Restore Youthful Volume with PRF: The All-Natural Solution to Facial Aging

Starting in our 30s, we begin to lose volume in areas of the face such as under the eyes, in the cheeks, and around the mouth. As we age into our 40s and 50s, the skin and muscles start to stretch due to the loss of collagen and elastin. To address these changes and stimulate collagen production, tighten loose skin, and restore volume, there are many surgery-free options to choose from, including dermal fillers, thread lifts, lasers, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

One of the latest developments in this area is platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), an all-natural treatment that can target the common signs of aging, such as under-eye hollows and deflated cheeks. Much like PRP, PRF uses the body’s own growth factors to rejuvenate the skin and restore lost volume.

Though PRP and PRF are gaining popularity, they have not yet been FDA-approved, and there is currently no published scientific data to fully support the claims made about their effectiveness. As Dr. Robert Singer, a plastic surgeon from La Jolla, CA, notes, while the treatments show promise, more research is needed.

Despite this, the demand for organic rejuvenation treatments continues to rise, with patients increasingly turning to therapies like PRF that harness their own blood’s growth factors for cosmetic enhancement. Dr. Kian Karimi, a Los Angeles-based facial plastic surgeon, demonstrated the effectiveness of PRF on the show The Doctors, showcasing its potential as a “natural” filler.

As the industry moves forward, PRF remains an exciting option for those seeking non-invasive, all-natural facial rejuvenation. For those interested in exploring this new treatment, a consultation with an experienced professional like Dr. Pontius can provide valuable insight and personalized guidance.

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.
