EZ Gel Skin Rejuvenation : Your Natural Approach to Youthful Skin
EZ Gel uses platelet-rich fibrin to gently restore volume, refine texture, and rejuvenate your skin for a refreshed, youthful look.
A Natural Way To Restore Volume And Smooth Your Skin
EZ Gel is an injectable treatment made from your own blood. It is designed to stimulate collagen and elastin for natural looking volume, softer lines, and healthier skin.
Many patients choose EZ Gel when they want a subtle, refreshed look with minimal downtime.
What Is EZ Gel
EZ Gel is created from platelet rich fibrin, also called PRF. A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate growth factors and proteins. The PRF is then gently heated and cooled to form a smooth gel.
This autologous gel is injected where you want support and rejuvenation. Because it comes from your own body, the risk of allergy is very low.
How It Works
EZ Gel harnesses the power of your own blood to naturally restore and rejuvenate your skin.
- Growth factor delivery. PRF carries signaling factors that support cellular repair.
- Collagen and elastin stimulation. Your skin gradually becomes firmer and more resilient.
- Gentle volume. The gel provides soft contour and smoothing without a heavy or overfilled look.
By working with your body’s biology, EZ Gel delivers subtle enhancements that improve texture, firmness, and overall skin health over time.
Treatment Areas
EZ Gel can be used in a wide range of areas to restore balance, soften lines, and refresh your natural features.
- Under eyes
- Cheeks and midface
- Temples
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Lips and perioral lines
- Jawline refinement
At Balikian Plastic Surgery, we will create a personalized treatment plan that targets these areas with precision for subtle, refreshed results that look completely natural.
Who Is A Good Candidate
You may be a strong candidate if you want a natural approach to:
- Softening fine lines and early wrinkles

Your provider will review your goals, medical history, and the treatment plan that fits your anatomy.
What To Expect
At Balikian Plastic Surgery, we prioritize your comfort and confidence throughout every step of treatment. From the moment you arrive, our team will guide you through a simple, personalized process designed to deliver natural, lasting results with minimal downtime.
Your Visit
Your EZ Gel treatment is designed to be simple, comfortable, and personalized to your needs from start to finish.
- Consultation. We review goals and create a targeted plan.
- Blood draw and preparation. A small blood sample is processed to create PRF, then converted into a smooth gel.
- Numbing and injection. A topical anesthetic is applied when appropriate. EZ Gel is placed with fine needles or cannulas for precision.
- Finish and aftercare. You receive simple instructions and can usually return to normal activity the same day.
By the end of your visit, you will leave with a refreshed look, clear aftercare instructions, and minimal interruption to your daily routine.
Sensations And Downtime
Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable. Expect mild redness, swelling, or bruising that settles within a few days.
Makeup can usually be worn the next day unless your provider advises otherwise.
Results And Timeline
EZ Gel delivers results that develop naturally, allowing your skin to look refreshed and renewed at a comfortable pace.
- Early glow. Hydration and radiance often improve within days.
- Visible smoothing. Fine lines and texture refine over the next several weeks.
- Collagen remodeling. Firmness and elasticity continue to improve for one to three months.
- Longevity. Results vary by area and lifestyle. Many patients schedule maintenance once or twice per year to support ongoing collagen production.
With regular maintenance and professional care, your results can continue to improve and keep your skin looking healthy and vibrant over time.
EZ Gel vs Traditional Fillers
Understanding the differences between EZ Gel and traditional fillers helps you choose the right approach for your goals.
- Source. EZ Gel is autologous and made from your own blood. Hyaluronic acid fillers are synthetic and premixed.
- Look and feel. EZ Gel aims for soft, subtle contour and skin quality gains. HA fillers can deliver more immediate lift and structure when larger volume is needed.
- Longevity. Timelines vary. EZ Gel focuses on regenerative changes that build gradually. HA fillers provide instant volume and can be dissolved if needed.
- Best use. EZ Gel excels in delicate areas and in patients who prefer a natural option. Your provider may recommend using EZ Gel alone or in combination with other treatments.
At Balikian Plastic Surgery, Dr. Balikian and his team will guide you in selecting the ideal treatment or combination to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
Pairing With Other Treatments
EZ Gel can be combined with:
- Microneedling for texture and tone
- Light based therapies for recovery support
- Neuromodulators for expression lines
- Hyaluronic acid fillers when additional structure is required
At Balikian Plastic Surgery we will carefully plan and sequence your treatments for comfort and exceptional results.

EZ Gel FAQs
How is EZ Gel different from standard PRF or PRP treatments?
EZ Gel uses the latest albumin-PRF (Alb-PRF) technology — a blend of your plasma proteins and platelets that’s gently heated and cooled to form a smooth gel. This process stabilizes the PRF, creating slower growth-factor release and longer-lasting results than traditional liquid PRP or PRF.
How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?
Most patients notice gradual improvement in texture and luminosity within a few weeks, with best results developing over 2–3 months as collagen forms. Clinical studies of injectable PRF show effects lasting 6–12 months, and the albumin component in EZ Gel may help extend longevity further.
Is there downtime or recovery after EZ Gel injections?
Recovery is minimal. You might see light swelling, redness, or bruising for a day or two, similar to standard filler treatments. Since it’s autologous, allergic reactions are exceedingly rare. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
Can EZ Gel replace all fillers?
Not always. EZ Gel is ideal for natural refinement and skin quality. When significant lift or sharp definition is desired, we may recommend pairing EZ Gel with other fillers.
What makes EZ Gel a natural alternative to fillers?
EZ Gel comes entirely from your own blood — no synthetic additives or foreign materials. It stimulates collagen and elastin production rather than simply filling space, which makes it a biostimulatory treatment rather than a traditional filler.
Is EZ Gel effective for under-eye hollows or thin skin?
Yes. Because EZ Gel improves both volume and tissue quality, it’s ideal for delicate areas like the under-eyes, temples, and cheeks. A clinical study on periorbital PRF injections showed meaningful wrinkle reduction and improved firmness after several sessions.
How many sessions are recommended for best results?
A series of two to three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, produces the most consistent improvement. This approach mirrors published PRF protocols showing visible rejuvenation after multiple treatments.
Can EZ Gel be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Absolutely. EZ Gel pairs beautifully with microneedling, laser resurfacing, or fillers for enhanced rejuvenation. Scientific reviews highlight improved collagen remodeling when PRF is layered with collagen-inducing or energy-based devices.
Is EZ Gel suitable for mature skin or patients over 50?
Yes. Research shows that even in older patients, PRF therapy can boost skin density and dermal thickness, improving tone and elasticity. Because the growth factors are your own, results adapt naturally to your skin’s biology.
