Express PRP
What is Express PRP?
PRP, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma, is a totally natural, non-surgical treatment that uses the healing power of your own blood to regenerate your skin and encourage new collagen. PRP treatment boosts the skin’s radiance and luminosity, improves texture and reduces the visible signs of ageing.
Traditionally, PRP treatments involve many injections into the face. Mr Olivier Amar created Express PRP to give his patients all the skin-brightening, rejuvenating benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma but in less time, with less redness and less downtime than other types of PRP, and with minimal discomfort.
Why consider Express PRP?
Express PRP is ideal for anyone whose skin appears tired, dull and lacklustre.
The treatment stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and natural hyaluronic acid to soften lines and wrinkles. Skin will feel more hydrated, firmer and more elastic.
Mr Olivier Amar’s innovative, 30-minute treatment uses a cannula to distribute the PRP under the skin, meaning you only need experience four tiny pin-prick punctures. Your skin will appear far less traumatised than in traditional PRP treatments and because it uses your own blood, an Express PRP treatment is entirely non-toxic, hypoallergenic and considered extremely safe.
Express PRP is suitable for men and women. It is perfect for brightening the skin before a special occasion or as a beauty tonic for an all year-round glow. Many patients say they need to use less makeup and feel more confident about their skin after treatment. Mr Olivier Amar’s Express PRP treatment uses the advanced, safe and rapid Regenlab RegenACR system.
More and more of my patients asked me for a skin rejuvenating treatment that was fast, discreet and, above all, natural. I developed my exclusive Express PRP technique for busy patients who want a refreshed and glowing look.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?
During an Express PRP treatment, you will first have a small amount of blood – 15mls – taken from your arm just as you would in a blood test. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge for five minutes to separate the red blood cells from the clear liquid called plasma and the platelets.
Platelets play a vital role in regenerating our skin, releasing growth factors that work to heal damaged or ageing tissues, including our skin cells. Your face will be cleaned, and four tiny punctures made to allow the insertion of a flexible, blunt-ended cannula to gently distribute the platelet rich plasma under the skin of the cheeks and around the mouth.
The skin is then massaged to encourage the healing plasma to spread under the skin.
When will I see the results?
You may notice improvements in skin texture after a few days, but it can take up to three weeks to appreciate the full results, including glow, hydration and a rested appearance.
Because Mr Olivier Amar’s Express PRP involves less disruption to your skin than traditional injections, you will be free to combine it with other treatments such as peels and laser procedures.
How many treatments are needed?
While you should see visible improvements after a single Express PRP treatment, for optimum, longer-lasting results, Mr Olivier Amar recommends two to three sessions, four to six weeks apart, plus a further treatment after eight months.
Do I need to do anything before the treatment?
It is recommended that you attend your appointment well rested and hydrated.

What can I expect after PRP treatment?
There is no downtime associated PRP injections. It is normal to experience bruising, redness, itching, soreness, and swelling that may last from 3-10 days following your procedure. Apply cold compresses for the first 8 hours to reduce swelling.
How long do I have to wait to return to normal activities following the treatment?
You should avoid strenuous exercise for 3 days following treatment. You can return to your day to day activities immediately after your treatment.
