PRP for Women’s Hair Loss in London | Costs and the Assessment That Comes First
Written and reviewed by the clinical team at The Wellness
Direct answer
At The London PRP Clinic, hair PRP is £450 per session or £1,215 for three sessions. A hair consultation is £150. The right total depends on whether PRP is appropriate, the proposed course and any separately indicated tests or follow-up. Start with an assessment of the cause of hair loss, not an assumption that you need a package.
Not all thinning is the same condition
A widening parting, increased shedding and patches of hair loss can have different causes. Pattern hair loss may coexist with another contributor. Tell the clinician when the change began, how quickly it developed and whether there are scalp symptoms, recent illness, changes in medicines or other health changes. A treatment aimed at pattern hair loss may not address a different problem.
What the consultation should clarify
Ask what diagnosis or working diagnosis supports the plan, whether further assessment is needed and which options are reasonable. The consultation should explain the evidence for PRP in your situation, its limits and alternatives. PRP is not a replacement for investigating a clinical concern. Persistent scalp inflammation, a rapid change or uncertainty about the diagnosis may need a different assessment.
Blood-test-first means relevant tests, not every test
Hair loss can have more than one contributor. The Primary Care Dermatology Society advises considering relevant blood tests; further investigation is needed when signs of androgen excess accompany women’s hair loss. Ask which test is proposed, why it matters and how its result would change care. A blood panel is not automatically required for every patient and a normal report does not diagnose every cause of hair loss.
Avoid supplements without a reason
Bring any supplements and medicines you already take. Ask the clinician to review them alongside any test results. Do not assume that more vitamins or iron will help, or that a procedure corrects a nutritional or hormonal problem. The useful question is whether there is a specific finding that needs treatment and how the clinician will monitor it.
What research can and cannot promise
Published reviews describe encouraging PRP findings for female pattern hair loss, but study size, preparation and treatment schedules vary. The British Association of Dermatologists says research remains too limited to know clearly when and how PRP works. These uncertainties should be part of consent. There is no single course that can guarantee a result for every woman.
Ask for an itemised total
Use the £450 session, £1,215 three-session course and £150 consultation figures as starting points for the quoted plan. Ask whether consultation is separate, whether any tests are needed and charged separately, and what review or further appointments cost. Do not assume a consultation credit, blood panel or maintenance treatment is included unless confirmed in writing. Choose the plan on clinical fit, not a headline saving.
Agree how to decide what happens next
Before treatment, agree the starting photographs and the review point. At review, discuss visible change, any available measurements, side effects and whether the goal has been met. A smaller change should prompt a review of the plan, not an automatic sale of more sessions. Ask about alternatives and the reasons for continuing, changing or pausing treatment.
Frequently asked questions
What does a three-session hair PRP course cost?
The current rate-card price is £1,215. Confirm the exact plan and any separate consultation, test or follow-up charges before booking.
Does every woman need a blood panel before PRP?
No. Tests should be selected for the clinical assessment and have a reason that could change care.
Can PRP guarantee regrowth for women?
No. Evidence and individual response vary. The clinician should explain the uncertainties and alternatives before treatment.
