Pre-Care Instructions

Before your appointment

Under Eye Filler with ezGel

To help you get the best results from your Under Eye Filler with ezGel treatment, please review and follow the pre-care checklist below.

One week before

  • Discontinue NSAIDs, fish oil (>1,000 mg), vitamin E, ginkgo, and ginseng unless your physician says otherwise.
  • Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before treatment.
  • Do not start new retinoids, acids, or aggressive exfoliants this week.
  • Avoid booking within two weeks of a major event β€” bruising and swelling may last 7–14 days.
  • Notify the clinic immediately if a cold sore, breakout, or illness develops β€” treatment will be deferred.

72 hours before

  • Avoid vigorous exercise and prolonged sun exposure to the face.
  • Drink at least 2 liters of water daily.
  • Discontinue topical retinoids in treatment zones.

Day of treatment

  • Arrive with clean under-eye skin β€” no makeup, concealer, eye cream, or sunscreen.
  • Eat a full meal 2–3 hours before your visit β€” do not arrive fasted.
  • Drink at least 64 oz of water the day before and day of your appointment.
  • Wear comfortable clothing; avoid tight collars if blood draw is from the arm.
  • Leave contact lenses at home if treating the under-eye area.

Notify your provider if

  • You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
  • You have a bleeding disorder, active infection, or history of keloid scarring.
  • You have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6 months.
  • You have an active eye infection, stye, or recent eye procedure.
  • You are iron-deficient or anemic β€” PRF results may be less optimal.
  • You are sick, recently finished antibiotics, or have an active infection β€” reschedule.

What to expect

  • A small blood draw from your arm prepares your PRF, similar to a routine lab draw.
  • The under-eye area will be numbed with topical anesthetic for comfort.
  • Because PRF is your own biologic material, there is no allergy risk.
  • A series of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended.
