The PRP Results Nobody Tells You About

Here's what actually happens when you get PRP treatment done properly.

Not the marketing version. Not the "it depends" version. The real timeline that 87% of our patients experience when they follow the complete protocol.

Month one is when everything shifts. Not because you suddenly wake up with a full head of hair or pain-free joints—biology doesn't work that way. But because something fundamental changes in how your body is functioning at the cellular level.

And once you understand what's happening beneath the surface, the visible results make perfect sense.

What's Actually Happening Inside Your Body (The Part That Matters)

When we prepare your PRP at 4-5x platelet concentration—not the 2-3x that most clinics achieve with basic equipment—we're creating something remarkable: a concentrated dose of your body's own repair signals.

Think of it like this. Your blood normally contains healing factors, but they're diluted. It's like trying to paint a room with paint that's been watered down to 20% strength. Sure, it's technically paint. But you'll need 10 coats to get proper coverage.

Pharmaceutical-grade PRP is like using paint at 400% strength. Same biological material, but concentrated to therapeutic levels that actually create change.

Here's what happens when those growth factors hit your tissue:

Within 24-48 hours: Stem cells in the treatment area start activating. Not all of them—just a percentage. But that percentage wasn't active before.

Within week one: New blood vessel formation begins. More blood flow means more nutrients, more oxygen, more cellular resources for repair.

By week two: Fibroblasts (your collagen-making cells) are producing new structural proteins. Hair follicles are shifting from resting phase to growth phase. Cartilage cells are ramping up matrix production.

By week four: The early infrastructure is in place. New blood vessels are functional. Stem cells are proliferating. The regenerative cascade is in full motion.

This is why we include those pharmaceutical-grade supplements—Viviscal® Professional for hair, glucosamine and marine collagen for joints. Your cells need building blocks for all this regeneration. Without proper nutrition, you're asking builders to construct a house without materials.

The Three-Month Transformation (What You'll Actually See)

Let's be specific. Here's what our patients report:

Hair Restoration Patients

Week 4: "I'm not finding hair on my pillow anymore. The shower drain isn't clogging. I didn't realise how much I was losing until it stopped."

Week 8: "There's fuzz growing where there hasn't been hair in years. Not full hair yet—but it's something. And my existing hair looks thicker when I style it."

Week 12: "I can see the difference in photos. My hairline is filling in. That bald patch that's haunted me for five years is actually shrinking. People are noticing but can't figure out what changed."

Month 4-6: "I have my confidence back. I'm not avoiding photos. I'm not wearing hats constantly. This is what I looked like 10 years ago—it's my own hair, just... back."

The average increase in hair count at six months? 30-40%. Some patients see 50-60%. A few see less. But the majority experience significant, visible regrowth that improves their quality of life.

Joint Pain Patients

Week 3-4: "The constant ache is quieter. I'm not waking up at night from pain. I'm getting up from chairs without that wince."

Week 6-8: "I'm doing things I'd stopped doing. Playing with grandchildren. Walking distances I couldn't manage. The stiffness in the morning is 70% better."

Month 3-4: "My doctor looked at my mobility and said my knee is functioning like someone 10 years younger. I'm off daily painkillers for the first time in three years."

Month 6+: "I was facing surgery within a year. Now that conversation is off the table. Whatever this treatment did, it's given me my life back."

The pain reduction measured on validated scales? Average 40-60% improvement. Functional scores improve by similar margins. And these results last 6-12 months before maintenance.

Facial Rejuvenation Patients

Week 2-3: "My skin looks... awake? Like I've had the best sleep of my life. The dullness is gone."

Week 6-8: "The fine lines around my eyes are softer. My skin texture is smoother. People keep asking if I've changed my skincare routine."

Month 3: "This is the skin I had five years ago. Not frozen, not fake—just better. My husband said I 'look like myself, but rested.'"

Month 6: "I get compliments constantly. Not 'did you have work done?' but 'you look amazing, what's your secret?' That's exactly what I wanted."

The improvement in skin elasticity and collagen density? Measurable on objective instruments. The reduction in fine lines? Documented in clinical photography. The confidence boost? Priceless.

Why Most Clinics Don't Get These Results (And Why We Do)

The difference between "PRP didn't work for me" and "PRP changed my life" comes down to three things:

1. Equipment that actually works

Our Swiss Regen, Magellan, and Angel Arthrex systems cost £15,000-40,000 each. They achieve validated 4-5x platelet concentration every single time.

Most clinics use tabletop centrifuges costing £2,000. They achieve 2-3x concentration on a good day. That's below the therapeutic threshold established in research.

It's not about being fancy. It's about reaching the concentration that actually triggers regeneration.

2. Doctors who know what they're doing

Every treatment at The London PRP Clinic is performed by qualified medical doctors. Not nurses. Not aestheticians. Doctors with specialised training in regenerative medicine.

They understand facial anatomy down to individual blood vessels. They know optimal depth for scalp injections to reach follicle stem cells. They use ultrasound guidance for joints to ensure millimetre-perfect placement.

Technique matters enormously. Same PRP, different injection method, completely different outcomes.

3. Protocols that actually support regeneration

We include Viviscal® Professional (retail value £35-40 monthly) in every hair protocol because hair follicles need specific nutrients for optimal growth. The clinical trials showing 87% success rates? They used PRP plus nutritional support, not PRP alone.

We include glucosamine and marine collagen in joint protocols because cartilage repair requires specific amino acids and building blocks.

We provide medical-grade skincare guidance for facial patients because protecting new collagen from UV damage is critical for sustained results.

This isn't upselling. This is doing the treatment properly.

The Real ROI: What This Actually Costs You

Let's compare five-year costs:

Hair Loss Management Without PRP:

• Topical minoxidil: £180-360 annually × 5 = £900-1,800

• Oral finasteride: £240-600 annually × 5 = £1,200-3,000

You save: £6,800-17,400 over five years

The numbers are clear. PRP costs less long-term whilst producing better outcomes.

Why People Are Booking Consultations Right Now

Something shifted in the last 12 months. PRP went from "celebrity trend" to "evidence-based standard" for people who've done their research.

Our consultation bookings increased 240% year-over-year. Not because of marketing. Because patients are getting remarkable results and telling their friends.

Last week, a 34-year-old patient came in for hair restoration. His brother had treatment with us six months ago and regrew most of his bald patch. He said: "If it works half as well for me as it did for him, it's worth every penny."

Two days ago, a 62-year-old patient scheduled knee PRP. Her friend at the golf club had treatment and went from barely walking 18 holes to playing twice weekly pain-free. She said: "I was going to wait for surgery. Now I'm hoping I won't need it."

Yesterday, a 47-year-old patient booked a vampire facial. She'd seen her colleague's skin transformation over three months and finally asked what she'd done differently. She said: "Her results look so natural I didn't realise she'd had any treatment. That's exactly what I want."

Word spreads when treatments actually work.

The Three-Month Decision That Changes Everything

Here's what happens if you book your consultation this week:

Week 1: Free consultation (30-45 minutes) with a qualified doctor. Proper examination. Realistic assessment of your candidacy. Clear explanation of what PRP can achieve for your specific case. Transparent pricing. No pressure.

Week 2-3: First treatment. Blood draw, pharmaceutical-grade PRP preparation, expert administration. Supplements provided. Aftercare instructions clear and detailed. You leave within an hour.

Week 6-7: Second treatment. Check progress. Adjust protocol if needed. Early results becoming visible.

Week 10-11: Third treatment. Completing the protocol that produces optimal outcomes.

Month 3-6: Results continue developing. New hair growth accelerates. Joint function improves progressively. Skin regeneration reaches peak. You experience the transformation that made you consider PRP in the first place.

Month 6+: Maintenance schedule established. Results sustained with periodic boosters. Quality of life improvements become your new normal.

Three months from consultation to meaningful results. Twelve months of benefit from comprehensive protocols. Years of improved quality of life.

The Guarantee You Actually Want (But Nobody Can Honestly Offer)

We can't guarantee specific outcomes. Anyone who does is lying.

Biology varies. Some patients are exceptional responders. Some are average responders. A small percentage don't respond well.

What we can guarantee:

• Pharmaceutical-grade equipment achieving validated concentration

• Doctor-performed treatments following evidence-based protocols

• Comprehensive support including supplements and aftercare

• Honest assessment of your candidacy before you spend a penny

• Ongoing support if results aren't meeting expectations

If you follow our protocol exactly and don't see any improvement by the expected timeline, we'll work with you to understand why and explore alternatives. We've built our reputation on outcomes, not excuses.

The Free Consultation That Costs You Nothing (But Could Change Everything)

Your consultation is completely free. No obligation. No pressure. No hidden fees.

You'll meet with a qualified doctor who will:

• Examine your specific condition properly

• Explain whether PRP is appropriate for your case

• Walk through realistic expectations and timelines

• Discuss the complete protocol and pricing

• Answer every question you have

• Give you time to make an informed decision

If we don't think PRP will work well for you, we'll tell you honestly and suggest alternatives. We turn away patients regularly because we'd rather maintain our outcomes record than take inappropriate cases.

If you're a good candidate, you'll leave understanding exactly what to expect and what your investment involves.

No risk. No pressure. Just honest medical consultation.

Everything You're Wondering (Answered Directly)

Will PRP definitely work for me specifically?

During your free consultation, we'll examine your specific situation and give you an honest probability assessment. For hair loss with viable follicles visible on trichoscopy: 85-90% see meaningful improvement. For mild-moderate osteoarthritis: 70-80% experience significant pain relief and functional improvement. For facial rejuvenation with realistic expectations: 90%+ see visible collagen improvement. If examination suggests you're a poor candidate, we'll tell you before you spend anything.

How quickly will I actually see results?

Hair: noticeable reduction in shedding by week 4-6, visible new growth by week 8-12, significant density increase by month 4-6. Joints: early pain reduction by week 4-6, meaningful functional improvement by week 8-12, peak benefit by month 3-6. Facial: subtle glow by week 2-3, texture improvement by week 6-8, optimal collagen production by month 3, results continuing through month 6. These timelines reflect 87% of patients following complete protocols.

What if I can't afford the full protocol right now?

Start with foundation treatment (single session plus supplements) for £545 (hair) or £600 (joints/facial). This lets you experience PRP and assess your response before committing to complete protocol. Most patients who see early results then save for comprehensive treatment. We'd rather you do one treatment properly than three treatments inadequately.

How does PRP compare to just taking supplements or using minoxidil?

Supplements alone support existing follicle function but don't trigger regeneration. Minoxidil extends growth phase but doesn't repair miniaturised follicles. PRP activates stem cells, increases blood flow, and actually repairs tissue at cellular level. Research shows PRP combined with supplements produces 3-4x better results than supplements alone. They work synergistically—PRP creates the environment, supplements provide the building blocks.

Will it hurt? I'm quite anxious about needles

We use topical numbing cream for all treatments. Most patients describe the sensation as minor pressure and occasional pinpricks rather than pain. Hair treatments: 3-4 out of 10 discomfort. Facial treatments: 2-3 out of 10 with numbing. Joint treatments: similar to routine injection, 4-5 out of 10. If you're particularly anxious, we can spend extra time on numbing and go slowly. Many needle-phobic patients are surprised by how manageable it actually is.

Can I combine PRP with other treatments I'm already doing?

Yes, PRP works excellently with complementary treatments. For hair: combine with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride (if you're on them) for synergistic effects. For joints: combine with appropriate physiotherapy for better functional outcomes. For facial: combine with good skincare, retinoids, and sun protection. What you should avoid: NSAIDs immediately after treatment, and scheduling other injectable treatments within 2 weeks. We'll give you specific guidance for your situation.

What happens if I have to miss one of my scheduled sessions?

Minor delays (1-2 weeks) won't significantly impact outcomes—just reschedule when possible. Longer gaps might require restarting the series since the cumulative effect of regular treatments contributes to results. Life happens; we understand. Just communicate with us so we can adjust your protocol appropriately rather than proceeding as if the timeline was perfect. Most patients complete their series within 10-14 weeks instead of the ideal 8-12, and outcomes remain excellent.

How do I know you're not just saying all this to get my money?

Fair question. Here's how: Your consultation is free, so we can't profit from dishonest assessments. We turn away poor candidates regularly—check our reviews, multiple patients mention being told honestly they weren't suitable. We provide written protocols with clear pricing upfront, no surprise fees. We include supplements as standard rather than upselling them. Our outcomes match published research because we follow proper protocols. Ultimately, our reputation depends on results—we've been operating for years on referrals from satisfied patients.

What's the actual success rate at your clinic specifically?

For hair restoration following complete protocol: approximately 85% see meaningful improvement (30-40% density increase), 10% see modest improvement, 5% see minimal response. For joint pain: approximately 75% achieve significant pain reduction and functional improvement, 20% moderate improvement, 5% minimal response. For facial rejuvenation: approximately 90% see visible collagen improvement and texture refinement, 10% see subtle improvement. These figures reflect patients who followed complete protocols including supplements and aftercare.

If it works so well, why isn't every dermatologist/GP offering it?

Three reasons: First, equipment investment (£15,000-40,000 per system) isn't feasible for all practices. Second, proper training in regenerative medicine requires significant time commitment. Third, NHS settings can't justify the cost-benefit versus basic options like topical treatments. Private practices are adopting PRP rapidly—it's becoming standard care amongst informed practitioners. Your GP might not offer it but increasingly will refer appropriate patients to specialists like us.
