After a hair transplant in London, many patients explore options like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to support regrowth. Both can help, but they serve different purposes and vary in cost, application, and evidence.
PRP involves injecting your own concentrated platelets into the scalp. These platelets release growth factors that improve blood supply, stimulate follicles, and encourage faster recovery. Clinical studies support its use. A 2020 trial in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found PRP improved hair density and thickness post-transplant.
LLLT uses red light to activate mitochondrial activity in hair cells. This boosts ATP production, supporting follicle growth. A 2021 review in Lasers in Medical Science reported consistent results for LLLT in treating pattern hair loss, though it works best with regular use.
At My Hair UK, FUE transplant prices in London range from £2,499 (up to 500 grafts) to £4,899 (up to 3,500 grafts). PRP or LLLT are optional extras. PRP costs around £300–£400 per session, while LLLT home devices range from £300 to £900.
Before starting either therapy, book a health check with your GP to rule out thyroid issues, iron deficiency, or hormonal imbalance. In London, consider:

PRP and LLLT aren't essential, but for some patients, they may enhance results and reduce shedding. Would one of these treatments support your recovery goals?
