PRP Treatment for Hair Loss in London
Harness your body’s own growth factors to help restore thinning hair—delivered by experienced clinicians at Santi London, South Kensington.
What is PRP and how does it work?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is prepared from a small sample of your blood. After centrifugation, the concentrated platelets are injected into the scalp. Platelet growth factors signal tissue repair and can support miniaturised follicles, improving hair calibre and density in suitable candidates.
Benefits of PRP for hair restoration
- Uses your own blood—no foreign materials
- Well-tolerated, minimal downtime
- Can complement other therapies (e.g., topical regimes, nutrition, low-level light)
What to expect during treatment
After consultation and photography, the scalp is cleaned and numbed. A fine needle delivers PRP across thinning zones. Sessions usually take ~30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people start with 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. We then review progress and discuss maintenance approximately every six months.
Who is PRP suitable for?
PRP can be considered for:
- Androgenetic hair loss (male & female pattern)
- Telogen effluvium (post-stress, post-partum, peri-menopause)
- Alopecia areata (as an adjunct, case-by-case)
An expert assessment helps exclude other causes such as nutritional deficiency or thyroid disease. Our Skin Lab diagnostics provide objective baselines to track change over time.
