Katie rated us 5 out of 5 for London branch!
I visited Nara Simone today for a PRP microneedling treatment and had a really positive experience from start to finish.
My appointment was with Drew, one of their aesthetic practitioners. We began with a proper consultation where we talked through my concerns and what I was hoping to improve. I completed the necessary documentation, and Drew carefully explained exactly what the procedure involved so I fully understood what would happen before deciding to proceed.
The treatment itself started with a gentle facial cleanse followed by the application of a topical numbing cream to keep everything comfortable. While the numbing cream was working, Drew took a small blood sample which was placed into a centrifuge machine that separates the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells.
That plasma is then used during the microneedling treatment, which creates tiny controlled micro-channels in the skin. The idea is that the microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production, while the platelet-rich plasma — which contains your body’s own growth factors — helps support regeneration and repair. I personally love treatments that work with your body’s own biology rather than introducing lots of external products.
The whole appointment was surprisingly quick — probably around 45 minutes to an hour from start to finish.
Afterwards, Drew applied a cooling aloe vera gel and gave very clear aftercare instructions: no makeup for the rest of the day, avoid touching or washing the face that evening, and simply allow the skin to begin the healing process. Normal activities can resume the following day.
Immediately after the treatment the skin felt tight and warm — very similar to the sensation of mild sunburn, like when you’ve been skiing or out in strong sun. It looked a little red but not alarming, and I was perfectly comfortable walking home with sunglasses on. That said, I probably wouldn’t schedule this on a day when you’re planning to go out in the evening — it’s better suited to a quiet night in so your skin can settle.
Overall, it was a very professional, calm and thorough experience. Drew took time to explain everything clearly, the treatment was efficient, and the clinic environment felt very reassuring.
I’m a big believer in treatments that support the body’s natural repair processes, so PRP microneedling feels like a very intelligent approach to skin rejuvenation. For anyone considering it, I would definitely recommend the team at Nara Simone.
