PRP Hair Regeneration at PureSkin London – Natural Hair Revival
Thinning hair can be a frustrating and emotional experience, but at PureSkin London we offer a natural, clinically-proven solution to help restore your hair’s fullness. PRP Hair Regeneration harnesses the healing power of your own blood to stimulate hair growth – a cutting-edge therapy that’s drug-free and highly effective for both men and women. Our central London clinic (11 Welbeck Street) is proud to provide this advanced Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment, administered by experienced medical professionals in a safe, comfortable environment. The result? Thicker, healthier hair and renewed confidence in your appearance.
How PRP Stimulates Hair Growth
When concentrated PRP is injected into the scalp, it acts like a fertilizer for your hair follicles. The platelets release a variety of growth factors (such as PDGF, VEGF, IGF, and FGF) that rejuvenate weak or miniaturized hair follicles. Here’s what happens in your scalp after PRP injections:
Follicle Reactivation
The growth factors signal shrunken or dormant hair follicles to enter the active growth phase (anagen) and start producing hair strands againprp-london.com. This is crucial for areas where hairs had stopped growing.
Improved Blood Supply
PRP promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) around hair folliclesprp-london.com. Better circulation means follicles get more oxygen and nutrients, creating a healthier environment for hair to thrive.
Inflammation Reduction
Hair loss can be exacerbated by inflammation around the follicles. PRP’s components have anti-inflammatory effects that soothe the scalp and reduce follicle damage.
Collagen & Cell Growth
The treatment stimulates collagen production and cell proliferation in the scalp tissueprp-london.com. Over time, this strengthens the hair shafts and improves scalp quality (which can also help with conditions like hair thinning due to aging).
Multiple studies and reviews have validated PRP’s effects: A 2020 review of 13 studies found PRP increased hair thickness and density significantly, and a 2018 study showed PRP triggers hair growth by boosting follicle blood supplyhealthline.com. In short, PRP provides a powerful regenerative boost that helps your hair in several complementary ways.
Treatment Process: What to Expect
Consultation
Every PRP journey at PureSkin begins with a thorough consultation and scalp analysis. We’ll examine your pattern of hair loss, discuss your medical history (to ensure you’re a good candidate), and set clear expectations. PRP works best when some hair follicles are still present, so we want to confirm that it’s the right approach for you. This is a great time to ask questions – our specialists will explain how PRP can specifically address your hair concerns.
Blood Draw
On the day of treatment, you’ll settle into our treatment chair, and a clinician will draw a small sample of your blood (approximately 15–30ml, about one small vial). This is very much like a routine blood test and only takes a minute. Our patients report little to no discomfort during this step.
PRP Preparation
The vial of blood is then placed into a centrifuge, a machine that spins at high speed. This process separates the blood into layers. After ~10 minutes of spinning, we extract the top layer – the platelet-rich plasma, which is now concentrated with growth factorshealthline.comhealthline.com. The PRP is prepared in a syringe for injection. (At PureSkin, we use state-of-the-art PRP systems to ensure high platelet concentration, since studies indicate higher platelet counts yield better hair growth results.
Scalp Numbing (if needed)
We cleanse the target areas of your scalp thoroughly. Many clients find PRP injections quite tolerable, describing them as quick pinches. However, we can apply a numbing topical anesthetic or use very fine insulin-sized needles to make the process as comfortable as possible. Your comfort is our priority.
PRP Injections
Our expert performs a series of precise injections across the areas of thinning hair. The injections are placed approximately at 1cm intervals, directly into the scalp skin where they can deliver growth factors to the hair roots. The procedure typically takes around 10-15 minutes for the injections. We use meticulous technique to ensure even coverage and optimal depth – delivering the PRP right to the hair follicle level. Because we’re using your own plasma, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection; it’s a very safe procedurelondonhairlossclinic.com.
Post-Treatment
After the injections, there’s no significant recovery time needed. You might have some mild scalp redness, pinpoint bleeding at injection sites, or minor soreness – but these are temporary and often resolve within hours. We advise avoiding heavy sweating (gym, sauna) or washing your hair for the rest of the day just to keep the injection sites clean. By the next day, you can resume your normal hair care routine. There’s minimal downtime – many people go back to work or daily activities immediately after their PRP session.
Course of Treatment
For best results, PRP for hair is done as a series of sessions. Typically, we recommend 3 initial treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apartlondonhairlossclinic.com. This schedule aligns with the hair growth cycle and allows each round of PRP to build on the last. After completing this initial series, we’ll evaluate your progress. Many clients opt for maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months to sustain their improved hair density. Every individual is different – our team will craft a treatment plan tailored to your hair’s needs.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for PRP?
PRP hair regeneration is suitable for a wide range of individuals experiencing hair loss. If you are noticing gradual thinning, a declining hairline, or bald spots that still have some fine hairs, PRP could be highly beneficial. It works best for those in the early or middle stages of hair loss – when hair follicles are shrinking but not completely gone. Both men and women with androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) respond well to PRP, as do people with generalized thinning or diffuse hair loss from stress, hormonal changes, or traction alopecia.
Younger patients (in their 20s-40s) often have robust results since they typically have many hair follicles that are thinning but still present. That said, we have seen success in older patients too, as long as some follicular activity remains. PRP is also a great choice if you prefer a natural approach or have concerns about taking medication (for example, if you experienced side effects from hair loss drugs or can’t use them).
It’s important to have realistic expectations: if an area is completely bald and smooth (no hairs at all for years), PRP might have limited impact there – a hair transplant could be the only option in such cases. However, even in transplant patients, we use PRP to strengthen surrounding thinning hairs and improve overall density. During your consult, our specialist will examine your scalp to ensure there are viable follicles that can respond to treatment. We’ll be honest about the likely outcome and whether PRP alone is sufficient or if a combination approach would serve you better.
Generally, PRP is very safe for most people. We do not recommend PRP if you have certain medical conditions like platelet or blood disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, active scalp infections, or if you are on blood thinners that could increase bleeding risk. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are usually advised to postpone PRP. Our medical team will review your health history to confirm you can proceed with PRP safely.
Benefits of PRP Hair Regeneration
Natural & Drug-Free: PRP uses your body’s own growth factors, without any drugs or chemicals. This means no systemic side effects and no daily medications – just harnessing what’s already in your blood to stimulate hair growth.
Effective for Thinning Hair: Clinical evidence and our own patient results show PRP can increase hair count, thickness, and strength. It is particularly effective for hereditary hair thinning (male or female pattern baldness) and has even helped in certain cases of alopecia areata and telogen effluvium. Many patients see visible improvement in fullness within 3-6 months of treatment.
Safe and Low Risk: Since PRP is autologous, there’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The procedure is done with sterile technique and the most you might experience is mild, short-lived inflammation at injection sites. There’s no general anesthesia or surgical risk involved.
Minimal Downtime: A PRP session is quick (often under an hour) and requires little to no downtime. You can go about your day immediately afterward with only minor precautions. This makes PRP easy to fit into a busy schedule, even on a lunch break.
Long-Lasting Results: Unlike surface treatments that you must apply daily (like topical solutions), PRP stimulates lasting changes in your follicles. After a completed course, many clients enjoy fuller hair for a year or more. Occasional maintenance can prolong the benefits further. It’s an investment in your hair’s long-term health.
Can Complement Other Treatments: PRP plays well with others. You can combine PRP with microneedling (to help the plasma absorb) or with a hair transplant (to improve graft survival and native hair growth). At PureSkin, we also offer Exosome therapy, and in some cases we might suggest a PRP + Exosome combination for an even more powerful regenerative boost. We will guide you on the best approach for maximal results.

FAQs: PRP Hair Regeneration
Does PRP actually regrow hair?
Yes, PRP therapy can regrow hair for many individuals by reactivating and strengthening shrunken hair follicles. It’s not a miracle overnight cure, but extensive research and clinical use have shown PRP to be highly effective in stimulating natural hair growth. Reviews of clinical studies have found significant improvements in hair thickness and density after PRP treatments. In our practice, patients often observe a noticeable reduction in shedding within a month or two, followed by new hair growth emerging in thinning areas over the next few months. PRP essentially gives your follicles the “boost” they need to produce hair again – so while results vary from person to person, the majority of our PRP clients see positive regrowth and fuller hair.
How long do the results last, and will I need repeat treatments?
PRP results are long-lasting but not completely permanent. After your initial series of treatments, the rejuvenated follicles will continue to grow hair as part of their natural cycle. Many patients enjoy thicker hair for a year or more after completing 3 sessions. However, hair loss can be progressive (especially in genetic cases), so maintenance is important. We typically recommend a maintenance PRP session every 6–12 months to keep the growth factors active in your scalp and preserve your results. Think of it like servicing your car – occasional upkeep ensures everything stays in peak condition. Without maintenance, it’s possible that over time some follicles could gradually miniaturize again. The good news is each maintenance treatment is a quick “refresh” to sustain your improved hair density. We will customize a follow-up schedule for you. Some clients do one booster a year; others, especially those with more aggressive hair loss tendencies, might do two or three per year. With the right plan, you can maintain your fuller hair indefinitely.
Is there anything I should combine with PRP for better results?
PRP on its own is very effective, but combining it with other therapies can sometimes yield enhanced results. One popular combination is PRP + Microneedling – we perform microneedling on the scalp and then apply PRP, allowing the growth factors to seep in through the micro-channels. This can improve absorption. Another exciting option is PRP + Exosomes, where lab-derived growth factor vesicles (exosomes) are administered alongside PRP for a double boost in follicle stimulation. In fact, exosome therapy contains an even higher concentration of regenerative signals and has shown promise in hair restoration. During your consultation, our experts will evaluate your condition and may recommend adding microneedling or exosomes to your PRP treatment plan for optimal outcomes. We may also discuss lifestyle and at-home scalp care (like using a dermaroller or specialized topical products between sessions) to support your results. Our goal is to ensure you get the maximum hair regrowth benefit from your treatment program.
