Did you know that your very own blood can be used to create a natural alternative to standard fillers? PlasmaGel, also known as EZgel, is a game-changing injectable gel that creates subtle, and natural-looking results without using any chemicals or additives.
This pioneering new technology uses a sample of your blood to produce a custom concentration of volumizing proteins and rejuvenating growth factors, naturally stimulating and maximizing your cell’s regenerative process for a youthful glow, enhanced volume and collagen stimulation.
This restorative, skin-boosting treatment is top-tier for patients who are looking for that natural, never-seen-a-needle look!
Keep reading to learn all about PlasmaGel, how it works, why it’s an amazing option for skin rejuvenation, and what you can expect from the treatment process at Clarity.
How Does the PlasmaGel Process Work?
At Clarity we use the best collection system on the market: EZPRF, which produces Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) from your unique blood sample.
First, two tubes of your blood will be drawn and spun in a centrifuge. Once the cycle is complete, your PRF will be subjected to a unique cooling and heating process. PlasmaGel combines the heated albumin, or protein, of your blood plasma and the growth factors of the PRF concentrate. Basically, it’s your body’s own filler!
What makes the EZPRF collection system so exceptional is that it produces more platelets per sample as well as immune-strengthening leukocytes (white blood cells) and powerful mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
There are no chemical additives or modifications made, making it a safe option for anyone looking to enhance their appearance the natural way.
Why Is PRF Better Than Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
While still effective in many cases, PRP had its heyday as the gold-standard in the early 2000s; with PRF, technology has advanced into a new technique. EZPRF offers the most progressive collection process we’ve ever found. We use only the best at Clarity!
Essentially, EZPRF creates a unique fibrin matrix (or scaffolding) for your skin that’s rich in platelets, leukocytes and MSCs.
This process causes a steady release of growth factors and interleukins (which regulate cell growth) for 10-12 days, accelerating the tissue healing and regeneration process and creating natural-looking and long-lasting results.

What Areas Can PlasmaGel Treat?
Because of its subtle nature, PlasmaGel is best for subtle, natural looking improvements. Since it’s derived from your own blood, it creates organic results and beautifully enhanced volume.
The best areas to treat with PlasmaGel include the midface, nasolabial folds/laugh lines, temples, under-eye area, jowls or jawline, smoker’s lines around the mouth, lips, chest, and neck.
PlasmaGel can also improve skin texture by minimizing crepiness and pore size on the chest and neck. In addition, it can stimulate your skin’s collagen production and help with facial symmetry adjustments.
How Many Treatments Does PlasmaGel Require?
Two treatments. At each session, our trained professionals will first inject PlasmaGel into the treatment areas using standard dermal filler injection techniques for subtle volume correction. Next, PRF will be superficially injected for skin rejuvenation effects.
You can expect a 90-minute appointment time due to the blood draw and preparation process. Because the injections are done over the course of two treatments, it creates a less noticeable, more natural look.
How Quickly Does PlasmaGel Work? What About Downtime or Complications?
You’ll see the results of PlasmaGel immediately after injection and you can expect your appearance to improve for up to three months as collagen continues to increase. Results may last for up to one year (with maintenance as needed since the aging process never stops).
Complications with PlasmaGel are extremely rare, and there is little to no downtime. Some mild swelling, bruising, or redness can occur at injection sites and patients are asked to avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours after each treatment.
