Restore Your Natural Hairline
Hair loss is extremely common in both men and women across the US—and yet, there are a variety of misconceptions about the causes of this condition (genetics, poor diet, lack of circulation, etc.) But the truth is, no matter the cause, hair loss can quickly become a detriment to our self-confidence.
CaTara in Algonquin offers hair regeneration services for clients who are suffering from hair loss, as well as preventative care, using PRP injections and topical exosomes. The PRP is derived from your own body. Once injected, it can increase blood circulation to the hair follicles in the scalp, decrease the rate of hair loss, and promote the growth of new hair. Topical exosomes are applied to provide essential nutrients and aid in the healing process.

The Hair Regeneration Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Before your treatment you'll meet with one of our medical providers for an initial consultation. We will discuss your hair loss concerns, goals, and sensitivities to find the best approach for you. Based on this consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan for your needs.
Treatment
Once you and your provider decide on the exact treatment for your needs, we will schedule your initial appointment on a day convenient for you.
Procedures
PRP INJECTIONS - Our medical provider will then inject small amounts of this PRP into the scalp to help stimulate hair growth in areas of thinning or total loss. RF MICRONEEDLING - We will apply numbing cream to the area to ensure your comfort. The microneedling will be performed in the area needed to stimulate hair growth, and exosomes (growth factors) will be applied to aid in the healing and regeneration process. KERAVIVE SCALP THERAPY - With no numbing time needed, you will relax while our provider uses light suction to cleans and exfoliate the scalp. This helps to balance the skins microbiome and stimulate hair growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do PRP injections hurt?
Getting blood drawn, and subsequent PRP injections, at CaTara in Algonquin should feel no more painful than a regular blood draw. If you are concerned about feeling uncomfortable during treatment, we would be happy to discuss a pain management plan with you in advance.
How long do results last after PRP hair regeneration?
Because we are stimulating natural hair growth, results will vary between patients. Results tend to appear between three to four weeks after treatment and will continue to improve for up to three months.
When should I come to CaTara for PRP hair regeneration?
The sooner you come to us after noticing thinning hair or bald spots, the better. Studies have shown that the longer the condition has persisted, the less likely it is that treatment may be effective.
What is Keravive Scalp Therapy at CaTara?
The Keravive treatment supports natural hair growth. It has a 3 step process to cleanse, exfoliate dead skin cells and hydrate the scalp with topical nutrients. This stimulates circulation and helps to encourage new hair growth.
What is RF Microneedling for hair growth at CaTara?
RF Microneedling is essentially follicle stimulation. It helps to stimulate dormant hair follicles and then with the application of exosomes, we supply the skin with needed nutrients to encourage growth.
