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.

How much does PRP treatment cost in London?

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).

What PRP services are available at The London PRP Clinic?

We offer PRP treatments for hair loss, beard growth, facial rejuvenation, under-eye treatment, knee joint pain, and scalp health. All treatments are doctor-led and evidence-based, delivered at our Marylebone, Canary Wharf, and Belgravia London locations.

How much does PRP cost for hair loss in London?

At The London PRP Clinic, PRP hair treatment costs £545 per session including Viviscal™ supplements and organic oils. Most patients need 3-4 initial sessions (package available at £1,500, saving £135). ExoRevive exosome treatment is £445 per session.

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 Treatment Cost London: Understanding Pricing and Value for Hair Restoration

4 Feb

Written By Omar Elalfy

PRP hair treatment in London typically costs £300-700 per session, with packages of 3 sessions ranging from £900-1,800 depending on clinic reputation, practitioner qualifications, and equipment quality. Understanding what influences pricing helps you make informed decisions about value rather than simply choosing the cheapest option.

When researching PRP treatment, cost is naturally a major consideration. However, the significant price variation across London clinics reflects genuine differences in quality. In this guide, we'll break down pricing factors, explain what you should expect at different price points, and help you understand the true value of your investment.

London PRP Hair Treatment Price Overview

Current London Market Prices (2026):

Clinic CategoryPrice per SessionPackage of 3Budget clinics£200-350£500-900Mid-range clinics£350-500£900-1,300Premium medical clinics£450-700£1,200-1,800Harley Street specialist£600-800+£1,500-2,200+

At The Wellness:

TreatmentPriceSingle PRP session£495Package of 3 sessions£1,295 (save £190)Package of 6 sessions£2,390 (save £580)Maintenance session (existing patients)£445

Our pricing reflects GMC-registered physician treatment, medical-grade equipment, and comprehensive care.

What Affects PRP Treatment Cost

1. Practitioner Qualifications

The most significant cost variable is who performs your treatment.

Nurses or aestheticians: Lower cost (£200-400)
Non-specialist doctors: Mid-range cost (£350-500)
Specialist doctors (dermatology, regenerative medicine): Higher cost (£450-700+)

At The Wellness, all PRP treatments are performed by GMC-registered physicians with training in regenerative medicine. This costs more than nurse-led treatments but ensures proper assessment, technique, and management of any complications.

2. Equipment Quality

The centrifuge system used affects PRP quality:

Basic systems: Lower platelet concentration, less consistent results
Medical-grade systems: Optimal concentration (3-5x baseline), reliable outcomes

We use medical-grade equipment calibrated for precise, consistent platelet concentration.

3. Consultation Quality

Budget clinics: Brief assessment, limited personalisation
Quality clinics: Thorough consultation, customised protocol, comprehensive follow-up

Your initial consultation should include detailed history, scalp examination, trichoscopy if available, and realistic discussion of expected outcomes.

4. Location and Overheads

Central London locations (Harley Street, Marylebone, Mayfair) have higher operating costs, reflected in pricing. However, location alone doesn't guarantee quality.

5. Included Services

Understanding Value vs Price

The True Cost of Cheap Treatment

Consider two scenarios:

Scenario A: Budget clinic at £250/session

3 sessions: £750
Performed by aesthetician
Basic equipment
Results: 40% improvement
Need additional treatments due to underwhelming results: 2 more sessions at £250 = £500
Total spent: £1,250
Final outcome: Modest improvement

Scenario B: Quality clinic at £495/session

3 sessions: £1,295 (package price)
Performed by specialist doctor
Medical-grade equipment
Results: 70% improvement
Maintenance as planned
Total spent: £1,295
Final outcome: Significant improvement

The "expensive" option delivered better results at a lower total cost.

What You're Really Paying For:

At a quality clinic, your investment covers:

Thorough medical assessment
Proper diagnosis (not just accepting "you need PRP")
Optimal PRP preparation
Expert injection technique
Appropriate treatment areas
Proper follow-up
Complication management if needed
Honest assessment of your candidacy

Financing and Payment Options

At The Wellness:

Package savings: Commit to multiple sessions upfront for significant discounts
Payment plans: 0% interest financing available (subject to approval)
Per-session payment: Flexibility if you prefer not to commit upfront

Health Insurance:

PRP hair treatment is typically considered cosmetic and not covered by private health insurance. Some policies may cover initial consultation and blood tests if investigating medical causes of hair loss. Check with your provider.

Comparing Clinic Quotes: What to Ask

When evaluating different clinics, ask:

1. Who performs the treatment? Nurse, doctor, or specialist? What are their qualifications?

2. What equipment do you use? Brand and type of centrifuge system?

3. What platelet concentration do you achieve? Should be 3-5x baseline for optimal results.

4. What's included in the price? Consultation, follow-up, photography, aftercare?

5. What's your experience with hair loss PRP specifically? How many procedures have they performed?

6. Can I see before/after photos of your patients? Real results from that clinic, not stock images.

7. What happens if I'm not a good candidate? Will they be honest or proceed regardless?

Red Flags:

Reluctance to discuss qualifications
Vague answers about equipment
No before/after photos available
Pressure to commit immediately
Prices significantly below market (corners being cut)
Claims of guaranteed results

Long-Term Cost Considerations

PRP isn't a one-time treatment. Factor in ongoing costs:

Year 1 (Initial + Start of Maintenance):

ItemCostInitial 3-session package£1,295First maintenance session£445Year 1 Total~£1,740

Ongoing Years (Maintenance Only):

ItemCost2-4 maintenance sessions/year£890-1,780Annual maintenance range£890-1,780

5-Year Investment:

YearCostYear 1£1,740Years 2-5 (average 3 sessions/year)£5,3405-Year Total~£7,080

Compare this to:

Hair transplant: £5,000-15,000 (one-time, though touch-ups possible)
Doing nothing: Progressive hair loss (psychological and professional costs)
Wigs/hairpieces: £1,000-5,000+ annually

Is PRP Worth the Investment?

Consider:

Psychological benefits: Hair loss significantly impacts confidence and self-image. Research shows hair restoration treatments improve quality of life scores substantially.

Professional benefits: Studies indicate full hair is associated with perceptions of youth, vitality, and competence. While this shouldn't matter, it can affect professional opportunities.

Relationship benefits: Many patients report improved confidence in social and romantic situations.

Compared to alternatives: PRP offers a middle ground between doing nothing and surgery, with good efficacy, minimal risk, and no downtime.

The investment perspective: Spread over years of benefits, the daily cost of PRP treatment is modest: roughly £2-4 per day for maintained results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cost

Why is there such price variation in London?

Variation reflects differences in practitioner qualifications, equipment quality, included services, and clinic overheads. Very low prices usually indicate compromises in one or more areas.

Is expensive always better?

Not necessarily. Price should reflect genuine quality factors (qualifications, equipment, care). Some expensive clinics simply have high marketing costs. Research thoroughly regardless of price point.

Can I negotiate on price?

Legitimate medical clinics don't typically negotiate like retail purchases. However, packages offer built-in savings, and financing makes treatment accessible.

Are there any hidden costs?

At reputable clinics, no. We provide full pricing upfront with no surprises. Ask explicitly about consultation fees, blood tests, and follow-up charges.

Is PRP tax deductible?

Generally not, as it's considered cosmetic treatment. Consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.
