PRP Facial & Hair Restoration

Skin Bar and Studio offers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments for facial rejuvenation, undereye hollowing, and hair restoration, each priced at $699. A small blood draw is centrifuged to concentrate growth factors from the patient's own plasma, which is then injected into targeted areas to stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and in the case of hair restoration, reactivate dormant follicles. Results develop gradually over six to eight weeks. Members receive ten percent off each session.

Skin Bar and Studio in Chicago's Old Town provides platelet-rich plasma treatments across three clinical applications — facial rejuvenation, undereye correction, and scalp hair restoration — each at $699 per session. PRP is prepared by drawing a small volume of the patient's own blood (typically 15 to 30ml), centrifuging it in a specialized tube to separate the cellular components, and decanting the platelet-rich supernatant. The resulting plasma contains three to five times the normal platelet concentration, with platelets serving as reservoirs for a suite of autologous growth factors including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF). When injected into tissue, these factors activate local stem cells, stimulate fibroblast activity, and promote neovascularization — accelerating repair and regeneration in the targeted area. For facial PRP rejuvenation, the prepared plasma is injected superficially and in deeper tissue planes across areas of concern including the midface, perioral region, periorbital area, and temples. The treatment improves overall skin quality, collagen density, elasticity, and hydration over a series of sessions, with results building progressively over six to eight weeks post-injection. The PRP Undereye treatment applies the same plasma in the tear trough and periorbital region to address hollowing, dark circles of a structural or vascular origin, and early peri-orbital skin laxity — an area where the absence of synthetic filler makes PRP an appealing alternative for patients uncomfortable with hyaluronic acid volumization. PRP Hair Restoration targets androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss) as well as diffuse shedding conditions. Growth factors injected into the scalp dermis at the level of the bulge region of hair follicles stimulate the transition of follicles from the telogen (resting) phase back into the anagen (active growth) phase, increasing hair shaft diameter and density over a course of three monthly sessions followed by maintenance every four to six months. The Vampire Facial — combining SkinPen microneedling with PRP — is also available at $785 for patients seeking the combined collagen induction and growth factor amplification protocol. Members of the clinic's program save ten percent per session across all PRP services. Skin Bar and Studio is located at 1513 N Wells Street in Chicago's Old Town, serving patients from Lincoln Park, Gold Coast, River North, Wicker Park, and the broader Chicagoland area.
