PRP hair treatment involves taking a sample of your own blood and processing it to create a concentrated sample of platelets. These platelets are then re-injected into areas of thinning or balding. It is a type of regenerative medicine — a field that focuses on regenerating damaged cells to restore normal function.
PRP contains growth factors that can contribute to hair regeneration and encourage healthy hair growth [2]. It stimulates weak or inactive hair follicles, leading to thicker, healthier hair.
PRP is not a permanent solution for hair loss. It has advantages over treatments like hair loss medications, such as Finasteride and Minoxidil, which need to be used daily. In contrast, PRP lasts for several months after a round of treatment.
There are several factors to consider when choosing where to have PRP hair treatment in Manchester. The most important factors are proven results, safety and choosing a clinic that provides good value for money.
Any reputable clinic should have proof of successful results with PRP hair treatment. Look for testimonials, case studies, and before and after photos.
You can find these on clinics’ websites, social media and sites such as Trustpilot. If your clinic cannot provide any proof they’ve successfully completed this procedure before, you may wish to choose another clinic.
The Wimpole Clinic has more than 1,000 reviews on Trustpilot, with an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars. This is what one of our customers had to say about their experience:
I have had three initial PRP treatments (five week intervals between each treatment) followed by 6 month PRP maintenance treatment.
I would say I am now 9 months into the treatment and I can see improved results of thicker hair. I have also observed new native hair spouting. It has also helped thicken my hair transplant hair.

Safety is paramount when undergoing any medical procedure. When selecting a clinic, check who will be performing the procedure.
PRP should be performed by a doctor, surgeon or registered medical professional. Ideally, treatment should take place at a Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered clinic, such as the Wimpole Clinic.
Your clinic should also be able to provide a clear aftercare process and share instructions for what to do if you have any concerns following the procedure. Like all medical procedures, PRP hair treatment comes with some level of risk. Risks include [3-4]:
Choosing an experienced practitioner at a reputable clinic can reduce your risk of experiencing any of these side effects.

There is some strong research behind PRP as a treatment for hair loss. A meta-analysis of 10 trials including 318 participants found that PRP significantly increased hair density [5]. It’s worth noting that PRP’s effect on hair density was much higher in male-only trials compared to mixed-sex groups [5].
A 2020 meta-analysis including 218 participants also showed a significant effect of PRP on hair diameter in men and women [7]. Research suggests PRP may be more effective when combined with other hair loss treatments, such as Minoxidil. For example, a study of 69 men with androgenetic alopecia demonstrated [8]:
Unlike PRP hair treatment, hair transplants costs are, on average, higher in Manchester than in London. The average hair transplant costs £6599 in Manchester, while London’s average is £5239. Ultimately, only a hair loss specialist can advise you on which treatment might be your best option, but here are some things to consider.
Hair transplants are more expensive than PRP hair treatment, but they are also a permanent solution to hair loss. This means they may be more cost-efficient in the long run, as PRP requires multiple sessions for ongoing results.

PRP requires multiple sessions for improvements in hair growth and thickness. It takes at least 3 months to see results [9], and long-term treatment will be required to maintain your new hair growth. If you have treatment for several years, it may end up more expensive than a hair transplant.
PRP is not a permanent solution to hair shedding. While you may experience permanent results if you continue to use PRP indefinitely, this can be expensive in the long run. It may be cheaper to get a hair transplant than to have PRP for several years or more.
Research suggests PRP treatment provides better results than Minoxidil alone. In a 2019 study, the PRP group was found to have better outcomes for hair loss than the Minoxidil group. Participants who received PRP had better results for the hair pull test, hair growth questionnaire, and patient satisfaction score [10].
