PRP Facial in London: Who It Suits, What to Expect, and the Fee

Written by Sama Samy

A PRP facial suits adults who would like to improve skin texture, fine lines, mild acne scarring or dullness, using a treatment based on their own blood. It begins with a doctor's assessment of your skin, your medical history and your goals, so the plan is right for you. At The London PRP Clinic a PRP facial is £525, carried out by a doctor.

Key points

  • A PRP facial combines microneedling with platelets from your own blood.

  • It is aimed at texture, fine lines, mild scarring and glow.

  • Redness for a day or two afterwards is common.

  • A PRP facial is £525 at The London PRP Clinic.

  • Results vary between people and build over several weeks.

Who is a PRP facial for?

It may suit adults with uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, mild acne scars or skin that looks tired. It is not suitable during an active acne flare, with an active skin infection, or for some people with certain blood or skin conditions, which your doctor will check.

What does the doctor's assessment include?

  • A close look at your skin and the concerns that matter most to you

  • A medical history, including medicines, skin conditions and any history of cold sores

  • A discussion of what a PRP facial can and cannot achieve

  • Advice on other options if they are more likely to suit you

  • A plan agreed with you, including whether a short course may help

How does a PRP facial work?

A small sample of your blood is spun to concentrate the platelets. The skin is then treated with microneedling, which creates tiny channels in the surface, and the platelet concentrate is applied so it can reach the deeper layers. Microneedling on its own encourages the skin to repair, and the platelets are thought to support that process with their growth factors.

How much does a PRP facial cost?

A PRP facial is £525 at The London PRP Clinic. This covers the blood sample, the preparation of the platelets, the microneedling and the treatment itself, carried out by a doctor.

If you would like us to prepare for your consultation, you are welcome to send clear photos of your skin in good light when you message us, so your doctor can see the starting point. Photos help us plan your appointment, and your doctor's advice is given at the consultation itself.

What happens on the day?

Numbing cream is applied while a small blood sample is taken and prepared. The skin is cleaned, the microneedling is carried out across the treatment area, and the platelet concentrate is applied. The visit usually takes around an hour and a half.

What should I expect afterwards?

The skin is usually red and warm, similar to mild sunburn, for a day or two. Your doctor will advise you to avoid make-up for a short time, use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser, and protect your skin from the sun. Any improvement in texture and glow builds gradually over the following weeks.

Is it safe?

Because the platelets come from your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low. There is a small risk of infection, pigment change or a flare of cold sores, which is why your doctor checks your history first and gives clear aftercare advice.

How do I look after my skin between sessions?

Gentle cleansing, a simple moisturiser and daily sun protection give the skin the best chance to repair. Avoid harsh scrubs, peels and retinoids for a few days after treatment unless your doctor advises otherwise, and let any redness settle before wearing make-up.

How do I arrange a consultation?

Send us a message on WhatsApp and we will offer you the earliest appointment with one of our doctors at our clinics in Marylebone or Belgravia. At your first visit the doctor assesses you and agrees a plan with you before any treatment, so you know exactly what is recommended, why, and what it will cost.

After each session you receive clear aftercare advice in writing, and our team books your reviews and any further sessions, so your plan stays on track without you having to chase it.
