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.

Do PRP Facial Results Last?

When it comes to skincare, everyone’s looking for that natural glow—a look that’s radiant, refreshed, and revitalized. One of the treatments that’s been making waves for achieving this is the PRP facial, also known as the "vampire facial." This non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure uses the body’s own regenerative properties to enhance skin tone, reduce fine lines, and improve overall texture. But a common question people have is: How long do PRP facial results last?

Let’s explore the science behind PRP facials, how long you can expect to see results, and how to maximize your glow with tips on maintaining your PRP facial benefits.

What is a PRP Facial, and How Does It Work?

A PRP facial involves using your body’s own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate and repair the skin. During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and then processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. This plasma is then re-injected or microneedled into the skin, where it stimulates collagen production, enhances blood flow, and encourages cellular turnover. The result? A firmer, more radiant complexion (Alves & Grimalt, 2018).

Research shows that PRP’s growth factors, such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), play a vital role in skin regeneration and collagen synthesis. This helps improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and provide a natural, long-lasting glow (Elnehrawy et al., 2020).

How Long Do PRP Facial Results Typically Last?

The longevity of PRP facial results can vary, but most patients report seeing initial improvements in skin texture and tone within a few weeks. Full results, including enhanced collagen production and reduced fine lines, are typically seen around 3 months after treatment. However, studies show that the effects of PRP facials can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months (Redaelli et al., 2018).

Here’s a general breakdown of the timeline for PRP facial results:

Immediate Results: You’ll notice an initial glow due to mild swelling and the initial boost from PRP. This glow is often visible within a few days and lasts about a week.
3 to 6 Months: This is when collagen production is in full swing, leading to tighter, firmer, and more youthful skin. By this point, you’ll notice a more substantial improvement in texture, tone, and reduction of fine lines (Sclafani, 2016).
6 to 12 Months: Results gradually fade as collagen levels return to baseline, but many patients still report visible skin quality improvements compared to pre-treatment levels up to a year later.

How to Maximize and Maintain Your PRP Facial Results

While PRP facials offer a lasting boost, there are steps you can take to extend the benefits of your treatment and enjoy long-term results. Here are a few tips recommended by The London PRP Clinic:

Follow a Consistent Skincare Routine: Regular moisturizing, sun protection, and gentle exfoliation help maintain PRP’s effects on your skin.
Consider Maintenance Treatments: Many patients choose to schedule a PRP facial every 6 to 12 months to keep their skin in top condition. This frequency provides ongoing collagen stimulation, which helps slow down the natural aging process (Porayko et al., 2019).
Healthy Lifestyle Choices: A balanced diet, staying hydrated, and reducing alcohol and smoking can help prolong PRP results. The healthier your lifestyle, the better your skin’s ability to repair and maintain its structure.
Combine PRP with Other Treatments: At The London PRP Clinic, we often combine PRP with other non-invasive treatments like microneedling or hyaluronic acid fillers to enhance results. Microneedling with PRP, for example, can improve the absorption of growth factors into the skin, leading to a more profound rejuvenation effect (Kaur et al., 2019).

How Many PRP Facials Are Needed to See Long-Term Results?

The number of sessions needed varies depending on your skin goals and age. Most people start with an initial series of 3 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by annual or semi-annual maintenance sessions. Clinical studies suggest that a series of treatments offers greater collagen-building benefits and more sustainable results compared to a single session alone (Gentile et al., 2020).

If you’re looking for a natural way to rejuvenate your skin, PRP facials offer an effective option that enhances your skin’s health from the inside out. This treatment is ideal for those who want a refreshed, youthful look without relying on synthetic chemicals or invasive procedures.
