Parking
There is parking at the building itself — worth knowing given how long a procedure day actually takes.
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.
The follow-up is the point.
The reason that matters more than the distance: hair restoration is not a single appointment. Grafts shed at two to four weeks, regrowth starts somewhere around months three to six, and the real result lands at twelve to eighteen months. Being 10 miles away means the person who planned your hairline is the person looking at it in month eight, not a clinic in another time zone answering by email.
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.
Two procedures, for Burbank patients as for everyone else.
FUE hair transplant
Extraction one follicular unit at a time, for scalp, eyebrows and beard. The technique is the same in each case; what changes is which units are used and how they are angled.

PRP therapy
Platelet-rich plasma concentrated from your own blood, used to support follicles that are thinning but not yet gone. Not a substitute for surgery.

Your donor area is finite.
Most of the regret we hear about traces back to the same decision: a hairline placed too low, too early, using donor hair that was needed later. The safe lifetime supply is finite — published guidance puts it around four to eight thousand follicular units — and the plan has to be built backwards from that number.
Not everyone who asks should be operated on this year. Grafts placed into a pattern that is still actively receding leave transplanted hair in front of a new gap. When loss is moving, medical therapy comes first — sometimes for a year — and that is the difference between one procedure and three.
