Seeking a minimally invasive way to enhance your hair growth in Bristol? Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair is an effective method for minimising hair loss and stimulating regrowth.

Here, you’ll learn all about getting PRP hair treatment in Bristol. Discover more about Bristol PRP hair therapy costs, side effects, results, and aftercare recommendations to help you make the best of your hair loss treatment.
In PRP hair treatment, a small amount of blood is extracted from your arm. This blood is then separated into its discrete components using a centrifuge. The platelet-rich plasma is then extracted and injected into your scalp, targeting the thinning or balding areas.
Platelets contain a multitude of growth factors that can help regenerate your hair and promote healthy growth [2]. But to maintain your results, you’ll need a series of initial treatments followed by regular PRP top-ups. One study found that three PRP treatments over the course of three months could increase hair density by an average of 45.9 hairs per cm2 [3].
It’s clear that PRP hair treatment has strong success rates. But there are plenty of other benefits, too:
If you’re looking for PRP treatment in Bristol, here’s what you need to consider when choosing a clinic:
Cost is often the first consideration when selecting a hair growth treatment. PRP therapy costs in Bristol start at around £200 per session. Lower prices tend to be offered by beauty therapists and aestheticians rather than medical professionals.
To get the best results, you’ll need multiple sessions of PRP. So bear this in mind when calculating costs. Some clinics will offer discounted rates if you commit to a course of treatments upfront.
Take a look at the results and reviews from your chosen clinic before you book. This will give you peace of mind that their staff have the requisite skill and training to produce results.

Like all treatments, PRP does have some potential side effects. But these are relatively mild and uncommon, since this therapy uses your own blood as the source of treatment.
PRP therapy involves injections, which some people find uncomfortable (though any pain is usually mild and short-lived). You might also experience a small amount of swelling and tenderness around the injection site for a few days after PRP hair therapy.
