Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair treatments are safe and effective in treating many types of alopecia. A 2022 meta-analysis revealed that this therapy led to positive results for patients with patterned hair loss in 84% of the analysed studies [1]. But given the large number of hair clinics that offer this procedure, how can you find the best PRP hair treatment in Liverpool?
Keep reading this article to get the best tips on choosing the right Liverpool hair clinic for an exceptional PRP hair treatment experience, such as:
The best hair clinics in Liverpool are mindful of every detail, to ensure that their patients get a safe, hygienic and comfortable experience. While many promise impeccable service and outstanding results, here are some good signs that set apart the best from the rest when it comes to high-quality patient care:
If you are planning to get PRP hair treatment in Liverpool and you encounter one or more of the following situations with the clinic you are considering, it is best to look elsewhere. That is because the following red flags are often a sign your safety and comfort are not their priority:
Getting PRP hair treatments in any authorised, CQC-monitored clinic in the UK is generally safe, as they normally abide by health and safety guidelines. Moreover, PRP treatment side effects are usually mild, with severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock, or nerve damage being extremely rare.
Most hair clinics follow the same protocols and good practices to perform this procedure and pricing does not normally vary substantially between facilities of a similar tier. So how do you know which clinic to pick when faced with several good and mostly equivalent choices?
The best clinic for you is the one where you feel most welcome and comfortable. That is because your patient experience is the key differentiator. Clinic location convenience can help you feel more relaxed. Elegant furnishings and sparkling cleanliness show commitment to excellence. Doctors who take extra time to provide helpful explanations and reassurance can have you feeling safe and in good hands. And thoughtful staff who can anticipate your needs and go the extra mile to ensure that you are well taken care of can make you feel special and embody the concept of patient-centred care.
The moment you walk through the doors of a hair clinic with these qualities, you will be able to feel it, as everything will seem to fall into place to offer you a top-tier experience.
The first thing your trichologist will do after welcoming you for your procedure is to walk you through the entire process and patiently answer all of your questions. They may also ask about your medical history and known allergies if this was not discussed in a preliminary consultation.
Then, you will be seated comfortably in a special chair and a small (usually 10-60 ml [1]) quantity of blood will be extracted from the vein in your arm. If you have a fear of needles, you may be offered a mild sedative to help you relax beforehand.
The blood will then be placed in a centrifuge for 10 minutes. This machine will separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood fractions (e.g. red and white blood cells, cell-free plasma). After the separation process is completed, the PRP is extracted and placed into a syringe with a fine needle.
Before your treatment begins, your doctor may inject your scalp with a local anaesthetic, to make your experience more comfortable (this is optional, as the procedure is not very painful). Finally, the trichologist injects the PRP into different areas on your scalp with thinning hair.
Once the procedure is completed, your doctor will check how you are feeling and provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. They will also let you know when you need to schedule your next session.
PRP treatment success rates generally depend on the reason your hair is falling out. This therapy has proven effectiveness in increasing hair density for patients with androgenetic alopecia, and it can help restore hair growth when used alongside other treatments in alopecia areata. Here is what you can expect:
There is growing evidence that PRP hair treatment can improve your hair transplant results when used during or after the procedure. Studies show that getting PRP immediately after having your grafts implanted can stimulate your hair follicles for growth, improve graft chances of survival and make your hair grow back faster after hair transplant shock loss. This can lead to better and faster final hair restoration results that increase your hair density, length and thickness [6][7][8].
So if you are planning to get a permanent hair transplant, also getting PRP hair treatment alongside it may be a good idea. It may also be cost-effective, as some clinics offer discounts for complementary treatments to patients who have had hair restorations.
The cost of PRP hair treatment in Liverpool is generally somewhat lower than for PRP hair treatment in London, which can go as high as £850 per session in high-end facilities. Liverpool prices normally range between £200 and £450 per PRP session.
However, this depends on the type of clinic you have chosen and any additional services you may opt for. Some clinics offer good discounts or free complementary services. For example, PRP hair treatment prices at the Wimpole Clinic start at £295 per session, but the price includes a pre-procedure consultation to give you a better understanding of the treatment and assess your suitability.
Considering that patients require, on average, 3-6 PRP sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, you can expect to spend between £600-£2700 for PRP treatment in Liverpool. And the effects of this treatment last about 4-6 months. So if you are experiencing moderate or advanced hair loss, you may want to ask yourself (and your trichologist) if you might be better off getting hair restoration surgery.
Hair transplant costs at the Wimpole clinic start at £3,499. Unlike PRP treatments which need to be refreshed regularly to remain effective, surgical hair restoration is permanent and can have significantly better results.

If you are a good candidate for a hair transplant, it is normally the most effective hair loss treatment available and as close as we can get to a cure for baldness. That is because it usually provides a greater increase in hair density than non-surgical hair restoration treatments.
However, if you are not a good candidate for this surgery or your hair loss is still too mild to need one, PRP hair treatments can also yield great results.
