Regenerate 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 Chicago offers hair restoration services for clients who are suffering from hair loss, as well as preventative care, using PRP and Exosome injections. These injections use products from your own body. Once injected, it can increase blood circulation to the hair follicles in the scalp, decrease the rate of your hair loss, and promote the growth of new hair.

Why Try Hair Restoration in Algonquin?

We derive the PRP injectable product from your own body in order to prevent any complications during treatment.

Complements Other Approaches
If you've already had a hair transplant or other procedure to reduce hair loss, PRP injections can help improve upon your existing results.

The Hair Restoration Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Before your PRP injections in Algonquin, 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.
Blood Draw
The first step in the PRP hair restoration process is to draw your blood, place it in a centrifuge, and isolate the PRP growth factors from the red and white blood cells.
PRP Injections
CaTara will then inject small amounts of this PRP into the scalp to help stimulate hair growth in areas of thinning or total loss.
