Your Body's Own Healing Power — Amplified
What if the most powerful regenerative medicine was already inside you? Autologous biostimulants — PRF, and EZ Gel — use your own blood components to stimulate collagen production, accelerate tissue healing, and regenerate cells from within. There are no foreign substances, no synthetic materials, and no risk of allergic reaction. Just your body's own biology, concentrated and reintroduced where it's needed most.
The process begins with a simple blood draw. Your blood is then spun in a centrifuge, separating the platelet-rich fractions from red blood cells. The resulting concentrate — teeming with growth factors, cytokines, and regenerative proteins — is reinjected into targeted areas to stimulate collagen, restore volume, reverse hair loss, and rejuvenate skin at a cellular level. At Healing Aesthetics in Hinsdale, Dr. Maged Saad performs all autologous biostimulant treatments personally.
- ◆100% autologous — derived entirely from your own blood, zero foreign material
- ◆Three modalities — PRF, and EZ Gel for different depths of regeneration
- ◆Collagen stimulation — growth factors trigger your fibroblasts to produce new collagen
- ◆Hair restoration — reactivates dormant hair follicles for measurable density improvement
- ◆Pairs beautifully — synergistic with fillers, biostimulants, and resurfacing treatments
PRF vs. PRF vs. EZ Gel — Understanding the Difference
Each modality uses your own blood but processes it differently — resulting in distinct textures, release profiles, and ideal applications. Dr. Saad will recommend the right approach (or combination) for your specific goals.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin
An autologous concentrate processed without anticoagulants. The natural fibrin matrix holds platelets in a gel-like structure that releases growth factors slowly over days to weeks — amplifying the regenerative cascade for both hair restoration and skin rejuvenation.
- Best for hair loss (scalp injections) and skin rejuvenation with microneedling
- Sustained growth factor release over days to weeks
- Ideal for under-eye rejuvenation and fine areas
- Natural fibrin scaffold supports tissue regeneration
EZ Gel (Heated PRF)
The most advanced modality — PRF gently heated to body temperature, which causes the fibrin proteins to denature and solidify into a thick, injectable gel. The result: an autologous filler that adds volume while delivering regenerative growth factors simultaneously.
- Filler-like consistency from your own biology
- Adds immediate volume + long-term regeneration
- Ideal for under-eyes, temples, fine facial areas
- Zero allergy risk — entirely autologous
What to Expect
Blood Draw & Consultation
Your visit begins with a brief consultation and a simple blood draw — typically 10–20 ml from your arm. Dr. Saad assesses your goals to determine whether PRF, or EZ Gel is the right modality for your treatment.

“The most sophisticated regenerative medicine is the kind your body already knows how to make.”

Why Choose Healing Aesthetics for Autologous Biostimulants
Physician-Led Regenerative Medicine
PRF and EZ Gel treatments require precise anatomical knowledge — especially for sensitive zones like the under-eyes and scalp. Every autologous treatment at Healing Aesthetics is delivered by Dr. Saad, a board-certified physician — ensuring placement accuracy and safety at every step.
All Three Modalities Under One Roof
Many practices offer only PRF. We offer all three — PRF, and EZ Gel — and have the expertise to combine them strategically. The right modality (or combination) depends on your goals, anatomy, and timeline. Dr. Saad will guide you through the options.
Synergistic Treatment Planning
Autologous biostimulants pair powerfully with other treatments: microneedling with PRF for scars, EZ Gel with dermal fillers for volume, PRF after hair restoration procedures to maximize regrowth. We build holistic plans that amplify every modality.
Medical-Grade Processing Equipment
The concentration and quality of growth factors depends heavily on the centrifuge protocol and kit used. We use only validated, medical-grade centrifuges and single-use processing kits to ensure every treatment delivers the highest-quality concentrate possible.
Questions About PRF & EZ Gel
Everything you need to know before your autologous biostimulant consultation at Healing Aesthetics in Hinsdale, IL.
What is the difference between PRF, and EZ Gel?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a concentrate processed from your blood without anticoagulants, creating a fibrin matrix that holds platelets and releases growth factors slowly over days to weeks. EZ Gel is PRF that has been gently heated until it solidifies into a filler-like gel — it adds immediate volume while delivering regenerative growth factors simultaneously.
Is PRF treatment safe?
Yes — these treatments are among the safest in aesthetic medicine because they use only your own blood components. There are no foreign substances, synthetic materials, or allergens. The risk of allergic reaction or rejection is essentially zero. Dr. Saad uses sterile, single-use processing kits for every treatment.
How many sessions are needed for hair restoration?
For hair loss, most patients benefit from 3–4 initial sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by quarterly maintenance. Results build cumulatively — each session reinforces the last. Dr. Saad will create a personalized protocol based on the type and extent of your hair loss. Contact us at (630) 400-4194 to schedule your consultation.
What does EZ Gel feel like compared to regular dermal fillers?
EZ Gel has a similar consistency to soft hyaluronic acid filler when injected, but it's made entirely from your own biology. It provides immediate volume while simultaneously delivering regenerative growth factors. Results integrate naturally with surrounding tissue and have a biological quality that synthetic fillers can't replicate. It's especially well-suited to the under-eyes and delicate facial areas.
What is the downtime after PRF treatment?
Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, and tenderness at injection sites for 1–3 days. For scalp treatments, some temporary shedding may occur in the first 2–4 weeks before new growth begins — this is normal and expected. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) for 7 days post-treatment, as the inflammatory healing response is essential to the regenerative mechanism.
