WHAT IS PRF/EZ GEL PRF
WHAT IS PRF/EZ GEL PRF
PRF (platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a next generation 100% natural, regenerative treatment made from your own blood. It uses your body’s own platelets and natural growth factors to rejuvenate the skin, improve texture, reduce fine lines, restores volume and increase collagen production. This is a natural approach to anti-aging and skin restoration
WHERE CAN IT BE USED
PRF can be injected or applied topically. Common uses include:
Under Eye Rejuvenation: Reduces hollowness, dark circles and fine lines
Scalp For Hair Restoration: stimulates dormant hair follicles
Facial Volume/Texture Restoration: Helps improve texture and skin elasticity in the face (cheeks, chin, jawline, nasolabial folds, temples)
WHERE CAN IT BE USED
Both PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are regenerative treatments created from your own blood. While they are similar in concept, they differ in how they are processed and how they work within the body.
1. Processing Method
- PRP: Spun at high speed and combined with anticoagulants to prevent clotting.
- PRF: Spun at a lower speed with no additives, allowing a natural clot to form.
2. Release of Growth Factors
- PRP: Releases growth factors quickly, typically within the first few hours after injection.
- PRF: Releases growth factors gradually over 7–10 days, supporting longer-lasting regenerative activity.
3. Composition
- PRP: Contains platelets but generally fewer white blood cells and stem cells.
- PRF: Contains a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, fibrin, and stem cells, making it more regenerative.
4. Fibrin Matrix (Scaffold Effect)
- PRP: Does not contain a fibrin matrix, so it diffuses quickly into surrounding tissue.
- PRF: Forms a fibrin mesh scaffold that holds platelets in place and supports gradual healing and collagen production.
5. Results & Longevity
- PRP: Results are noticeable but typically shorter-lived.
- PRF: Results tend to be more natural and longer-lasting due to sustained growth factor release and ongoing healing.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- A quick blood draw will be done and processed to create your PRF.
- PRF will be injected or applied depending on the treatment area (under eyes, scalp, face, etc.).
- Mild swelling or bruising is normal and temporary.
- Full results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen and tissue regeneration occur naturally.
- Typically, three treatments are recommended, spaced about 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months.
HOW TO PREPARE
- Hydrate well: Drink plenty of water for 2–3 days leading up to your appointment.
- Optional: Consider an IV hydration drip a few days to a week before treatment to support optimal blood quality.
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours prior to your appointment.
- Eat a healthy meal before arriving.
- If approved by your doctor, pause blood thinners such as Advil, aspirin, or fish oil to help minimize bruising.
PRP & EZ Gel PRF FAQs
Questions about platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and EZ Gel PRF treatments at Luxe House — natural, regenerative options that use your own blood to rejuvenate skin.What is PRP and EZ Gel PRF?
Both are made from a small sample of your own blood. We spin it down to isolate the platelets and growth factors that help your body heal and regenerate. PRP is platelet-rich plasma in liquid form. EZ Gel PRF is a longer-lasting gel made from platelet-rich fibrin, which acts as a natural filler and biostimulator.What’s the difference between PRP and EZ Gel PRF?
PRP is great for microneedling, hair restoration, and surface-level skin rejuvenation. EZ Gel PRF is thicker, lasts longer, and is ideal for restoring volume — under the eyes, in the cheeks, or in fine wrinkles — using nothing but your own biology.What can PRP and EZ Gel PRF treat?
Under-eye hollows, fine lines, dull or crepey skin, acne scarring, hair thinning, and overall skin tone and texture. EZ Gel PRF can also be used as a natural alternative to traditional dermal filler in select areas.Is PRP/PRF safe?
Because the product comes from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low. Side effects are usually limited to mild bruising or swelling.Does the procedure hurt?
The blood draw feels like any standard lab draw. The injection or microneedling portion is performed with topical numbing for comfort.When will I see results?
Some patients see initial brightness within a few days. The fuller results — improved tone, texture, and (for PRF) volume — develop over 6–12 weeks as your body builds new collagen.How long do results last?
PRP results typically last 12–18 months. EZ Gel PRF can last 9–12 months in volumized areas. A series of treatments is usually recommended for best results.How many sessions will I need?
Most patients see strong results from a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance once or twice a year.Is there downtime?
Minimal. You may have mild redness, swelling, or bruising for 1–3 days, especially if PRP is paired with microneedling or used under the eyes.Who is a good candidate?
Most healthy adults are candidates. PRP/PRF is a great fit if you prefer natural, regenerative treatments or want results without synthetic filler. We do not perform PRP/PRF if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain blood disorders.Don't Know Where to Begin?
