What is the main difference between mesotherapy and PRP?

Mesotherapy introduces blended ingredients via micro-injections, while PRP uses your own platelet-rich plasma rich in natural growth factors.

Can I have both PRP and mesotherapy?

Yes. Many clients combine or alternate them to support scalp wellness. Your clinician will tailor cadence based on goals and comfort.

Which is better for me?

It depends on your pattern (e.g., androgenetic alopecia, traction or recovery after telogen effluvium), your preferences and how you respond during induction.

Is downtime different?

Both are typically low-downtime. Expect brief tenderness or redness that usually settles within 24–48 hours. Follow simple aftercare.

Mesotherapy vs PRP — Differences & When to Use

This page explains how mesotherapy and PRP differ, and how they can work together in a gentle, low-downtime plan. For the full treatment overview visit PRP, plan your cadence with PRP Sessions, and see typical milestones in the Results Timeline. Comfort tips are in PRP Side Effects with a quick checklist in PRP Aftercare.

How They Differ

Mesotherapy: micro-injections of blended ingredients designed to nourish the scalp.
PRP: your own plasma enriched with natural growth factors that support follicle signalling.

Who Each May Suit

Suitability depends on your pattern and goals. For hormone-sensitive thinning see androgenetic alopecia. If styling tension contributes, review traction alopecia. For recovery after a trigger, read telogen effluvium. We’ll tailor whether you choose one path or combine both.

Combining or Alternating

Some clients combine mesotherapy with PRP in a single visit; others alternate between them across their PRP Sessions induction. The aim is steady, comfortable progress aligned to the Hair Growth Cycle.

Comfort & Downtime

Both approaches are usually minimal downtime. Expect brief tenderness or redness that typically settles within 24–48 hours. Follow PRP Aftercare for a smooth recovery.

Results & Timelines

Many clients notice shedding normalisation by 6–12 weeks and coverage gains building across 3–6 months when they complete induction. See the Results Timeline.

Cost & Planning

PRP treatments start from £280 with combination options available. For budgeting across induction and maintenance, read PRP Cost (London) and book via the main PRP page.

FAQs

Can I start with one and add the other later?

Absolutely. We can begin with PRP or mesotherapy and adjust your plan as we track progress in photos month-to-month.

Will combining increase downtime?

Typically no. Downtime remains short and simple. Follow PRP Aftercare and read PRP Side Effects for comfort notes.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients complete a 3–6 session induction spaced 4–6 weeks apart, then maintain every 3–6 months. Details in PRP Sessions.
