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:

Your PRP Treatment Team

Every PRP therapy london session is performed by a GMC-registered doctor from our clinical team — Dr Bruno Amendola (GMC: 4346629), Dr Mohamed Nafei (GMC: 7520509), and Dr Reem Nouri (GMC: 6149512). Our doctors follow standardised platelet-rich plasma treatment protocols developed through shared clinical workflows, ensuring consistent outcomes regardless of which physician performs your procedure. Never a nurse, technician, or non-medical practitioner.

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:

  1. Consultation & assessment — your doctor reviews your medical history, examines the treatment area, and confirms PRP suitability
  2. Blood draw — a small sample (15–20ml) is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test
  3. Centrifugation — the sample is processed in the Rein PRP™ or MCT Plasma system to isolate and concentrate the platelet-rich fraction
  4. Area preparation — the treatment site is cleansed; topical or local anaesthetic is applied as needed
  5. PRP delivery — your doctor performs targeted micro-injections (or topical application for facial microneedling) into the treatment area
  6. 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.

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.

Mild-to-moderate joint pain or tendinopathySevere end-stage arthritis requiring surgical intervention
Wants to improve skin quality and texture naturallySeeking significant volume restoration (fillers or fat transfer preferred)
Committed to a course of 3 sessions for optimal resultsSeeking 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

M

PRP therapy involves injecting someone else's blood.

F

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.

M

PRP results are permanent after one session.

F

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.

M

PRP is the same as stem cell therapy.

F

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.

M

All PRP kits produce the same results.

F

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.

M

PRP is extremely painful.

F

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.

M

PRP is just a cosmetic trend with no scientific backing.

F

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

PRP therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy) is a regenerative treatment that concentrates the growth factors in your own blood and delivers them to a target area — such as the scalp, face, or joints — to stimulate natural tissue repair. A small blood sample is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and the resulting PRP is injected into the treatment area.
PRP therapy london prices at PRP London Clinic start from £295 per session. The exact cost varies depending on the treatment application (hair, skin, beard, eyes, or joints), the preparation system used, and whether combination protocols are recommended. Transparent pricing is provided during your consultation.
PRP treatment has an excellent safety profile because it uses your body's own blood — virtually eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Temporary side effects like mild redness, swelling, or bruising are possible but typically resolve within a few days. All treatments are performed by GMC-registered doctors under sterile conditions.
Most PRP protocols recommend a course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on your specific treatment (hair, skin, beard, eyes, or joints) and your individual response. Maintenance sessions every 6–18 months are typically recommended.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses an anticoagulant during preparation to keep the plasma liquid, while PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is processed without anticoagulant, creating a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors over a longer period (up to 14 days). We offer both at our clinic using the Rein PRP™ and T-Lab® PRF systems respectively.
MCT Plasma (Meta Cell Technology) is an advanced PRP enhancement that uses photobiomodulation (blue light) and thermal biomodulation to boost growth factor release, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines, and stimulate autologous exosome production from your own cells. It is CE/MDR certified and offers an upgraded option for patients seeking enhanced regenerative potential.
A typical PRP treatment session takes 45–60 minutes, including the blood draw, centrifugation, area preparation, and injection. You can usually return to normal activities the same day.
Results develop gradually as your body's regenerative processes respond to the concentrated growth factors. For hair treatments, initial changes (reduced shedding) may appear within 1–3 months, with fuller results at 6–12 months. For skin rejuvenation, initial improvements in glow and texture can be seen within weeks. Joint pain relief typically develops over 4–12 weeks.
Yes. PRP combines effectively with many other treatments including exosomes therapy, microneedling, polynucleotides, mesotherapy, and dermal fillers. Your doctor will discuss the most appropriate combination for your concerns during your consultation.
Most patients report only minimal discomfort. Topical anaesthetic cream is applied before facial, scalp, beard, and under-eye treatments, and local anaesthetic is used for joint injections. Our doctors use fine-gauge needles to minimise sensation during the procedure.
PRP is not suitable for patients with platelet disorders, active cancer, systemic infections, chronic liver disease, or those on anticoagulant medication without medical review. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are also contraindications. All patients undergo a full medical screening before treatment.
PRP therapy is generally not available on the NHS for aesthetic or hair loss indications. It is offered as a private medical treatment. At PRP London Clinic, we provide transparent private pricing starting from £295 per session with no hidden costs.
