Restore thicker, healthier hair with PRP hair treatment in Oxford. Doctor-led platelet rich plasma therapy using your own growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles, reduce shedding and support natural hair regrowth with no surgery and no synthetic material.
A regenerative injectable treatment using your own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate dormant follicles and support natural hair regrowth
PRP hair treatment in Oxford at Cannelle suits men and women in the early to moderate stages of hair loss who want to restore hair density and scalp health without surgery or synthetic substances. It is well suited to patients noticing increased shedding, thinning at the crown or temples, or a general reduction in hair volume, who want a clinically grounded approach that works with their own biology.
PRP hair treatment is suited to patients experiencing one or more of the following:
• Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)
• General thinning and reduced hair density
• Increased shedding or telogen effluvium
• Post-partum hair loss
• Traction alopecia
• Thinning following illness, stress or hormonal change
• Weakened follicles not yet in complete loss
If you are noticing these changes and want a treatment that works with your biology rather than masking what is happening, PRP hair treatment is worth considering. PRP works best while follicles are still active but weakened, so the earlier treatment begins, the more can be preserved and stimulated. A consultation with Dr Parducci will confirm whether PRP is the right fit for your type and degree of hair loss and which preparation and course length is most appropriate.
Patients already using minoxidil or other hair loss treatments often find PRP a strong complement, adding a regenerative dimension that topical treatments alone cannot deliver.
Platelet rich plasma therapy is a regenerative injectable treatment that uses a concentrated preparation of your own blood to stimulate the scalp’s natural repair processes. A 2023 meta-analysis of nine randomised controlled trials confirmed that PRP significantly increases hair density compared with placebo at both three and six months. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford, Dr Mattia Parducci performs every PRP hair treatment using Regen Lab’s CE-certified medical devices, the gold standard for standardised PRP preparation in aesthetic medicine.
Unlike topical treatments or surgical hair restoration, PRP works by reactivating weakened follicles from within rather than masking the effects of hair loss. It encourages the scalp to improve microcirculation, strengthen existing follicles and renew the biological conditions needed for healthy hair growth. For patients who want a lasting improvement in hair density rather than a temporary fix, this is what sets PRP apart.
PRP works by concentrating the platelets from your blood and injecting them into targeted areas of the scalp, where they release growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, TGF and EGF. These growth factors stimulate dormant follicles, improve scalp microcirculation, prolong the anagen growth phase and slow the follicle miniaturisation associated with androgenetic hair loss.
At Cannelle, the preparation uses Regen Lab’s closed circuit gel separation system, which produces a consistent, leukocyte poor plasma that maximises platelet quality and minimises scalp inflammation. Results build gradually over three to six months, with most patients noticing reduced shedding first, followed by improved density and thickness as the hair growth cycle responds fully to treatment.
PRP hair treatment at Cannelle reduces shedding, stimulates dormant follicles and improves hair density and scalp health using nothing but your own biology. Because the preparation draws entirely from your own blood, there is no synthetic material, no risk of allergic reaction and no surgery required. Results develop gradually and typically last twelve to eighteen months following a full course.
Everything at Cannelle starts with a proper consultation. Dr Mattia Parducci takes time to understand the nature and extent of your hair loss, your history and what you want to achieve before anything is recommended. The treatment itself is straightforward, but the outcome is shaped by that conversation, which is why patients return.
Before PRP hair treatment in Oxford, you will attend a full medical consultation with Dr Mattia Parducci to assess suitability, discuss your hair loss concerns and confirm the course required. We advise avoiding blood thinning medications and alcohol prior to treatment where medically appropriate, washing your hair on the morning of treatment, and staying well hydrated in the days beforehand.
PRP hair treatment takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. A topical anaesthetic is applied to the scalp to maximise comfort. A small blood draw is taken, processed using our Regen Lab device to produce your platelet rich plasma, and then precisely injected across the scalp into areas of thinning and loss to stimulate follicle activity and improve microcirculation.
Mild scalp tenderness, redness or small injection marks may occur. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, swimming and direct sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours, and avoiding washing your hair for 24 hours following treatment. Follicle stimulation develops gradually over the following weeks and months.
Dr Parducci performs PRP hair treatment using Regen Lab’s CE-certified medical devices as a matter of clinical principle, because the quality and consistency of the preparation directly affects follicle response and overall outcome. It is a deliberate decision, not a default one, and it reflects a wider commitment to evidence-based practice in hair restoration rather than simply following trends.
Rated 4.8 stars by over 330 patients on Google, Cannelle has built a reputation in Oxford and the surrounding area for clear, honest consultations and results that are genuinely worth having. Patients come here because they trust the judgement of the person treating them. Whether you are considering a single PRP session or a longer regenerative programme, you will get an answer you can rely on, and treatment that is right for you.
Dr Parducci will recommend the most appropriate preparation for your scalp and hair concerns during your consultation. In some cases a combination of preparations may be used across a course to achieve the best outcome.
The starting point for most patients. A concentrated preparation of your own plasma is injected across targeted areas of the scalp to stimulate follicle activity, improve microcirculation and reduce shedding. Best suited to patients in the early to moderate stages of hair loss, those maintaining results from a previous course, or anyone wanting a gradual, natural improvement in hair density.
The same platelet rich plasma preparation, combined with a hyaluronic acid scaffold. The HA matrix prolongs the release of growth factors into the scalp tissue and supports the hydration of the follicular environment alongside the regenerative effect. Well suited to patients with moderate to advanced thinning, a dry or compromised scalp, or those wanting a stronger regenerative result from a single course.
The most intensive preparation available at Cannelle. PRP Biogel delivers a higher biological payload in a gel carrier that integrates into the scalp tissue differently from standard injected plasma, allowing for sustained growth factor release and a deeper regenerative response. Best suited to patients with more pronounced hair loss, those who have not responded fully to standard PRP, or those who want the most advanced biological result a single programme can deliver.
We offer tailored PRP hair treatment plans designed to stimulate follicle activity, reduce shedding and improve hair density using your own growth factors.
All bookings include a personalised consultation with Dr Mattia Parducci. Final pricing may vary based on your treatment plan and clinical assessment.

PRP hair treatment works by stimulating the scalp’s own regenerative processes, so the questions patients ask most often are about whether it will work for their specific type of hair loss, when results will show and how long they last. This section covers how the treatment works, what to expect from a course and which hair loss concerns PRP is best suited to address.
PRP hair treatment uses a concentrated preparation of your own blood to stimulate dormant follicles, improve scalp microcirculation and reduce shedding. A small blood draw is processed to isolate the platelet rich plasma, which Dr Parducci injects into targeted areas of the scalp. Because it works through your own growth factors rather than synthetic material, results develop gradually and look entirely natural.
All three use your own platelet rich plasma as the foundation, but each delivers a different level of treatment to the scalp. PRP is the starting point, suited to patients new to regenerative hair treatment or maintaining existing results. PRP with HA adds a hyaluronic acid scaffold that prolongs growth factor release and supports the follicular environment. PRP Biogel is the most intensive option, a gel form preparation with a higher biological payload, best suited to patients with more pronounced hair loss seeking the deepest regenerative response.
Most patients notice a reduction in shedding within the first four to eight weeks of starting treatment. Improved hair density and visible thickening typically become apparent at three to four months. The full benefit of a course is usually apparent by six months as the hair growth cycle completes.
An initial course typically delivers results lasting twelve to eighteen months. Longevity depends on the type and progression of hair loss, age and overall health. In most cases, a single maintenance session every three to six months is recommended to sustain the improvements achieved.
Most patients benefit from an initial course of three to four sessions, spaced four weeks apart. Each session builds on the follicle-stimulating response triggered by the last, producing a cumulative improvement in hair density and scalp health. Maintenance sessions every three to six months are recommended to sustain results long term.
PRP is one of the most evidence-backed non-surgical treatments for androgenetic alopecia in men. It works best in the early to moderate stages of male pattern hair loss, where follicles are weakened and miniaturised but still present. By improving scalp microcirculation and delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the follicle, PRP can slow progression, stimulate dormant follicles and improve overall hair density. It is less effective in areas of complete hair loss where follicles are no longer active.
Yes. PRP is well suited to female pattern hair loss, which typically presents as diffuse thinning across the crown rather than a receding hairline. Women often respond well to PRP because female hair loss tends to involve weakened rather than fully lost follicles. A course of three to four sessions is usually recommended, and results are typically visible within three to six months.
PRP is one of the most effective regenerative options for thinning hair, particularly where the underlying cause is androgenetic alopecia or follicle miniaturisation. By stimulating the follicles still present and improving their environment, PRP can restore density and reduce ongoing thinning. It works best when started early, before significant follicle loss has occurred.
PRP has the strongest evidence base for androgenetic alopecia and good clinical support for telogen effluvium, the type of diffuse shedding triggered by stress, illness or hormonal change. Evidence for alopecia areata is more limited and outcomes are less predictable. Dr Parducci will assess your specific type of hair loss at consultation and advise honestly whether PRP is appropriate for your situation.
PRP is most effective where follicles are still present but weakened or dormant. In areas of complete baldness where follicles have been lost entirely, PRP is unlikely to produce meaningful regrowth. The earlier treatment begins in the hair loss process, the more follicles can be preserved and stimulated. Dr Parducci will assess your suitability honestly at consultation.
Post-partum hair loss is caused by a shift in the hair growth cycle following childbirth, resulting in a period of increased shedding that typically resolves over several months. PRP can support and accelerate recovery by stimulating follicle activity and improving scalp health during the regrowth phase. It is a safe and effective option for women looking to support their hair’s return to normal density after pregnancy.
Choosing where to have PRP treatment in Oxford is as important as choosing the treatment itself. This section covers what makes a doctor-led clinic the right environment for PRP, how Cannelle’s approach to safety and preparation differs from other providers, what the treatment costs and why, and how PRP compares to other regenerative treatments available at Cannelle so you can make a confident, well-informed decision.
PRP and minoxidil both address hair loss but work in fundamentally different ways. Minoxidil is a topical treatment that prolongs the hair growth phase and requires daily application to maintain its effect, with results diminishing if treatment is stopped. PRP is a regenerative injectable treatment that stimulates follicle activity from within, with a course of sessions delivering results that last twelve to eighteen months without the need for daily maintenance. Many patients use both in combination for a stronger overall result.
Yes, and in many cases combining PRP with other treatments produces a stronger result than either alone. PRP is frequently used alongside scalp microneedling, where the micro-channels created during the procedure enhance PRP absorption and amplify follicle stimulation. It also works well alongside Exosomes and Polynucleotides as part of a wider hair restoration programme. Dr Parducci will advise on the most effective combination for your hair loss at consultation.
A topical numbing cream is applied to the scalp beforehand, so most patients find the treatment very manageable. You may feel mild pressure or a brief sting during the injections. Afterwards, some scalp tenderness and redness are normal and typically settle within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day.
At Cannelle, PRP hair treatment starts at £400 per session, with a course of three available at £1,020. PRP with HA is priced from £690 per session or £1,650 for three, and PRP Biogel from £1,000 per session or £2,500 for three. Pricing reflects the clinical expertise of Dr Parducci, the quality of the Regen Lab preparation devices and the time given to each patient from consultation through to aftercare.
For patients wanting a genuine, lasting improvement in hair density and scalp health, PRP represents strong value compared to treatments that require daily maintenance or carry higher risks. The biological improvements in follicle activity and hair thickness that a course of PRP produces typically hold for twelve to eighteen months. When performed by a qualified doctor using validated devices, it is one of the most cost effective regenerative hair treatments available.
PRP and hair transplant surgery address hair loss differently and are not mutually exclusive. A hair transplant moves follicles from a donor area to areas of loss and is best suited to patients with established, stable hair loss who want permanent restoration. PRP is a non-surgical option best suited to patients in the earlier stages of hair loss who want to preserve and strengthen existing follicles. PRP is also commonly used after a hair transplant to support graft survival and accelerate recovery.
All three are regenerative treatments for hair loss but they work at different biological levels. PRP uses your own concentrated growth factors to stimulate follicles and improve scalp microcirculation. Exosomes deliver advanced cellular signals that promote follicle repair and regeneration, particularly effective in more advanced or compromised cases. Polynucleotides use DNA fragments to strengthen follicle cells and the scalp environment at a molecular level. Many patients at Cannelle use two or all three in combination for a more comprehensive hair restoration programme.
PRP is one of the safest treatments available in aesthetic medicine because it uses nothing but your own blood. There is no synthetic material, no donor tissue and no risk of allergic reaction. At Cannelle, Dr Parducci uses Regen Lab’s CE-certified closed circuit devices to produce a consistently high quality preparation that keeps post-treatment scalp inflammation to a minimum. Some mild bruising or tenderness at the injection site is possible, as with any injectable treatment, but this is temporary and settles quickly.
For the right patient, PRP is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for hair loss available, with a strong evidence base, no synthetic material and minimal downtime. Results are gradual and natural. As with any treatment, outcomes vary depending on the type and degree of hair loss, which is why a thorough consultation with Dr Parducci before committing is important.
The quality of PRP hair treatment depends heavily on two things: the preparation system used and the skill of the person delivering it. At Cannelle, every PRP treatment is performed or directly overseen by Dr Mattia Parducci, a qualified aesthetic doctor with a background in trauma, intensive care and plastic surgery. Patients are assessed for suitability before treatment, treated with medical grade Regen Lab devices and supported with clinical aftercare throughout.
Our patients return to us year after year for natural, balanced results. Every review reflects our commitment to precision, safety and a personalised approach to aesthetic care.
I had two waxings and a biofacial today. Holly was excellent, knowledgeable, and impeccable in her attention. The products also felt really lovely – the hot wax was painless and the facial products felt luxurious. The whole experience was the best I’ve ever had. Will come back.
I go to Cannelle for facials, manicures and pedicures. They are professional, skilled, and attentive to my needs. It’s a lovely and relaxing environment. Mursal gives such wonderful treatments. She is very knowledgable about skin care and very gentle in the application of the products. I see her every 6 weeks for a facial and my skin has never looked better.
