PRP treatment prices at The London PRP Clinic range from £395 for PRP Hair Signature or Beard PRP single sessions, to £545 for comprehensive treatments. We offer package discounts - for example, 3 PRP Hair sessions cost £1,085 (save £100).

PRP for Acne Scars

17 Feb

Written By Omar Elalfy

PRP treatment for acne scars uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. The London PRP Clinic offers doctor-led PRP for acne scarring from £395, often combined with microneedling for enhanced results.

How PRP Treats Acne Scars

The Mechanism:

Acne scars form when skin's collagen structure is damaged. PRP works by:

Delivering growth factors that stimulate new collagen
Promoting cellular regeneration
Increasing blood flow to scarred areas
Triggering natural healing response
Improving skin texture and tone

Types of Scars PRP Treats:

Rolling scars (wave-like depressions)
Boxcar scars (broad depressions with defined edges)
Shallow ice pick scars
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
General skin texture irregularities

Less Effective For:

Deep ice pick scars (may need additional treatments)
Keloid scars
Very old, fibrous scarring

PRP with Microneedling for Acne Scars

Why Combine Them:

Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, allowing PRP to penetrate deeper. This combination:

Enhances PRP absorption
Creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen
Delivers growth factors directly to scar tissue
Produces better results than either treatment alone

The Process:

Blood drawn and PRP prepared
Numbing cream applied (30 minutes)
Microneedling performed across treatment area
PRP applied and massaged into skin
Treatment takes approximately 60 minutes

Results for Acne Scars

What to Expect:

Improvement typically visible after 2-3 sessions
Skin texture smooths over 2-4 months
Collagen continues building for 6+ months
Best results with course of 3-4 treatments

Realistic Outcomes:

30-50% improvement in scar appearance (typical)
Smoother skin texture
More even skin tone
Reduced scar depth

PRP won't eliminate scars completely but can significantly improve their appearance.

Treatment Protocol for Acne Scars

Initial Course:

3-4 sessions
Spaced 4-6 weeks apart
Allows healing and collagen building between sessions

Maintenance:

Optional top-up sessions every 6-12 months
Preserves and enhances results

Pricing

PRP Facial (Including Scar Treatment): £395

PRP with Microneedling: £450

Course of 3 Sessions: £1,150 (save £200)

Who Is a Good Candidate

Ideal For:

Mild to moderate acne scarring
Rolling and boxcar scars
Those who've completed active acne treatment
Patients seeking natural approach
Those wanting gradual, natural-looking improvement

Consultation Recommended If:

Severe or deep scarring (may need combination treatments)
Active acne (treat acne first)
History of keloid scarring
Currently on certain medications (e.g., isotretinoin)
