment: Mild redness and some tenderness on the scalp are normal and typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours. There is minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities the same day.

First 4 to 6 weeks: Reduced shedding is often the first sign that the treatment is working. Follicles are beginning to respond to the regenerative signals.

8 to 12 weeks: Many patients begin noticing new fine hairs emerging in previously thinning areas. Existing hair may feel stronger and thicker.

3 to 6 months: Significant improvement in hair density and quality. This is when the cumulative effects of the treatment course become most visible.

6 to 12 months: Peak results from a full treatment course. Maintenance sessions help sustain and build on these improvements.

Aftercare: Avoid washing hair for 24 hours post-treatment. Avoid swimming pools, saunas, or intense sweating for 48 hours. Follow your personalised supplement protocol as directed by your doctor. Attend scheduled follow-up appointments so we can track your progress and adjust your plan if needed.

Who is exosome therapy suitable for?

Exosome therapy is suitable for men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning, diffuse shedding, androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), stress-related or post-partum hair loss, and those looking to enhance results after a hair transplant.

It is particularly valuable for patients who have had limited response to other treatments, older patients whose PRP effectiveness may be reduced due to lower platelet quality, and anyone seeking the most advanced non-surgical regenerative option currently available.

As with all treatments at The PRP Clinic, suitability is determined through individual doctor assessment. We do not offer a one-size-fits-all approach.
