Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

• Non-Surgical & Natural: Uses your own blood components, eliminating the risk of side effects and allergic reactions.
• Clinically Proven: Supported by scientific studies showing improved hair thickness and density.
• Minimally Invasive with no Downtime
• Versatile Application: Effective for androgenic alopecia, hair thinning due to stress, hormonal imbalances, aging or elogen effluvium which occurs in conditions we see commonly post Nataly or iron deficiency anaemia and stress.
• Individuals with androgenetic alopecia who underwent PRP therapy experienced improved hair counts, hair thickness, and scalp health.
• Hair density can increase significantly, with results peaking around three months after treatment.

PRP therapy can help treat various types of hair loss, including:

Androgenetic Alopecia (Male & Female Pattern Baldness)

PRP therapy is highly effective for androgenetic alopecia, a hereditary condition that causes progressive hair thinning. Studies show that PRP improves hair density and patient satisfaction, particularly for female pattern baldness post-menopause.

Alopecia Areata

PRP therapy has shown positive results for alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that leads to hair loss. Studies indicate that PRP improves hair density and reduces symptoms such as scalp irritation.

Hair Transplant Recovery

PRP injections can accelerate healing and enhance hair regrowth after a hair transplant. Research shows that PRP-treated patients experience faster recovery times and improved hair density compared to those who do not receive PRP.

PRP therapy offers several advantages, including:

• Improved Hair Growth: Encourages faster and thicker hair regrowth in thinning areas.
• Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive: Uses your own blood components, eliminating the risk of side effects and allergic reactions.
• Hair density can increase significantly, with results peaking around three months after treatment.
• Enhanced Hair Quality: Increases hair strength and thickness.
• Natural Regrowth: Uses the body's own platelets without synthetic medications.
• No Side Effects: PRP is derived from your own blood.
• Quick Recovery: No downtime required; patients can resume normal activities immediately.
• Clinically Proven: Supported by scientific studies showing improved hair strength and thickness.
• Versatile Application: Effective for androgenic alopecia, hair thinning due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or aging.
• Individuals with androgenetic alopecia who underwent PRP therapy experienced improved hair counts, hair thickness, and scalp health.

The cost of PRP therapy in the UK varies depending on location and clinic. At HHC Clinic, PRP treatment prices start from approximately £295 per session, with package deals available for multiple treatments.

PRP is ideal for individuals experiencing:

• Early-stage hair thinning or mild to moderate hair loss
• Androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness)
• Hair loss caused by stress, hormonal imbalances, postpartum, menopause or aging
• Those seeking a natural, non-surgical alternative to hair restoration
• Post Hair Transplant patients to maximise results and maintain existing non-transplanted hair

We would encourage you to get in touch with HHC clinics for a complete and accurate assessment that is individual to your needs and goals.

PRP therapy can be used as an independent treatment for individuals not suited for hair transplants, but it can also be used in conjunction with hair transplants and other treatments to enhance healing and promote hair regrowth post-surgery. PRP is often used as a maintenance treatment to slow down hair loss and extend the hair growth cycle.

PRP Benefits Post Hair Transplant

PRP therapy is an excellent post-hair transplant treatment to support recovery and maximise hair growth outcomes. Benefits include:

• Faster Healing: PRP accelerates the healing process, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort after a transplant.
• Improved Graft Survival: The growth factors in PRP help transplanted hair follicles establish a strong blood supply, increasing their survival rate.
• Enhanced Hair Growth: PRP stimulates the newly transplanted follicles, promoting thicker and healthier hair growth.
• Reduced Shock Loss: PRP can help minimise post-transplant shedding, ensuring a smoother transition to full hair restoration.
• Stronger, Healthier Scalp: PRP nourishes the scalp, improving overall hair and skin health, creating an optimal environment for long-term hair regrowth.

Combining PRP with, Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Low-Level Laser Therapy and Microneedling

HHC clinic is at the forefront of combining PRP with other proven hair loss treatments to enhance results and provide a more comprehensive approach to hair restoration.

• PRP + Minoxidil: Minoxidil is a topical solution that extends the growth phase of hair follicles. When combined with PRP, it can improve follicular response and accelerate visible hair regrowth. Studies indicate that combining PRP with Minoxidil can lead to an 85% improvement in hair density.
• PRP + Finasteride: Finasteride is an oral medication that blocks DHT, a hormone responsible for hair loss. When used alongside PRP, it helps maintain hair density while PRP stimulates new growth. Research suggests that the combination increases hair regrowth efficacy to 80-90% compared to using Finasteride alone.
• PRP + Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): LLLT stimulates cellular activity in hair follicles using red light wavelengths. When combined with PRP, it enhances follicle stimulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes stronger, thicker hair regrowth. Clinical trials have shown that PRP combined with LLLT can improve hair thickness and growth by 75-85%.
• PRP + Microneedling: Microneedling creates micro-injuries on the scalp that enhance the absorption of PRP and stimulate deeper follicular activation. When used together, PRP and microneedling can improve hair regrowth by 85-90%.

HHC Clinic specialises in advanced PRP therapy for hair restoration. Our experienced clinicians provide personalised treatments to help clients achieve optimal hair regrowth. Whether you are experiencing early signs of thinning hair or more extensive hair loss, our team will work with you to create a customised treatment plan.

If you’re experiencing hair shedding, whether it’s the first signs of thinning and balding or more extensive hair loss, it’s worth consulting one of our hair specialists to find out if PRP is right for you. Our process is centred around you, here is what you can expect:

1. Consultation: A hair loss specialist evaluates your scalp and determines if PRP is suitable for you.
2. Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
3. Centrifuge Processing: The blood sample is placed in a clinical centrifuge, where it is spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
4. Precise Injections: Using a fine needle, PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp following a pre-mapped pattern to maximise effectiveness.
5. Post-Treatment Care: There is little to no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately.

You can be assured that our expert clinicians are highly experienced in delivering PRP hair treatment. To get started, book a consultation at one of our clinic locations. Our team will work with you to create an individualised treatment plan to restore your hair.

For optimal results, a series of 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. To maintain results, follow-up treatments every 4-12 months may be advised.

The effects of PRP hair treatment can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on individual response and hair loss progression. Regular maintenance sessions help prolong results.

In the UK, PRP hair treatment costs between £200 and £800 per session, with most clinics charging around £250 to £550.

PRP therapy stimulates hair follicles using growth factors derived from your own blood. This encourages hair regrowth, increases hair thickness, and helps slow down hair thinning, making it a popular non-surgical treatment for hair loss.
