PRP Therapy for Beard Growth

Struggling with a patchy or thin beard? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy offers a natural, effective solution to stimulate hair follicles in the beard area, promoting thicker, denser, and more even growth. At PRP London Clinic, our medical team uses your body's own potent growth factors, concentrated from your blood, to revitalize follicles and enhance your beard's appearance.

Learn how this minimally invasive treatment can help you achieve the fuller beard you desire.

Similar to its effects on the scalp, injecting PRP into the beard area delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the hair follicles. This targeted stimulation aims to:

• Activate Dormant Follicles: Encourage inactive follicles within patchy areas to enter the growth phase.
• Thicken Existing Hairs: Promote healthier, thicker individual beard hairs.
• Improve Blood Supply: Enhance circulation around the follicles for better nutrient delivery.
• Support Growth Cycles: Help follicles sustain the active growth phase for longer periods.
• Create Healthier Skin: Improve the underlying skin condition in the beard area.

The goal is to optimise the conditions for maximal natural beard growth within your genetic potential.

The PRP treatment for beard enhancement follows a process similar to scalp therapy:

1. Consultation: Our medical team assesses your beard growth pattern, discusses your goals, and confirms if PRP is a suitable approach for you.
2. Blood Draw & PRP Preparation: A small blood sample is taken from your arm and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP.
3. Area Preparation: The beard area to be treated is cleansed. Topical anaesthetic cream is usually applied to minimise discomfort during injections.
4. PRP Injection: Our practitioner performs a series of precise, small injections of the prepared PRP directly into the skin of the beard area, focusing on zones needing density improvement.
5. Post-Treatment Care: Minimal downtime is expected. You might experience temporary redness, minor swelling, or tenderness in the treated area for a day or two. Specific aftercare advice will be given by our medical team.

The entire appointment generally takes around 60 minutes.

Improvements in beard density from PRP therapy occur gradually:

• Initial Phase (1-3 Months): Some potential reduction in shedding (if applicable) and initial signs of follicle activation.
• Visible Growth (3-6 Months): Noticeable improvements in density and filling-in of patchy areas often become apparent as new hairs grow and existing ones thicken.
• Optimal Results (6-12 Months): Beard appears fuller and denser as the stimulated follicles mature.

A course of 3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended for best results. Maintenance sessions might be considered depending on individual response and desired density.

PRP therapy can be a good option for individuals who:

• Have naturally patchy or thin beard growth.
• Wish to increase the overall density and thickness of their beard.
• Have sufficient existing hair follicles in the target area (even if dormant).
• Are looking for a natural, non-hormonal approach to beard enhancement.
• Prefer a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime.

It's important to have realistic expectations; PRP stimulates existing follicles but doesn't create new ones where none exist genetically. A consultation with our medical team is essential.

PRP therapy is very safe for the beard area, primarily because it uses your own blood, eliminating allergy risks. As with any injection, temporary side effects like redness, swelling, pinpoint bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites are possible but usually mild and resolve quickly. Our medical team ensures sterile procedures for maximum safety.
