PRP Treatment

lastmod: 2026-03-29

What Is PRP Treatment?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment uses your own blood to stimulate natural skin rejuvenation. A small blood sample is taken, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and the resulting plasma—rich in growth factors—is injected back into targeted areas of your skin or scalp.

Your platelets contain powerful growth factors that play a central role in tissue repair and regeneration. By concentrating these and delivering them precisely where needed, PRP harnesses your body’s own healing mechanisms to improve skin quality, reduce fine lines, and in some cases, support hair regrowth.

What Does It Treat?

• Ageing skin – Stimulates collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles – Reduces early signs of ageing through tissue regeneration
• Dull, tired complexion – Improves radiance and overall skin vitality
• Acne scarring – Supports tissue remodelling in scarred areas
• Hair thinning – Can stimulate dormant hair follicles on the scalp
• Uneven skin tone – Promotes healthier, more uniform skin
• Under-eye concerns – Improves skin quality in the delicate eye area
• Sun damage – Supports repair of environmentally stressed skin
• Overall skin rejuvenation – Maintains skin health and resilience over time

Why PRP Treatment at Lux Clinic?

Your Own Biology, Safely Administered

Because PRP uses your own blood, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. At Lux Clinic, we follow strict clinical protocols for blood collection, processing, and injection.

Consultation-Led Approach

PRP is not suitable for everyone. Certain blood conditions, medications, and health factors may affect your eligibility. At Lux Clinic, every PRP treatment begins with a thorough consultation and, where appropriate, baseline blood work. We will be honest if PRP is not the right choice for you and recommend alternatives such as polynucleotide treatment or Plinest instead.

Enhanced Results with Microneedling

PRP is frequently combined with microneedling for enhanced results—sometimes referred to as a “vampire facial.” The micro-channels created during microneedling allow the PRP to penetrate more deeply, amplifying the regenerative effect.

What to Expect

Your Consultation

We discuss your skin or hair concerns, review your medical history, and determine whether PRP is appropriate. We set realistic expectations—PRP works through natural regeneration, so results develop gradually over weeks and months.

The Treatment (45-60 minutes)

1. Blood draw – A small blood sample is taken from your arm
2. Centrifuge processing – The blood is spun to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma (approximately 10-15 minutes)
3. Numbing – A topical anaesthetic is applied to the treatment area
4. Injection – PRP is injected into targeted areas using fine needles
5. Microneedling (optional) – If combining treatments, PRP is applied topically during microneedling to maximise absorption
6. Aftercare – Soothing products applied and aftercare instructions provided

After Your Treatment

• Redness, swelling, and mild bruising at injection sites are normal and typically resolve within 2-3 days
• Avoid touching the treated area, heavy exercise, saunas, and alcohol for 24-48 hours
• Use SPF 30+ daily during the recovery period
• A course of 3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended
• Maintenance sessions every 6-12 months help sustain results
• Skin improvements develop gradually over 4-8 weeks as collagen production increases

Pricing

From £300 per session

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PRP treatment hurt? A topical anaesthetic is applied before injections, which makes the procedure very manageable. The blood draw is similar to a routine blood test. If combining PRP with microneedling, the numbing cream ensures comfort throughout. Most clients describe mild pressure or a slight stinging sensation.

How many sessions will I need? For skin rejuvenation, a course of 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typical. For hair restoration, 3-4 initial sessions may be recommended, with maintenance treatments every 6-12 months. Your practitioner will outline a personalised plan during your consultation.

Is PRP safe? PRP has an excellent safety profile because it uses your own blood—there is no risk of allergic reaction or transmitted infection. At Lux Clinic, all blood handling and injection protocols follow strict clinical standards. Mild side effects like redness and bruising are temporary and resolve quickly.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments? Yes. PRP works exceptionally well alongside microneedling for enhanced penetration and results. It can also be combined with polynucleotide therapy for a comprehensive regenerative approach. We will recommend the best combination based on your individual assessment.

When will I see results? PRP stimulates your body’s natural regenerative processes, so results develop gradually. Most clients notice improved skin texture and radiance within 2-4 weeks, with continued improvement over the following months as new collagen forms. Hair regrowth results may take longer to become visible, typically 3-6 months.
