Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatment
Many women and men are unhappy to find they are losing their hair or that the hair on their head is thinning and want a non-surgical solution to treat it. Those who have already had a hair transplant may be looking for treatments to help maintain their results.
You may have already heard of non-surgical treatments that use your body’s own healing process to rejuvenate and restore the skin and may be interested to know that we are also able to offer this treatment to help reduce hair loss or thinning.
This non-surgical hair loss treatment is not yet a clinically proven way to treat hair loss although it is now being widely used as a procedure for hair loss/thinning and the published results from studies look to be very promising with many stating the beneficial effect that the treatment has had on those suffering with hair loss.
Non-surgical hair loss treatment uses a substance found within your blood that has a high level of proteins that are known as growth factors which have always been associated with wound healing. It has since been discovered that when these growth factors are administered in a high concentration it can be really effective at encouraging the growth in dormant hair follicles.
Here at The Private Clinic, we combine non-surgical hair loss treatment with hair supplements such as Viviscal in order to achieve the best results. The treatment can also be used alongside many other hair restoration treatments to boost the effectiveness as well as being used as a stand-alone therapy to help reduce hair loss and improve hair growth.
Non-surgical hair loss treatment is suitable for both men and women who are suffering pattern baldness, receding hair lines and androgenic alopecia. It is also a great treatment for men and women who have had a Hair Transplant procedure to help keep their head of hair healthy and maintain their results.

Non Surgical Hair Loss Treatment
You will start your treatment by having your blood taken.
This is taken by a nurse in-clinic just like if you were to have a blood test at your doctors or hospital.
The blood taken is then put into a machine called a centrifuge. A centrifuge spins the blood to separate out the red blood cells and blood plasma.
The blood plasma that has been separated will then be injected into the hair follicles on your head in the areas of hair loss.
Once the plasma is injected into the scalp, platelet activation will occur and the growth factors within the blood cells will stimulate the follicles and the improvement in blood circulation can also improve the quality of the follicles.
After Non Surgical Hair Loss Treatment
There is no downtime after non-surgical hair loss treatment.
The area treated on your scalp may feel a little sore for the hours following, but this can be controlled with pain relief if required. Some very mild swelling, redness or bruising may be present for 24 – 48 hours.
The best results are seen after 3 – 6 treatments over the course of 3 to 6 months.

FAQs
Non-surgical hair loss treatment can be used to stimulate and nourish the follicles for hair growth. The highly concentrated plasma taken from your own blood contains platelets that release growth factors; these growth factors are reported to generate new hair whilst improving the density and health of your existing hair.
We do not advise you to be treated if you have medical conditions such as skin diseases, cancer, metabolic and systemic disorders or chronic liver disease. You may also not be suitable for treatment if you have previously underdone anti-coagulation therapy or have any type of platelet dysfunction syndrome.
Non-surgical hair loss treatment is suitable for men and women and the best results are often seen in those with androgenic alopecia.
This non-surgical hair loss treatment has been used as a thinning hair treatment in male pattern hair loss and female pattern hair loss for over 10 years and is growing in popularity.
As with any kind of non-surgical treatment results vary from person to person and the treatment will not work in all cases. Research has shown that a wide range of people have responded well to treatment and are able to notice and see results within a few months. The best results are seen in those who are in the early stages of hair loss.
Medications are often recommended to enhance the results of hair regeneration following treatments.
You will be monitored throughout your treatment to assess how beneficial it is which will determine your suitability for continued treatment.
The procedure takes 30-45 minutes.
Non-surgical hair loss treatment is ideal for those who have previously had a hair transplant. We recommend that you speak to your surgeon about the treatment and they will be able to add non-surgical hair loss procedure into your treatment plan.
The treatment area can be sensitive so both topical anaesthetic and local anaesthetic injections can be used to make the treatment much more comfortable.
We often recommend that you have non-surgical hair loss treatment every 3-6 months.
You may notice an improvement in your hair texture and growth of new hairs a few weeks after your treatment. Typically it can take 3-6 months to see the best results.
The results of non-surgical hair loss treatment for hair regrowth are not permanent. Once you have completed your course of treatment your results can last anywhere from 6 months to a year and after this time top up treatments may be required to sustain the results.
Photographs will be taken at the start of your hair loss treatment and again at 6 months from your last treatment to identify the improvement of the hair growth.
You will be able to wash your hair as normal at least 2 hours after treatment. No harsh chemical colouring or perming treatments should be used for at least 72 hours post-treatment.
You may experience some pain and swelling on your scalp after non-surgical hair loss treatment but this is temporary and should resolve over the hours following treatment. Swelling, redness and bruising may be visible for up to 48 hours post treatment.
Non-surgical treatment for hair loss is not known for causing significant shedding however any treatment that stimulates hair growth does have a risk of shedding as a side effect.
If you are looking for a more long-term solution to hair loss then a hair transplant is going to be your best option. Non-surgical hair loss treatment is a great way to increase hair thickness and re-activate hair follicles that were otherwise dormant. It is a great compliment treatment to enhance the results from other non-surgical options such as Minoxidil and Finasteride. Non-surgical hair loss treatment is also commonly used in the months after FUE Hair Transplant procedures as it can promote the growth of your transplanted follicles as well as the native follicles in the area.
Non-surgical hair loss treatment is not currently FDA approved so no claims promoting its efficacy can be made.
Non-surgical hair loss treatment has however been successfully used in other medical and surgical procedures for many years. It is a safe and natural procedure that concentrates the good cells from your own blood and injects them directly back into areas where it is needed.
The cost of non-surgical hair loss treatment starts from £825 for one session.
A course of 3 PRP treatment for hair loss starts from £2,200.
Non-surgical hair loss treatment is a very safe procedure that holds no risk of allergic reactions as it is using your own blood. There is however some potential risks involved with all procedures that require needles to be used and these include: infection, bleeding, and nerve damage but they are very rare risks.
