Emerging treatments like JAK inhibitors and topical androgen receptor antagonists are showing promising results in clinical trials.

How Many PRP Sessions for Hair

24 Jan

Written By Omar Elalfy

Most patients need 3-4 initial PRP sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6-12 months. This protocol is supported by clinical evidence and is what we recommend at The London PRP Clinic.

Recommended PRP Protocol

Initial Treatment Phase

Sessions: 3-4 treatments

Spacing: Every 4-6 weeks

Duration: 3-4 months total

Purpose: Build up growth factors, stimulate follicles, establish improvement

Maintenance Phase

Frequency: Every 6-12 months

Ongoing: Indefinitely to maintain results

Purpose: Preserve gains, prevent regression

Why Multiple Sessions?

Single sessions don't work well because:

Hair follicles need repeated stimulation
Growth factors need to accumulate
Hair growth cycle takes months
One treatment can't sustain long-term results

Studies Show:

Patients receiving 3+ sessions have significantly better outcomes than those receiving 1-2
Maintenance treatments preserve results long-term
Without maintenance, results gradually fade over 12-18 months

What Happens at Each Session

Session 1:

Initial treatment
Begin stimulating dormant follicles
May notice reduced shedding within 2-4 weeks

Session 2 (4-6 weeks later):

Reinforce initial treatment
Growth factors accumulate
Hair may start feeling stronger

Session 3 (4-6 weeks later):

Consolidate results
Visible improvement usually begins
Hair density increasing

Session 4 (optional, 4-6 weeks later):

For more advanced hair loss
Further enhancement

Maintenance (every 6-12 months):

Preserve results
Prevent regression
Top up growth factors

Factors Affecting Treatment Frequency

You May Need More Sessions If:

Hair loss is more advanced
Starting later in hair loss journey
Aggressive progression
Underlying health factors

You May Need Fewer Sessions If:

Very early hair loss
Primarily maintenance/prevention
Excellent response to initial treatment

The London PRP Clinic Protocol

Standard Package: 3 sessions over 12 weeks

Includes:

Free consultation
3 PRP treatments (weeks 0, 6, 12)
Viviscal® Professional supplements
Clinical photography
6-month review

Cost: £1,455 for course of 3

Maintenance: £495 per session (typically every 6-12 months)

What If I Can Only Afford Fewer Sessions?

Something is better than nothing, but results will be limited. If budget is tight:

Start with 2 sessions minimum
Add maintenance when possible
Consider combining with minoxidil/finasteride

Ideally, commit to the full protocol. PRP is an investment—doing it properly maximises return.
