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.
What the 23-minute drive from Franklin Park actually buys is boring and decisive: the person who designed your hairline is the person who examines it a year later, and can be held to what they said at the start.
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 Franklin Park patients as for everyone else.
FUE hair transplant
Units taken one by one from the safe donor zone and placed at the angle and density the surrounding hair already has. No strip harvesting, and no linear scar to plan a haircut around.

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.

If you are weighing this up from Franklin Park, start with an examination rather than a quote. Bring photographs from five and ten years ago if you have them — they show how fast the pattern is actually moving, which matters more than how it looks today.
