What lip PRP actually is
PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. It is made from a small sample of your own blood, so it is fully autologous, which simply means it comes from you and goes back into you.
We draw a little blood, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and their natural growth factors, then inject that concentrate into the lip and perioral area using very fine needles. Because the material is your own, the risk of allergy or rejection is extremely low. There is nothing synthetic and nothing foreign involved.
The growth factors inside your platelets, including PDGF, TGF beta, VEGF and EGF, act like tiny messengers. They encourage your own tissue to repair, improve microcirculation and support the production of collagen and other structural proteins. In plain terms, lip PRP is designed to improve the quality of your lips from within rather than simply filling them.
What lip PRP can and cannot do
This is the most important thing to understand before you book anything, so we will be straight with you.
Lip PRP is a biostimulation treatment. It is not a volumiser in the way that hyaluronic acid filler is. Filler adds instant physical volume and reshapes the lip using a gel. PRP works differently. It stimulates your tissue to become denser, more hydrated and healthier over time.
That means lip PRP is a strong choice if your goals include better lip colour, improved texture, more hydration, softening of fine perioral lines and a natural refreshed look. It is not the right choice on its own if your only goal is a dramatic increase in size or a big change in lip shape. For that, filler remains the better tool.
Many people actually get the best of both worlds by combining the two, using filler for shape and PRP for quality and texture. During your consultation we will give you an honest view on which approach suits your lips, even if that means recommending something other than PRP.
What the evidence really says
We believe good clinics should show you the science, not hide it. Here is a fair summary of where the research currently stands on lip PRP.
The evidence for lip PRP is still early. It is based on small controlled studies, usually around ten to fifteen patients each, and there are no large randomised controlled trials focused only on lip rejuvenation yet. What the existing data does suggest is genuinely encouraging, with modest but real improvements and high patient satisfaction.
A study by Huang and colleagues treated fifteen patients with PRP microinjections into the lips and followed them for three to twenty four months. The most obvious improvement was lip colour becoming more vivid, with only minimal side effects such as mild temporary discomfort in a few participants.
A study by Suha and colleagues used three monthly PRP sessions for perioral wrinkles. Both patient satisfaction and clinician satisfaction scores were high and statistically significant against baseline. The authors described PRP as a safe, natural and cost effective option for lip and perioral rejuvenation.
Work by Araco and colleagues showed improvement in the dermal structure and moisture of the lips. A separate study by Hamid and colleagues, using platelet rich fibrin rather than PRP, found positive rejuvenation at three months but no change in physical volume, which again confirms that this family of treatments improves quality rather than adding size.
Looking at the wider picture, a 2025 systematic review of twenty studies and 514 patients found the strongest evidence for PRP and PRF improving skin thickness and elasticity, with high patient satisfaction and no serious adverse events reported. Earlier reviews found modest improvement in skin appearance, texture and lines, with patients generally very happy despite the changes being subtle rather than extreme.
The honest headline is this. Lip PRP appears safe and can offer modest, natural improvements in lip colour, texture, hydration and dermal quality, with high satisfaction. The evidence is still preliminary, protocols vary between clinics, and long term durability is not yet fully mapped. Anyone who promises you dramatic, permanent, guaranteed results is not being straight with you.
How much lip PRP costs in London
Lip PRP at The London PRP Clinic starts from £400 a session.
That single, transparent price covers your treatment carried out with a proper closed, sterile system and the full attention of your practitioner from blood draw to injection. There are no hidden processing fees added afterwards.
Because PRP works by stimulating your own tissue over time, most people see the best results from a short course rather than a single visit. A typical plan is three sessions spaced around four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance every six to twelve months to keep the effect topped up as natural ageing continues. We will always tell you honestly how many sessions we think you actually need.
Across London, standalone lip PRP and comparable PRP prices generally sit anywhere from under two hundred pounds to six hundred pounds a session, so from £400 a session you are getting specialist, focused care at a fair and transparent rate.

What to expect at your appointment
Your visit is calm, clean and quick. Here is how a typical lip PRP session runs from start to finish.
First we talk through your goals, medical history and suitability, because this treatment is not right for everyone and we would rather tell you that upfront. We then apply a strong topical numbing cream so you stay comfortable. A small blood sample is taken and spun in the centrifuge for a few minutes to separate the platelet rich plasma.
Once your PRP is ready, we inject it precisely into the lips and surrounding area using very fine needles. The whole process usually takes under an hour. Afterwards you can return to your day, though you may notice some mild swelling or minor bruising for a day or two, which settles on its own. If you have a big event coming up, we suggest booking at least two weeks ahead so everything looks completely settled.
Aftercare that protects your results
Good aftercare is simple. Keep the area clean and avoid heavy makeup directly over the injection points for the first day. Skip saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, vigorous exercise and alcohol for the first twenty four to forty eight hours. Drink plenty of water, use a broad spectrum SPF on the area and avoid anti inflammatory painkillers for a day or two unless a doctor has told you otherwise, since they can blunt the regenerative response. We give every client tailored aftercare guidance so you always know exactly what to do.

Frequently asked questions about lip PRP
Is lip PRP better than lip filler
They do different jobs. Filler adds instant volume and reshapes the lip. PRP improves the quality, colour, hydration and texture of your natural lip over time. If you want size, choose filler. If you want natural rejuvenation, choose PRP. Many people combine both for the best overall result.
Does lip PRP hurt
Most people find it very manageable. We use a strong topical numbing cream before treatment, so you typically feel light pressure and small pricks rather than real pain.
How long does lip PRP last
Because PRP stimulates your own tissue rather than adding a gel, results build gradually and are maintained with periodic top ups, usually every six to twelve months. Long term durability data is still developing, which is why we recommend a maintenance approach.
How many sessions of lip PRP do I need
Most people do best with a course of around three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, then maintenance. We confirm your ideal plan at consultation.
Is lip PRP safe
PRP has an excellent safety profile because it uses your own blood, which virtually removes the risk of allergy or rejection. Side effects are usually limited to short lived swelling, tenderness or minor bruising. Studies to date report no serious adverse events.
