PRF EZ Gel
PRF EZ Gel is a 100% natural, autologous (derived from the patient's own blood) injectable filler alternative that utilizes the body's own growth factors and platelets to rejuvenate the skin and add volume
. It is a type of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) gel that is processed to enhance its volumizing and biostimulating properties. PRF EZ Gel is used to address volume loss, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, particularly in areas like under the eyes, nasolabial folds, and cheeks.
How it works:
-
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRF from other blood components.
-
The PRF is then transformed into a gel-like consistency, often through a heating and cooling process, which helps to trap platelets and growth factors.
-
This PRF EZ Gel is then injected into the targeted areas of the face.
-
The growth factors released from the platelets stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to skin rejuvenation and volume restoration over time.
Benefits:
-
Natural and Autologous:
The use of the patient's own blood minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
-
Biostimulating:
It stimulates the body's natural collagen and elastin production, leading to long-lasting results.
-
Volume Enhancement:
It can add subtle volume to areas like under the eyes, cheeks, and temples.
-
Skin Rejuvenation:
It can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin tone and elasticity.
-
Minimal Downtime:
Side effects are typically limited to temporary bruising or swelling at the injection site.
Potential Side Effects:
While PRF EZ Gel is generally considered safe due to its autologous nature, some potential side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site.
Longevity of Results:
Results from PRF EZ Gel can last from 6 to 12 months or longer, with some individuals needing yearly maintenance treatments to maintain results. The duration of results can vary depending on individual factors like lifestyle, metabolism, and the amount of product used.
Key Differences from Traditional Fillers:
Unlike some traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, PRF EZ Gel is 100% natural and derived from the patient's own blood. While HA fillers provide immediate volume, PRF EZ Gel offers a more gradual and long-lasting result as it stimulates the body's own collagen production.
