What is (Platelet-Rich-Plasma) PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an innovative, non-surgical treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing properties to stimulate hair growth and promote tissue regeneration. The procedure begins with drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components of your blood.
This plasma is rich in growth factors and bioactive proteins that play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. Once processed, the concentrated plasma is carefully re-injected into the scalp, specifically targeting areas with thinning or lost hair.
The growth factors in the PRP stimulate the hair follicles, promoting natural hair growth and improving hair density. This treatment has shown positive results, especially for those suffering from androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in both men and women.

PRP Treatment for Hair Loss
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for hair loss is an advanced treatment that utilises a biological product derived from your own blood. The platelet-rich plasma contains vital growth factors such as TGF-beta, PDGF-AB, bFGF, IGF, VEGF, and EGF, along with bioactive proteins, nutrients, vitamins, hormones, and electrolytes, all of which help speed up tissue repair and regeneration.
The procedure involves separating the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood, removing components like red blood cells and leucocytes that could inhibit the healing process. The PRP is then carefully re-injected into the scalp, where it stimulates hair follicles, promoting hair growth, increasing hair density, and reducing hair loss.
Patients typically begin to notice improvements within 90 days, with hair growth continuing to improve over the next 6 months. PRP can be effectively combined with other hair loss treatments, such as topical or oral minoxidil, oral finasteride, hair transplants, and supplementation with Viviscal Professional, to enhance results.
Causes of Hair Loss in Men and Women
Hair loss is a common concern affecting both men and women. The causes can vary widely, ranging from genetics to lifestyle factors. Below are some of the most prevalent reasons for hair thinning and loss:
Genetic Factors (Androgenetic Alopecia)
Commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, this hereditary condition causes hair thinning and bald spots in men, and thinning around the crown in women.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations from pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid imbalances can lead to hair loss. Conditions like PCOS also contribute to hormonal-related thinning.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Lack of nutrients like iron, vitamin D, biotin, and zinc can cause hair thinning. A balanced diet is essential for maintaining hair health.
Stress and Anxiety
Stress can trigger telogen effluvium, causing widespread hair shedding. Once stress is managed, hair often regrows.
Medical Conditions
Conditions such as thyroid disorders, alopecia areata, scalp infections, and chronic illnesses like lupus or diabetes can contribute to hair loss.
Medications and Treatments
Certain medications, including chemotherapy and those for blood pressure or depression, may cause temporary hair loss.
Poor Hair Care Practices
Excessive heat styling, harsh chemicals, and tight hairstyles can weaken hair and lead to thinning or breakage.
Ageing
As we age, hair growth slows down, and follicles shrink, leading to thinner hair and slower regeneration.
PRP Treatment for Hair Loss Treatment Procedure
At Hampstead Aesthetics, we are proud to offer PRP treatment for Hair Loss as an effective, non-surgical solution. The process begins with an initial consultation where we take the time to understand your concerns, medical history, and goals.
Our experienced practitioners will assess the condition of your scalp and hair, and together, we will discuss the most appropriate treatment plan to address your needs.
- Blood Collection
To begin, we will take a small sample of your blood (approximately 10-20ml), which is a quick and straightforward process, similar to a regular blood test. The blood is collected in a sterile environment to ensure safety and hygiene.
- PRP Separation
Once collected, the blood sample is processed in a centrifuge. This machine spins the blood rapidly to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other components, such as red blood cells and plasma. This process typically takes 10-15 minutes. The resulting PRP is rich in growth factors and bioactive proteins that are essential for tissue regeneration and hair follicle stimulation.
- Numbing the Scalp
To ensure that you are as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment, we apply a topical numbing cream to the scalp. After about 15-20 minutes, this will numb the areas to be treated, minimising any discomfort during the injections.
- PRP Injection
The prepared PRP is then injected into the scalp using fine needles. These injections are targeted at areas of hair thinning or hair loss. The growth factors in the PRP stimulate the hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and improving the health and density of existing hair. The treatment typically lasts between 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
- Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, you may notice some mild redness or swelling in the treated areas. This is completely normal and usually resolves within a few hours to a day. There is no downtime, and you can return to your regular activities straight away. We recommend avoiding excessive sun exposure, vigorous exercise, or scalp massages for the first 24 to 48 hours to ensure the best possible results.
Before And After PRP Treatment For Hair Loss
The results of PRP hair loss treatment by Hampstead Aesthetics generally begin to show within 3 months. You will notice improved hair thickness and density, with finer hairs gradually thickening and stronger growth emerging.
Collagen production continues to enhance hair follicles, contributing to long-term improvements in hair health and growth. Full results typically become visible after 6 months, with some clients seeing continued benefits up to 12 months post-treatment.

FAQs About PRP Treatment for Hair Loss
- Is PRP treatment for hair loss safe?
Yes, PRP for hair loss is a safe procedure. Since the plasma is derived from the patient’s own blood (autologous), the risk of infection or adverse reactions is minimal.
The treatment is performed in a sterile, closed-circuit environment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
- What aftercare is required for PRP for hair loss?
After your PRP treatment, we recommend avoiding washing your hair or scalp for 24 hours to allow the treated areas to settle. While most patients do not experience significant pain, any discomfort can typically be alleviated with paracetamol.
You should also avoid sun exposure or vigorous activities for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment to allow for optimal healing.
What is the cost of PRP for hair loss?
The cost of PRP treatment for hair loss is £475 per session, or £1,275 for a set of 3 sessions. These prices are for in-clinic treatment and include your consultation and follow-up assessments.
Please note that PRP treatment for hair loss is not covered by private health insurance.
Is there any preparation needed before having PRP for hair loss?
Before your PRP treatment, we ask that you avoid washing your hair on the day of the procedure to ensure the scalp is free from products and natural oils that could interfere with the treatment.
During your consultation, we will provide detailed instructions tailored to your needs.
When will I start seeing results?
Results from PRP for hair loss typically begin to show within 3 to 6 months, with noticeable improvements in hair growth, density, and strength.
For best results, a series of treatments may be required, followed by maintenance sessions to sustain the results.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients find the PRP treatment to be mildly uncomfortable but tolerable. A numbing cream is applied to the scalp to minimise discomfort.
The treatment is quick, with minimal downtime, and patients can resume their normal activities soon after.
