Natural Solution for Hair Thinning

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a clinically proven PRP treatment for hair loss that offers a natural approach to combating hair thinning and promoting regrowth. By concentrating powerful growth factors from your own blood and delivering them directly to the scalp, PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles and improves overall scalp health. At PRP London Clinic, our medical team uses this autologous treatment to help patients achieve thicker, fuller, healthier hair.

This page details how PRP works specifically for hair restoration. For potentially enhanced results, consider combining PRP with Exosomes (Exosomes + PRP Combination).

Medically Led by our Clinical Board

PRP London Clinic operates under the rigorous oversight of our Clinical Board. Our hair restoration protocols are implemented by a team of specialist doctors, including Dr. Mohamed Nafei (GMC: 7520509).

With credentials including MBBS, PgDip in Aesthetic Medicine, and PgDip in Endocrinology, Dr. Nafei brings a deep understanding of the hormonal drivers of hair loss. This ensures every treatment is medically informed by the latest developments in regenerative medicine and endocrinology.

A Comprehensive Patient Care Network

At PRP London Clinic, we believe the best outcomes are achieved through collective expertise. Our doctors operate within a rigorous clinical workflow, ensuring that every procedure follows the same gold-standard protocol regardless of which specialist you see.

  • Unified Clinical Standards: Every doctor follows a consistent, evidence-based workflow—from Rein PRP processing to injection technique—to ensure consistent, high-purity results.
  • Collaborative Medical Review: Our medical team collaborates across their respective specialties to ensure complex cases receive a 360-degree review.

Specialist Hair Restoration Cases

  • Afro-Textured Hair & Traction Alopecia: Specialized injection techniques to treat thinning caused by styling tension or genetic hair loss in Afro-textured hair.

The Rein PRP™ Clinical Standard

Unlike standard aesthetic systems, we utilise the Rein PRP System—a CE Class IIB, ISO 13485:2016 certified system compliant with MDR 2017/745.

93–97% PRP Platelet Recovery Rate

Ensuring a therapeutic concentration of growth factors for optimal follicle stimulation.

Step 1: Digital Trichoscopy Hair Analysis

Every journey begins with a microscopic scan to map follicle density and track miniaturisation. We follow a strict 'No Follicle, No Benefit' rule; we only treat patients who have the biological capacity for regrowth.

Multimodal Hair Loss Strategy

We actively support a combined approach, integrating PRP with medical-grade Finasteride and Minoxidil protocols where appropriate for a 360-degree defense against thinning.

How PRP Stimulates Hair Follicles

When injected into the scalp, the concentrated growth factors within the PRP initiate several key processes beneficial for hair growth:

  • Follicle Stimulation: Growth factors signal dormant hair follicles to enter the active growth (anagen) phase.
  • Increased Blood Flow: Promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) around the follicles, improving nutrient and oxygen supply.
  • Cell Proliferation: Encourages the multiplication of cells within the hair follicle crucial for hair production.
  • Prolonged Growth Phase: Helps maintain follicles in the anagen phase for longer periods.
  • Reduced Inflammation: Helps create a healthier scalp environment less prone to follicle damage.

This cascade effect supports the natural hair growth cycle, leading to reduced shedding and increased hair density over time.

Your PRP Hair Treatment Journey

Your PRP hair restoration treatment with our medical team typically involves these steps:

  1. Consultation & Digital Trichoscopy: Assessment of your hair loss type, severity, and suitability for PRP using microscopic imaging. Discussion of expected outcomes.
  2. Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is comfortably drawn from your arm.
  3. PRP Preparation (Rein System): Your blood is processed in the high-recovery Rein centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
  4. Scalp Preparation: The treatment area on your scalp is cleansed. Topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort if needed, although injections are usually well-tolerated.
  5. PRP Injection: Our practitioner performs a series of small, targeted injections of the PRP across the areas of thinning scalp.
  6. Post-Treatment: You can typically resume normal activities immediately. Some mild scalp tenderness or redness is possible but usually resolves quickly. Aftercare advice will be provided.

The entire appointment usually takes around 60 minutes.

Expected Results & Timeline for Hair

Patience is key, as PRP works in synergy with your natural hair growth cycles:

  • Initial Phase (1-3 Months): Reduced hair shedding is often the first noticeable sign.
  • Growth Phase (3-6 Months): Early signs of new hair growth and increased thickness may become visible.
  • Optimal Results (6-12 Months): More significant improvements in density and coverage are typically seen as hair continues to grow and mature.

For optimal results, a course of 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is generally recommended. Our medical team may suggest maintenance treatments (e.g., every 6-12 months) to sustain the improvements.

Safety of PRP Scalp Injections

PRP therapy for hair loss is exceptionally safe due to its autologous nature (using your own blood), virtually eliminating risks of allergic reactions or rejection. The procedure involves injections, so minor, temporary side effects like scalp tenderness, redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising can occur but are generally mild and short-lived. Our medical team performs the treatment under sterile conditions using the certified Rein PRP™ system to ensure maximum safety.

Clinical Disclaimer

PRP Therapy is a biological medical procedure. Individual results vary based on age, genetics, and baseline health. While the Rein PRP system achieves a 97% recovery rate, PRP is a treatment to manage hair thinning and density—it is not a permanent "cure" for genetic baldness. A professional consultation and Trichoscan are required to determine suitability.

Step-by-Step: The PRP Hair Restoration Protocol

Our Clinical Board follows a rigorous 5-stage medical protocol to ensure maximum platelet recovery and optimal follicle stimulation for hair regrowth.

1

Digital Trichoscopy & Consultation

A microscopic scan maps your follicle density and identifies miniaturisation patterns. We follow a strict 'No Follicle, No Benefit' rule—we only proceed if you have the biological capacity for regrowth.

2

Precision Blood Draw

A small sample of blood is drawn from your arm using sterile vacuum-sealed phlebotomy equipment to ensure maximum cell viability.

3

High-Recovery PRP Processing

Your blood is processed using the Rein PRP System at optimised centrifugation settings, achieving a 93–97% platelet recovery rate for maximum growth factor concentration.

4

Scalp Mapping & Preparation

The treatment zones are mapped based on your Trichoscopy results. The scalp is cleansed and optional topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort.

5

Targeted Micro-Injection Protocol

Our GMC-registered doctors perform a series of precise micro-injections across the mapped treatment zones, delivering concentrated growth factors directly to dormant follicles.
