Skin
Rejuvenation
PRF, EZ Gel, and SkinMedica chemical peels — targeted treatments that address tone, texture, pigmentation, and vitality from the inside out. Administered by Teresa Hernandez, MSN FNP-BC at Body Balance Medical in Summerlin.
Skin Health
From Within
Skin rejuvenation at Body Balance Medical means more than surface-level treatments. Our approach addresses the underlying causes of skin concerns — not just the visible symptoms — using your body's own biology where possible and medical-grade technology where it helps most.
Teresa Hernandez, MSN FNP-BC performs platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and PRF EZ Gel treatments, drawing from your own blood to deliver concentrated growth factors directly into the skin. For patients looking for chemical-based correction and resurfacing, Teresa offers SkinMedica's Illuminize and Vitalize peels — two clinically grounded options that address brightness, tone, and texture at different depths.
For microneedling — including microneedling with PRF, PDRN, and exosome add-ons — see our dedicated microneedling page. For facial treatments with our Licensed Advanced Esthetician, see facials.
Skin rejuvenation targets tone and texture. If your lines only appear when you move, neurotoxin addresses a different mechanism entirely.
PRF & EZ Gel
Treatments
Platelet-rich fibrin is a next-generation regenerative treatment derived from your own blood. It delivers a concentrated matrix of growth factors, cytokines, and fibrin directly into the treatment area — stimulating collagen, improving skin quality, and supporting tissue renewal from the inside out.
Platelet-rich fibrin is injected across key areas of the face to stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and enhance overall tone and firmness. Unlike PRP, PRF uses a slower-spinning centrifuge that retains more growth factors and creates a fibrin scaffold — resulting in slower, more sustained release and a more supportive matrix. Ideal for patients looking for regenerative improvement across the full face without filler.
PRF is exceptionally well-suited to the under-eye area — one of the most delicate and difficult-to-treat regions of the face. Growth factors support collagen rebuilding and microvascular health in the periorbital area, improving hollowing, dark circles caused by thinning skin, and skin texture. A non-filler option for patients who want improvement under the eyes without the risk of HA filler complications in this zone.
PRF also used for hair restoration →PRF EZ Gel is a biostimulatory gel made from your own platelet-rich fibrin — heated to create a soft, injectable matrix that combines the volume support of a filler with the regenerative properties of PRF. It delivers concentrated growth factors in a gel scaffold that supports both immediate texture improvement and sustained collagen stimulation. A 100% autologous treatment — entirely from your own biology.
EZ Gel in the under-eye area combines gentle volumization with the regenerative effects of platelet-rich fibrin — addressing hollowing and dark circles while also improving the skin quality of the periorbital region over time. Because EZ Gel is made from your own blood, there is no foreign substance and no risk of the Tyndall effect that can complicate HA tear trough treatments. An excellent option for patients who want to avoid traditional filler under the eyes.
Chemical Peels
SkinMedica's clinical peel system uses a carefully formulated blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids to resurface, brighten, and correct. Teresa offers two depth options — treatment strength is determined after a candidacy assessment, not assumed.
A gentle, multi-acid peel designed to brighten the complexion and refresh skin clarity with minimal downtime. The Illuminize Peel is an excellent starting point for patients new to chemical peels, or for anyone seeking a luminosity-focused treatment before an event or as routine maintenance.
- Brighter, more radiant complexion
- Improved clarity and tone
- Smoother surface texture
- Minimal downtime — return to normal activities
- Ideal for first-time peel patients
A more advanced corrective peel designed to address visible skin imperfections with greater depth and efficacy. The Vitalize Peel targets fine lines, uneven pigmentation, acne scarring, and texture irregularities — providing stronger renewal than the Illuminize while remaining appropriate for a wide range of skin types.
- Improved texture and tone evenness
- Reduced appearance of fine lines
- Support for acne and post-acne marks
- Corrects hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Recommended in a series of 3 for best results
Peel candidacy and treatment depth are determined at consultation. Not all peel strengths are appropriate for all skin types — Teresa will assess your skin before recommending a specific option.
Skin Health
Is the Foundation
Healthy aesthetics begin with genuinely healthy skin. Teresa's approach isn't about masking surface concerns — it's about using clinical tools to address what's actually driving them, and building a foundation that supports lasting skin quality.
PRF and EZ Gel start with your own biology. SkinMedica peels use clinically validated chemistry to correct and resurface. Neither approach involves filler or toxin — they're designed to improve the raw material your skin is made of, so everything else you do for your appearance is working with better underlying structure.
For patients combining skin rejuvenation with collagen stimulators or fillers, Teresa sequences treatments to maximize the benefit of each — skin quality improvements compound with structural interventions when they're planned together.

Teresa Hernandez is a board-certified family nurse practitioner whose clinical scope spans injectable aesthetics, regenerative treatments, and skin health protocols. At Body Balance Medical, she performs all PRF, EZ Gel, and SkinMedica peel treatments personally — the same clinician who assesses you is the one who treats you.
Her approach to skin rejuvenation is grounded in what the tissue actually needs — not in what can be sold. For patients who come in asking about fillers for under-eye concerns, Teresa may recommend PRF EZ Gel first. For patients focused on surface texture and tone, she'll assess whether a peel series or regenerative treatment better fits the actual problem.
As a Biote-certified hormone optimization provider, Teresa is also attuned to how hormonal changes affect skin health — an integrated perspective that gives her clinical context most cosmetic-only injectors don't bring to a skin assessment.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are both derived from your blood, but PRF is a newer, more advanced iteration. PRF uses a lower centrifuge speed, which retains more growth factors, stem cells, and platelets within a fibrin matrix. This creates a slower, more sustained release of growth factors over time compared to PRP's more immediate release. PRF also requires no anticoagulants, making it a purely natural product. The result is longer-lasting stimulation with a more supportive scaffold for tissue regeneration.
PRF EZ Gel is made by heating PRF to create a soft, injectable gel matrix — your own platelet-rich fibrin in a form that can be injected to provide both mild volumization and regenerative stimulation. Under the eyes specifically, EZ Gel is sometimes preferred over hyaluronic acid fillers because it eliminates the risk of Tyndall effect (a bluish discoloration sometimes caused by HA filler placed too superficially in the thin periorbital skin). Because EZ Gel is autologous — entirely from your own blood — there are no foreign materials and no allergic risk. The trade-off is that results are more subtle than HA filler; the benefit is a regenerative outcome that improves skin quality over time.
That's determined during your skin assessment, not before. The Illuminize Peel is a gentle, lower-depth peel appropriate for patients new to chemical peels, those with sensitive skin, or anyone looking for brightness and maintenance with minimal downtime. The Vitalize Peel is a more corrective option for patients with established texture concerns, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, or acne scarring — it provides more significant renewal but with somewhat more post-peel peeling. Teresa will assess your skin type, concerns, and tolerance before recommending which option, and whether a single treatment or a series makes sense for your goals.
It depends on the treatment and your goals. PRF and EZ Gel treatments typically show improvement after a single session, with many patients choosing 2–3 sessions for optimal results. SkinMedica peels are often recommended in a series of 3 for the most significant correction — though a single treatment provides noticeable improvement. Teresa will give you a realistic expectations conversation at your consultation rather than a generic series recommendation.
Yes — and thoughtful combination often produces the most comprehensive results. PRF and EZ Gel pair well with microneedling (which can deliver PRF into the skin through micro-channels), with collagen stimulators like Sculptra for longer-term structural support, and with dermal fillers for targeted volume correction alongside regenerative improvement. Chemical peels complement most injectable treatments when properly spaced. Teresa will map out a sequenced plan based on your goals.
