Some clients have noticed a little bit of discomfort immediately after their injection session. If this seems to be the case for you, feel free to ask us about any aftercare suggestions we can give you! Many patients have found relief by taking over-the-counter medicines, such as Tylenol.

What does EZ Gel PRF do?
Platelet-rich fibrin (or PRF) is the next generation of platelet-rich plasma (or PRP) treatments. PRF is a 100% natural substance derived from your blood that can treat areas of the face that show the first signs of aging. This includes under-eye hollows, deflated cheeks, and even the scalp for hair restoration.
To perform a PRF treatment at About Face Aesthetics in Philadelphia, we collect plasma from your blood. When spun in the centrifuge without additives, the blood separates into different components. One of those components is the rich fibrin matrix that we inject back into the body to jumpstart your tissue’s healing process.

Topical Numbing
Topical numbing creams provide effective pain relief for moderately uncomfortable skin treatments.
Pronox
Pronox is a 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Often called “laughing gas,” it relieves anxiety and pain.
Lidocaine Injection
For a deeper level of numbing, we can utilize lidocaine injections.
Preparing and caring for your PRF injections
Following our pre-care and post-care advice helps ensure successful results from your injection.
-
1 week prior, wear sunscreen for the week leading up to your appointment to help prevent UV damage.
-
3 days prior, begin drinking at least 64 oz. of water each day before your PRF treatment.
-
Avoid blood-thinning agents, such as alcohol and certain medicines.
-
When you’re ready to wash your face, wash your hands with soap first. Wash your face using lukewarm water only; avoid cleansers. Then, delicately pat dry. Wash in this way for 3 days.
-
Sleep on your back for 2 nights.
-
Avoid touching your face for at least 6 hours following your facial.
-
Do not use exfoliating products for at least 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you will see and feel a difference in your skin after just one treatment! But, of course, PRF will be most effective when the full treatment series is completed, so we recommend returning for any additional injections or maintenance appointments.
For maximum results, a series of 4 initial monthly treatments are recommended with a 6-month touch-up, then annual sessions for maintenance. You may see a slight improvement after 1 or 2 sessions, but you should see the optimal results from PRF in Philadelphia after 2 sessions!
