PRF vs. PRF EZ Gel: What’s the Difference?

Both start with a small sample of your own blood. Both are 100% natural. And both have "PRF" in the name, so it's no wonder clients ask Katie what the difference is.

The short version: PRF microneedling is for your skin's surface. PRF EZ Gel is for volume. One improves texture, tone, and glow. The other is a natural filler. Here's how each one works.

First, what is PRF?

PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin. After a quick blood draw, your sample is spun to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells, the same healing messengers your body sends to repair skin.

PRF is a second-generation version of PRP (the "vampire facial"). PRP needs anticoagulants added to the tube. PRF doesn't, and it's spun more gently, so more of the good stuff is kept. It also forms a soft fibrin matrix that releases growth factors gradually instead of all at once.

PRF Microneedling: for texture, tone & glow

With PRF microneedling, your PRF is applied topically during a SkinPen microneedling session. SkinPen creates tiny micro-channels that signal your skin to build collagen, and your PRF goes right into those channels, delivering your own growth factors where your skin is rebuilding.

Best for:

• Acne scars
• Fine lines
• Enlarged pores and rough texture
• Dull or dehydrated skin that needs a glow

The details: about a 90-minute visit. Multiple sessions are recommended, since collagen keeps building with each treatment. $625 per session, or $1,675 for a package of 3.

PRF EZ Gel: a natural filler

With PRF EZ Gel, part of your PRF is gently heated into a soft gel, blended with liquid PRF, and injected where you want volume. It's filler, made fresh from your own blood during your visit, with nothing synthetic injected.

Best for:

• Under-eye hollows
• Smile lines
• Cheeks and soft volume loss
• Thin or crepey skin

The details: plan on about 120 minutes, since your filler is made fresh before Katie begins. Expect some swelling for a few days, and results keep improving over the following weeks as your skin builds collagen. $800 per session, or $2,250 for a package of 3.

Side by side

• How it's used: PRF microneedling is applied to the skin during microneedling. EZ Gel is injected as a filler.
• What it does: PRF microneedling improves texture, tone, and hydration. EZ Gel restores soft volume.
• Visit length: about 90 minutes vs. about 120 minutes.
• Downtime: microneedling usually means some redness. EZ Gel usually means some swelling for a few days.
• What they share: both are 100% you, both support your own collagen, and both work best as a series.

What about Juvéderm?

If you're deciding between EZ Gel and traditional filler: Juvéderm is best for sculpting and defined shape, like lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline, with results you see right away. EZ Gel is the natural choice for soft volume that builds over time. Not sure? That's exactly what your consultation is for.

Can I do both?

Absolutely. Many clients pair them: EZ Gel to restore volume, and PRF microneedling to refine texture and glow. Katie will map out the right plan and timing for your goals.

Quick answers

Is PRF the same as PRF EZ Gel?

No. Both start with your own platelet-rich fibrin, but PRF microneedling applies it topically during SkinPen to improve texture, tone, and hydration, while PRF EZ Gel heats part of your PRF into a soft gel that is injected as a natural filler to restore volume.

Is PRF EZ Gel 100% natural?

Yes. EZ Gel is made from your own blood during your visit, so nothing synthetic is injected.

How long does PRF EZ Gel last?

Results vary from person to person. Because EZ Gel supports your skin's own collagen, results build over time, and a series of treatments is recommended for the longest-lasting improvement.
