In the world of aesthetic medicine, innovation is constant, and EZ Gel is the latest game-changer. This innovative injectable is gaining popularity for its ability to achieve natural-looking results by harnessing the body’s own healing mechanisms. Let us dive into what makes EZ Gel a standout option for those seeking youthful rejuvenation.
What is EZ Gel?
EZ Gel is a 100% natural, autologous bio-filler (also known as bio-filler with plasma filler) derived from your own blood. It is created by processing Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), which is then heated to form a gel matrix. This creates a volumizing and regenerative injectable that promotes skin rejuvenation.
It is a natural, injectable filler that uses a patient’s own blood to improve skin quality and restore facial volume!
How Does EZ Gel Work?
EZ Gel utilizes the growth factors present in PRF, which are renowned for their regenerative properties. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the PRF, and then heating it a portion of it to form a gel. This gel is then injected into the desired areas, where it stimulates collagen production, enhances hydration, and improves tissue elasticity.
Treatment Options and Injection Areas
EZ Gel can be used for a variety of aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, including:
- Facial Rejuvenation: Smooth fine lines and wrinkles, add volume, and improve skin texture.
- Under-Eye Treatment: Reduce hollowness, fine lines, and dark circles for a refreshed appearance. {link to a B&A of this treatment}
- Hands: Replenish lost volume and improve skin quality.
How is EZ Gel Different from Other Injectables?
- Botox and Dysport: These are neuromodulators that temporarily paralyze muscles to reduce wrinkles. EZ Gel, on the other hand, focuses on improving skin quality. With Botox/Dysport, you will need a treatment every 3 to 4 months.
- Fillers (e.g., hyaluronic acid): Traditional fillers add volume but don’t necessarily improve skin quality. EZ Gel offers the dual benefit of volume restoration and tissue rejuvenation. With fillers, you will need treatment every 6 to 12 months depending on the area and lifestyle.
- Sculptra: While Sculptra stimulates collagen production over time, EZ Gel achieves this effect while also immediately volumizing. Sculptra is not safe for use in the under eye area, making EZ Gel the safest option for this area. With Sculptra, you may need 1-2 treatments 4-6 weeks apart (about 1 and a half months) and a touch up treatment every 1 to 2 years depending on your lifestyle.
PRF vs. EZ Gel
While both PRF and EZ Gel are derived from your blood, their applications and consistencies differ:
- PRF: A liquid used primarily for its regenerative properties, often in combination with microneedling or lasers. It assists with skin rejuvenation as well but is slightly less effective than EZ Gel. {link to PRF B&A}
- EZ Gel: A thicker, gel-like substance that provides both immediate volumizing and long-term skin improvement. {link to EZ Gel B&A}
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
During the Procedure:
- A small blood draw is performed.
- The blood is processed to isolate PRF and create the gel.
- EZ Gel is injected into the target areas.
After the Procedure:
- Minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
- Results improve over weeks as collagen production is stimulated.
- A follow-up session may be recommended for optimal outcomes.
