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, 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.

Hair transplants suit advanced loss (Norwood 5-7): permanent but surgical, 2-week recovery, £3,000-15,000.

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.

Is PRP Worth It for Hair Loss

24 Jan

Written By Omar Elalfy

PRP is worth it for most patients with early to moderate hair loss who commit to the full treatment protocol. With 70-90% of patients seeing improvement and 87% satisfaction at our clinic, PRP offers strong value for non-surgical hair restoration. However, it's not right for everyone—advanced baldness, single treatments, or unrealistic expectations lead to disappointment.

The Honest Cost-Benefit Analysis

Costs

First Year:

Course of 3 sessions: £1,455
1 maintenance session: £495
Total: ~£1,950

Ongoing (per year):

1-2 maintenance sessions: £495-990

5-Year Investment:

Year 1: £1,950
Years 2-5: £3,000-4,000
Total: ~£5,000-6,000

Benefits

Thicker, fuller hair
Reduced shedding
Slowed hair loss progression
Improved confidence
Non-surgical (no scars, no downtime)
Natural results (your own hair)
May delay or avoid transplant

When PRP IS Worth It

You're a Good Candidate If:

Hair loss is early to moderate (Norwood 2-4)
You have thinning, not complete baldness
You start treatment within 5 years of noticing loss
You'll complete the full protocol (3+ sessions + maintenance)
You have realistic expectations (thickness improvement, not miracles)
Alternative is hair transplant (PRP is much cheaper)
Confidence and appearance matter to you

When PRP Is NOT Worth It

Think Twice If:

Hair loss is very advanced (Norwood 6-7)
Areas are completely bald (no follicles to stimulate)
You can only afford one session
You expect dramatic regrowth
You won't commit to maintenance
Underlying cause isn't addressed (thyroid, deficiencies)

PRP vs Alternatives: Value Comparison

Do Nothing:

Cost: £0
Result: Continued hair loss
Worth it? No—if hair matters to you

Minoxidil + Finasteride:

Cost: £200-400/year
Result: Slows loss, modest regrowth for some
Worth it? Good starting point, often combined with PRP

PRP:

Cost: £1,500-2,000/year
Result: Thickening, reduced shedding, 70-90% satisfaction
Worth it? Yes for most early-moderate loss

Hair Transplant:

Cost: £5,000-15,000 (one-time) + PRP maintenance
Result: Permanent coverage of bald areas
Worth it? Yes for advanced loss, but expensive

What Patients Say

"Worth every penny" "I was sceptical but after 3 sessions my hair is visibly thicker. My wife noticed before I did. Wish I'd started sooner."

"Changed my confidence" "As a woman with thinning hair, PRP gave me back my confidence. I no longer dread photos or windy days."

"Good but not magic" "My hair is definitely better. It's not a miracle cure but it's stopped the decline and thickened what I have. For me, worth it."

Our Honest Recommendation

PRP is worth it if you:

Start early
Do it properly
Have realistic expectations

It's one of the most effective non-surgical options available. But it requires commitment—to the treatment protocol and the ongoing investment.
