Parking

Parking is on site. A procedure day runs most of a working day, so arriving without circling for a space matters more here than at an ordinary appointment.

Route 83 does the whole job. It runs north-south through the western suburbs and passes within a block of the practice at 22nd Street, so there is no expressway merge and no toll on this trip at all. It is the route we most often describe over the phone, because it is the one that is hardest to get wrong.

Cook County patients reach us from the near-west suburbs, and the trip is almost always shorter than expected — the county line sits a few miles east of the practice. It is worth knowing because the twelve-to-eighteen month follow-up schedule is what decides whether a result is assessed properly, and that schedule only works if getting here is unremarkable.


Why treat this locally

The follow-up is the point.

Distance matters less than continuity. A transplant is judged at twelve to eighteen months, not on the day. From Berwyn you can be examined, treated, and then actually seen again — at three months, at eight months, and at a year — by the physician who designed the hairline in the first place.

At this distance the follow-up schedule stops being a logistical question at all. Grafts shed at two to four weeks, regrowth starts somewhere around months three to six, and the result is judged at twelve to eighteen months — and every one of those checkpoints is a short drive rather than a day out.

What we do

Two procedures, for Berwyn patients as for everyone else.


The part most clinics skip

Your donor area is finite.

There is a ceiling on this and it is worth knowing before anyone quotes you a graft count. Published ISHRS guidance describes a safe lifetime donor supply of roughly four to eight thousand follicular units, varying widely between individuals. Spending it early is the one mistake in hair restoration that cannot be corrected later.

Stabilise first, operate second. That order is not caution for its own sake — it is what keeps a single procedure from becoming a sequence of corrections, each one spending donor supply you were going to need at fifty.

Yes. We perform follicular unit extraction, and platelet-rich plasma therapy to support the hair you still have. We do not perform strip harvesting, and we are not a menu of competing technique names.

Yes. The same follicular unit extraction is used for eyebrow and beard restoration. What changes is which units are taken, at what angle, and in what order — the published density ranges for facial areas are quite different from scalp.

About 8 miles. The usual route is ogden Avenue west to Route 83, which takes roughly 18 minutes outside peak hours. We are at 2425 W. 22nd Street, Suite 205C in Oak Brook, with parking on site.

Most people take a few days. The recipient area is visibly pink and crusted in the first week, so the honest answer depends on how public your work is rather than on how you feel, which is usually fine within a day or two.
