Hair loss is a serious issue. A 2020 YouGov poll found that more than half of those under the age of 45 are “terrified” of going bald [1]. That’s why men and women in Birmingham and around the UK seek out effective hair loss treatments like PRP hair therapy.

The Wimpole Clinic offers exceptional medically-led PRP hair treatment in Birmingham. Here, you’ll learn all about getting PRP for your hair loss at our world-class facility, plus essential information including:

What is PRP hair therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma hair therapy is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure. It involves drawing a small sample of your blood, then extracting the platelet-rich plasma and injecting it into the thinning areas of your scalp.

Platelets contain growth factors that are proven to help stimulate cell proliferation and hair growth in the treated area [2]. Many PRP hair therapy patients see results within just three months [3]:

Should you get PRP hair loss treatment in Birmingham?

PRP hair treatment is an effective way to regrow hair, particularly if you have mild to moderate hair loss. According to one study, 93% of patients with male pattern baldness reported no further hair loss as early as two months after starting PRP hair treatment [5]. That’s why it’s one of the most popular hair loss procedures in Birmingham and around the UK.

But PRP isn’t always suitable for everyone. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of getting PRP for your hair so you can make the best decision for you.

The benefits of PRP hair therapy

  • Suitable for men and women.
  • Suitable for multiple types of hair loss.
  • Quick procedure time (usually around 30 minutes).
  • Minimal and/or mild side effects.
  • Less expensive than a hair transplant.
  • Less invasive than a hair transplant.
  • Less ongoing maintenance than with Minoxidil or Finasteride.

The downsides of PRP hair therapy

  • Results are temporary.
  • You’ll need multiple sessions, leading to higher costs.
  • Not always effective for extensive or established hair loss.
  • More invasive than topical hair loss treatments.
  • Not suitable for people with cancer, blood disorders, or active infections.

PRP hair treatment Birmingham: how much does it cost?

Happy man post-PRP hair treatment

At the Wimpole Clinic in Birmingham, PRP hair treatment prices start at £295 per session. In general, the cost of PRP for hair loss in Birmingham ranges from £170 to £400 per treatment.

Most clinics recommend a course of three PRP sessions across three months to encourage initial hair growth. You’ll then need regular PRP top-ups to maintain your results (one every three to six months). So factor in the need for repeat sessions when considering price. Some clinics will offer discounted rates if you pay for multiple sessions upfront.

The most effective treatments for hair loss

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is highly effective for hair growth, with many people reporting excellent PRP hair treatment success rates. But you can get even better hair growth if you combine PRP with other hair loss treatments.

In one study, 100% of patients who used PRP alongside an FUE hair transplant achieved more than 75% hair regrowth after six months of PRP hair therapy [6]. Getting PRP alongside a hair transplant has also been shown to improve healing, increase hair density, shorten the post-transplant hair shedding phase, and boost graft survival rates.

PRP can also complement other therapies to maximise your hair regrowth, including [7-10]:

Each of these hair loss treatments works in its own right. But for best results, opt for a tailored plan that combines multiple proven techniques to give you the best possible regrowth.

FAQs

Find out more about platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair in these frequently asked questions.

Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrated fraction of platelets extracted from your own blood. Platelets are blood cells that help with blood clotting, but they also contain important growth factors that can help stimulate hair growth and tissue regeneration.

There are no guarantees, but many PRP patients do start to see hair changes around three months after your first treatment [3]. Your results will depend on whether you complete a full three-month course, your individual response to the treatment, and whether you’re using any complementary therapies.

Studies show that hair density can start to decline around six to 12 months after your first treatment [11]. So you may need top-up treatments every six months or so to maintain your hair growth.
