PRP
PRP uses a concentrated sample of your own platelets to support skin rejuvenation or hair concerns. Modelow helps you find reduced-price appointments at verified UK clinics.
What does PRP cost in the UK?
PRP is priced by treatment type and session. Based on advertised prices reviewed across London and regional UK clinics in September 2026, face or scalp PRP commonly fell around £195–£475 per session, with combined microneedling protocols often higher. These are general market ranges — not Modelow prices.

What affects the price

Scalp PRP, facial PRP and combined microneedling protocols are usually priced differently.
Number of sessions
Most clinics recommend an initial course of 3–4 sessions, then maintenance every 6–12 months.
Preparation method
Centrifuge system, PRP kit quality and whether PRF or cellular matrix products are used can affect pricing.
Practitioner and setting
Doctor-led medical clinics often charge more than beauty-led settings offering basic PRP.
Location
Central London specialist clinics commonly sit at the higher end of UK pricing.
Why can Modelow appointments cost less?
Some clinics offer reduced-price appointments when they need a model for training, demonstrations, content or supervised practice. The lower price reflects the appointment type — not necessarily lower standards.
Prices change and differ between clinics. Confirm the exact treatment, practitioner, inclusions and total cost before you book.

What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a sample of your blood. After centrifugation, the platelet-rich layer is injected or applied to the skin or scalp to deliver growth factors that may support repair and regeneration.
It is used cosmetically for facial rejuvenation, combined 'vampire facial' protocols, and hair thinning — though results and evidence vary by indication.
How does PRP work?
Platelets contain growth factors involved in healing. When concentrated and reintroduced to tissue, the aim is to stimulate collagen, improve skin quality or support hair follicle activity.
Response is individual. PRP is not a guaranteed fix for advanced hair loss or deep scarring.
Common PRP treatment types
Facial PRP may be injected directly or combined with microneedling so the plasma absorbs through micro-channels. Scalp PRP targets areas of thinning hair. Some clinics offer under-eye or targeted protocols.
Each type is usually priced separately.
What happens during a session?
Blood is drawn — similar to a standard blood test — then processed in a centrifuge for several minutes. The PRP is applied or injected into the treatment area. Total appointment time is often 45–60 minutes.
You should be well hydrated beforehand. Clinics may advise avoiding anti-inflammatory medication before treatment — follow your clinic's specific instructions.
How many sessions are commonly recommended?
Many UK clinics recommend an initial course of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, then maintenance every six to twelve months.
Hair protocols may need longer to assess response — visible change often takes three to six months.
When might results show?
Skin quality improvements may appear gradually over weeks. Hair results, when they occur, usually build slowly across several months rather than after one session.
Not everyone responds the same way. A consultation should set realistic expectations.
Downtime and aftercare
Redness, tenderness and mild swelling are common for one to three days — especially with microneedling combinations. Avoid sun, harsh skincare and strenuous exercise as advised.
Scalp PRP may mean avoiding hair washing for a short period; follow your clinic's protocol.
Why might model appointments cost less?
Clinics sometimes offer reduced-rate PRP when training practitioners or demonstrating technique. Confirm preparation method, session type and who performs the procedure.
What should you look for in a clinic?
Ask about centrifuge system, PRP kit quality, medical oversight and experience with your specific concern. PRP should be prepared and administered in a clinical environment.
Frequently asked questions
- Does PRP hurt?
- The blood draw feels like a standard needle. Injections or microneedling may cause stinging or discomfort; numbing is often used for combined facial protocols.
- Is PRP safe?
- Because PRP uses your own blood, allergic reaction risk is low. Infection, bruising and swelling are possible, as with any injection-based procedure. Choose a qualified medical provider.
- How much is PRP for hair loss in the UK?
- Advertised scalp PRP sessions reviewed in 2026 commonly fell around £195–£475, with three-session courses often around £468–£1,275 depending on clinic.
- What is a vampire facial?
- It usually means PRP combined with microneedling on the face. It is typically priced above injection-only PRP.
