PRP Injections for Hair Loss

17 Feb

Written By Omar Elalfy

PRP injections for hair loss involve injecting concentrated platelets from your own blood into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and promote regrowth. The London PRP Clinic offers doctor-led PRP injections from £545 per session, with an 87% patient satisfaction rate and over 187 five-star reviews.

How PRP Injections Work

The Science:

Your blood contains platelets rich in growth factors. When concentrated and injected into the scalp, these growth factors:

Stimulate dormant hair follicles
Increase blood supply to follicles
Extend the hair growth phase (anagen)
Thicken existing hair strands
Reduce inflammation that damages follicles

The Process:

Small blood sample taken (similar to routine blood test)
Blood placed in centrifuge to separate components
Platelet-rich plasma extracted and concentrated
PRP injected into scalp using fine needles
Treatment takes 60-90 minutes total

What Makes PRP Injections Effective

Natural Treatment

PRP uses your own blood—no synthetic chemicals or foreign substances. This eliminates risk of allergic reaction and ensures biocompatibility.

Growth Factor Concentration

Proper PRP preparation creates plasma with 5-10x normal platelet concentration. This concentrated dose delivers powerful growth signals directly to follicles.

Targeted Delivery

Injections place growth factors exactly where needed—at the hair follicle level. This direct delivery is more effective than topical treatments.

Early to moderate hair loss (Norwood 2-4 men, Ludwig 1-2 women)
