Question 1

How much does PRP hair treatment cost in London?

Accepted Answer

PRP hair treatment at The Wellness London starts from £395 per session. Most patients need 3-6 sessions for optimal results. We offer package pricing for multiple sessions, making ongoing treatment more affordable.

Question 2

How many PRP sessions are needed for hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Typically 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for hair loss. Maintenance sessions every 6-12 months help sustain results. Results usually become visible after 3-6 months as new hair growth occurs.

Question 3

Is PRP for hair loss effective?

Accepted Answer

Clinical studies show PRP improves hair density in 84% of patients. Results vary based on the stage of hair loss and individual response. PRP works best for early to moderate hair thinning, including male and female pattern baldness.

Question 4

Is PRP hair treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

PRP involves minimal discomfort. We use topical numbing cream before treatment. Most patients describe it as mild pressure with occasional pinching. The blood draw is similar to a standard blood test. Some tenderness may occur for 1-2 days after treatment.

Question 5

What is the difference between PRP and PRF?

Accepted Answer

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is processed without additives and at lower speeds, creating a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly over time. PRP releases growth factors more quickly. PRF is often preferred for facial treatments while PRP may be better for hair and joints.

Question 6

What is the recovery time after PRP treatment?

Accepted Answer

There is minimal downtime after PRP treatment. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites for 1-3 days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately. We advise avoiding washing hair for 24 hours and intense exercise for 48 hours.

Question 7

Who is a good candidate for PRP hair treatment?

Accepted Answer

PRP hair treatment works best for people with early to moderate hair thinning, including male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and post-pregnancy hair loss. It may be less effective for complete baldness where follicles are no longer present.

Question 8

Can I book PRP treatment without a consultation first?

Accepted Answer

We recommend an initial consultation to assess your suitability for PRP and create a personalised treatment plan. However, if you have had PRP before and know it works for you, we can often book treatment directly.

Question 9

How does PRP compare to hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

PRP is non-surgical, requires no downtime, and stimulates your existing hair follicles. Hair transplant is surgical, involves moving follicles, and has longer recovery. Many patients use PRP to strengthen hair before or after transplant, or as a non-surgical alternative.

Question 10

How long do PRP hair results last?

Accepted Answer

Results from PRP treatment typically last 12-18 months. Maintenance sessions every 6-12 months are recommended to sustain results. Hair loss is progressive, so ongoing treatment helps maintain and build on initial improvements.
