Chicago PRP Injections at The Michael Horn Center for Cosmetic Surgery
At The Michael Horn Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we believe your skin deserves a natural boost, not a drastic change. That's why we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, a gentle, non-surgical treatment that uses your own body's restorative powers. Under the expert care of Dr. Michael Horn's team in Chicago, PRP injections are designed to rejuvenate skin, stimulate hair growth, and accelerate recovery—all with minimal downtime and beautiful, natural-looking results.
What are PRP Injections?
PRP injections are a unique treatment harnessing Platelet-Rich Plasma drawn from your own blood. This plasma contains growth factors and proteins that support healing and regeneration. Once injected, PRP helps boost collagen production, smooth fine lines, and even promote hair growth in thinning areas. It's a natural, science-backed approach to achieving that fresh, healthy glow.
How is PRP harvested?
PRP therapy begins with a simple blood draw, similar to what you might experience during a routine blood test. The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins rapidly to separate the plasma from other components. This process concentrates the platelets, producing a rich serum full of natural growth factors. Once ready, this concentrated PRP is prepared for injection, bringing its regenerative properties directly to the areas where you want rejuvenation or healing. With PRP, we're able to use your body's own resources to achieve beautifully natural results.
Benefits of PRP Injections
PRP is all about enhancing what's already there. Here's what PRP can offer:
- Smooths and Brightens Skin: Say goodbye to dullness and hello to a radiant complexion.
- Fights Hair Loss: Stimulates growth in areas experiencing thinning.
- Supports Joint and Muscle Healing: Eases recovery from minor injuries with natural regeneration.
PRP treatments give you a natural, refreshed look without the recovery time of surgery—perfect for anyone looking to rejuvenate without the hassle.

PRP injections provide gradual, natural-looking results that build over time. Many patients begin noticing improvements within a few weeks, with optimal effects developing over the next several months as collagen production increases and tissues regenerate. Downtime is minimal, so you can return to your regular routine almost immediately. To support your results, it's best to keep the treated area clean, avoid direct sun exposure, and follow any specific aftercare instructions we provide.
