Non-surgical hair loss treatment in London
PRP Hair Treatment London
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a non-surgical hair loss treatment that uses a sample of your own blood, which is processed and then injected into selected thinning areas. PRP may be suitable for patients with early thinning, reduced density, shedding concerns, or those looking to support results after a FUE hair transplant, DHI hair transplant or FUT hair transplant.
PRP is a non-surgical treatment option for selected patients with thinning hair or reduced density.
What is PRP hair treatment?
PRP hair treatment uses platelet-rich plasma taken from your own blood. A blood sample is collected, processed in a centrifuge and separated so the plasma component can be used in selected areas affected by thinning.
PRP is not the same as a hair transplant. It does not move follicles from one area to another. Instead, it is used as a non-surgical option for selected patients who want to support hair quality, thickness and shedding control where suitable.
Who may be suitable for PRP?
PRP may be considered for:
- early-stage thinning;
- reduced hair density;
- shedding concerns;
- patients not ready for surgery;
- support after a hair transplant;
- selected male and female hair-loss patterns;
- patients wanting a non-surgical treatment plan.
PRP may not be suitable if:
- the area is completely bald with no active follicles;
- hair loss is caused by an untreated medical issue;
- there is active scalp inflammation or infection;
- expectations are unrealistic;
- a blood disorder or medical condition makes treatment unsuitable;
- surgery or medication is a more appropriate option.
A consultation should assess whether PRP, medication for hair loss, monitoring, or surgical treatment such as FUE is the right next step.
How PRP treatment works
Consultation and scalp assessment
Your hair loss pattern, shedding history, scalp health, medical history, current medication and expectations are reviewed. The clinic should explain whether PRP is suitable or whether another option is more appropriate.
Blood sample
A small blood sample is taken. PRP commonly uses a sample of your own blood before processing it in a centrifuge.
Centrifuge processing
The blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood components and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.
PRP injections
The prepared plasma is injected into the areas of thinning hair. Small needles are used, and the clinic may use numbing cream or local anaesthetic depending on the treatment plan.
Course and maintenance planning
PRP is usually planned as a course rather than a single one-off treatment. Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on response, hair loss pattern and long-term goals.
PRP vs medication vs hair transplant
PRP, medication and hair transplant surgery are different options. The right choice depends on whether the concern is thinning, shedding, recession, crown loss, donor-area strength or established baldness.
| Option | Best suited to | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| PRP | Selected patients with thinning, reduced density or post-transplant support needs. | Non-surgical, but usually needs a course and maintenance plan. |
| Medication | Patients with ongoing pattern hair loss where medical treatment is appropriate. | May help stabilise loss, but suitability and risks must be discussed properly. |
| Hair transplant | Patients with suitable donor hair and areas where follicles have already been lost. | Moves grafts from donor to recipient area; it does not stop future native hair loss. |
What can PRP help with?
Early thinning
PRP may be considered where hair is thinning but there are still active follicles in the area.
Reduced density
Some patients consider PRP to support hair quality and thickness where surgery is not yet needed.
Post-transplant support
PRP may be discussed after a hair transplant timeline review, especially where the aim is to support existing native hair.
Crown thinning
PRP may be discussed for selected crown-thinning cases before or alongside crown hair transplant planning.
Female hair thinning
PRP may be suitable for selected female thinning patterns after assessment and exclusion of medical causes.
PRP treatment course and results timeline
PRP is usually judged over months, not days. Some patients may start to notice changes after several months, but response depends on hair loss stage, consistency of treatment, scalp health and individual biology.
First session
The first treatment starts the course. The scalp may feel tender afterwards and patients should follow the clinic’s aftercare instructions.
Three-session course
For this offer, three PRP sessions are priced at £499. A course is usually more appropriate than relying on one standalone session.
Maintenance
Maintenance sessions may be discussed depending on your response, hair loss pattern and long-term treatment plan.
PRP hair treatment cost
PRP pricing at Harley Street Hair Transplants is £395 for one treatment, or £499 for three PRP sessions. The right plan should be confirmed after consultation because patients may need different treatment schedules depending on hair loss pattern and goals.
Current PRP pricing
- £395 for one treatment;
- £499 for three PRP sessions;
- consultation needed before treatment;
- maintenance may be discussed separately.

Before and after PRP results
PRP results vary between patients. Before and after examples should not be treated as a guarantee because response depends on hair loss stage, scalp health, treatment course, maintenance, medication use and whether active follicles remain.
Use results properly
Compare patients with similar thinning patterns, treatment plans and hair type. A PRP case should not be judged the same way as a surgical before and after result.
Track your progress
Take photos in the same lighting every month. PRP changes can be subtle and should be judged over a course of treatment rather than immediately after one session.
