Plasma Gel / Bio-Filler Treatment

Although both treatments come from your own blood plasma, their purpose and texture are different. PRP is injected as a liquid to improve skin tone and stimulate repair, while Plasma Gel undergoes a controlled heating and cooling process that turns it into a soft gel. This allows it to act more like a filler, replacing lost structure and smoothing contours while continuing to trigger collagen production beneath the skin.

If you’re unsure whether Plasma Gel is right for you, book a consultation with Dr Matla and we’ll talk you through your options in person.

You will usually see an immediate softening and gentle lift after the procedure, followed by gradual improvement over four to six weeks as collagen renewal takes place. Most patients enjoy the benefits for six to twelve months, depending on their skin condition, age and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year help to keep the skin firm and luminous.

Yes. Plasma Gel is entirely autologous, meaning it is created from your own plasma and contains no synthetic additives. Because of this, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection, or the risk of complications is extremely low. Over the last few years, a growing body of clinical research has supported the safety and effectiveness of plasma-based bio fillers. Published studies, including work by Doghaim et al. (2019) and more recent data in journals such as Medicina 2025, report improvements in skin quality, dermal thickness and wrinkle depth when autologous plasma gels are used to restore volume and stimulate collagen.

At Dr Matla’s clinic, Plasma Gel and Bio Filler treatments are carried out by medically trained practitioners who understand both the science and the artistry of facial rejuvenation. Every treatment plan is based on a face-to-face assessment, your medical history and your goals, with a clear discussion of potential side effects such as temporary swelling, redness or bruising at the injection sites.

Most patients describe only minor discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the injections, and very fine cannulas are used to deliver the plasma gel precisely where needed. You might feel slight pressure or a warm sensation, but this settles quickly, and normal activities can usually be resumed the same day.

It depends on your aesthetic goals. Plasma Gel gives subtle, regenerative volume and a refreshed texture, but is not designed for dramatic contouring or sculpting. Many patients who prefer a natural appearance choose Plasma Gel as an alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers, while others use both approaches in different areas to achieve a balance between definition and rejuvenation.

The ideal candidate is someone noticing early or moderate volume loss, dullness or fine lines who wishes to restore vitality without synthetic materials. It is also an excellent choice for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to conventional fillers. However, Plasma Gel is not recommended for anyone with an active infection, autoimmune disease, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Yes, and in many cases, this enhances the results. It can safely be combined with PRP facials for extra skin vitality, thread lifting for lift and tightening, or skin boosters for hydration. Dr Matla will advise on a suitable treatment plan based on your skin quality, facial anatomy and recovery schedule.

You may notice slight redness, tenderness or mild swelling at the injection sites for up to forty-eight hours. These effects are temporary and can be eased with a cool compress and gentle skincare. Make-up should be avoided for the rest of the day, and strenuous exercise, heat exposure and alcohol are best postponed for twenty-four hours to minimise the risk of bruising.

No injectable treatment can permanently halt ageing, but Plasma Gel offers a regenerative boost that continues to improve the skin’s quality for several months. With regular maintenance, many patients find that the improvements become longer lasting as the skin’s collagen network becomes stronger and more resilient over time.

Prices reflect the bespoke nature of the procedure and the fact that it involves a two-stage preparation process. Although slightly higher than some single-syringe filler treatments, many patients consider it a worthwhile investment because it combines both volumising and regenerative effects.

Yes. Most people go back to normal activities immediately after their appointment. Any minor swelling can usually be concealed with light mineral make-up the next day, and there is no extended recovery period.

A second session can be carried out after three to six months if further correction or collagen stimulation is desired. For maintenance, annual or biannual treatments are generally sufficient to sustain youthful firmness and radiance.
