What Are EZ Gel Fillers?
EZ gel fillers are a 100% natural alternative to traditional dermal fillers. Rather than using a synthetic solution, these injections use a formula derived from the patient’s own blood. This provides notable benefits, including reduced risk of allergic reactions and a more natural feel to your results. Natural fillers provide notably volumizing effects while also creating a scaffolding for prolonged boosts to collagen and elastin production.
Dr. Kauh uses natural fillers to provide benefits such as:
- Smoothing wrinkles and fine lines
- Restoring lost volume
- Enhancing facial contours
- Improving skin texture
- Restoring skin elasticity
- And more
Treatment Overview: Natural Filler Injections
Rather than using a premade formula, each EZ gel mixture is made unique to each patient. This involves a couple of steps, but the total treatment duration is still typically under 1 hour.
- Drawing Blood: We first draw a small amount of blood from the patient. We take care to ensure a quick process with minimal discomfort.
- Processing the Blood: We then process the blood to draw out growth factors and fibrin. These elements are mixed with albumin, which occurs naturally in the body and promotes fluid balance.
- Heating the Mixture: This helps turn the mixture into a gel, which will provide a better structure once injected.
- Injection: With the solution ready, we inject it into key treatment areas.

EZ Gel Fillers FAQs
What are the benefits of EZ gel fillers?
The greatest appeal of EZ fillers is that they use 100% natural materials. No synthetic elements are involved. Another core benefit is that these fillers provide both instant results and continued improvements. Altogether, EZ fillers offer patients a gentler, natural path toward cosmetic rejuvenation. Both younger and older patients can see notable improvements with a single treatment session.
Are natural fillers right for me?
EZ gel fillers can prove ideal for a wide range of patients. Since they use your own bodily material, they do not have the same risks of allergic reaction as HA fillers. Instead, the treatment provides excellent results with enhanced safety. We still take the time to discuss each patient’s goals and review their medical history to ensure a safe, optimal process.
What is the recovery like?
There is virtually no recovery period following EZ gel injections. Some patients may experience mild bruising and swelling at the injection sites. This resolves quickly, though some patients still prefer to take a day off from social activities to let it fade. Otherwise, you can return to most of your routine right away.
However, we recommend avoiding a few things until the swelling resolves. First, keep an eye on physical activity and avoid anything too strenuous. Also, minimize sun exposure for a couple of days. Excess sun could further irritate the treatment sites.
When will I see my EZ gel filler results?
EZ gel filler results come in two stages. First, you experience immediate volumizing benefits. For example, you can see same-day improvements in lost volume, under-eye bags, and facial contours.
In the weeks following treatment, you should see continued improvements. The materials in the fillers will boost collagen production and provide increased skin hydration.
How long do natural filler results last?
EZ gel fillers provide notable benefits for months. The initial volumizing improvements can last for 3 to 6 months. The extended benefits can last upward of 1 year.
Some tips to prolong your natural filler results include:
- Keep hydrated
- Follow a good skin care routine
- Minimize excess sun exposure (and wear protection)
- Maintain an overall healthy lifestyle
- Get adequate sleep and keep stress down
Can I repeat the treatment?
Touch-up treatments are as quick and easy as your initial session, allowing you to stay looking refreshed year-round. Patients also have the option to switch to other filler types. Your aesthetic does not need to be static, and you can continually make updates to find your ideal self.
