How is The London PRP Clinic different from other PRP clinics in London?

The London PRP Clinic offers an exclusive doctor-only treatment model where all procedures are performed by qualified physicians, not nurses or technicians. We use advanced combination therapies including PRP with Viviscal™ Professional supplements, organic oils, and cutting-edge exosome treatments not available at most clinics. Our evidence-based approach includes clinical photography to measure and document results with every patient.

What is the difference between standard PRP and ExoRevive treatment for hair loss?

While our advanced PRP treatment uses your own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate hair growth, ExoRevive treatment uses exosomes—tiny cell messengers containing over 1,000 growth factors and signaling proteins that communicate with hair follicles. Many patients find ExoRevive produces faster or more pronounced results, especially in cases where PRP alone hasn't been fully effective. We often recommend combining both for optimal results.

How many PRP treatments will I need for hair restoration?

Most patients require 3-4 initial PRP treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. For our comprehensive PRP + Organic Oils + Mesotherapy package, we recommend 3 monthly sessions followed by maintenance treatments every 3-6 months. Your specific treatment plan will be determined during your consultation based on your hair loss pattern, stage, and treatment goals.

How do you ensure the quality of PRP used in your treatments?

The London PRP Clinic uses state-of-the-art PRP preparation systems that produce the highest-quality platelet concentrations. Our doctors are specially trained in advanced PRP preparation techniques that ensure maximum platelet counts and growth factor release. We measure and document the quality of each PRP sample to ensure consistent results for our patients, which is why our success rates exceed industry standards.

Are your treatments covered by medical insurance?

Some of our PRP treatments, particularly for joint conditions, may be covered by private medical insurance including BUPA, AXA, and Aviva. Hair restoration treatments are typically considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. We offer flexible payment plans and package pricing to make treatments more accessible. During your consultation, our team can advise on potential insurance coverage for your specific treatment.

Is there any downtime after PRP or exosome treatments?

Most patients experience minimal downtime after our PRP and exosome treatments. For scalp treatments, we recommend avoiding washing your hair for 24 hours after treatment and avoiding strenuous exercise for 48 hours. Some patients may experience mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites for 1-2 days. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, making it truly a 'lunchtime procedure.'

PRP Treatment Costs in London - The Complete Price Guide

12 Jul

Written By Omar Elalfy

Let's talk about what nobody wants to discuss openly—money. You're considering PRP but every clinic seems cagey about pricing. Some quote £200, others £1,000 for what sounds like the same treatment. What's the real cost? What should you actually pay? And is it worth it?

Here's a transparent breakdown of PRP pricing in London, what affects cost, and how to determine if you're getting value or getting ripped off.

Real PRP Prices in London

Based on surveying 20+ reputable London clinics, here's what patients actually pay:

Hair Loss PRP

Per session: £400-800
3-session package: £1,000-2,000
Maintenance session: £350-600

Facial PRP (Vampire Facial)

Basic PRP facial: £300-500
PRP with microneedling: £400-700
Under-eye specific: £350-550

Joint/Injury PRP

Single joint: £500-900
Multiple joints: £800-1,500
Sports injury: £600-1,000

Other Areas

Neck/décolletage: £400-600
Hands: £400-600
Stretch marks: £500-800
Sexual wellness: £600-1,200

Why Such Big Price Ranges?

The £200 PRP facial and £800 one aren't the same treatment. Here's what affects pricing:

Platelet Concentration Cheap clinics use basic centrifuges achieving 1.5-2x concentration. Premium clinics achieve 5-8x concentration. Higher concentration = better results = higher cost.

Blood Volume Budget treatments use 10-20ml blood. Optimal protocols use 30-60ml. More blood = more growth factors = better outcomes.

Provider Expertise Nurse injector: Lower prices but variable experience Specialist doctor: Higher prices, better results Teaching hospital consultants: Highest prices, most expertise

Location and Overheads Zone 1 Harley Street: Premium pricing Suburban clinics: 20-30% cheaper Hospital settings: Often most expensive

What You're Actually Paying For

Breaking down a typical £600 hair PRP session:

Medical consultation: £100-150 value
Blood draw supplies: £20-30
Centrifuge processing: £50-100
Injections by qualified professional: £200-300
Sterile environment/equipment: £50-100
Follow-up care: £50-80

Suddenly £600 seems more reasonable than £200.

Red Flags for Too-Cheap PRP

Be suspicious of PRP under £300 per session. They're likely:

Using inadequate equipment
Rushing treatments (20 minutes vs proper 60)
Having unqualified staff perform injections
Not achieving therapeutic platelet levels
Skipping important safety protocols

"I tried £199 PRP first," admits David, 38. "Complete waste. No results. Proper clinic charged £650 but actually worked. Expensive lesson in you get what you pay for."

When Premium Pricing Is Worth It

Higher prices sometimes justified for:

Complex cases requiring expertise
Advanced protocols (exosomes, combination treatments)
Renowned specialists with proven results
Comprehensive packages including follow-up
Difficult treatment areas

But expensive doesn't always mean better. Some clinics charge premium prices for standard treatments in fancy settings.

Package Deals vs Single Sessions

Most clinics offer package discounts:

Hair Loss

Single session: £600
3-session package: £1,500 (£500 each)
6-session package: £2,700 (£450 each)

Packages make sense if you're committed. But try one session first to ensure you respond well and like the clinic.

Hidden Costs to Consider

The advertised price might not include:

Consultation fees (£50-200)
Numbing cream (£20-40)
Follow-up appointments (£50-100)
Parking in central London (£20-40)
Time off work for recovery

Budget an extra 20% above quoted prices for full cost.

Comparing PRP Value to Alternatives

Hair Loss

Minoxidil yearly: £200-400 forever
Finasteride yearly: £300-500 with side effects
Hair transplant: £5,000-20,000 one time
PRP: £2,000 year one, £800/year maintenance

Facial Rejuvenation

Good skincare yearly: £1,000+ ongoing
Botox quarterly: £1,200-2,000 yearly
Filler yearly: £800-2,000 with risks
PRP: £1,200 yearly with natural results

Joint Pain

Physiotherapy course: £500-1,000 temporary relief
Cortisone injections: £200-400 damaging long-term
Surgery: £10,000-20,000 major procedure
PRP: £1,500-2,500 potential permanent improvement

Insurance and Payment Options

NHS doesn't cover cosmetic PRP. Private insurance rarely covers except for:

Sports injuries (sometimes)
Post-surgical healing
Some joint conditions

Many clinics offer:

Payment plans (0% finance over 3-12 months)
Package payment spreading
Corporate wellness discounts

How to Get Best Value

Research Thoroughly Check provider credentials, read genuine reviews (not just website testimonials), and ask about their specific protocols and equipment.

Consultation First Good clinics offer honest assessments. If they guarantee results for everyone, run. About 20% of people don't respond well to PRP.

Start Conservative Try one session before committing to packages. Ensures you respond well and trust the provider.

Factor Total Investment Include consultation, treatment series, and maintenance. Hair might be £3,000 total over 2 years. Face might be £2,000 yearly ongoing.

Consider Combination Deals Some clinics discount multiple areas. Face + neck or multiple joints treated together.

What Patients Say About Value

Emma, 41: "Spent £2,400 on three facial PRP sessions. Expensive but I've stopped Botox and filler. Natural results worth every penny."

Mark, 35: "£1,800 for hair PRP seemed insane. But I was spending £300/year on useless supplements. Two years later, still have hair. Bargain retrospectively."

Sarah, 48: "Tried cheap PRP twice with no results. Switched to proper clinic charging double. Finally worked. Learned cheap PRP is expensive mistake."

The Bottom Line on Cost

Quality PRP in London costs:

Hair: £400-800 per session
Face: £300-700 per session
Joints: £500-900 per treatment

Cheaper exists but often disappoints. More expensive doesn't guarantee better results beyond certain quality threshold.

Budget £1,500-3,000 for initial treatment series plus £500-1,000 yearly maintenance. Significant investment but comparable to other aesthetic treatments with arguably better long-term value.
