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.

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).

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.

PRP for Knee Pain London

27 Jan

Written By Omar Elalfy

The London PRP Clinic offers PRP injections for knee pain from £495. PRP can reduce pain and improve function in knee osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and chronic joint problems. Doctor-led treatment at our Marylebone clinic.

How PRP Helps Knee Pain

PRP contains growth factors that:

Reduce inflammation in the joint
Stimulate cartilage repair
Promote tissue healing
Decrease pain signals
Improve joint lubrication

Conditions Treated:

Knee osteoarthritis (mild to moderate)
Meniscus injuries
Ligament sprains
Tendinopathy
Post-surgical healing
Chronic knee pain

What the Evidence Says

Clinical Research Shows:

PRP reduces knee pain in 70-80% of osteoarthritis patients
Effects can last 6-12 months
Multiple studies show PRP outperforms hyaluronic acid injections
Best results in mild-moderate arthritis (not severe bone-on-bone)

PRP Won't:

Regrow cartilage completely
Cure advanced arthritis
Replace knee replacement surgery when truly needed

Treatment Process

Step 1: Consultation

Doctor assesses your knee, reviews any scans, and confirms PRP suitability.

Step 2: Blood Draw

Small sample taken from arm.

Step 3: Processing

Blood centrifuged to create concentrated PRP.

Step 4: Injection

PRP injected directly into knee joint. Takes 5-10 minutes.

Step 5: Recovery

Rest for 24-48 hours. Gradual return to activity over 1-2 weeks.

Results Timeline

Week 1: May feel slightly worse initially (normal inflammatory response)

Week 2-4: Pain begins to improve

Week 6-8: Significant improvement in most patients

Month 3-6: Optimal results

Duration: Effects typically last 6-12 months; can repeat

Who Benefits Most

Ideal Candidates:

Sports injuries not responding to physio
Wanting to delay or avoid surgery
Active lifestyle despite knee problems
Previous steroid injections wearing off

Less Suitable For:

Severe bone-on-bone arthritis
Major ligament tears requiring surgery
Infection in the knee
Blood disorders

PRP:

Your own blood
Promotes healing
