Regenerative · your own blood · Battersea

The Vampire Facial in London. Your own blood, put to work.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses the growth factors in a small sample of your own blood to prompt your skin or scalp to repair and regenerate. No synthetic filler, no foreign substance, and because it comes from you, essentially no allergy risk. At Melatone we use it two ways: PRP microneedling (the Vampire Facial) for skin quality, and PRP hair restoration for thinning hair. Clinician-led by Arman Zaki, GMC-registered Physician Associate, for all skin types.

In short

What PRP is, and what it is not.

PRP is a regenerative treatment, not a filler and not a drug. We draw a small sample of your blood, spin it to concentrate the platelets and their growth factors, and return that plasma to the skin or scalp, either through microneedling or by injection. It works with your own biology to support repair over time, so results build gradually across a course rather than appearing overnight. It is not a quick fix and it is not a volume treatment. Results vary between individuals, and every treatment is for adults aged 18 and over after a clinical assessment.

Two treatments

Skin, and scalp.

Skin quality

PRP Microneedling (Vampire Facial)

Microneedling paired with topical PRP from your own blood. The channels let the growth factors reach where they work, to support texture, tone and overall skin quality.

From £450 single session
Course of 3: £1,200

Often 3 sessions, then an annual top-up.

Hair

PRP Hair Restoration

PRP injected into the scalp to support the hair follicles in thinning areas. Most suited to early to moderate thinning, confirmed at consultation.

From £200 single session
Course of 3: from £540

Often 3 to 4 sessions, 4 weeks apart, then maintenance.

PRP is also combined with polynucleotides in some plans, priced on enquiry. We advise the right combination at consultation.

How it works

From a blood draw to growth factors.

Step 1

A small blood draw.

We take a small sample, as you would for a routine blood test.

Step 2

Concentrate the platelets.

The sample is spun to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma and its growth factors.

Step 3

Return it to the area.

The plasma is delivered back through microneedling or injection, where it supports repair over the following weeks.

Suitable for all skin types

Your own blood, so no foreign substance.

Because PRP uses your own blood, there is no synthetic filler and no foreign substance, so allergy risk is essentially zero. There is also no laser wavelength or high-strength acid involved, which is why it is a comfortable, controlled option across Fitzpatrick I to VI. As a Skin of Colour founded clinic, that safety on darker skin is the first thing we plan for. Read about our Skin of Colour clinic. Results vary between individuals.

Common questions

PRP, answered.

What is PRP treatment?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood. We take a small sample, spin it to concentrate the platelets and their growth factors, and return that plasma to your skin or scalp through microneedling or injection. It works with your own biology to support repair, so results build gradually over a course. It is not a filler and not a drug. Results vary between individuals.

What is a Vampire Facial (PRP microneedling)?

The Vampire Facial is PRP microneedling: microneedling paired with topical PRP from your own blood. The microneedling creates fine channels that let the growth factors reach where they work, to support skin texture, tone and overall quality. At Melatone it is from £450 for a single session, or £1,200 for a course of 3, often followed by an annual top-up.

Does PRP help with hair loss?

PRP hair restoration aims to support the hair follicles in thinning areas, and it is most suited to early to moderate thinning. It is typically given as 3 to 4 sessions, 4 weeks apart, then maintenance, from £200 a session or a course of 3 from £540. We confirm whether it is right for your pattern of thinning at consultation, and we are honest when another route would suit you better. Results vary.

Is PRP safe, and is it safe for darker skin?

Because PRP uses your own blood, there is no foreign substance and allergy risk is essentially zero. There is no laser wavelength or high-strength acid involved, so it avoids the pigmentation risk that harsher treatments can carry on melanin-rich skin. It is suitable across Fitzpatrick I to VI, and Melatone is a Skin of Colour founded clinic, so this is central to how we deliver it.

How much does PRP cost at Melatone?

PRP microneedling (the Vampire Facial) is from £450 for a single session, or £1,200 for a course of 3. PRP hair restoration is from £200 a session, or a course of 3 from £540. PRP is also combined with polynucleotides in some plans, priced on enquiry. A £30 consultation is deducted from your first session.

Who performs PRP and how many sessions will I need?

All PRP treatments are delivered by Arman Zaki, our founder and GMC-registered Physician Associate (Ref A8131967). Facial PRP is often 3 sessions then an annual top-up, and hair PRP is often 3 to 4 sessions 4 weeks apart then maintenance. Your exact plan is confirmed at consultation. Every treatment is for adults aged 18 and over.
