PRF EZ Gel & PRFM in Montvale, NJ
Dr. Ran Rubinstein, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, offers PRF EZ Gel and Selphyller Gel treatments at Rubinstein Plastic Surgery Center in Montvale, NJ. PRF EZ Gel is a regenerative injectable created entirely from a patient’s own blood, making it a fully autologous option for those seeking natural facial rejuvenation without synthetic materials. It combines platelet-rich fibrin with a plasma-derived protein gel to provide subtle soft-tissue support and gradual improvement in skin quality in carefully selected areas. Dr. Rubinstein and his team are committed to personalized, precision-based care, ensuring that every treatment plan is tailored to each patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
PRF EZ Gel Treatment Overview
- PRF EZ Gel and Selphyller Gel are autologous injectable gels created from platelet-rich fibrin and a plasma-derived protein component, both sourced from the patient's own blood.
- It is designed to provide subtle facial support and gradual improvement in skin quality.
- Ideal candidates are individuals with early signs of facial aging such as under-eye hollowing, crepey texture, or dull skin tone who prefer a biologic approach.
- The treatment is performed in-office in a single visit, with minimal downtime.
- Results develop gradually as the body responds to the growth factors and cytokines released through the fibrin scaffold.
- Cost depends on the areas treated and the scope of the plan, and is discussed in detail during consultation.
THE PROCEDURE
What Is PRF EZ Gel?
PRF EZ Gel is a fully natural injectable treatment made from two components, both derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. The first is a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) concentrate produced using the EZPRF low-speed centrifugation method, which retains a higher concentration of platelets, leukocytes, and growth factors than traditional PRP approaches. The second is a plasma-derived protein gel created by gently heating a portion of the patient’s plasma, which causes it to form a soft gel without any chemical cross-linking additives.
These two components are combined to create the EZ Gel — an injectable material that is biocompatible, entirely autologous, and free of synthetic ingredients. Because no anticoagulants are used in the EZPRF process, the plasma naturally forms a fibrin scaffold, which allows growth factors and cytokines to be released more gradually over time rather than all at once.
The result is a treatment that supports tissue quality from within, encouraging the body’s own repair processes rather than relying on external filler material.
Facial Concerns PRF EZ Gel Can Address
PRF EZ Gel and Selphyller Gel are best suited for patients experiencing early signs of facial aging who are looking for a natural, regenerative approach. Common concerns that may be addressed include:
- Under-eye hollowing and a fatigued appearance
- Crepey texture and fine lines in delicate areas
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Mild contour irregularities where subtle support is beneficial
- Minor scar texture or acne scarring in appropriate cases
This treatment is not designed for large-volume augmentation or significant structural lifting. Patients with more advanced volume loss or facial laxity may be better served by dermal fillers, biostimulants, or surgical options. During consultation, Dr. Rubinstein evaluates each patient’s facial anatomy and recommends the approach most likely to achieve natural, lasting improvement.

Ideal Candidates for PRF EZ Gel in Montvale, NJ
PRF EZ Gel or Selphyller Gel may be a good fit for patients who value a natural, biologic approach to facial rejuvenation. Good candidates typically include those who:
- Have early signs of facial aging including skin texture changes or under-eye hollowing
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvement over immediate volumization
- Wish to avoid synthetic dermal fillers when appropriate
- Are interested in a regenerative treatment that works with the body's own biology
- Have realistic expectations about the pace and degree of improvement
Patients who need more significant structural volume replacement, skin tightening, or facial lifting may be better candidates for hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulants such as Sculptra or Radiesse, laser resurfacing, or surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Rubinstein reviews all available options during consultation and recommends the most appropriate plan for each individual.
Selphyl PRFM & Selphyller Gel: An Advanced Approach to PRF Treatment
At Rubinstein Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Rubinstein performs PRF treatments using the Selphyl PRFM system and Selphyller Gel — a more refined approach to platelet-rich fibrin therapy that builds on the regenerative principles of standard PRF. Selphyl PRFM converts PRP into a structured fibrin matrix using a proprietary closed system, localizing growth factors at the treatment site for a more sustained release over time compared with standard PRF approaches.
Selphyller Gel takes this further by converting the PRFM into a viscous, gel-like consistency through controlled thermal processing — creating a true autologous filler derived entirely from the patient’s own blood. The slow release of growth factors supports collagen production, new blood vessel formation, and gradual volume restoration, while the gel’s thicker consistency provides more immediate soft-tissue support than standard EZ Gel. A detailed comparison of Selphyller Gel and standard EZ Gel is available in the FAQ section below.

The PRF EZ Gel Consultation at Rubinstein Plastic Surgery Center
Every PRF EZ Gel treatment begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Rubinstein. Because this treatment is used in nuanced facial areas where anatomy varies considerably from patient to patient, careful evaluation is essential. The consultation typically includes:
- An assessment of facial shape, skin thickness, elasticity, and support
- Evaluation of under-eye anatomy, midface volume, and areas of textural change
- A discussion of your aesthetic goals and preferences
- A review of your medical history to confirm candidacy
- An honest comparison of PRF EZ Gel with other injectable or surgical options that may better serve your goals
Not every patient is an ideal candidate for PRF EZ Gel or Selphyller Gel. In some cases, dermal fillers, biostimulants, microneedling, laser resurfacing, or surgery will offer more predictable results. Dr. Rubinstein will always recommend the approach that best fits your anatomy and long-term aesthetic goals.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, PRF EZ Gel and Selphyller Gel treatments are not reversible — making it especially important to seek treatment from an experienced, advanced injector with an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy. Dr. Rubinstein’s surgical background and extensive experience with injectable treatments make him well positioned to achieve precise, natural-looking outcomes with regenerative treatments of this kind.
Preparing for Your PRF EZ Gel & PRFM Treatment
Because the quality of the PRF and PRFM sample depends directly on the quality of the blood draw, a few simple preparation steps can meaningfully improve your results. For several days leading up to your appointment, staying well hydrated supports better platelet quality and makes the collection process smoother. It is also advisable to avoid alcohol, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or aspirin, blood thinners, and antibiotics for several days prior to treatment, as these can affect platelet count and function. Dr. Rubinstein’s team will provide specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation.
The PRF EZ Gel Treatment Process
PRF EZ Gel and Selphyller Gel treatments are performed in the office and completed in a single visit.
Most patients find the treatment process straightforward and well-tolerated. Treatment time varies depending on the number of areas addressed.
Recovery After PRF EZ Gel
Recovery following PRF EZ Gel is typically minimal. Because the material is derived entirely from the patient’s own blood, the risk of adverse reactions is low. Temporary effects may include:
- Mild swelling at the injection sites
- Minor bruising
- Temporary tenderness in the treated area
These effects generally resolve within several days. Most patients return to their normal routines shortly after the appointment, though timing can vary based on the treatment area and injection depth.
PRF EZ Gel Results: What to Expect
Because PRF EZ Gel works through a gradual biological response rather than immediate volumization, results develop over time. Some patients notice early subtle improvement shortly after treatment as the fibrin scaffold begins releasing growth factors. More noticeable improvements in skin quality, texture, and tone typically appear over several weeks to months as the tissue response continues to develop.
On the other hand, Selphyller Gel provides immediate volumization that can last for up to 6 months. Improvement in skin quality and collagen stimulation continues to develop over time.
The treatment may be performed as part of a broader facial rejuvenation plan, and Dr. Rubinstein will advise whether a series of sessions or a combination approach is appropriate based on your goals and anatomy.
How PRF EZ Gel Fits Into a Facial Rejuvenation Plan
PRF EZ Gel and Selphyller Gel occupy a distinct place among injectable options because of its fully autologous, regenerative nature. Understanding how it compares to other treatments can help clarify whether it is the right choice for your goals.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Products such as Juvederm and Restylane provide immediate volume restoration using a biocompatible gel. They are well suited for areas requiring structural support, lip enhancement, or more significant contouring. Results are immediate and reversible.
Biostimulatory Injectables
Sculptra and Hyperdilute Radiesse stimulate the body’s own collagen production over time, gradually improving skin structure and firmness. They are particularly effective for broader areas of skin laxity or volume loss.
PRF EZ Gel and Selphyller Gel
PRF EZ Gel takes a different approach entirely. Created from the patient’s own blood with no synthetic additives, it uses the body’s natural growth factors and fibrin scaffold to support tissue quality and subtle soft-tissue improvement. It is best suited for patients who prefer a fully natural, regenerative treatment for targeted facial concerns.
Dr. Rubinstein discusses all options during consultation and develops a plan that may incorporate one treatment or a thoughtful combination based on each patient’s anatomy and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRF EZ Gel
How is PRF EZ Gel different from PRP?
PRF and PRP are both blood-derived treatments, but they differ in how they are prepared and how they work. The EZ PRF and Selphyl systems allow the plasma to form a natural fibrin scaffold. This scaffold releases growth factors more gradually than traditional PRP, supporting a longer-lasting tissue response. EZ Gel and Selphyller Gel adds a heated plasma gel component, creating an injectable material with both immediate structural support and sustained regenerative activity.
How many treatments are typically recommended?
The number of sessions depends on your goals and the areas being treated. Some patients benefit from a series of treatments as part of a longer-term rejuvenation plan, while others incorporate PRF EZ Gel as a complement to other procedures. Dr. Rubinstein will outline a recommended schedule during your consultation based on your specific anatomy and objectives.
Is PRF EZ Gel a safe procedure?
Because PRF EZ Gel is created entirely from the patient's own blood, it is generally considered highly biocompatible with a low risk of allergic reaction. As with any injectable procedure, proper technique, sterile processing, and careful patient selection are important factors in safety and outcome.
Can PRF EZ Gel be performed with other treatments?
Yes. Depending on your goals, Dr. Rubinstein may recommend combining PRF EZ Gel with other injectable treatments, laser procedures, or microneedling as part of a staged or comprehensive rejuvenation plan. A combination approach is often used to address different aspects of facial aging simultaneously.
Is there significant downtime after treatment?
Downtime is generally minimal. Most patients experience only mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days, and the majority return to their normal activities shortly after the appointment.
What is Selphyl PRFM and how is it different from standard PRF EZ Gel?
Selphyl PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) uses a proprietary closed system to convert PRP into a structured fibrin matrix, localizing growth factors at the treatment site for a sustained release of up to seven days. At Rubinstein Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Rubinstein uses the Selphyl system for PRF EZ Gel treatments, offering a more refined and clinically supported regenerative approach than standard PRF.
What is Selphyller Gel and how does it compare to standard EZ Gel?
Selphyller Gel is an autologous plasma gel filler created from Selphyl PRFM that provides both immediate soft-tissue support and sustained regenerative activity. Compared with standard EZ Gel, which typically requires three treatments spaced approximately six weeks apart, Selphyller Gel generally achieves results in a single session with volume restoration lasting three to six months.
Is PRF EZ Gel reversible like hyaluronic acid fillers?
No — unlike HA fillers, which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, autologous gel treatments integrate with the body's own tissue over time and are not reversible in the same way. This makes provider selection and facial anatomy expertise especially important.
