Natural Under-Eye and Facial Rejuvenation Using Your Own Growth Factors — Available in Boston & Westwood
Available at our Boston and Westwood locations, BioGel is a favorite among patients who want a more organic, biocompatible alternative to traditional dermal fillers — with beautiful, natural-looking results.
What Is BioGel Filler?
BioGel Filler is a type of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) filler, made entirely from your own blood. It contains platelets, growth factors, stem cells, and fibrin — the healing components that stimulate collagen and tissue regeneration.
At Shah Med Spa, we use an advanced two-spin process and controlled heating system that transforms liquid PRF into a gel-like consistency, mimicking the texture of hyaluronic acid filler — but 100% natural and autologous (from your body).
How It Works
- Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is taken.
- Centrifugation: A dual-spin process separates out platelet-rich fibrin from other components.
- Thermal Activation: The PRF is gently heated to create a thicker, gel-like consistency.
- Injection: The BioGel is then skillfully injected by Dr. Sajani Shah into the under-eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds, or other areas needing soft volume restoration.
The BioGel not only provides immediate subtle volume, but over time, stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, and enhances tissue quality — all with no synthetic materials.
Why Choose Dr. Shah for BioGel Filler?
Dr. Sajani Shah is a board-certified physician with expertise in regenerative aesthetics and facial anatomy. She brings a medical eye and artistic hand to each BioGel treatment, ensuring a natural, refreshed look — especially in delicate areas like the tear troughs, where traditional fillers can sometimes cause puffiness, discoloration, or uneven texture.

Common Questions About BioGel
Yes — it’s made from your own blood, so there’s no risk of allergy, rejection, or synthetic additives.
While subtle volume is immediate, collagen-building continues over 3–6 months. Results are gradual, natural, and can last up to a year or more, especially with maintenance.
Many patients start with 1–2 sessions, spaced about 6–8 weeks apart, followed by yearly maintenance.
There may be mild swelling or bruising, especially under the eyes, but most patients return to normal activities the next day.
For some patients, yes. For others, Dr. Shah may combine BioGel with hyaluronic acid fillers or PRP for a complete facial balancing approach.
