Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelets play a key role in the body’s natural healing process. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy in Naperville, IL, harnesses those same regenerative properties to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate collagen, and promote healing. PRP‘s concentrated growth factors can enhance skin tone and texture, minimize fine lines and pigmentation, and even encourage hair growth in some patients.
What Is PRP?
PRP is prepared by drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. Spinning the blood separates the beneficial components from the rest of the plasma.
When injected or applied to the skin, PRP releases cytokines, promotes clotting, and triggers the body’s natural repair response, encouraging new cell growth and smoother, healthier skin. Because PRP comes from your own blood, it is a natural and safe option with minimal risk of allergic reaction.
Combining PRP Therapy With Microneedling
Microneedling with PRP offers a unique combination of treatments that renew your skin from within. Using the FDA-cleared SkinPen® microneedling device, your provider creates controlled microchannels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and promoting the production of new collagen and elastin.
Immediately afterward, platelet-rich plasma is applied topically—and sometimes gently massaged or injected—so the growth factors can penetrate through these microchannels, amplifying your skin’s renewal and enhancing overall results.

What Is Recovery Like After a PRP Treatment?
PRP treatments typically require little to no downtime. Most patients can resume their normal routines right after the procedure. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint tenderness in the treated area for a day or two, similar to what you’d expect after a light microneedling session or injection.
To support healing and get the best results, we recommend:
- Avoiding makeup and strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Skipping direct sun exposure for a few days
- Keeping the skin clean and moisturized
While recovery is minimal, results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen and regenerates tissue over the following weeks. Most people enjoy a refreshed, naturally radiant look without any significant interruption to their daily life.
