About PRF EZ Gel

As we age, the skin’s collagen levels decline, which can cause fine lines, wrinkles, and laxity that affect our appearance. This can also result in volume loss and sunken under-eyes that might make you look older. PRF EZ gel is designed to help rejuvenate the skin with growth factors in a biocompatible formula. (1)

During a PRF EZ gel treatment, our team will take a small blood sample to create the injectable. The PRF EZ gel is thought to stimulate fibroblasts, or the cells in the skin responsible for producing collagen and elastin. PRF potentially has a slower, sustained release of growth factors due to its fibrin matrix, unlike PRP, which is thought to release them more rapidly. This slower release is thought to help extend the regenerative benefits of the treatment compared to PRP. (2)

PRF EZ Gel vs. Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers restore volume beneath the skin with flexible injectable formulas that allow for natural expressions and facial movements. Dermal fillers remain a popular way for patients to enhance their appearance with nonsurgical methods; in 2023, specialists performed more than 3.4 million treatments to help patients enhance their appearance. (3) Unlike PRF EZ gel, dermal fillers contain more synthetic ingredients. While certain biostimulatory fillers contain components that can help stimulate collagen, most do not have the regenerative properties of growth factors found in PRF EZ Gel.

Benefits

EZ PRF gel has several benefits, which include:

  • Natural-looking results: EZ PRF gel provides natural-looking volume and helps the skin repair itself for beautiful results.
  • Increased collagen levels: The growth factors in EZ PRF gel stimulate your skin’s collagen and elastin levels for a more youthful appearance.
  • Minimally invasive treatment: We can improve your appearance with a minimally invasive injection that provides long-lasting results.
  • Minimal downtime: You can return to most of your normal activities afterward as long as you avoid excessive sun exposure that could damage your skin.
  • Lasting results: Increasing your skin’s collagen and elastin levels can diminish signs of aging.
  • Well-tolerated treatment: Since we use the nutrients from your own blood, this treatment is well-tolerated and ideal for patients with sensitive skin.
  • Smoother skin: We can diminish fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother appearance.
  • Improved confidence: Many patients find that they feel better about their appearance after enhancing their skin.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Suitable candidates for this indication of PRF EZ gel would like to diminish the signs of facial aging beneath the eyes.

Ideal candidates for this treatment are typically nonsmokers or willing to quit temporarily. You should also have realistic expectations about what we can help you achieve with the treatment.

Those with mild to moderate under-eye hollowness, dark circles, or skin laxity may benefit the most from this minimally invasive option. If you’re looking for a regenerative treatment using your body’s natural growth factors rather than synthetic fillers, PRF EZ gel may be an excellent fit.

Consultation

During your consultation, we will ask about your medical history and medications to create a personalized treatment plan. We will also perform a physical examination and ask about any additional aesthetic goals you have. For optimal results, most patients receive two treatments spaced six weeks apart. If you have pronounced under-eye bags or skin laxity, we may recommend a lower eyelid lift for more extensive rejuvenation.

How to Prepare

To prepare for EZ PRF gel treatments, you should stop taking medications and supplements that thin the blood. You should also stay hydrated and avoid smoking. Taking good care of your skin and wearing sunblock are also important for achieving the best results. We recommend avoiding excessive sun exposure that could damage your skin in the weeks leading up to your procedure. We will also provide a personalized set of instructions before your treatment plan to help you prepare.

Treatment Process

The treatment process with EZ PRF gel will depend on your personalized plan. On the day of your treatment, you should have clean skin. We will take a small blood sample to create the EZ PRF gel. We purify the sample in a centrifuge to extract the purest fibrin from your blood and create an injectable serum. Next, we will administer the serum to your skin to provide natural-looking volume. You can return to your normal routine afterward as long as you avoid excessive sun exposure and refrain from strenuous exercise.

After Your Treatment

After treatment, some patients experience temporary skin irritation and/or mild swelling. You should avoid massaging the treatment area and strenuous exercise afterward. We can also recommend products to help you care for your skin at home for optimal results. If you take good care of your skin, you can enjoy results that last between three months and a year.

Results

After PRF EZ gel treatment, you can enjoy smoother skin and natural-looking volume. Over the next few weeks and months, the growth factors in the injectable serum will help your skin generate new collagen and elastin proteins to refresh your appearance. Patients who receive PRF can diminish under-eye hollows for a smoother, more awake appearance.

Additional Treatments

Dermaplaning

As you age, hormonal changes can cause more fine hairs to appear, and skin cell turnover slows down. Dermaplaning is a skincare treatment that exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells and fine hairs so you can enjoy smoother skin and a rejuvenated look.

Microneedling

Microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production. As you age, the collagen levels in your skin decline, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, and laxity that can affect your appearance. With microneedling, we can raise your skin’s collagen levels to help you achieve a smoother appearance for lasting results.

Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation is a treatment that increases the volume of your lips with injectables for a plumper appearance. As you age, volume loss can affect the lips and make you appear older than you are. With lip augmentation, we can help you improve your quality of life with cutting-edge treatments to help you feel your best.
