How is EZGEL PRF different from traditional fillers?
Dr. Pontius: While traditional fillers like hyaluronic acid products provide volume by filling the treated area, EZGEL PRF promotes your body’s own healing processes. It works to restore volume and improve skin quality by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin texture naturally. Unlike fillers, which are synthetic, PRF uses your own cells, making it a more holistic approach to facial rejuvenation.
What are the main benefits of using EZGEL PRF for facial rejuvenation?
Dr. Pontius: EZGEL PRF offers several benefits, including:
- Natural results: Since it uses your own blood components, the results are subtle and natural-looking.
- Long-lasting effects: The regenerative properties of PRF help to stimulate collagen over time, making the results last longer than many traditional fillers.
- Safe and biocompatible: Because the material comes from your own body, there’s little to no risk of allergic reactions or complications.
- Versatility: EZGEL PRF can treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and under-eye hollows, among other areas.
Who is a good candidate for EZGEL PRF treatment?
Dr. Pontius: EZGEL PRF is ideal for patients looking for natural facial rejuvenation without synthetic fillers. It’s perfect for those wanting to improve skin texture, address fine lines, or add subtle volume in areas like the under-eyes or cheeks. Patients with signs of aging or those who prefer a more natural approach to facial aesthetics are excellent candidates. However, a consultation is necessary to determine if PRF is the right treatment for you.
What is the treatment process like, and how many sessions are needed?
Dr. Pontius: The EZGEL PRF treatment is quick and minimally invasive. First, we draw a small amount of your blood and process it to extract the PRF. The gel is then injected into the areas of concern, such as the under-eye hollows, cheeks, or other regions showing signs of aging. We recommend a series of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Each session takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and most patients experience minimal downtime afterward.
How long does it take to see results, and how long do they last?
Dr. Pontius: Patients typically start noticing improvements in their skin within a few weeks as the PRF stimulates collagen production. The results continue to improve over the next several months, with the full effect visible after 3-6 months. The longevity of the results varies depending on individual factors but generally lasts 12-18 months. After completing the recommended 3 treatments, many patients enjoy long-lasting rejuvenation.
Is there any downtime after the EZGEL PRF treatment?
Dr. Pontius: One of the great benefits of EZGEL PRF is that there’s minimal downtime. Patients may experience some mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but this typically subsides within a few days. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
