PRF EZGel
100% natural bio-stimulating injections to treat under-eyes, nasolabial folds, peri-oral lines, and neck lines! This treatment does not have ANY additives or filler. It is made 100% from your blood products.
What are autologous biostimulating injections? —> These are filler-free injectables that can be used to treat fine lines, thin skin, under eye hollows, and hair loss. The more well known treatment is called PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma.) During this procedure, we draw your blood and spin the blood in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the blood. The plasma that is obtained by spinning the blood is then typically injected into the skin because it contains growth factors which help promote healing and collagen production. By injecting this into the skin, we can see an increase in collagen production which can thicken the skin. As the skin under the eyes thickens with increased collagen, it becomes less translucent, masking the dark circles caused by visible blood vessels or hollow tear troughs.
How is PRF (platelet rich fibrin) different? —> traditionally, the tubes that were used to obtain the blood in PRP injections contain heparin. Heparin keeps the blood from clotting in the tube. However, current research shows that if we eliminate heparin from the tube and allow the blood to clot, we actually see a fibrin scaffold form. When this happens, we see a more prolonged release of growth factors. With PRP, you typically only have a couple hours of growth factor release. with PRF, we can see days of growth factor release. This means that the skin is receiving growth factors for 10-12 days as opposed to mere hours with PRP! Over the next few months after your treatment, your collagen production will increase and you undereyes will improve without ANY FILLER.
Now what is PRF EZGel? —> typically one of the complaints that people have about PRP/PRF is that you have to wait to see results. As previously stated, this can require multiple treatments to see a cumulative effect on the under eye area. So, to take the PRF a step further and provide better results immediately, we can process the blood through heating and cooling mechanisms that result in a gel-like product. This product is 100% made from your own blood with 0 additives and NO FILLER. This means you get all of the benefits of PRF over time (thickening of the skin, improvement of dark circles) while also seeing an immediate improvement in the under eye area the way you do with filler! We combine the safety of PRP injections using your own blood products with the immediate improvement of under eye that is seen with under eye filler! so while you’re enjoying the results of your under eye filler, the growth factors from the PRF. We can add filler if desired for a much more natural filler effect under the eyes!
