How much does PRP hair treatment cost at The London PRP Clinic?

£545 per session for our comprehensive PRP hair treatment, which includes Viviscal™ Professional supplements and organic hair oils. Most patients need 3-4 initial sessions. ExoRevive treatment is £445 per session.

Is PRP better than a hair transplant?

PRP is better for early-stage hair loss (Norwood 1-4) as it's non-surgical with no downtime and costs £545 vs £3,000-15,000 for transplants. Hair transplants are better for advanced hair loss (Norwood 5-7) but require surgery and 2 weeks recovery. Many patients use PRP to enhance transplant results.

What's the difference between PRP and ExoRevive?

PRP uses your blood's platelets containing 5-7 growth factors. ExoRevive uses lab-derived exosomes with 1,000+ growth factors, often showing faster results (6-8 weeks vs 3-4 months). ExoRevive costs £445 per session vs £545 for PRP with supplements.

Understanding Botox Costs in the UK

31 Aug

Written By Omar Elalfy

The cost of Botox varies significantly across the UK, influenced by multiple factors beyond the product itself. Understanding these variables helps you assess value and avoid compromising safety for savings.

What Determines Botox Pricing

The Product Itself

Genuine Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) from Allergan costs clinics approximately £90-120 per 100-unit vial. Other botulinum toxins - Azzalure, Bocouture - have similar wholesale costs. Be wary of prices that seem impossibly low; they may indicate diluted product or questionable sourcing.

Practitioner Expertise

Experienced practitioners command higher fees, reflecting years of training and refined technique. A nurse with basic training might charge £150-200 for three areas, while a consultant plastic surgeon might charge £400-500. The difference often translates to superior results and lower complication risks.

Location and Overheads

London clinics face higher rents, staffing costs, and regulatory requirements. These overheads influence pricing but also often correlate with higher standards of care, better facilities, and more comprehensive support.

Pricing Models

Per Area Pricing

Traditional pricing charges per anatomical area - typically £150-250 per area. Three areas (forehead, frown, crow's feet) might cost £400-600. This model is straightforward but doesn't account for individual variation in muscle strength or desired outcomes.

Per Unit Pricing

Some clinics charge per unit of Botox used, typically £10-15 per unit. This provides transparency and ensures you pay only for what you need. However, it requires trust that the practitioner uses appropriate doses.

Package Deals

Many clinics offer packages combining multiple areas or treatments. While these can provide value, ensure you need all included treatments. Unnecessary treatments, even if discounted, represent poor value.

Hidden Costs to Consider

Consultation fees vary from free to £100+. Some clinics waive this if you proceed with treatment. Follow-up appointments should be included - if not, factor this into total cost. Some clinics charge for top-ups even when clearly needed.

The False Economy of Cheap Botox

Significantly discounted Botox often involves compromises. These might include:

Overdilution, reducing effectiveness and duration
Inexperienced practitioners
Lack of aftercare support
No insurance coverage
Questionable product sourcing

Complications from poorly administered Botox can be costly to correct. Ptosis (droopy eyelid) might require months of eye drops. Asymmetry might need additional treatments. The cheapest option rarely represents best value.

Maximising Value

Quality clinics often offer loyalty programmes or membership schemes providing discounts for regular patients. Some provide finance options, spreading costs over several months. These can make quality treatment more accessible without compromising standards.

Consider longevity when assessing value. Well-placed Botox by an experienced practitioner often lasts longer than poorly administered treatment, providing better cost-per-month value.
