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.

Jawline Filler: Defining Your Profile

31 Aug

Written By Omar Elalfy

Jawline enhancement with dermal fillers has become increasingly sophisticated, offering non-surgical definition and contouring. Understanding the anatomical considerations and techniques ensures natural-looking results.

Anatomical Considerations

The jawline comprises the mandible bone, overlying muscles (primarily masseter), and soft tissue. Age-related changes include bone resorption, soft tissue descent, and volume loss, creating jowls and loss of definition.

Understanding individual anatomy is crucial. Some patients have strong bone structure needing only subtle enhancement. Others require significant volumisation to create structure. Gender differences also influence treatment approach.

Gender-Specific Approaches

Masculine Enhancement

Male jawlines typically require sharp angles and strong definition. Treatment focuses on creating a squared appearance with prominent mandibular angles. More product is often needed to achieve masculine features.

The transition from jaw to neck should be distinct. Creating shadow beneath the jawline enhances masculine appearance. Chin projection often needs addressing simultaneously.

Feminine Contouring

Female jawline enhancement aims for softer contours while maintaining definition. The goal is often elongation rather than widening. Gentle curves replace sharp angles.

Treatment may focus more on smoothing jowls and creating continuous lines rather than angular definition. The overall effect should be elegant rather than strong.

Injection Techniques

Deep Structural Support

Placing filler on the periosteum provides foundation and lift. This deep placement creates structure while avoiding superficial irregularities. Using cannulas reduces bruising and allows smooth product distribution.

Layered Approach

Some practitioners use multiple products at different depths. Firm filler provides deep structure, while softer products smooth superficial irregularities. This sophisticated approach creates natural-looking results.

Vector Considerations

Injection vectors influence results significantly. Posterior vectors enhance projection, while inferior vectors improve definition. Understanding these relationships ensures optimal outcomes.

Product Selection

Different fillers suit different needs:

High G-prime fillers provide structure and lift
Moderate viscosity products create smooth contours
Calcium hydroxylapatite stimulates collagen for lasting improvement

Product choice depends on anatomy, desired outcome, and treatment philosophy.

Common Treatment Areas

Pre-Jowl Sulcus

This depression anterior to jowls creates interrupted jawline. Filling this area restores continuity, creating smoother contours. Care is needed to avoid worsening jowl appearance.

Angle Enhancement

Defining the gonial angle creates stronger jawlines. This requires careful product placement to avoid unnatural widening. The angle should complement overall facial proportions.

Mandibular Body

Treating along the mandible creates overall definition. This linear enhancement connects the chin to the angle, creating continuous improvement.

Combination Approaches

Chin Augmentation

The chin and jawline work together aesthetically. Treating both areas often provides superior results to isolated jawline enhancement. Proportional balance is key.

Neck Treatments

Combining jawline filler with neck treatments enhances results. Botox in the platysma, skin tightening, or Kybella for submental fat complement jawline definition.

Cheek Considerations

Mid-face volume influences jawline appearance. Restoring cheek volume can improve jawline definition by lifting tissues and reducing jowl prominence.

Treatment Planning

Successful jawline enhancement requires careful planning:

Assess bone structure and soft tissue
Consider facial proportions
Determine realistic goals
Plan product volumes and placement

Computer imaging can help visualise potential results and guide treatment.

Expected Results

Immediate results are visible but not final. Swelling distorts initial appearance. True results emerge after 2-3 weeks as swelling resolves and filler integrates.

Most patients require 2-6ml total for noticeable enhancement. Building gradually over multiple sessions often yields more natural results than aggressive initial treatment.

Longevity

Jawline fillers typically last 12-18 months, potentially longer due to limited movement in this area. Some products stimulate collagen, providing benefits beyond filler duration.

Regular maintenance preserves results. Touch-ups every 9-12 months often require less product than initial treatment.
