Unlock Radiant Skin, Naturally

The PRP Facial is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with the potent growth factors found in your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). At PRP London Clinic, our medical team uses this combination therapy to effectively target fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, acne scars, and dullness, revealing smoother, firmer, more luminous skin.

Is a PRP Facial Right for Your Skin?

The PRP Facial is suitable for most skin types and addresses a range of concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Acne scarring and other mild scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage
  • Dull or lacklustre complexion
  • Loss of skin firmness

It's an excellent choice for those seeking natural skin rejuvenation using their body's own resources. A consultation with our medical team is needed to confirm suitability, especially if you have certain skin conditions or medical history.

The Rein PRP™ Clinical Standard

We utilise the Rein PRP™ System (CE Class IIB) to achieve a 93–97% platelet recovery rate. Unlike standard tubes that use separator gels, our gel-free density-gradient technology ensures 'Liquid Gold' purity, maximising the delivery of growth factors proven in clinical trials to boost collagen density by 89%.

  • Gel-Free Purity: Eliminates contaminants for superior therapeutic results.
  • Medical Precision: Managed by our Clinical Board of GMC-registered doctors.

The Synergy of Microneedling and PRP

The PRP Facial works through a two-pronged approach:

  1. Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy): A specialised device creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin – the essential building blocks for firm, youthful skin.
  2. PRP Application: Immediately following microneedling, your own concentrated PRP (prepared from a blood sample) is applied topically to the treated skin. The micro-channels created by microneedling allow the potent growth factors within the PRP to penetrate deep into the dermis.

This combination results in enhanced collagen stimulation, accelerated healing, and delivery of powerful regenerative signals directly where they are needed most, leading to superior rejuvenation results compared to microneedling or topical PRP alone.

Is a PRP Facial the same as a 'Vampire Facial'?

While popularly known as the 'Vampire Facial,' our clinical procedure is a specialised medical treatment. By combining medical-grade microneedling with the high-purity Rein PRP™ system, we achieve deeper dermal regeneration and more consistent results than standard high-street protocols.

Your PRP Facial Experience

A PRP Facial treatment session with our medical team involves several steps:

  1. Consultation: Assessment of your skin concerns, goals, and suitability for the treatment.
  2. Blood Draw & PRP Preparation: A small blood sample is taken and processed via centrifuge to concentrate your platelets.
  3. Skin Cleansing & Numbing: Your face (or other treatment area) is cleansed thoroughly. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied for about 20-30 minutes to ensure comfort during microneedling.
  4. Microneedling: Our practitioner uses a professional microneedling device (like SkinPen®) across the treatment area, creating controlled micro-channels.
  5. PRP Application: The prepared PRP is applied directly onto the micro-needled skin, allowing it to be absorbed deeply.
  6. Post-Treatment: Your skin will likely appear red, similar to a moderate sunburn, for 1-3 days. Specific aftercare instructions, including recommended skincare products and sun protection, will be provided.

The entire appointment typically takes around 60 minutes.

Expected Skin Improvements & Timeline

Following a PRP Facial, results emerge as your skin heals and regenerates:

  • Initial Glow (Days 1-7): After initial redness subsides, skin often appears brighter and more hydrated.
  • Texture & Tone Improvement (Weeks 2-4): You may notice improvements in skin texture and overall tone.
  • Collagen Building (Months 1-3): Significant collagen stimulation occurs during this period, leading to firmer skin, reduced fine lines, and softening of scars.
  • Optimal Results (3+ Months): Continued improvements in skin quality, firmness, and radiance.

For best results, our medical team typically recommends a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments can help sustain the benefits over the long term.

GMC-Led Clinical Board

Our protocols are developed by our Clinical Board of GMC-registered doctors. We approach skin rejuvenation through the lens of Endocrinology and Regenerative Medicine, ensuring every treatment is biologically optimised for your specific skin type.

Our 'Suitability First' workflow ensures every treatment is medically appropriate. This treatment is not suitable for individuals with active skin infections, platelet disorders, or during pregnancy. A full clinical review is mandatory prior to your first session.

Clinical Indications: A Bespoke Medical Approach

Our Clinical Board's protocols are informed by Endocrinology—the study of how hormones influence skin healing. We offer bespoke Rein PRP™ protocols for:

Acne Scars & Texture

Evidence-based remodelling of atrophic and boxcar scars (PMID: 25722599).

Signs of Ageing Skin

Scientifically proven 89% increase in dermal collagen density (PMID: 27904271).

Dull & Dehydrated Skin

Biological restoration of skin barrier health and radiance.

Safety of PRP Microneedling

The PRP Facial is a safe procedure when performed by our trained medical professionals. Using your own PRP eliminates the risk of allergic reactions. Microneedling is also very safe with sterile, single-use needle cartridges. Expected side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, and slight sensitivity, which resolve within a few days. Strict hygiene protocols are followed throughout the treatment.

Step-by-Step: The PRP Facial Protocol

Our medical-grade PRP Facial combines the collagen-inducing power of microneedling with the regenerative potency of your own 'Liquid Gold' PRP—prepared using the advanced Rein PRP™ System.

1

Skin Analysis & Consultation

Our GMC-registered doctor assesses your skin concerns, identifies target areas (fine lines, scars, texture), and confirms your suitability for the treatment.

2

Sterile Blood Draw & High-Recovery PRP Processing

A small blood sample is collected using vacuum-sealed phlebotomy and processed through the Rein PRP System, achieving a 93-97% platelet recovery rate—far exceeding standard kits.

3

Deep Cleanse & Topical Anaesthetic Application

Your face is thoroughly cleansed and a medical-grade numbing cream is applied for 20-30 minutes to ensure complete comfort during the microneedling phase.

4

Medical-Grade Microneedling (Collagen Induction)

Using a professional microneedling device with sterile single-use cartridges, our practitioner creates thousands of controlled micro-channels across the treatment area to trigger your body's natural collagen response.

5

PRP Infusion & Growth Factor Delivery

Your freshly prepared 'Liquid Gold' PRP is immediately applied to the micro-needled skin, allowing potent growth factors to penetrate deep into the dermis for enhanced regeneration.

Myths vs Facts

M

The PRP Facial is the same as just applying PRP.

F

False. The microneedling step is crucial for creating channels that allow the PRP growth factors to penetrate deep into the dermis for effective results.

M

PRP Facials are extremely painful.

F

Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, making the microneedling and PRP application very tolerable for most patients.

M

You need fillers after a PRP Facial for volume.

F

PRP boosts natural collagen for improved quality and firmness, but doesn't add significant volume like fillers. They address different aspects of ageing and can be complementary.

M

One PRP Facial gives permanent results.

F

Results are long-lasting but not permanent, as ageing continues. A series is needed initially, and maintenance sessions help sustain skin health.
