PRP + iPRF: The Miami-Taught “Extra-Rich” Hybrid Technique for Next-Level Skin & Hair Results

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished you could just hit a "reset" button on your skin? Or perhaps you’ve noticed your hair isn't quite as thick as it used to be, and you’re tired of "miracle" serums that simply don't deliver. We’ve all been there! The world of aesthetics is moving fast, and at Glamed, we are obsessed with finding the most natural, effective ways to help you look and feel like the best version of yourself!

That obsession recently took me: Aga Bar: all the way to Miami! I’ve just returned from an exclusive, intensive training session with one of the world’s leading doctors in regenerative medicine. Miami is the global heartbeat of aesthetic innovation, and I wanted to bring that high-end, cutting-edge expertise back to our beautiful skin clinic in Norbury.

And here’s the real secret I brought home… instead of making you choose PRPoriPRF, I combine them! This Miami-taught hybrid approach creates an “extra-rich” concentrate of your own growth factors for more complete rejuvenation. If you’ve been searching for a hair loss treatment or a way to glow from within, this is for you!

The Magic of Your Own Biology (And Why “Extra-Rich” Matters!)

Before we dive in, let’s talk about why these treatments are so special. PRP and iPRF use your own blood to support healing and rejuvenation. There are no synthetic chemicals, no "frozen" expressions, and no risk of allergic reactions. It is 100% you!

We take a small sample of your blood (just like a standard blood test) and use a specialised centrifuge to concentrate the "good stuff": platelets, growth factors, and regenerative cells that tell your body to repair tissue and build fresh collagen. It’s bio-hacking at its finest!

At Glamed, the game-changer is that we don’t treat PRP and iPRF like an either/or choice. I blend them into one extra-rich hybrid so you get the best of both worlds: an immediate glow + longer, deeper support for regeneration!

What is PRP? The "Liquid Gold" Foundation

You’ve likely heard of the "Vampire Facial": that’s PRP! Platelet-Rich Plasma has been the gold standard in aesthetics for years. By spinning your blood at specific speeds, we separate the plasma that’s packed with platelets.

When we deliver this "liquid gold" back into your skin or scalp, it releases a more immediate "burst" of growth factors. This tells your skin (or hair follicles) to get to work! It’s brilliant for improving texture, boosting radiance, and supporting stronger, healthier hair. If you want to learn more about the science, check out our deep dive into blood cells and growth factors.

What is iPRF? The Miami “Slow-Release” Upgrade

Here’s where my Miami training really levelled things up. We focused heavily on iPRF (injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin) — a next-generation fibrin concentrate that’s becoming the industry’s not-so-secret weapon.

So, what makes iPRF different? It comes down to the science of the spin:

1. Slower speed, better mix: A gentler spin helps preserve more regenerative cells (including white blood cells) in the final product.

2. No anticoagulants: iPRF is prepared without additives that stop clotting, allowing a natural fibrin structure to form.

3. The “slow release” effect: That fibrin matrix can help hold onto growth factors and release them more gradually, supporting longer-lasting regeneration.

On its own, iPRF is powerful. But the real magic at Glamed is what happens when we combine it with PRP for extra richness!

The Glamed Secret: PRP + iPRF Mixed for “Extra Richness”

This is the part most clinics don’t offer (and honestly, it’s why I’m so excited about it!). Instead of choosing between PRP and iPRF, I combine them — a technique I learned during my training with a top Miami doctor.

Think of it like this:

• PRP = fast-acting “wake up” call for your skin and scalp (that fresh, healthy glow!)

• iPRF = longer-supporting regenerative boost thanks to the fibrin matrix and regenerative cell mix

• PRP + iPRF together = extra-rich hybrid that can deliver a more complete, layered rejuvenation response

Why the hybrid approach can be more effective

Because you’re getting both “speeds” of results working together:

• More comprehensive growth factor delivery (immediate + sustained support)

• Better overall tissue quality over time (texture, firmness, bounce)

• A more personalised result because we can adjust the ratio based on your skin, your scalp, and your goals

At Glamed, we love combining these regenerative techniques with our prescribed facials to create a bespoke plan just for you. Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines, improve acne scarring, or get that Miami glow in the heart of South London, we’ve got you covered!

Revolutionary Hair Loss Treatment in Norbury (With the Extra-Rich Hybrid)

Hair loss can be incredibly soul-crushing. Whether it’s thinning at the temples or a general loss of volume, it affects your confidence. And when you’ve tried every serum under the sun, you deserve something that’s actually safe and effective — and built around your biology!

This is where the Miami techniques really shine. By using an extra-rich PRP + iPRF hybrid for hair growth, we are essentially "fertilising" the hair follicles with a more complete regenerative signal.

• PRP helps stimulate follicles quickly and supports healthier scalp circulation

• iPRF supports longer-lasting regeneration thanks to the fibrin matrix and regenerative cell mix

• Together, the hybrid approach can be more effective for stubborn thinning because you’re supporting both the “kick-start” and the “keep-going” phase

It’s why we’ve taken hair loss treatment to the next level here at Glamed — and why so many clients love that our approach is truly personalised, not one-size-fits-all.

PRP + iPRF: Do You Still Have to Choose?

You might be wondering, "Aga, which one should I choose?" And my honest answer is: most of the time, you don’t have to!

At Glamed, my signature approach is often to combine PRP and iPRF for extra richness, because it can give you a more complete regenerative effect than using just one.

That said, your plan should always be personalised:

• PRP-only might be perfect if: you want a general refresh, you’re younger and focusing on prevention, or you want a more cost-effective starting point.

• Adding iPRF can be a game-changer if: you have stubborn concerns (deeper lines, more noticeable thinning, crepey under-eye skin) and you want a more advanced, longer-supporting boost.

• PRP + iPRF hybrid is ideal if: you want the “best of both” — immediate stimulation plus longer regenerative support, tailored to your skin or scalp.

During your consultation at our skin clinic in Norbury, we’ll look at your skin or scalp and decide the exact “cocktail” (and ratio!) that makes sense for your goals.

The Glamed Experience: What to Expect

I know, the idea of "blood treatments" can sound a bit clinical, but I promise the experience at Glamed is anything but! We pride ourselves on being a boutique, doctor-led clinic where you are treated like a friend, not a number.

1. The Consultation: We start with a warm drink and a chat about what’s bothering you.

2. The Draw: We use a butterfly needle (the tiny ones!) to make the blood draw as comfortable as possible.

3. The Science: While you relax, we process your blood in our state-of-the-art centrifuge.

4. The Treatment: We use very fine needles or a microneedling device to deliver the plasma or fibrin. Most people describe it as a "prickly" sensation, but it’s very manageable!

5. The Glow: You’ll leave the clinic with a bit of redness (the "vampire" look!), but this usually settles within 24 hours, leaving you with a fantastic glow.

How to Prepare for Your Miami-Style Glow

To get the very best results from your prp treatment, you want your blood to be as healthy as possible! Here are my top tips:

• Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drink plenty of water in the 24 hours leading up to your appointment. It makes the blood draw easier and the plasma higher quality.

• Eat well: Avoid greasy fast food the night before. Think "green and lean"!

• Avoid Alcohol: Try to skip the wine for 48 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

• Check your meds: If you’re taking blood thinners or anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen, let us know, as these can affect platelet function.

Why Choose Glamed?

There are plenty of places to get a facial, but there are very few places where you get international-standard expertise in a warm, local setting. My training in Miami wasn't just about learning a new machine; it was about understanding the biology of healing at the highest level.

We bring that "doctor-led" precision to every single laser hair removal session, every microdermabrasion, and every injection. We believe that you deserve the best technology in the world, right here in Norbury.
