Unlock Your Natural Regenerative Potential

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a revolutionary treatment that uses the healing components found within your own blood to stimulate natural repair and regeneration. At PRP London Clinic, our medical team expertly prepares and administers PRP to address concerns ranging from hair loss and skin ageing to beard enhancement and joint discomfort.

This page provides a general overview of PRP therapy. Explore our dedicated pages to learn how PRP specifically benefits Hair Loss, Beard Growth, Skin Rejuvenation (PRP Facial), and Joint Health.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Blood is composed of several components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Platelets are crucial for blood clotting, but they also contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors, which are vital for healing injuries and tissue regeneration.

PRP Therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to separate the components, and concentrating the platelets within the plasma. This resulting Platelet-Rich Plasma contains a significantly higher concentration of growth factors than normal blood – typically 5 to 10 times greater.

The Science Behind PRP Therapy

When PRP is injected into a target area (such as the scalp, beard area, skin, or a joint), the concentrated growth factors are released. These powerful biological signals stimulate the body's natural healing cascade:

  • Cell Growth & Proliferation: Growth factors encourage the multiplication of local cells, like hair follicle cells or skin fibroblasts.
  • Tissue Regeneration: They promote the formation of new tissue, including collagen and elastin in the skin or cartilage repair elements in joints.
  • New Blood Vessel Formation (Angiogenesis): Improved blood supply brings more nutrients and oxygen to the treated area.
  • Inflammation Control: PRP can help modulate inflammation, reducing pain and promoting a healthier environment for healing.

Essentially, PRP enhances and accelerates the body's inherent ability to repair and rejuvenate itself using its own resources.

Key Applications of PRP Therapy

PRP's regenerative capabilities make it a versatile treatment offered by our medical team for various conditions:

The General PRP Procedure

While specifics vary by application, the core PRP process is consistent:

  1. Consultation: Discussion with our medical team to assess your needs and confirm PRP suitability.
  2. Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
  3. Centrifugation: The blood sample is placed in a specialised centrifuge machine that spins at high speed to separate the platelets and plasma from other blood cells.
  4. PRP Extraction: Our practitioner carefully extracts the concentrated platelet-rich plasma layer.
  5. Injection: The prepared PRP is injected into the targeted treatment area (scalp, beard, skin, or joint). Topical anaesthetic or local anaesthetic may be used for comfort.

The entire process usually takes around 60 minutes.

Is PRP Therapy Safe?

PRP therapy is considered very safe because it uses your body's own biological material (autologous treatment). This significantly minimises the risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission. As with any injection, there is a small risk of temporary side effects like pain, swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. These are typically mild and resolve quickly. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions by our qualified practitioners to ensure safety.
