Treatment questions

Does PRP work for hair loss?

If you are considering PRP, you want more than a hopeful before-and-after picture. You want to know what it might offer, what it cannot promise and whether the commitment makes sense for you. Those are the questions to start with.

A CLEAR STARTING POINT

PRP may help some people with pattern hair loss, but results are unpredictable and it is not a cure. The cause of your hair loss, the evidence and the full cost should be discussed before a course is agreed.

What does the research say about PRP for thinning hair?

The British Association of Dermatologists describes limited research suggesting benefit for male pattern hair loss, with unpredictable outcomes and more research needed. A positive result in a study is not a promise about your own hair. Ask how the evidence relates to your particular diagnosis.

Does PRP treat every type of hair loss?

No. “Hair loss” describes a change, rather than one condition with one treatment. Before discussing a cosmetic procedure, establish what is causing the change. Bring any medical advice to your consultation so the conversation starts with your circumstances.

What would count as a useful result for me?

Explain what matters to you: for example, a particular area that looks thinner. Ask what change the proposed plan aims to achieve, how it will be recorded and when it will be reviewed. Avoid judging progress through differently lit photographs or a promised percentage of regrowth.

Does a 12-week programme guarantee results in 12 weeks?

No. At this clinic, 12 weeks describes an appointment programme. It includes three PRP and microneedling sessions spaced four weeks apart, high-frequency sessions between them, home care and support. Those inclusions do not establish that a particular hair outcome will appear by the last visit.

What should I ask before paying for PRP in Hereford?

An individual PRP session is listed at £195. Ask about suitability, risks, alternatives, the consultation fee, the proposed number of sessions and any later costs. Agree a review point and discuss what would happen if the plan did not meet your expectations.
