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.

Hair Thinning Solutions That Actually Work in 2026

28 Dec

Written By Omar Elalfy

The hair care aisle is full of promises. Thickening shampoos. Volumising serums. Supplements that claim to transform your hair in 30 days.

You have probably tried several. Maybe many. And your hair is still thinning.

Here is the truth about what actually works for hair thinning, based on evidence rather than marketing.

Why Most Products Fail

Hair grows from follicles beneath the scalp. Products applied to hair strands cannot reach these follicles in any meaningful way.

Thickening shampoos coat existing hair to make it appear fuller. The moment you wash, the effect disappears. Volumising products do the same. They are styling aids, not treatments.

Even products claiming to penetrate the scalp rarely deliver active ingredients in concentrations that make a difference.

Real hair thinning treatment needs to reach the follicles and influence the growth cycle. This requires either systemic treatment, topical medications proven to penetrate, or direct delivery to the scalp.

Treatments With Real Evidence

Minoxidil

Originally a blood pressure medication, minoxidil was discovered to promote hair growth as a side effect. Applied topically twice daily, it extends the growth phase of hair and stimulates follicles.

It works for both men and women. Results take four to six months to become visible. You must continue using it to maintain results.

Minoxidil is available over the counter but works better with medical guidance on proper use.

Finasteride

This prescription tablet blocks the hormone DHT that causes male pattern baldness. It is highly effective for men but cannot be used by women of childbearing age.

Finasteride slows hair loss and often promotes regrowth. Like minoxidil, ongoing use is required to maintain benefits.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma delivers concentrated growth factors directly to hair follicles. It stimulates dormant follicles, extends the growth phase, and improves scalp health.

PRP is natural, uses your own blood, and has no systemic side effects. It works for both men and women and can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results.

A series of treatments delivers best results, with maintenance sessions sustaining improvement.

Low Level Laser Therapy

Medical-grade laser devices stimulate cellular activity in follicles. Evidence supports modest benefit, particularly when combined with other treatments.

Home devices vary in quality. Medical-grade devices used in clinics deliver more consistent energy levels.

Hair Transplantation

Surgical relocation of follicles from donor areas to thinning regions. Results are permanent but the procedure is invasive, expensive, and limited by available donor hair.

Why We Recommend Starting With PRP

PRP offers several advantages as a first-line treatment.

It is natural. Nothing synthetic enters your body. For people cautious about medications, this matters.

It addresses multiple factors. Growth factors improve blood supply, reduce inflammation, and stimulate follicles. This multi-mechanism approach often outperforms single-target treatments.

It combines well with other treatments. PRP can enhance results from minoxidil, prepare the scalp before transplant, or serve as standalone therapy.

Results look natural because they are natural. Your own follicles producing your own hair.

What About Supplements

Supplements only help if you have deficiencies. Biotin, iron, zinc, and vitamin D all play roles in hair health. But if your levels are normal, taking more does not help.

Blood testing identifies actual deficiencies worth correcting. Taking supplements blindly wastes money and may cause imbalances.

The Importance of Early Action

Hair follicles that have been dormant too long may not respond to treatment. Follicles that have died cannot be revived.

Starting treatment while thinning is mild gives the best outcomes. Waiting until hair loss is advanced limits what any treatment can achieve.

If you are noticing thinning, now is the time to act.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which treatment is right for me? A proper consultation assesses your hair loss pattern, cause, and severity. Treatment recommendations are based on your individual situation.

Can I use multiple treatments together? Yes. Combination approaches often work better than single treatments. We can design a protocol using multiple modalities.

How long before I see results? Most treatments take three to six months to show visible improvement. Hair growth is gradual.

What if nothing works? If non-surgical options do not achieve your goals, surgical options can be discussed. However, most patients respond to proper medical treatment.
