Your own plasma, processed into a smooth injectable gel, to restore under-eye volume without the risks that come with synthetic fillers in this delicate area.
Under-eye hollowing, dark circles caused by volume loss, thin under-eye skin, and patients who have been told they're not good candidates for traditional HA fillers. The under-eye area's thin, delicate tissue makes it one of the best applications for autologous filler.
EZ Gel PRF is created from your own blood, processed into a gel-like consistency. Because it's biocompatible, it avoids the Tyndall effect (bluish tint) that synthetic fillers can cause in thin under-eye skin. The gel provides immediate volume while growth factors stimulate collagen production for continued improvement.
The under-eye is one of the most technically demanding areas to inject. We use EZ Gel here specifically because it's safer for thin periorbital skin than many synthetic options. Your provider evaluates your anatomy and skin thickness during consultation at our Lincoln Park clinic.

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."
"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."

A natural PRF filler made from your own blood to treat dark circles, hollowing, and tired-looking eyes. Clinical studies have shown that 92.3% of patients report visible improvement by week 20, with continued results lasting 12 to 18 months. At our Lincoln Park clinic, every EZ Gel treatment is performed by a trained, certified injector under the oversight of Medical Director Dr. Brett Brechner, DO. We see patients from across Chicago's North Side, including Lakeview, Gold Coast, Old Town, Wicker Park, and Bucktown.
The under-eye area is one of the most difficult zones to treat with traditional dermal fillers. The skin is thin, the tissue is delicate, and synthetic fillers can sometimes create a bluish tint called the Tyndall effect. EZ Gel avoids these risks entirely because it is made from your own blood. The chance of allergic reaction is minimized, no synthetic material is sitting beneath your skin, and there no risk of that unnatural "overfilled" look that makes people nervous about under-eye filler in the first place.
The process starts with a small blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. From there, your blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin and albumin proteins. These components are then gently heated and cooled to create a smooth, injectable gel.
Here is what the appointment looks like step by step:
Total appointment time is about 45 to 60 minutes. Most of that is preparation. The actual injection portion is quick.
This treatment is a strong fit if you are dealing with:
EZ Gel works well for adults of most ages. It is not about how old you are. It is about your skin quality, the degree of volume loss, and your goals. During your consultation, your injector will assess your under-eye area and let you know whether EZ Gel is the right approach, or whether a different treatment might serve you better.
Made from your own blood. No synthetic ingredients. Zero risk of allergic reaction. Stimulates collagen over time, so results improve after treatment. Lasts 12 to 18 months. Multiple sessions recommended for optimal results. No risk of Tyndall effect.
Synthetic, pre-manufactured gel. Immediate volume correction in a single session. Results last 6 to 12 months. Small risk of Tyndall effect (bluish tint) in the thin under-eye skin. Reversible with hyaluronidase if needed. Well-studied with decades of clinical use.
If you want immediate, one-session volume correction and are comfortable with synthetic filler, HA fillers are a proven option. If you prefer a natural approach that also stimulates your own collagen, EZ Gel is worth considering. Our team can help you weigh the tradeoffs during a consultation. We stock both options because different patients and different goals call for different tools.
You will notice some immediate volume improvement right after your EZ Gel treatment, but the full results develop gradually. Here is a realistic timeline:
Recovery is minimal. Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, aspirin) for 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. After treatment, skip strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for 48 hours. Gentle icing can help manage any swelling. Most patients describe the overall experience as straightforward with very little downtime.

The under-eye area is not a place to cut corners. It is one of the most technically demanding injection zones on the face, and the margin between "refreshed" and "something looks off" is small. Here is why patients across Chicago trust us with it:
Better Med Spa offers an EZ Gel under-eye treatment package of 3 sessions for $2,200. Multiple sessions are recommended because collagen stimulation builds on itself. Each session strengthens the results of the previous one.
During your consultation, your injector will assess your under-eye area and recommend the right number of sessions for your goals. If you are also considering treatment for other areas of the face, ask about our EZ Gel face treatment, which uses the same PRF technology for broader facial rejuvenation.
