Incredibly Natural Rejuvenation
It’s our ultimate goal at Self Care LA to offer patients the most innovative and effective treatments available for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. Led by Dr. Bharat Kothakota, we provide patients in Santa Monica EZ GEL treatments for a natural way to see added volume and reduced wrinkles and to enjoy renewed confidence and vibrant skin.
Renewal That Starts With You
Unlike synthetic fillers, EZ GEL is entirely autologous, which means that it’s made from your own blood. This makes it biocompatible, safe, and ideal for patients seeking to find an approach to facial rejuvenation that does not involve foreign substances. This innovative injectable is made of combined Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Albumin-Rich Plasma (ARP) extracted from the patient’s blood and converted into a gel-like consistency. These components are packed with growth factors and healing properties, and when injected into the face, they stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and restore volume gradually over time.
A PRF Level Up
While both PRF and EZ GEL harness the healing power of your body’s platelets and plasma, there are key differences. PRF is in liquid form when it is injected into the target area in order to stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen production. PRF typically results in a shorter duration and typically requires more frequent treatments. EZ GEL, on the other hand, takes PRF to the next level by heating and cooling the PRF to create a smooth gel-like consistency that remains in place longer, offering a natural plumping effect and sustained results.
What Can EZ Gel Do For Me?
This treatment not only adds volume and fades wrinkles, it also helps improve skin texture and provides overall vibrancy. With a soft, natural look and virtually no downtime, EZ GEL offers an incredible alternative to traditional fillers. Our Santa Monica, CA EZ GEL patients enjoy a variety of benefits like:
Pick Your Perfect Treatment Plan
Ideal candidates for EZ GEL are those noticing early signs of volume loss, dull skin, or fine lines, especially in delicate areas like the under-eyes or lips. Patients are also typically individuals who are concerned about synthetic fillers or want a more natural-looking result. Patients should have realistic expectations about the subtle, progressive nature of results, and those who are seeking more dramatic changes may not be best suited.
Simple, Safe, Natural
The components needed for this treatment, PRF and ARP, are created via a simple, in-office blood draw. Once the blood is collected, it is spun in a specialized centrifuge at a relatively slower speed meant to preserve more healing cells, including platelets and fibrin, allowing for a richer, more potent final product. The resulting serum is then processed through a controlled heating and cooling system to convert it into a gel form, which is what gives EZ GEL its unique consistency and sustained results.
What To Expect
To start, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. Using precise injection techniques, the EZ GEL is administered into the target areas, such as under the eyes, cheeks, or nasolabial folds, for a volumized, smooth result. The entire process typically takes under an hour, and most patients report only minimal discomfort.
Your Path To Natural Radiance
Initial results from EZ GEL can begin to appear within one to two weeks as the gel integrates and stimulates collagen production. Full results develop gradually over several weeks, offering a subtle but noticeable improvement. There is little to no downtime after EZ GEL, so most patients can return to their normal activities right away, though some swelling or minor bruising may occur at the injection sites. Since EZ GEL uses your own plasma, the body naturally metabolizes it over time, but the benefits are typically visible for around six months or more.

While a topical anesthetic can be used during injections for maximum comfort, most patients do not consider this treatment painful and only experience the small pinch of the needle.
Minor bruising or redness at the injection site could occur, but this typically resolves quickly on its own. More significant side effects, like allergic reactions or infections, are extremely rare.
Results are usually visible around several days to weeks after treatment as the serum has time to work and stimulate the healing process.
Most patients see great results with EZ GEL for around three to six months, and the regenerative benefits may last as long as a year in some patients.
The cost of EZ GEL will vary depending on the extent of treatment and each individual's specific needs.
