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 Hair Treatment Before and After

16 Feb

Written By Omar Elalfy

PRP hair treatment typically shows visible before and after results within 3-6 months, with clinical studies demonstrating 30-40% improvement in hair density. The London PRP Clinic documents every patient's progress with standardised clinical photography, showing measurable improvement in thickness, coverage, and hair quality.

What Results Can You Expect?

Realistic Outcomes:

30-40% increase in hair density (clinical average)
Thicker individual hair strands

What PRP Won't Do:

Regrow hair in completely bald areas
Work overnight (results take months)
Replace hair transplant for advanced baldness
Guarantee identical results for everyone

Results Timeline: What to Expect

Week 1-2

You may notice reduced shedding. This is often the first sign PRP is working. The scalp may feel slightly tender for 24-48 hours post-treatment.

Month 1-2

Hair begins to feel stronger and thicker. Existing hairs are reinforced. You might notice less hair in your brush or shower drain.

Month 3-4

Visible improvement typically begins. Before and after photos start showing measurable difference. Hair appears fuller, especially in thinning areas.

Month 6

Optimal results from initial treatment course. Clinical photography shows clearest improvement. This is when most patients see their best transformation.

Month 6-12

Results maintained with proper aftercare. Maintenance sessions recommended every 6-12 months to preserve gains.

FAQ

How long until I see results?

Most patients notice reduced shedding within 2-4 weeks. Visible thickness improvement typically appears at 3-4 months, with optimal results at 6 months.

Are results permanent?

Results require maintenance. Without ongoing treatment, improvements gradually fade over 12-18 months. Maintenance sessions every 6-12 months preserve results.

Will I look like the best before/after photos online?

Results vary significantly based on your hair loss stage, health, and genetics. Be cautious of dramatic photos—they may show best-case scenarios or be digitally enhanced.
