What Is PRP Therapy? London's Specialist Clinic
PRP therapy london patients trust begins with science: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) concentrates the growth factors in your own blood to stimulate natural tissue repair and regeneration. At PRP London Clinic, 33 Cavendish Square, London W1G, our team of GMC-registered doctors uses two advanced preparation systems — the Rein PRP™ System (CE Class IIB, 93–97% platelet recovery) and the MCT Plasma System (CE/MDR-certified photobiomodulation) — to deliver platelet rich plasma london treatments tailored to each patient's clinical needs.
As a dedicated PRP clinic london, we offer PRP across five specialist applications. Explore our dedicated treatment pages for detailed information on each:
- PRP for Hair Loss — scalp follicle stimulation for androgenetic alopecia
- PRP for Beard Growth — density enhancement for patchy beards
- PRP Facial (with Microneedling) — collagen-boosting skin rejuvenation
- PRP for Under Eyes — dark circle and periorbital skin improvement
- PRP for Joints — orthopaedic pain management and tissue repair
Doctor-Led Treatment and Patient Safety
Every PRP Therapy consultation and treatment at PRP London Clinic is carried out by a GMC-registered doctor. The treating doctor reviews your medical history, assesses whether the treatment is suitable, explains the expected result and risks, and gives you clear aftercare instructions.
How PRP Works: The Science of Platelet-Rich Plasma
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?
Blood contains red cells, white cells, plasma, and platelets. Platelets carry hundreds of proteins called growth factors — including PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and EGF — that are essential for wound healing and tissue regeneration. PRP therapy concentrates these platelets to 4–6 times their normal blood levels, creating a powerful regenerative serum from your own biology.
The Growth Factor Cascade
When injected into a target area, the concentrated growth factors trigger a cascade of biological responses:
- Cell proliferation — stimulates local stem cells and fibroblasts to multiply
- Collagen synthesis — promotes new collagen and elastin formation in skin
- Angiogenesis — forms new blood vessels to improve nutrient delivery
- Anti-inflammatory modulation — reduces chronic inflammation in joints and tissues
- Follicle activation — signals dormant hair follicles into the anagen (growth) phase
Why Preparation Quality Matters
A 2024 systematic review of 75 RCTs found a strong correlation (r=0.79) between proper temperature control during PRP preparation and clinical efficacy. This is why we invest in CE-certified, medical-grade systems rather than generic PRP kits — the preparation directly determines the therapeutic potency of your treatment.
The PRP Procedure: What to Expect
Regardless of the specific application (hair, skin, beard, eyes, or joints), the core PRP treatment process follows a consistent medical protocol:
- Consultation & assessment — your doctor reviews your medical history, examines the treatment area, and confirms PRP suitability
- Blood draw — a small sample (15–20ml) is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test
- Centrifugation — the sample is processed in the Rein PRP™ or MCT Plasma system to isolate and concentrate the platelet-rich fraction
- Area preparation — the treatment site is cleansed; topical or local anaesthetic is applied as needed
- PRP delivery — your doctor performs targeted micro-injections (or topical application for facial microneedling) into the treatment area
- Aftercare briefing — specific post-treatment instructions are provided for your application
The entire appointment typically takes 45–60 minutes. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Our PRP Systems: Rein PRP™ and MCT Plasma
Rein PRP™ System (CE Class IIB)
The Rein PRP System is our primary preparation platform — a CE Class IIB, ISO 13485:2016 certified medical device compliant with MDR 2017/745. Key specifications:
- 93–97% platelet recovery rate — significantly higher than standard separator-gel kits
- Sodium citrate anticoagulant (3.13% Ph. Eur.) — pharmaceutical-grade preservation
- 850 G centrifugation for 8 minutes — optimised protocol for maximum yield
- Gel-free density-gradient technology — eliminates contaminants for purer 'Liquid Gold'
MCT Plasma System (CE/MDR Certified)
For patients seeking advanced PRP, we also offer the MCT Plasma (Meta Cell Technology) system — a CE/MDR-certified dual-function device that enhances standard PRP through photobiomodulation (blue light) and thermal biomodulation:
- Enhanced growth factor release — photothermal conditioning increases platelet activation markers (p-38 phosphorylation)
- Reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines — cold priming produces less dense plasma for improved comfort
- Autologous exosome stimulation — photothermal conditioning stimulates exosome release from the patient's own cells
- ATP enhancement — stimulates cellular metabolism for sustained regenerative signalling
Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate system based on your clinical needs and treatment goals.
PRP Treatment Applications at Our London Clinic
Our prp london clinic offers PRP across five specialist treatment pathways. Each is delivered by the same team of GMC-registered doctors using our medical-grade preparation systems:
PRP for Hair Loss
Stimulates scalp follicles to reduce shedding and promote thicker, denser hair growth in androgenetic alopecia, PCOS-related thinning, traction alopecia, and post-transplant support.
PRP for Beard Growth
Enhances density and fullness in the beard area by activating dormant follicles and improving vascularisation to patchy zones.
PRP Facial (with Microneedling)
Combines medical-grade microneedling with PRP to boost collagen production, improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and soften acne scars.
PRP for Under Eyes
Targets dark circles, crepey skin, and periorbital hollowing through regenerative growth factor delivery to the delicate tear trough area.
PRP for Joints & Tendons
Intra-articular injections for osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, and soft tissue injuries — reducing pain, modulating inflammation, and promoting tissue repair.
PRP Treatment Pricing
PRP therapy london prices at our clinic start from £295 per session. The exact cost depends on the specific treatment application, the preparation system used (Rein PRP™ or MCT Plasma), and whether combination protocols are appropriate.
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Your consultation includes a full clinical assessment, discussion of expected outcomes, and a clear treatment plan with itemised pricing before you commit to any procedure.
See the pricing table below for a breakdown by treatment type, or visit each individual treatment page for detailed pricing information.

Is PRP Therapy Safe?
PRP therapy has an excellent safety profile because it uses your body's own biological material — an autologous treatment that virtually eliminates the risk of allergic reactions, rejection, or disease transmission. A 2024 systematic review of 75 randomised controlled trials (5,726 patients) confirmed PRP's safety across aesthetic and orthopaedic applications.
As with any injection-based treatment, temporary side effects may include:
- Mild redness or swelling at injection sites (resolves within 24–48 hours)
- Minor bruising (particularly in delicate areas like the under-eyes)
- Temporary tenderness at injection points
- Occasional pinpoint bleeding
All treatments are performed under sterile conditions by our GMC-registered doctors using single-use, CE-certified equipment. A full medical history review and contraindication screening is completed before every treatment.
PRP Aftercare: What to Do After Your Treatment
First 24–48 Hours
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated area
- Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms
- Do not apply makeup to the treated area for at least 6 hours (facial treatments)
- Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, aspirin) — these can interfere with the platelet-mediated healing response
First 2 Weeks
- Protect the treated area from excessive sun exposure; use SPF 50 for facial treatments
- Maintain good hydration to support the healing process
- Follow any treatment-specific instructions provided by your doctor (e.g., activity modification for joints)
Follow-Up
Your doctor will schedule a follow-up review to assess your progress and discuss timing for subsequent sessions. Most PRP protocols recommend a course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.
Is PRP Therapy Right for You?
| Ideal Candidate | May Need an Alternative Approach |
|---|---|
| Seeking natural, autologous regenerative treatment | Requires immediate visible results (fillers may be more appropriate) |
| Early-to-moderate hair thinning with existing follicles | Complete baldness with no remaining follicles (transplant may be needed) |
| Healthy platelet count and no blood disorders | Platelet dysfunction, thrombocytopenia, or anticoagulant therapy |
| Mild-to-moderate joint pain or tendinopathy | Severe end-stage arthritis requiring surgical intervention |
| Wants to improve skin quality and texture naturally | Seeking significant volume restoration (fillers or fat transfer preferred) |
| Committed to a course of 3 sessions for optimal results | Seeking a single-session permanent solution |
PRP Contraindications and Medical Considerations
PRP therapy is not suitable for everyone. The following conditions are absolute or relative contraindications that our doctors screen for during your consultation:
- Platelet dysfunction syndrome or critical thrombocytopenia — PRP requires adequate platelet levels to be effective
- Active malignancy (cancer) — growth factors may theoretically stimulate existing cancerous cells
- Sepsis or active systemic infection — treatment should be deferred until resolved
- Chronic liver disease — affects platelet production and function
- Blood-thinning medication (warfarin, heparin, aspirin) — requires medical review and possible temporary adjustment
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding — as a precautionary measure
- Active skin infection at the proposed treatment site
- Severe anaemia or haemoglobin disorders
If you have any of the above conditions, please disclose them during your consultation. In some cases, treatment may proceed with appropriate medical supervision or after the underlying condition is managed.
Clinical Disclaimer
PRP therapy is a biological medical procedure. Individual results vary based on age, genetics, baseline health, platelet count, and the specific condition being treated. While the Rein PRP™ system achieves a 93–97% platelet recovery rate and clinical evidence supports PRP's efficacy across multiple applications, PRP is a treatment to support natural regeneration — it is not a guaranteed cure for any condition. A professional consultation with our GMC-registered doctors is required to determine suitability and set realistic expectations.

Myths vs Facts
PRP therapy involves injecting someone else's blood.
False. PRP is 100% autologous — it uses only your own blood, drawn and processed immediately before your treatment. This virtually eliminates the risk of allergic reactions.
PRP results are permanent after one session.
PRP stimulates natural regeneration over time. Most protocols require a course of 3 sessions, with maintenance treatments recommended every 6–18 months to sustain benefits.
PRP is the same as stem cell therapy.
No. PRP uses concentrated platelets and their growth factors. Stem cell therapy involves actual stem cells — a different regenerative approach. However, MCT Plasma technology can stimulate autologous exosome release from your own cells.
All PRP kits produce the same results.
False. A 2024 systematic review found a strong correlation (r=0.79) between preparation quality (temperature control, centrifugation protocol) and clinical efficacy. This is why we use CE Class IIB certified systems rather than generic kits.
PRP is extremely painful.
Most patients report only minimal discomfort. Topical or local anaesthetic is applied before treatment, and our doctors use fine-gauge needles for precision and comfort.
PRP is just a cosmetic trend with no scientific backing.
PRP is supported by extensive clinical evidence. A 2024 PRISMA systematic review analysed 75 randomised controlled trials involving 5,726 patients across aesthetic and orthopaedic applications.

A.K. Gupta, S.G. Versteeg, J. Rapaport, A.K. Hausauer, N.H. Shear, V. Piguet · Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2019PMID: 30606055
Supports: Systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrating 3 monthly PRP injections exhibit significantly greater efficacy over placebo for hair density in androgenetic alopecia (mean difference: 25.61 hairs/cm², P=0.02). Also found 2-4 PRP sessions combined with traditional therapies can minimise acne scarring and improve aesthetic outcomes — supporting PRP's broad application across hair and facial rejuvenation.
Limitations: Studies used half-head design which may have influenced results due to systemic PRP effects. Data for non-hair indications (scarring, facial burns, ageing skin) are less robust in design. Focused on mild AGA — less evidence for advanced hair loss stages.
