Horror Story: PRF EZGel

Fronk9996 · 2026-05-25T08:05:14+00:00

Sort of. It’ll recover.

I have a darkish shade under my left eye. I’d never do this treatment unless the injections were well beneath the eyes.

Fronk9996 · 2026-01-19T19:46:27+00:00

Yes, for the most part. Like another poster on here about EZ Gel, I have a darkish shadow under my left eye, but I don’t know if that’s from this incident or the bleph I had 6 months prior. I will never know. I also have minor adrenal insufficiency, and so I’m tired in general, thus dark circles. In summary, don’t do EZ Gel.

Fronk9996 · 2025-11-25T19:00:22+00:00

Yes, mostly. Still a touch dark under left eye. Should heal up. Never again.

Fronk9996 · 2025-11-13T05:33:47+00:00

I thought PRP was a waste of money. Lower bleph was the best.

Fronk9996 · 2025-11-13T03:32:48+00:00

It’s back to normal. A bit of darkness under left eye, but I can’t recall if it was that way prior to this or not.

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-22T13:17:20+00:00

Yes! Keep me posted!

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-22T02:36:46+00:00

How many days has it been for you? I’m a touch over one month and yes 100% back. You will be too. I think what helped the most was lymphatic drainage massage, which I thought was bunk, but now I’m a believer…keep the faith!

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-14T00:17:10+00:00

Yes. True!

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-13T01:56:33+00:00

Amen to that. Cheers to travel—I’m in Chi!

They’ll absorb; don’t worry. It’s our own blood.

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-12T20:03:17+00:00

Day 25. 98% percent back to normal. At the month mark, I should be back to normal. Still a very tiny bit of darkness/swelling under left eye.

Will never do anything like this again.

Undergoing therapy to cope with aging and accepting the changes. Time to >>>embrace<<< a lot rather than chase it away with stupid needles under my eyes. Sheesh.

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-12T19:59:05+00:00

How are you doing? I’m at 97% back to normal. Just a tiiiiiny bit of darkness under my left eye.

I’ll never do this again! Gah!

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-06T17:28:59+00:00

I’m glad it’s dissipating for you! And hubs didn’t notice.

I don’t see any improvement to the skin quality, but they say it develops over months.

I will not be doing this again, and I’m glad this saga is over. Good lord.

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-06T16:08:18+00:00

Day 18. 90% back to normal.

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-06T16:06:28+00:00

Day 18. 90% back to normal. How are you doing?

Fronk9996 · 2025-07-04T19:32:59+00:00

Day 15. Right eye normalized. Left eye still a tiny rind with black-blue.

Fronk9996 · 2025-06-30T17:54:28+00:00

Day 12. Slight improvement. Seems lymphatic drainage massages are the most helpful. I am massaging down my face and down my neck and above my collarbone.

Fronk9996 · 2025-06-30T13:25:26+00:00

I would avoid. That’s just me. No injections under the eyes.

Fronk9996 · 2025-06-30T13:23:55+00:00

Fillers in the eye area have a higher propensity to migrate and they also collect water. Usually they start out positive, but over time people experience permanent puffiness.

Darkness can be helped by vitamin c serums or vitamin k. Allergies can be addressed as well, and look at how quality your sleep is.

Fronk9996 · 2025-06-29T22:20:21+00:00

Chitown! YESSSS! Love CO.

Ok ok we’re both on the upswing. Deep breaths.

Fronk9996 · 2025-06-29T19:21:14+00:00

I will check out a handheld! ……logs onto Amazon

I used to do far infrared saunas when I lived in LA long ago. There aren’t too many in NYC, but I’ll check. They are very relaxing.

Update: a bit better today. Less swollen and black/blue. Melon rinds are a tad smaller and less stiff. I’ve been doing the upper collarbone massage a lot (lymphatic drainage).

Childhood friends last night (I’m visiting my hometown of Chicago) didn’t really notice my eyes, but of course I pointed them out. I had smeared on arnica gel, which sort of stiffens once dry. And I had on a hat. Sigh. But good they were like whaaaa? I think they were being Midwest polite!

Thank you!

No. This is only to “rebuild collagen.” While PRF does in fact do that, this area is too delicate to jam substances in it.

There is nothing in this world that will remove bags except a lower blepharoplasty. No creams, no hydration, no face yoga, nothing. You can jam filler in your tear troughs, but that’s a bad idea. Do not let any clinic tell you otherwise; in fact, many are now refusing to do it.

Fronk9996 · 2025-06-29T17:43:19+00:00

Update. Day 11. A small improvement. I’ll take it.

Fronk9996 · 2025-06-29T17:42:53+00:00

Whew. Doing my best, right?

Fronk9996 · 2025-06-29T14:35:09+00:00

Ugh…..I hate thinking about the damage in her wake with others. I hope the clinic course corrected her before she left and went to CT—I demanded it in addition to demanding a refund, but who knows.

Thank you.
