PRF + EZGEL Information & Instructions

What is PRF + EZGEL?

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a natural, autologous concentrate derived from your own blood, rich in platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells. It promotes healing, collagen production, and skin rejuvenation.

EZGEL, from CosmoFrance, is a 100% natural gel made from your own PRF. It is created by processing the blood into a thermally activated, smooth gel, offering volume, hydration, and regenerative effects. It’s often referred to as the “natural filler” because it enhances facial volume and quality without synthetic materials.

This combination is used to treat:

• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Under-eye hollows/dark circles
• Volume loss
• Skin laxity & texture issues
• Overall skin rejuvenation

 

Pre-Treatment Instructions

To ensure the best possible results and minimize risks:

One Week Before:

• Avoid blood-thinning agents like:
• Aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen
• Fish oil, vitamin E, garlic supplements, Ginkgo
• Alcohol
• Consider taking Arnica montana starting 2 days prior to reduce bruising (optional).
• Avoid cosmetic treatments (lasers, chemical peels, microneedling) on the area to be treated for 7–10 days before your appointment.

 

24–48 Hours Before:

• Stay well-hydrated — drink plenty of water.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking.
• Eat a healthy meal prior to your appointment to reduce risk of lightheadedness during blood draw.
• Avoid intense workouts or heat exposure before your treatment.

 

Day of Treatment

• Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
• A small amount of your blood will be drawn and processed on-site to create PRF and EZGEL.
• The treatment area will be numbed with topical anesthetic if needed.
• Injections are performed with a small needle or cannula, depending on the area.
• Mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising may occur during or shortly after the procedure.

 

Post-Treatment Instructions

What to Expect:

• Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising may occur, especially in delicate areas like under the eyes.
• Swelling may increase slightly over the first 24 hours and typically subsides within 2–4 days.
• Results appear gradually as the PRF stimulates collagen and tissue regeneration. Final results take 4–8 weeks, and optimal results may require a series of 2–3 treatments.

 

Do:

• Apply cold compresses (10–15 mins on/off) for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling.
• Sleep with your head elevated the first night.
• Use Tylenol (acetaminophen) if needed for discomfort.
• Keep the area clean and avoid touching or applying makeup for at least 12–24 hours.

 

Avoid for 24–48 Hours:

• Strenuous exercise or sweating
• Alcohol and smoking
• Makeup, harsh skincare, or exfoliants
• Saunas, steam rooms, or hot baths
• Facial massage or pressure on the treated area

 

Avoid for 7 Days:

• Microneedling, facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments
• Retinoids, acids, or other active skincare products unless directed otherwise

 

Follow-Up & Maintenance

• A series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for best results.
• Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months can help preserve results.
• Your provider will create a personalized plan based on your skin’s needs and your goals.
