PRP Treatment for Hair Loss

at Omniya Clinic in London

Rediscover fuller, stronger-looking hair with platelet-rich plasma therapy.

PRP hair restoration at Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge offers a natural, medically proven approach to thinning hair using your own biology. This non-surgical hair loss treatment concentrates your blood’s healing platelets and growth factors, which are then re-introduced into the scalp to stimulate follicles, support regrowth and restore vitality. Each treatment is performed in our doctor-led, CQC-registered medical clinic in the heart of London, near South Kensington and Chelsea.

Whether you’re noticing early thinning, diffuse shedding, or loss of volume through the crown, PRP helps improve scalp health and extend the growth phase of existing hair follicles – giving gradual yet visible improvement in density and confidence.

From £400 per session

What Is PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medical procedure that uses your own blood to encourage tissue repair and follicle renewal. A small sample of blood is taken, spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from red cells, and the resulting concentrate is injected into targeted areas of the scalp.

This concentrate is rich in platelets: cells containing growth factors responsible for healing injuries and promoting new cell formation. When introduced into the scalp, PRP stimulates micro-circulation, increases oxygen and nutrient supply, and activates dormant follicles. Over several months, patients often notice stronger strands, reduced shedding, and healthier-feeling hair.

Because it uses your own plasma, PRP is entirely biocompatible. It can be used as a standalone option or as part of a wider hair restoration plan combining medical and regenerative therapies.

The Science Behind PRP

PRP has been used in medicine for more than three decades – from orthopaedics to wound healing – and now plays a key role in aesthetic medicine for both skin and hair rejuvenation. The concentrated platelets release bioactive proteins known as growth factors that orchestrate tissue repair, collagen production, and angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels).

Key Growth Factors in PRP Include:

  • PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor): Encourages cellular growth and tissue repair, vital for stimulating hair follicles.
  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): Promotes micro-circulation and improves blood supply to nourish follicles.
  • TGF (Transforming Growth Factor): Helps regulate cell proliferation and collagen synthesis within the scalp.
  • EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): Aids keratinocyte and fibroblast activity, promoting healthier scalp tissue.

 

By leveraging these naturally occurring healing messengers, PRP extends the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle and enhances the overall condition of the scalp. Research published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery and Dermatologic Surgery has shown consistent improvement in hair density, shaft thickness, and follicle vitality following PRP treatment courses.

Who PRP Hair Restoration Is For

PRP is suitable for women and men experiencing early-to-moderate hair thinning or shedding. It’s particularly effective where follicles remain viable, and for those who wish to stimulate regrowth naturally rather than through surgical transplantation.

Ideal Candidates

  • Individuals with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss) in its earlier stages.
  • Patients experiencing post-stress, postpartum, or post-illness shedding once medically stable.
  • Clients noticing thinner ponytails, wider partings, or increased hair shedding on the pillow or in the shower.
  • Those seeking a non-invasive, natural solution with little to no downtime.

 

Who May Need a Combined or Alternative Plan

  • Advanced baldness or areas lacking active follicles (limited response potential).
  • Uncontrolled inflammatory scalp conditions such as psoriasis or folliculitis (must be treated first).
  • Patients taking blood-thinning medication or with certain clotting disorders (assessed at consultation).

 

During your assessment, our clinicians may suggest combining PRP with polynucleotide scalp bio-regeneration, HydraFacial Keravive, or medical therapy based on your Fagron TrichoTest results to create a fully individualised plan.

How PRP Hair Treatment Works

1. Consultation and Diagnosis

Each journey begins with a comprehensive review of your scalp health, lifestyle, hormones, and genetics. Where appropriate, diagnostic blood tests or genetic analysis may be recommended to identify the root causes of thinning. Photography is used to document your baseline and track progress accurately.

2. Blood Draw and PRP Preparation

A small blood sample (typically 10–20 ml) is collected and processed in a medical-grade centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma from red and white blood cells. This concentration process increases platelet levels by up to fivefold, maximising growth-factor potency.

3. Targeted Micro-Injections

The PRP is then delivered via a series of fine, superficial injections across thinning or receding areas of the scalp. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or warmth. The entire procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes, and no anaesthetic is typically required, though numbing can be used for comfort.

4. Aftercare and Recovery

You can return to work the same day. Expect slight redness, tightness or sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, or sauna/steam exposure for the first 24 hours, and wash hair gently the next morning. Results are monitored at review appointments with photo-tracking to assess growth patterns and adjust treatment timing.

PRP Hair Treatment FAQs

Is PRP used in alternative medicine too?

While PRP therapy is widely known for its applications in dermatology and cosmetic surgery, particularly for hair loss treatment and skin rejuvenation, its regenerative properties are also utilised in orthopedics to treat injuries and in other medical fields to accelerate healing.

The efficacy of PRP therapy is attributed to its ability to concentrate the body’s natural healing mechanisms and apply them precisely where needed, stimulating the repair and regeneration processes without the need for surgical intervention. The science behind PRP therapy is a testament to the potential of leveraging innate biological mechanisms for therapeutic purposes.

How effective is PRP for hair loss?

Research and clinical studies have shown PRP’s effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (common form of hair loss). Studies show a notable increase in hair density and thickness post-PRP treatments, with many patients experiencing significant improvement within three to six months.

A systematic review and meta-analysis covering thirty studies and 687 patients found that PRP treatments significantly increase hair density and hair thickness, with twenty-nine studies reporting beneficial results and twenty-four reaching statistical significance. PRP is considered an autologous treatment, meaning it utilises the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of serious adverse effects.

How does PRP compare with alternative treatments?

 

The optimum interventions for alopecia/hair loss are dependent upon the etiology and severity of the patient’s condition. Pharmacotherapies and medical alternatives, such as minoxidil and finasteride are widely used, and have their place for hair loss treatments. They are deemed to slow hair loss and stimulate hair growth. Surgical options, such as hair transplant surgery, offer more permanent solutions, but naturally come with the risks and down time of all surgical intervention. PRP offers a natural and minimally invasive option, with fewer side effects reported. It stands out for its ability to enhance hair thickness and health, offering a complementary approach to traditional treatments.

How have other patients reported back about their experience with PRP?

Testimonials and case studies from UK patients highlight positive results, with many reporting a halt in hair loss, noticeable regrowth, thickness and overall scalp health.

Further, patients appreciate the minimally invasive nature of PRP therapy compared to surgical options, as well as its utilisation of the body’s natural healing mechanisms, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.

The safety profiles remain excellent, with minimal discomfort (with topical anaesthetic an option to reduce the pain), side effects and downtime.

What can I expect from PRP treatments?

Reduction in hair loss is noticeable within 8 weeks.
Complete hair re-growth is seen 3-6 months after the last treatment.

Are there possible side effects of PRP?

You may experience minimal swelling or redness for up to 24 hours.

How long do results last for PRP?

Treatment results vary, however, in most patients the results last up to 24 months. Touch-up treatments (every 3-6 months) will maintain the results.

Who will perform my PRP treatment?

One of our qualified and experienced doctors or nurses perform PRP in our London Clinic.

What is the PRP Therapy Process for Hair Restoration?

Step 1: Tailored Consultation

Your treatment journey begins with an in-depth consultation to assess your hair concerns, outlining a treatment plan that best suits your needs.

Step 2: Blood Collection

A minimal amount of blood is drawn, mirroring a standard blood test, to harness the healing components within.

Step 3: Platelet Concentration

The blood is then processed to enrich the plasma with platelets, amplifying the natural regenerative agents crucial for hair restoration.

Step 4: Strategic Re-injection

This concentrated plasma is carefully reintroduced to the scalp, targeting areas of hair thinning or loss to stimulate growth and repair.

Who is suitable for the treatment?

You will be invited for an in-depth consultation to assess your skin, concerns and goals from the treatment. We only want you to have a treatment if you will benefit from the results, and so the initial consultation is imperative to ensure your satisfaction and suitability.

Do you offer other treatments aside from PRP in London?

Yes, absolutely, we offer other treatments, including PRP in our London Clinic. Omniya was created with the core focus on improving your internal and external health and wellbeing, and for this reason, we offer a range of treatments from hormonal therapies, to medical cosmetic and restoration treatments and procedures.
