Platelet-rich plasma moved into mainstream orthopaedic and sports medicine use because it does something genuinely useful for a specific category of injury: it delivers a concentrated dose of your own growth factors directly to a tendon, ligament or joint that has stalled in its healing rather than progressing, and gives it a fresh stimulus to repair.

‍Platelet-rich plasma has gone from a niche sports medicine treatment to one of the most requested non-surgical options for hair thinning, and for good reason when it is done properly: a concentrated dose of your own growth factors, drawn from your own blood and injected directly into the scalp, genuinely stimulates dormant follicles in a way most topical treatments cannot match.

Hard water is a real problem for hair, and it is a problem of the fibre rather than the follicle. If your hair is coming out at the root, the water is not your problem.

Rapid weight loss on Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro can leave the face hollow and aged. A doctor-led, natural approach to restoring facial volume in London. The London PRP Clinic by The Wellness, Marylebone.

Jowls form from collagen loss and descending tissue. The non-surgical treatments that genuinely help, and their honest limits. The London PRP Clinic by The Wellness, Marylebone.

Alopecia areata is frequently confused with the gradual, pattern-based thinning most people associate with hair loss, but it is a genuinely different condition, the immune system mistakenly attacking hair follicles, and it needs a different diagnosis, a different conversation about evidence and a different treatment plan to androgenetic hair loss.

Testosterone replacement therapy does not cause male pattern hair loss, but it can accelerate and unmask it in men who are genetically susceptible, because more testosterone means more of it converted to DHT at the follicle. The usual medical answer is a DHT blocker, which many men on TRT do not want. That leaves a hormone-free route, and it is worth understanding before you start rather than after.

Stress-related hair shedding is usually temporary telogen effluvium that recovers. A doctor-led, diagnostic-first guide for London. The London PRP Clinic by The Wellness, Marylebone.

PCOS-related hair thinning is driven by androgens and, in many women, insulin resistance, which means treating the scalp alone will not fix it. The thinning follows the female pattern, widening at the parting with the hairline preserved, and it responds best when the hormonal and metabolic drivers are addressed alongside direct follicle treatment. That requires blood tests, not a scalp product.

A hair transplant in Turkey costs roughly £1,490 to £3,400 against £5,000 to £17,000 in the UK, and good Turkish clinics produce excellent results. The risk sits at the budget end, where an ISHRS audit found 77 percent of investigated black-market facilities used unlicensed technicians with no licensed surgeon present. Before price, though, three clinical questions decide whether you should have surgery at all.

A lip flip uses a few units of Botox to gently roll the upper lip outward, for a subtle fuller look without filler. Doctor-led. The London PRP Clinic by The Wellness, Marylebone.

Frozen shoulder, medically called adhesive capsulitis, is often confused with rotator cuff tendinopathy because both cause shoulder pain, but they are entirely different conditions with different treatment and a different natural course, and getting the diagnosis right changes everything about what happens next.

Botox is NICE-recommended for chronic migraine, 155 to 195 units every 12 weeks, with 30 to 50 percent fewer headache days after two cycles. A doctor-led guide. The London PRP Clinic by The Wellness.

PRP works well for some conditions, moderately for others and not reliably for a few, and clinics rarely make that distinction. The evidence is strong for pattern hair loss and tennis elbow, good for plantar fasciitis and patellar tendinopathy, mixed for Achilles tendinopathy and hip osteoarthritis, and contested for knee osteoarthritis. This page maps all of it, including the parts that do not help us.

Patellar tendinopathy, widely known as jumper's knee, is one of the most common overuse injuries in sports involving jumping and rapid changes of direction, and it is also one of the most frequently mismanaged, because the instinct to rest completely is often the wrong one and the pain can persist for months or years in athletes who never receive a structured loading programme.

Rosemary oil has one genuine randomised trial behind it. In 2015, Panahi and colleagues randomised 100 people with pattern hair loss to rosemary oil or minoxidil 2 percent for six months and found comparable increases in hair count, with less scalp itching in the rosemary group.

Melasma is one of the most misunderstood pigmentation problems people bring to a clinic, largely because it is repeatedly treated the same way as ordinary sun damage when the two are driven by different mechanisms and respond to different things.
