Both are autologous, growth factor-based treatments derived from your own blood. PRP is a liquid platelet concentrate delivering growth factors as an immediate bolus. PRF EZ Gel is a fibrin matrix releasing them slowly over time. For skin and under-eye applications, PRF’s slower release may sustain the regenerative signal longer.

PRP is used as a standalone injectable for under-eye hollows and fine surface lines, topically during microneedling to amplify collagen induction, and in scalp treatment for hair restoration.

Most clients begin seeing improvement within three to six months. A series of three to six treatments is typically recommended for optimal outcome, spaced according to your provider’s protocol.

Hydrate well in the days before your appointment. Avoid alcohol the day before, it causes cellular dehydration. Avoid retinoids, glycolic acid, and Vitamin C products for one week prior. Avoid blood-thinning supplements and NSAIDs for at least one week before treatment.

Avoid touching the injection site, applying makeup, swimming, or strenuous exercise for the first 24 to 48 hours. Avoid direct sun exposure and significant temperature changes for three days. Your provider will give you specific instructions based on the treatment area and protocol used.

Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is effectively eliminated. It is one of the most biocompatible treatments available. As with any injection, there is a small possibility of temporary bruising or swelling at the treatment site, which resolves on its own.

Most people see the best results from a series of two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. After that, a single maintenance session once or twice a year is typically enough to sustain what has been built. Your injector will give you a more specific recommendation based on what you are addressing.

The blood draw is standard, brief and unremarkable. For the treatment itself, a topical numbing agent is applied beforehand to keep discomfort minimal. Most people describe the sensation as mild pressure. The under-eye area is the most sensitive zone, and your injector will move through it carefully.

It pairs well with several treatments, particularly microneedling, where the PRP is applied directly into the micro-channels for deeper absorption, and with filler, where PRP can support longevity and integrate naturally with structural correction. Your injector will tell you what makes sense together and in what order.
