PRP Cost Guide London - What You Should Expect to Pay
You are interested in PRP but need to know the cost. Searching online gives you a confusing range from surprisingly cheap to eye-wateringly expensive. What should PRP actually cost?
Here is an honest guide to PRP pricing in London, what affects cost, and what you should expect for your money.
Why PRP Prices Vary
PRP is not a commodity product. Quality varies significantly, and so does pricing.
Equipment quality affects cost. Medical-grade PRP systems are expensive to purchase and maintain. Their consumables cost more than basic centrifuge kits. But they produce better quality PRP.
Practitioner expertise affects cost. Experienced doctors charge more than newly qualified practitioners. Specialists with additional training charge more than generalists.
Clinic overhead affects cost. Central London locations cost more to run than suburban clinics. Premium facilities cost more than basic rooms.
What is included affects apparent cost. Some clinics quote treatment only. Others include consultation, follow-up, and aftercare. Compare like with like.
Cheapest is rarely best. Very low prices usually indicate inferior equipment, less experienced practitioners, or hidden charges.

PRP Hair Treatment Pricing
Single session: Typically £350 to £600 in London.
Package of three sessions: Typically £900 to £1500.
Factors affecting hair PRP price include area treated (full scalp costs more than targeted areas), practitioner seniority, equipment used, and whether numbing is included.
Most patients need three to four initial sessions plus maintenance. Budget for the full course, not just one treatment.
Combining PRP with Nutrafol supplementation adds to cost but often improves results.
PRP Facial Treatment Pricing
PRP facial injection: Typically £300 to £500 per session.
Vampire facial (PRP with microneedling): Typically £400 to £650 per session.
Package of three sessions: Typically £1000 to £1600.
Factors affecting facial PRP price include treatment area (face only versus including neck), whether microneedling is included, product quality, and practitioner expertise.
A series of three treatments is standard. Maintenance every six to twelve months adds ongoing cost.
PRP Joint Injection Pricing
Single joint injection: Typically £500 to £700.
Factors affecting joint PRP price include joint complexity (spine more than knee more than elbow), whether ultrasound guidance is used (it should be), consultation and imaging review, and follow-up appointments.
Most patients need one to three injections. Some joints respond to single treatment. Others need a series.
What Should Be Included
A fair PRP price should include initial consultation (sometimes separate fee that applies to treatment cost), the PRP treatment itself, quality PRP preparation (not basic centrifuge), appropriate technique and imaging guidance where relevant, and aftercare advice.
Some clinics also include follow-up consultation. Clarify this when comparing.

Warning Signs on Pricing
Too cheap: Prices significantly below market rate suggest inferior equipment, inexperienced practitioners, or hidden charges. Quality PRP has a minimum cost to deliver properly.
Hidden charges: Quote for treatment only, then consultation, numbing, dressings, and follow-up are extra. Always ask for total cost.
High-pressure package sales: Pushing expensive packages before you have had one treatment or even a proper consultation.
No clear pricing available: Having to attend a consultation to find out prices often indicates high-pressure sales environment.
Is PRP Worth the Cost?
Value depends on results. Quality PRP delivering meaningful improvement is worth paying for. Cheap PRP that does not work is wasted money.
Consider cost per outcome rather than just cost per treatment. Three sessions of quality PRP producing visible improvement is better value than six sessions of cheap PRP producing nothing.
PRP often compares favourably to alternatives. Hair transplant costs significantly more. Surgical joint procedures cost more and have longer recovery. Repeated steroid injections may cost less per injection but need more frequent repetition.
Financing Options
Some clinics offer payment plans for treatment packages. Interest-free options make spreading cost easier.
Medical credit providers offer financing for aesthetic and medical treatments.
We can discuss payment options during consultation.
Our Pricing Philosophy
We price fairly for quality treatment. Not the cheapest because we do not cut corners. Not the most expensive because we do not overcharge.
Our prices reflect medical-grade equipment, experienced practitioners, proper consultation, appropriate follow-up, and transparent all-inclusive pricing.
We would rather treat patients properly at fair prices than attract people with low prices then deliver substandard treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is PRP not available on the NHS? PRP is considered a private treatment. NHS funding prioritises treatments with stronger evidence bases, though this is gradually changing.
Does insurance cover PRP? Most private insurance does not currently cover PRP. Some policies may cover joint injections in certain circumstances. Check with your insurer.
Can I pay per session or do I need to buy a package? We offer both options. Packages provide better value if you commit to a full course. Single sessions offer flexibility.
What if I cannot afford the recommended number of sessions? Some treatment is better than none. We can discuss modified protocols for budget constraints.
Do you offer consultations to discuss pricing before committing? Yes. Consultation allows us to assess your situation and provide specific pricing for what you need.
