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 Ideal Candidates: Thinning hair (not complete baldness) Male pattern baldness (Norwood 2-4) Female pattern hair loss (Ludwig 1-2) Hair loss from stress or illness Post-pregnancy hair shedding Those wanting to maintain existing hair Pre or post hair transplant patients Less Suitable: Complete baldness (no follicles to stimulate) Scarring alopecia Active scalp infections Blood disorders Treatment Areas PRP can be targeted to specific areas or cover the entire scalp: Crown/Vertex Most common area for male thinning.
