PRP Scalp Treatment
PRP scalp treatment involves injecting concentrated growth factors from your own blood into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, reduce thinning, and promote thicker, healthier hair growth. The London PRP Clinic offers doctor-led scalp PRP from £545 per session.
How PRP Scalp Treatment Works
The Science:
Your scalp contains thousands of hair follicles, many of which become dormant or weakened due to age, genetics, hormones, or other factors. PRP delivers:
Growth factors that reactivate dormant follicles
Proteins that strengthen existing hair
Cytokines that reduce inflammation
Healing factors that improve scalp health
The Result:
Thicker individual hairs
More hairs in growth phase
Reduced shedding
Healthier scalp environment
Improved overall density
Who Benefits from Scalp PRP

Thinning hair (not complete baldness)
Male pattern baldness (Norwood 2-4)

Treatment Areas
PRP can be targeted to specific areas or cover the entire scalp:
Crown/Vertex
Most common area for male thinning. PRP focuses on this high-impact zone.
Hairline
Receding hairline treatment to strengthen remaining follicles.
Temple Area
Often neglected but responds well to PRP.
Diffuse Thinning (Whole Scalp)
For overall thinning, entire scalp is treated.
Specific Patches
Alopecia areata patches can be targeted.
