How much does PRP hair treatment cost at The London PRP Clinic?

£545 per session for our comprehensive PRP hair treatment, which includes Viviscal™ Professional supplements and organic hair oils. Most patients need 3-4 initial sessions. ExoRevive treatment is £445 per session.

Is PRP better than a hair transplant?

PRP is better for early-stage hair loss (Norwood 1-4) as it's non-surgical with no downtime and costs £545 vs £3,000-15,000 for transplants. Hair transplants are better for advanced hair loss (Norwood 5-7) but require surgery and 2 weeks recovery. Many patients use PRP to enhance transplant results.

What's the difference between PRP and ExoRevive?

PRP uses your blood's platelets containing 5-7 growth factors. ExoRevive uses lab-derived exosomes with 1,000+ growth factors, often showing faster results (6-8 weeks vs 3-4 months). ExoRevive costs £445 per session vs £545 for PRP with supplements.

Dermal Fillers Near You: What to Know

31 Aug

Dermal fillers offer versatile solutions for facial volume loss and contour enhancement. Understanding the various types and applications helps you make informed decisions about your treatment.

Understanding Facial Volume Loss

Facial ageing involves more than just wrinkle formation. The face loses volume in predictable patterns - temples hollow, cheeks flatten, and the jawline loses definition. This occurs due to fat pad descent and atrophy, bone resorption, and decreased collagen production.

The concept of the "triangle of youth" illustrates this change. In youth, the widest part of the face is the cheeks, tapering to the chin. With age, this inverts as volume loss and descent create jowls and a heavier lower face.

Types of Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

These remain the gold standard for facial volumisation. Different formulations suit different areas - softer products for lips and tear troughs, firmer ones for cheek augmentation and jawline contouring. Their reversibility with hyaluronidase provides a safety net.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite

This filler stimulates collagen production while providing immediate volume. It's particularly effective for deeper volume restoration and can last up to 18 months. However, it cannot be dissolved, making practitioner selection crucial.

Poly-L-Lactic Acid

Rather than providing immediate volume, this stimulates gradual collagen production over several months. Results appear naturally and can last two years or more. Multiple sessions are typically needed for optimal results.

Treatment Areas and Techniques

Mid-Face Restoration

Cheek augmentation often provides the most dramatic rejuvenation. Proper placement on the zygomatic arch lifts the entire mid-face, improving nasolabial folds and providing a natural lift effect.

Lower Face Contouring

Jawline enhancement has gained popularity as understanding of facial aesthetics has evolved. Strategic filler placement can create definition, reduce jowls, and balance facial proportions.

Periorbital Rejuvenation

Tear trough treatment requires particular expertise. The thin skin and proximity to important structures demand precise technique and appropriate product selection. Not everyone is a suitable candidate - sometimes skin quality or eye bag prominence makes other treatments more appropriate.

Safety and Selection

Choosing a local practitioner involves balancing convenience with expertise. Proximity matters for follow-up care, but shouldn't compromise on qualification and experience. Research your practitioner's training, before-and-after photos, and patient reviews.

Complications, while rare with experienced practitioners, can include bruising, swelling, and very rarely, vascular occlusion. Your practitioner should discuss these risks and their management protocols during consultation.
