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.'

The Bridal Glow- The Secret all 2025 Brides Are Gatekeeping

21 Jul

Written By Mariam Elalfy

Six months before her wedding, Sarah was doing what every excited bride does: diving deep into Pinterest boards full of gorgeous skin inspiration, building an impressive skincare routine, and dreaming about that perfect wedding day glow.

Then her wedding planner mentioned something intriguing called the "vampire facial"- a treatment that sounded mysterious but promised incredible results. Fast-forward to her wedding day, and Sarah's radiant skin became the star of every photo, with guests constantly asking for her secret.

Welcome to the wonderful world of PRP facials for brides, where cutting-edge science meets your wedding beauty dreams in the most exciting way possible.

Your Wedding Glow Journey Starts Here

Planning your dream wedding is one of life's most thrilling adventures, and looking absolutely radiant is naturally part of that excitement. Today's brides have access to incredible skincare innovations that previous generations could only dream of, and the results speak for themselves in those stunning wedding albums.

Modern brides typically start their beauty journey 6-12 months before the big day, which gives you the perfect opportunity to try innovative treatments that deliver real results. While traditional facials and skincare routines are lovely, many brides discover they want something more transformative for their special day.

Enter PRP facial therapy—an amazing treatment that harnesses your body's natural healing powers to give you that coveted bridal radiance. This exciting treatment addresses multiple skin goals simultaneously, from perfecting your complexion to achieving that gorgeous "lit-from-within" glow that photographs beautifully.

The Fascinating Science Behind the Vampire Facial

Don't let the dramatic name fool you—PRP facial therapy is absolutely fascinating and surprisingly gentle. The treatment works by drawing a small amount of your blood (just like a routine blood test), processing it to extract the platelet-rich plasma, and then reintroducing this powerful plasma to your skin through gentle micro-needling.

Here's the amazing part: your platelets contain incredible growth factors that naturally promote healing and cell regeneration. When we introduce this plasma back to your skin, it encourages fresh collagen production, improves texture, and creates that beautiful, natural radiance you're dreaming of.

The process is actually quite simple and completely natural—we're just amplifying what your body already does brilliantly. The term "Vampire Facial" might sound dramatic, but it's actually a non-surgical procedure that uses gentle, minimally invasive techniques to help you achieve stunning results.

Why Brides Are Absolutely Loving PRP

Traditional bridal beauty prep often involves juggling multiple treatments with varying results. But PRP offers something special that aligns perfectly with what modern brides are looking for:

Beautifully Natural Results: Unlike harsh treatments, PRP works with your body's own healing magic, so results look completely natural and gorgeous.

Total Skin Transformation: Rather than fixing just one thing, PRP enhances your overall skin health, texture, and radiance all at once—like having a professional photo filter, but real.

Long-Lasting Beauty: While regular facials give you a lovely glow for a few days, PRP actually stimulates new cell growth, giving you results that last for months.

Camera-Ready Perfection: The treatment creates the most beautiful canvas for your makeup and ensures you look absolutely stunning in every single photo.

The Exciting Science Behind Your Glow

Recent research confirms what brides have been discovering—PRP really works. A comprehensive review examining platelet-rich plasma for skin rejuvenation found that the treatment genuinely improves facial skin appearance, texture, and fine lines.

Even better, although improvements are typically modest (which means natural-looking, not overdone), patients consistently report being thrilled with their results. For brides, this combination of visible improvement and high satisfaction makes PRP absolutely perfect.

The treatment works its magic through several exciting mechanisms:

Collagen Boost: Growth factors in PRP encourage beautiful new collagen production, giving you firmer, smoother skin.

Cell Renewal: The gentle micro-needling triggers your body's natural healing response, promoting fresh, healthy new cells.

Enhanced Radiance: Better circulation means your skin gets more nutrients, creating that gorgeous natural glow.

Texture Perfection: Regular PRP treatments create beautifully smooth, even-toned skin that's absolutely perfect for close-up photos.

Real Brides Share Their Amazing Experiences

"I was so excited to try PRP after hearing amazing things," shares Emma, who had her fairy-tale wedding last autumn. "I'd tried other treatments that were nice but didn't give me the dramatic glow I was dreaming of. PRP was the game-changer that actually transformed my skin."

The key is having realistic expectations while getting genuinely excited about the possibilities. Research shows that microneedling combined with PRP can significantly improve acne scars and create beautifully plump, youthful-looking skin. The results develop gradually, which means you get to enjoy watching your skin transform throughout your engagement.

For the most stunning results, most brides love doing a series of 3-4 PRP treatments spaced a few weeks apart. The best results occur after a series of treatments given 4 to 6 weeks apart, so you'll see your glow getting better and better as your wedding approaches.

Your Perfect Bridal PRP Timeline

Timing your treatments is part of the fun of wedding planning. Since PRP can cause a bit of temporary redness (think post-workout glow), we plan everything perfectly so you look absolutely radiant on your special day.

6 Months Before Wedding: Your exciting PRP journey begins with a consultation and first treatment. This gives us time to see how beautifully your skin responds.

4-5 Months Before: Second session time. This is often when brides start getting compliments from friends about their gorgeous skin.

2-3 Months Before: Third treatment if you're loving the results. Perfect timing to maximise your glow.

3-4 Weeks Before Wedding: All treatments completed by now, ensuring you're absolutely radiant with no temporary redness.

Starting your PRP adventure several months before your wedding, with your final session about 3-4 weeks before the big day, gives you the most stunning results. We always schedule that last session at least 3-4 weeks before your wedding so any tiny bit of redness has completely disappeared.

Addressing Every Bride's Skin Dreams with PRP

Wedding planning is exhilarating, and sometimes all that excitement can show up on your skin. PRP beautifully addresses the concerns that matter most to brides:

Occasional Breakouts: PRP's gentle anti-inflammatory properties help calm skin and smooth away any blemishes.

Uneven Tone: The treatment helps create that perfectly even, gorgeous complexion you see in bridal magazines.

Stress Lines: Those growth factors work overtime to smooth away any fine lines and keep you looking fresh.

Tired-Looking Skin: Better circulation and cell renewal create the most beautiful natural radiance.

Pore Perfection: The treatment helps minimise pores, giving you that smooth, flawless look.

PRP therapy beautifully reduces acne scars and creates a clearer, smoother complexion that's absolutely perfect for your special day. For all skin tones, PRP facials help improve any uneven pigmentation and create stunning clarity.

Investment in Your Wedding Day Radiance

Your wedding is one of the most important investments you'll ever make, and your skin is definitely worth including in that budget. Quality PRP facials in London typically cost £300-700 per session, with most brides loving a series of 3-4 treatments.

Your Bridal Glow Investment:

Three sessions: £900-2,100
Four sessions: £1,200-2,800
Consultation: Usually included in your journey
Gorgeous results: Priceless

When you compare this to other wedding beauty treats, PRP offers incredible value:

Monthly Facials: £100-200 each for 6+ months

Chemical Peels: £150-400 each, often needing several

Makeup Trial: £150-300

Wedding Day Makeup: £300-800

"I actually spent more on my wedding shoes than my entire PRP series," laughs Sophie, who got married last year after a course of bridal PRP treatment. "But those amazing photos will be treasured forever, and I still get compliments on my skin from the wedding photos."

Safe, Gentle, and Perfect for Nervous Brides

We completely understand that trying something new before your wedding might feel a bit nerve-wracking. That's why PRP is absolutely perfect for brides—it's incredibly safe and gentle because it uses your own natural healing factors.

Our experienced practitioners make the entire experience comfortable and relaxing. We use numbing cream so you'll barely feel anything, and the whole process is done in a completely sterile, professional environment.

What to Expect (all temporary and mild):

A lovely post-treatment glow: 24-48 hours
Slight puffiness: 1-3 days (barely noticeable)
Tender skin: 2-4 days (like after a good workout)
Tiny bruising: Very rare, fades quickly if it happens

The treatment is genuinely comfortable and many brides find it quite relaxing. The micro-needling uses the tiniest needles, and with numbing cream, most brides say it feels like a gentle facial massage.

Combining PRP with Your Other Wedding Beauty Treats

Smart brides love integrating PRP into their complete beauty routine rather than relying on any single treatment. PRP works beautifully alongside other pampering treatments.

Perfect Combinations:

PRP + Luxurious Skincare: Using gorgeous, high-quality products enhances your PRP results beautifully.

PRP + LED Light Therapy: Some clinics offer this stunning combination to boost collagen and healing.

PRP + Monthly Facials: Gentle, hydrating facials between PRP sessions keep your skin glowing and give you lovely relaxation time.

What to Skip Temporarily:

Chemical peels for 2 weeks after PRP
Aggressive scrubs for a week
Too much sun (but you're probably avoiding that anyway for your wedding)
Brand new skincare products right after treatment

Looking Picture-Perfect in Every Photo

Your wedding photography is going to be absolutely stunning, from engagement shoots to ceremony moments and reception celebrations. With PRP, your skin will look incredible under any lighting conditions.

PRP helps with all those photography essentials:

Flash Photography: Even, gorgeous skin tone means every flash photo is flattering.

High-Definition Magic: Smooth skin texture ensures even the closest photos look amazing.

All-Day Beauty: Perfect skin provides the ideal base for makeup that stays gorgeous for 12+ hours.

Natural Light Goddess: Enhanced radiance means you'll glow beautifully in those dreamy outdoor shots.

"My photographer kept saying how beautifully my skin was photographing," beams Rachel, who married in 2023. "The natural light shots were absolutely gorgeous, and even those tricky reception lights looked amazing. I just seemed to have this natural glow in every single photo."

Setting Beautiful, Realistic Expectations

PRP offers genuinely wonderful benefits for bridal skin, and understanding what to expect makes the whole experience even more exciting. Here's what you can look forward to:

Your Amazing PRP Results:

Beautifully improved skin texture and tone
Gorgeous natural radiance that shines through
Softer appearance of fine lines
Perfect canvas for flawless makeup application
Lovely improvement in any scarring

The goal is to help you look like the most radiant, confident version of yourself on your special day.

Your Path to Bridal Radiance

For brides who want natural, beautiful skin improvement with lasting results, PRP offers something truly special. The combination of safety, effectiveness, and stunning natural-looking results makes it absolutely perfect for wedding preparation.

PRP is Perfect If You:

Love the idea of natural skin enhancement
Have 3+ months to enjoy the transformation
