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.
The Eisenhower carries most of our near-west patients, and it behaves predictably: slow inbound in the morning, clear outbound, which is the direction you are travelling. West to Route 83 and south is two roads and one decision, and it is the same run in reverse when you leave.
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 18-minute drive from Oak 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 Oak Park 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.
A donor area is a budget, not a resource. Removing more than twenty to thirty percent of the follicular units from one zone in a single session risks visible permanent thinning there — which is why large restorations are staged rather than done in one sitting, and why we plan for the pattern you will have in twenty years rather than the one in the mirror today.
The most useful thing a consultation can tell you is that it is too early. A hairline designed around a pattern that has not declared itself yet is a decision you cannot undo, because the donor hair spent on it does not come back.

Book an examination, not a quote.
Coming from Oak Park, book the examination before you commit to anything — including to us. Ask which physician directs your care, ask what happens if growth disappoints at month eight, and ask how much donor supply is being held back for later.
