How Much Does PRP Treatment Cost in Central London?
If you are researching PRP treatment costs in Central London, expect to pay between £300 and £600 per session in reputable, doctor-led clinics. At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem on Pall Mall, our PRP treatment is £350 for a single session or £950 for a course of three, with all treatments personally performed by Dr Goziem Onuchukwu.
Prices in areas such as Mayfair, St James’s and Westminster vary depending on the doctor’s experience, the quality of equipment used (for example, medical-grade centrifuges and specialist PRP kits), and whether your treatment includes injections, microneedling or combination therapies. Cheaper offers can seem attractive, but they may involve less precise techniques, shorter appointments or limited follow-up.
This guide explains exactly what you are paying for when you choose PRP in Central London, what influences the cost, and how to decide if it is the right investment for your skin and hair health.
Introduction: Why Patients Choose PRP For Natural Rejuvenation
Many of the women I see, particularly in their 30s, 40s and 50s, are not looking for a different face. They simply want to look less tired, soften fine lines, and improve under-eye darkness or thinning hair without looking “done”.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) appeals because it uses your own blood’s growth factors to stimulate repair, collagen production and healthier tissue. There is no added filler material, and results develop gradually, which suits anyone wanting subtle, naturally refreshed skin rather than drastic change.
In a busy part of London like Pall Mall and Mayfair, many of my patients are balancing demanding careers and family life. They need treatments with minimal downtime, strong safety profiles, and outcomes that look like them on their best day. PRP fits that brief when carried out carefully in a doctor-led setting.
What It Is & How It Works
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a concentrated part of your own blood, rich in platelets and the growth factors they release. These growth factors act as messengers to your skin and hair follicles, telling them to repair, regenerate and build new collagen.
Here is how PRP works in clear terms:
Blood collection
A small amount of blood is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.Centrifugation
The blood is placed in a medical centrifuge that spins at high speed. This separates the red blood cells from the plasma containing platelets and growth factors.Concentrated PRP layer
We isolate the golden-coloured layer containing concentrated platelets. This is your PRP – a personalised, biological “serum” created from your own blood.Targeted application
The PRP is then precisely injected into specific areas of concern such as:
- Under-eye hollows and dark circles
- Fine lines and crepey skin on the face, neck and décolletage
- Scalp areas affected by thinning hair or early hair loss
It can also be combined with treatments like Microneedling on the face for enhanced penetration and synergy.
- Regeneration phase
Once in the tissue, platelets release growth factors including PDGF, TGF-beta and VEGF. These support:
- New collagen and elastin formation
- Improved blood supply and oxygenation
- Enhanced cell turnover and tissue repair
Because PRP uses your own cells, it is biocompatible and does not carry the risk of allergy that synthetic products may have. The skill lies in how the PRP is prepared and exactly where it is placed.
At Alcove Aesthetics, every PRP treatment is performed by Dr Goziem Onuchukwu, BDS, MSc (Aesthetic Medicine), a GDC-registered dentist with over 7 years of aesthetic experience and more than 1,000 patients treated. Her training and precision with injection techniques are crucial for achieving even, natural results, especially around delicate areas like the eyes.

Treatment Journey: From Consultation To Results
A clear, structured treatment journey helps you understand exactly what to expect.
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr Goziem. This includes:
- A thorough medical history
- Assessment of your skin or scalp
- Discussion of your main concerns, lifestyle and timeframes
- Review of alternatives such as Sculptra, skin boosters, or other regenerative options if more suitable
She will explain what PRP can and cannot achieve for you, expected timelines, and the number of sessions likely required. There is no obligation to go ahead if it does not feel right.
2. Preparation
On treatment day:
- Photography is taken to track progress
- Your skin is cleansed, and numbing cream may be applied for comfort
- A small blood sample is drawn from your arm and processed to create your PRP
3. Treatment
Once the PRP is prepared, it is injected into targeted areas using fine needles or combined with techniques such as microneedling on the face if indicated.
Typical appointment time is 45 to 75 minutes, including preparation and aftercare discussion. Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort rather than pain, with sensitive areas (such as under the eyes) carefully numbed.
4. Follow-up and maintenance
You will usually be reviewed after your initial course to assess:
- Visible changes in skin quality or hair density
- Tolerance and downtime
- Whether further maintenance sessions are recommended
Many patients choose a course of three sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance once or twice per year depending on their goals.
Recovery & Aftercare
One of PRP’s main advantages for busy Central London patients is the minimal downtime.
Immediately after treatment, you may experience:
- Mild redness or swelling
- Pin-prick marks at injection sites
- Occasional light bruising, especially around the eye area
These effects typically settle within 24 to 72 hours. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work the same or next day, with mineral makeup once advised it is safe to apply.
You will receive tailored aftercare instructions, which usually include:
- Avoiding vigorous exercise, saunas and alcohol for 24 hours
- Using gentle skincare and high SPF
- Delaying active ingredients (such as retinoids or strong acids) for a few days
Results build gradually, with improvements often noticed from 3 to 6 weeks, and further gains over several months as collagen remodels.
Cost & Transparency
At Alcove Aesthetics in Central London, PRP treatment is priced at:
- £350 for 1 session
- £950 for a course of 3 sessions
This includes:
- Full consultation and medical assessment
- Doctor-performed treatment using premium PRP kits and equipment
- Aftercare guidance and follow-up
A £50 booking fee is required to secure your appointment, fully redeemable against your treatment. We operate a 48-hour reschedule policy, which is standard for a doctor-led facial aesthetics clinic in London.
During your consultation, you will receive a clear, written treatment plan and cost breakdown before proceeding.
Frequently Asked Questions About PRP in Central London
Is PRP safe?
PRP has an excellent safety profile when performed by an experienced medical practitioner. Because it uses your own blood, the risk of allergy or rejection is extremely low. As with any injectable treatment, there is a small risk of bruising, swelling or infection, which is minimised by sterile technique and careful aftercare.
Does PRP hurt?
Most patients find PRP very manageable. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand, and fine needles are used. You may feel pressure, mild stinging or a scratching sensation in more sensitive areas, but treatment is generally well tolerated and quick. If you are particularly anxious about discomfort, discuss this with Dr Goziem so we can adapt your plan.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
For skin rejuvenation or under-eye treatment, a course of three sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is commonly recommended. For hair thinning, some patients may benefit from a more intensive initial phase. After your first course, maintenance sessions once or twice per year can help sustain results.
When will I see results?
You may see an improvement in skin glow and hydration within a few weeks, but more structural changes – such as firmer skin or thicker-looking hair – typically develop gradually over 3 to 6 months. PRP is a regenerative, not instant, treatment, so patience and a course-based approach are important.
Am I suitable for PRP?
Most healthy adults with early signs of ageing, dullness, mild under-eye hollowing or early hair thinning are potential candidates. It may not be suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain blood disorders, take specific medications, or have active skin infections. A full consultation with Dr Goziem is essential to determine if PRP is right for you or whether an alternative such as Chemical Peel or skin boosters would be more appropriate.
