NAPERVILLE, Ill., Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serotonin Centers, a national leader in science-backed longevity, hormone optimization, and medical aesthetics, announced the opening of its newest location in Naperville, Illinois. Officially opening January 22, 2026, the Naperville center represents the brand's first Illinois location and marks a major milestone in its continued national expansion.

The Naperville location is locally owned and operated by Baker Pilakka, who plans to expand the Serotonin Centers footprint throughout the Chicago market.

"Opening our first location in Naperville is just the beginning," said Pilakka. "There is clear demand in the Chicagoland area for a more comprehensive, medically guided approach to longevity and wellness. We're proud to introduce Serotonin Centers to this community and look forward to expanding into additional locations."

Serotonin Centers delivers a concierge, physician-led model focused on proactive health and long-term vitality. Services at the Naperville location include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), medical weight loss, advanced body contouring, medical aesthetics, IV therapy, and restorative longevity treatments. Each member begins with in-depth diagnostics and lab analysis, followed by a personalized care plan developed alongside licensed medical professionals.

Unlike traditional med spas, Serotonin Centers emphasizes ongoing clinical oversight, data-driven protocols, and individualized treatment strategies designed to improve both health span and overall quality of life.

"This opening marks an important step forward for Serotonin Centers as we enter the Chicago market," said Eric Casaburi, Founder and CEO of Serotonin Centers. "Naperville is a sophisticated, health-conscious community, and Block 59 offers exactly the type of environment that aligns with our brand—premium, accessible, and focused on quality of life. We're excited to establish our presence here with a strong local operator."

The new center is located within Block 59, Naperville's premier dining and entertainment destination developed by Brixmor Property Group. Positioned at the intersection of Route 59 and Aurora Avenue, Block 59 serves as a year-round gathering place for families and visitors, offering curated dining, retail, and seasonal experiences such as the popular Magic Ice skating rink. The development complements adjacent Westridge Court, anchored by Ulta Beauty and Wayfair Outlet.

"We're proud to welcome Serotonin Anti-Aging Center's first Illinois location to Block 59," said Mike Kurkowski, Senior Leasing Representative at Brixmor Property Group. "We're curating a destination where guests can dine, shop, and invest in their well-being. Serotonin's innovative approach to skincare and self-care adds exactly the kind of best-in-class experience our community is looking for."

The Naperville center signals continued expansion into major metropolitan markets nationwide.
