What Are PRP Injections?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use components of your own blood to support your body's natural healing and rejuvenation processes. Platelets are best known for helping blood clot after an injury, but they also contain proteins and growth factors that play an important role in tissue repair. After your blood is processed to concentrate these platelets, PRP or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) can be injected into targeted areas to support collagen production, tissue regeneration, and healthier skin or hair. Over time, many patients notice smoother skin, improved texture, or fuller-looking hair as the body's natural renewal process continues. To learn whether PRP or PRF injections are right for you, schedule a consultation with our aesthetic providers in Orland Park or Frankfort, IL.
How Are PRP Injections Performed?
Treatment begins with a simple blood draw similar to routine laboratory testing. Your blood is then processed in a specialized centrifuge to create platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin. Once prepared, your provider will carefully inject the concentrated platelets into the targeted treatment area using a fine needle. Most appointments take less than an hour, and because PRP and PRF are created from your own blood, no synthetic fillers or medications are involved.

Frequently Asked Questions about PRP Therapy
What are PRP injections used for?
PRP injections are commonly used to support skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. They may help improve skin texture, encourage collagen production, soften the appearance of fine lines, and promote healthier hair growth.
What is the difference between PRP and PRF injections?
Both treatments use components of your own blood, but they are processed differently. PRP contains concentrated platelets suspended in plasma, while PRF contains platelets within a fibrin matrix that gradually releases growth factors over time.
How are PRP injections performed?
Your appointment begins with a blood draw, followed by processing the sample in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. Once prepared, the PRP or PRF is injected into the targeted treatment area using a fine needle.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
In addition to injections, PRP is often combined with treatments like microneedling to further support skin rejuvenation. Your provider can recommend the best approach possible based on your goals.
How many PRP treatments will I need?
Treatment recommendations vary depending on your concerns and goals. Many patients benefit from an initial series of treatments followed by maintenance appointments to help maintain their results.
