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.
DuPage County is where the practice sits, and the majority of the people we see live inside it. That has a practical consequence worth stating plainly: your follow-up appointments at three, eight and twelve months are a local errand rather than a planned trip, which is the single biggest reason people finish a treatment plan instead of abandoning it halfway.
The follow-up is the point.
Here is what proximity actually buys you. If growth is disappointing at month eight, someone has to look at your scalp under magnification and say why. From Elmhurst that is a 15-minute drive. From an overseas clinic it is a photograph attached to an 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 Elmhurst 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
A medical option rather than a surgical one, used alongside or instead of a transplant depending on where your loss actually is.

Your donor area is finite.
Every plan we make starts at the back of your head rather than the front. The donor zone is the only hair that resists DHT, and published guidance in the ISHRS Hair Transplant Forum International puts a typical safe lifetime supply somewhere between four and eight thousand follicular units. It does not refill. Taking more than twenty to thirty percent from one zone in a single session risks permanent, visible thinning.
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.
