At Columbus Facial Plastics, we’re excited to offer cutting-edge bioregenerative treatments, also called biostimulators, for patients seeking a natural approach to younger-looking skin. These innovative treatments work by harnessing your body’s own healing abilities, rather than relying on synthetic substances, to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. Our Columbus biostimulator treatments include traditional PRP (platelet-rich plasma), advanced PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), and EZGel for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

“Using your own body to stimulate collagen provides more long-term, sustainable, and natural results with fewer complications. When you use bioregenerative treatments, you’re not just addressing immediate concerns, but helping prevent that collagen breakdown that naturally occurs as we age.” –Shireen Shatti, CNP
PRP uses your body’s own concentrated healing factors, drawn from a small sample, to rejuvenate your skin. After spinning the blood in a specialized centrifuge, we isolate the platelet-rich plasma–a clear, yellowish serum packed with growth factors. When combined with microneedling or laser treatments, these growth factors accelerate healing and stimulate collagen production, enhancing your results while reducing downtime.
PRF takes regenerative therapy a step further. Unlike PRP, PRF preserves the natural clotting capabilities in your blood. The fibrin creates a matrix that acts as a natural scaffold to support gradual, sustained release of growth factors. This slow-release approach is ideal for delicate areas, particularly the under-eye region where skin renewal happens more slowly. PRF supports a more robust wound healing response, leading to improved skin quality, enhanced collagen production, and a natural-looking refreshed appearance that develops progressively over time.
EZGel is our most advanced bioregenerative treatment that transforms your own blood into a gel-like substance with volumizing capabilities. A portion of the plasma is heated to create a filler-like consistency. Once cooled, it is combined with traditional PRF to create a natural injectable that provides immediate volume while stimulating long-term collagen production. This innovative approach offers a completely natural alternative to synthetic fillers, particularly for delicate areas like under the eyes. For optimal results, we recommend 3 sessions scheduled 6-8 weeks apart.
Add PRP or PRF to reduce healing time and boost collagen.
Bioregenerative treatments post-Halo or BBL reduce downtime and speed up recovery.
EZGel can be placed where Sculptra presents challenges, such as around the eyes and mouth, creating comprehensive rejuvenation.
Pair traditional fillers with PRP or PRF for both immediate and long-lasting volume.
PRP and PRF treatments start at $735 when added to other procedures. Standalone EZGel treatments are $1,000 for a comprehensive facial application. A series of three treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Your initial consultation fee can be applied toward your treatment.
Downtime is minimal. When paired with lasers or microneedling, biostimulators often reduce recovery time. EZGel injections may cause mild swelling or bruising, similar to filler treatments.
Results vary by treatment type. A subtle glow often appears shortly after treatment. Collagen production takes place over 2-3 months. EZ Gel offers some immediate volume, though not as dramatic as synthetic fillers, with progressive improvement over time as collagen develops.
Results are progressive and cumulative. A series of three treatments is typically recommended initially, followed by maintenance treatments. Results can last 6-12 months depending on the treatment area and individual healing response.
Most people are excellent candidates, especially those seeking natural alternatives to fillers, under-eye rejuvenation in Columbus, or enhanced outcomes from other aesthetic treatments. We’ll evaluate your candidacy during your consultation.
EZGel can be an excellent way to “preview” what filler might look like in certain areas of your face. Many patients use EZGel to simulate the appearance of traditional fillers before making a longer-term commitment. Since EZGel breaks down more naturally and quickly than hyaluronic acid fillers, it gives you a chance to see if you like the appearance of added volume in specific areas without the 1-2 year commitment of traditional fillers. This “try before you buy” approach is particularly valuable for first-time patients or those considering treatment in new areas. If you love the results, you can either continue with EZGel treatments or transition to longer-lasting filler options with confidence.
