PRP/PRF EZ GEL Injections

Explore PRP, PRF and EZ Gel.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a preparation made from a small sample of your own blood. After processing, the platelet-rich portion can be used in selected aesthetic treatments involving the skin or scalp. Platelets contain growth factors involved in normal tissue repair, but results from cosmetic PRP treatments vary and are not guaranteed.

What is PRP used for?

Depending on your individual needs and your provider’s assessment, PRP may be considered for certain skin-rejuvenation approaches or scalp treatments addressing some forms of hair thinning. It can also be discussed alongside procedures such as microneedling. Evidence differs by indication, and cosmetic uses are not FDA-approved indications for PRP itself.

How is PRP prepared?

A clinician draws a small blood sample and places it in a centrifuge to separate its components. The platelet-rich fraction is then prepared for the planned treatment. Because PRP comes from your own blood, it does not involve donor blood or a synthetic filler.

What is PRF?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a preparation derived from your own blood that contains platelets and a fibrin network. It is processed differently from PRP and may be considered for selected facial skin-quality concerns, including texture and fine lines. Evidence is still developing and results vary.

What is PRF EZ Gel?

PRF EZ Gel is a gel-like preparation made from components of your own blood through a specialized preparation process. It may be considered for selected facial areas where subtle, temporary soft-tissue support is desired. Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid fillers, the degree and duration of volume enhancement can be less predictable.

Your treatment experience

Your provider first reviews your goals, medical history and medications to determine whether PRP is appropriate. After the blood draw and preparation, PRP, PRF or EZ Gel may be used according to your individualized treatment plan. Your provider will discuss comfort measures and the areas to be treated.

How many sessions are needed?

Some treatment plans involve a series of appointments rather than a single session. The number and spacing of visits depend on the concern being treated and your response. Your injector will explain the recommended schedule during consultation.

Results and recovery

Changes, if they occur, tend to develop gradually over weeks to months. Mild swelling, tenderness, redness or bruising may follow injections or associated procedures. Your provider will explain aftercare, when to resume normal activities and when to reassess results. PRP cannot guarantee hair regrowth or a particular skin improvement.

Safety and suitability

Although PRP is prepared from your own blood, treatment still involves risks such as pain, bleeding, bruising, infection and reactions associated with the procedure. Certain blood disorders, active infections, medical conditions or medications may affect eligibility. A medical assessment is important before proceeding.
