Advanced MCT-Grade Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Hair Loss in Leicester

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical hair loss treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in growth factors, to stimulate hair follicles and encourage natural regrowth.

PRP works by injecting concentrated platelets directly into the scalp. The growth factors released by these platelets stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote new hair growth, and improve the thickness and quality of existing hair.

PRP is suitable for men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning, male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and as supportive treatment after hair transplant surgery. A clinical assessment determines suitability.

Yes. Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions by experienced clinicians.

An advanced electropneumatic delivery device provides controlled, high-frequency micro-injections at precise depths and consistent volumes across the scalp – improving accuracy, even distribution, and patient comfort compared with manual injection.

Our delivery system ensures the prepared serum reaches the correct depth in the dermis with consistent dosing, optimising follicular uptake while keeping the procedure virtually pain-free.

Most patients benefit from an initial course of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every six to twelve months, depending on individual response.

A small blood sample is taken, processed in the clinic to prepare the MCT-grade PRP, and delivered into the scalp using precision micro-injections. The full appointment typically takes 45 to 60 minutes.

Side effects are usually minimal and short-lived, including mild scalp tenderness, slight redness, or temporary swelling at the injection sites. These typically settle within 24 to 48 hours.

Initial improvements in hair quality and reduced shedding are often noticed within 8 to 12 weeks. Visible regrowth and density improvements generally develop over three to six months.

With an appropriate maintenance schedule, the benefits of PRP can be sustained long-term. Maintenance sessions every six to twelve months help preserve results.

PRP for hair loss is generally considered a cosmetic procedure and is not typically covered by private medical insurance. Please contact us for current self-pay pricing.

Because there is no clinical case for offering a biologically weaker autologous preparation when a more advanced one is available, safe, and regulatorily compliant. MCT processing amplifies the growth factor yield of your own blood by approximately threefold, with corresponding increases in cellular energy and autologous exosome content. We deliver it as standard because it represents best current autologous practice for PRP-based hair restoration.

MCT-grade PRP is an autologous treatment – every component is derived from your own blood, processed in clinic, and returned to you in the same session. This is the same well-established, safe regulatory framework as standard PRP, which has been delivered in the UK for over a decade. You benefit from your own biological signalling – including the exosomes your own body already produces – amplified through a Class IIa Medical CE-certified processing system.

This is different from the donor-derived or commercially supplied ‘exosome therapies’ that have recently attracted scrutiny. Injectable exosome products from external sources are not currently MHRA-authorised in the UK. MCT-grade PRP does not use any such products – it uses only you.

Yes – and it is one of the most clinically valuable applications. Post-transplant graft survival depends heavily on perfusion and growth factor availability in the first 12 weeks after surgery. MCT-grade PRP delivers a significantly amplified regenerative signal during that critical window. We work regularly with patients returning from FUE procedures abroad.
