EZ Gel
EZ Gel is a100% natural filler
made from your own body.
EZ Gel
EZ GEL blends Platelet-Rich Fibrin with Albumin to create a viscous filler gel. Beyond serving as a filler, it promotes cell growth and gradually releases growth factors. The outcome is a natural, rejuvenating effect with long-lasting results.
EZ GEL is an autologous plasma filler designed for treating various facial areas, including under-eyes, crow's feet, eyebrows, lips, and chin. Free from additives, chemicals, or artificial compounds, EZ GEL is created using components derived solely from your own blood.
What should I expect?
EZ Gel treatment has the benefit of very little downtime and a quick procedure. Before your treatment, you'll talk with one of our aesthetic nurses about your goals to see if EZ Gel is right for you. Once we make a plan, we'll decide how much product is needed, which will affect how much blood we need to collect. It’s a good idea to come well-hydrated to help with blood collection. After we draw and prepare the blood, we might numb the area to make you more comfortable. The gel is then injected into the target areas using a small cannula (blunt needle). The whole process takes less than an hour.

FAQ's
-
What are the benefits of using EZ Gel?
- Natural and Safe: Made from your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
- Versatile: Treats various areas like under-eyes, lips, chin, and more.
- Long-Lasting: Offers longer-lasting results compared to traditional fillers.
- Minimally Invasive: No need for incisions or general anesthesia.
- Immediate Results: Noticeable improvements right after the procedure.
- Minimal Downtime: Minor side effects like redness and swelling typically resolve in about 3 days. - How does EZ Gel work?
- EZ Gel utilizes proteins and growth factors derived from your blood. A small blood sample is processed to separate the plasma and platelets. These components are then combined to form a gel that is injected into targeted areas. The gel stimulates collagen production, cell growth, and the gradual release of growth factors, leading to improved skin volume and texture. - ​How is the EZ Gel procedure performed?
The procedure involves four simple steps:
1. Blood is drawn from your arm.
2. The blood is spun using the centrifuge to separate the plasma and prepare Albumin-Rich Plasma.
3. Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is prepared with the EZCOOL device.
4. The Albumin-Rich Plasma and PRF are mixed to create the EZ Gel filler. - Is there any downtime after the procedure?
There is little to no downtime. Minor side effects like redness and swelling may occur but usually subside within 3 days. - Can EZ Gel be combined with other treatments?
Yes, EZ Gel can be used alongside other cosmetic therapies like microneedling, laser treatments, and neurotoxin injections for enhanced results. - Why choose EZ Gel over other fillers?
EZ Gel offers a natural, safe, and effective alternative to traditional fillers. It leverages your own blood components, reducing the risk of adverse reactions, and provides immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime. - How many sessions do I need and how long do they last?
You will need 2-3 treatment sessions with EZ Gel over the course of 8-12 weeks. The filler effect lasts for 3-4 months, while the regenerative benefits can last for 6-12 months. - What are the side effects of EZ gel filler?
Possible side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site, which are typically temporary. Because EZ Gel is derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is significantly reduced. - Can you dissolve EZ Gel?
Unlike some synthetic fillers that can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, EZ Gel cannot be dissolved since it is made from the patient’s own biological material. Adjustments or corrections would need to be managed through natural absorption over time or with additional treatments.
