Hair PRP With a Prescription Foam: Why a Combined Approach Can Help

Pattern hair loss is a long-term condition, and for many people the best chance of a lasting result comes from combining treatments that work in different ways. Hair PRP supports the follicles from within the scalp, while a personalised prescription foam is applied at home between sessions. At The London PRP Clinic hair PRP with a prescription foam is Β£595, and the foam is prescribed only where the doctor judges it appropriate.

Key points

  • Combining treatments that work in different ways can give the best chance of results.

  • Hair PRP with a personalised prescription foam is Β£595.

  • The foam is prescribed only after the doctor's assessment, where appropriate.

  • Your doctor explains possible side effects and how to use the foam.

  • Progress is reviewed with photographs over several months.

Who is the combined approach for?

It suits adults with male or female pattern hair loss who want to give their hair the best support, and people who have tried a single treatment with limited results. It is not suitable for everyone, which is why your doctor assesses you first.

What does the doctor's assessment include?

  • A history of your hair loss, health, medicines and any plans for pregnancy

  • An examination of the scalp and pattern of thinning

  • Blood tests where they would help

  • A discussion of the treatment options, including the benefits and possible side effects of each

  • A personalised plan, with photographs to track progress

How do PRP and a prescription foam work together?

Hair PRP

A small blood sample is taken and spun to concentrate the platelets, which are injected into the thinning areas. PRP is thought to support follicles through growth factors released by the platelets.

The prescription foam

A foam is applied to the scalp at home, usually daily. Prescription treatments for pattern hair loss, such as minoxidil, are among the most established options, and your doctor will decide what is appropriate for you. Because the foam is used between sessions, it supports the scalp every day rather than only at the clinic.

How much does hair PRP with prescription foam cost?

Hair PRP with a personalised prescription foam is Β£595 at The London PRP Clinic. Hair PRP on its own is Β£450 per session.

If you would like us to prepare for your consultation, you are welcome to send clear photos of the area in good light when you message us, so your doctor can see the starting point. Photos help us plan your appointment, and your doctor's assessment and advice are given at the consultation itself.

Are there side effects?

PRP can cause temporary scalp tenderness, redness or mild swelling. Prescription foams can cause scalp irritation, and some people notice temporary extra shedding in the first weeks as the hair cycle changes. Your doctor will explain the possible side effects of anything prescribed, and some treatments are not suitable during pregnancy or when planning a pregnancy.

How long until I see a difference?

Changes are gradual. Many people need to use treatment consistently for several months before a difference in density is visible. Your doctor will review your progress with photographs and adjust the plan.

How do I use the foam?

Your doctor will explain exactly how and when to apply the foam, usually to a dry scalp, and how long to leave it before washing or styling. Using it consistently matters more than using a lot of it. If you notice irritation or anything unexpected, contact us and your doctor will review it.

How do I arrange a consultation?

Send us a message on WhatsApp and we will offer you the earliest appointment with one of our doctors at our clinics in Marylebone or Belgravia. At your first visit the doctor assesses you and agrees a plan with you before any treatment, so you know exactly what is recommended, why, and what it will cost.

After each session you receive clear aftercare advice in writing, and our team books your reviews and any further sessions, so your plan stays on track without you having to chase it.
