EZGEL® PRF Treatment in Newport Beach, CA
EZGEL® is an autologous injectable created from your own blood. It is designed to provide soft volume support while also supporting skin quality through the biological activity associated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). At LEA Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, EZGEL is used for patients who want a more natural-feeling approach to refresh areas like the under-eyes and smile lines, without relying on traditional synthetic dermal fillers.
LEA’s approach is simple: choose the right tool for the tissue, keep the outcome subtle, and build results through a plan that respects facial anatomy and skin biology.
What Is EZGEL®?
EZGEL is often described as an autologous “bio-filler” created by combining components derived from your blood into a smooth gel that can be injected into targeted areas of the face. A key concept in the published education around PRF and albumin is that thermally denatured albumin (albumin gel) can be combined with liquid PRF to create a gel-like material used in regenerative aesthetics.
Because the treatment is autologous, it is created during your visit and does not involve manufactured filler material.
Material Focus
Autologous, Not Synthetic
EZGEL is created from your own blood components, offering soft tissue support without manufactured fillers.
Use Case Focus
Ideal for Delicate Areas
EZGEL is commonly selected for areas such as the under-eyes and smile lines where subtle correction matters.
Outcome Focus
Soft, Gradual Improvement
Results develop naturally over time, supporting skin quality without sharp contouring or an overfilled look.
How EZGEL® Works
EZGEL treatment has two practical goals:
- Soft structural support
The gel consistency is used to support treated areas in a way that looks natural and avoids a stiff, overfilled appearance. - Skin-quality support over time
PRF is discussed in the regenerative aesthetics literature as a method associated with growth factor release and tissue signalling that may support gradual improvement in skin quality.
This is why EZGEL is typically positioned for patients who prefer subtle correction and skin quality improvement, rather than dramatic reshaping.
What EZGEL® Can Treat
At LEA Plastic Surgery, EZGEL is typically considered for areas where patients want soft correction and refreshed tissue quality.
Common treatment areas include:
- Under-eye hollows (tear trough region)
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Midface softness and early volume changes
- Fine lines in select areas (based on anatomy and candidacy)
Published clinical work on autologous filler approaches includes studies evaluating improvement in nasolabial folds with follow-up and patient satisfaction tracking.
EZGEL® vs Traditional Dermal Fillers
EZGEL and hyaluronic acid fillers can both improve the appearance of folds and hollowing, but they are not the same tool.
EZGEL tends to be preferred when you want:
- Softer correction
- A less “structured” feel
- A plan that leans regenerative and subtle
Traditional fillers tend to be preferred when you want:
- More defined shaping and contouring
- Stronger projection in areas like cheeks or jawline
- A more immediate, predictable volumising effect
During consultation, LEA will help you decide which direction fits your anatomy and expectations.
Why Patients Choose EZGEL®
Patients usually ask for EZGEL for one of these reasons:
- They want a natural-feeling correction
- They want to avoid synthetic filler material
- They want an under-eye refresh without a “puffy” look
- They prefer a gradual, biology-driven approach
This matches the broader regenerative aesthetics discussion around combining PRF and albumin gel concepts for tissue support and rejuvenation strategies.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical EZGEL visit includes:
- A brief medical review and facial assessment
- A small blood draw
- In-office preparation
- Targeted injections based on anatomy and goals
Treatment time varies by plan, but most visits are completed within about an hour.
Downtime and Recovery
Most patients describe recovery as manageable.
Common short-term effects can include:
- Mild swelling (especially under the eyes)
- Bruising at injection points
- Tenderness in treated areas
Many patients return to normal routines quickly, but bruising can last longer depending on the area treated and individual tendency.
When Results Appear
EZGEL is typically discussed in two phases:
- Early improvement: soft support and refreshed appearance soon after swelling settles
- Progressive improvement: gradual changes in skin quality over time, consistent with the regenerative concept discussed in PRF/albumin literature
If your main goal is instant contouring, a different injectable may be a better fit. If your goal is a subtle refresh, EZGEL may fit well.
How Long Results Last
Longevity varies based on:
- Treatment area
- Your biology
- Lifestyle factors
- Whether you maintain results with follow-up sessions
Clinical research on autologous filler approaches for folds reports follow-up over weeks to months (for example, 24-week follow-up in a nasolabial fold pilot study).
Who Is a Good Candidate?
EZGEL may be a good fit if you:
- Want subtle improvement, not dramatic reshaping
- Prefer autologous options
- Have early to moderate hollowing or folds
- Want a plan built around skin quality and facial harmony
EZGEL may not be ideal if you:
- Want strong structural volume
- Expect dramatic lifting from injections
- Need surgical correction for significant laxity
A consultation is the right place to match the technology to your face.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is EZGEL the same as PRP?
Not exactly. PRF and PRP are prepared differently, and PRF is commonly discussed as having a different growth factor release profile compared with PRP approaches.
Is there evidence behind autologous gel fillers?
Yes. Published studies include PPP gel as an autologous dermal filler approach and pilot clinical research evaluating autologous fillers for nasolabial folds.
Can EZGEL be used under the eyes?
It is commonly used in the tear trough region in clinical practice, but candidacy depends on anatomy and risk factors (thin skin, fluid retention tendency, etc.).
How many sessions will I need?
Some patients do one session, others plan a series. The right number depends on goals and baseline tissue.
What is downtime like?
Expect the possibility of swelling and bruising, especially around the eyes. Timing varies.
