How hair treatments work
Both work on the follicle
Every hair grows from a follicle and cycles through growing, resting and shedding. That cycle is why neither treatment is one and done.
Thinning
Follicles can shrink over time and grow finer hairs. PRP places growth factors from your own platelets in the scalp to support them.
Patience with PRP
Shedding usually slows within a few months, and density is judged after the full series.
Unwanted hair
Laser light is absorbed by the pigment in a growing hair and heats the follicle so it stops making hair.
Why laser takes a series
Only hairs in the growing phase respond, so a series spaced several weeks apart catches each hair at the right time.
Side by side
Two treatments, side by side
Appointment times and downtime come straight from each treatment page.

Hair treatments: your questions, answered
How much does laser hair removal cost in Lincoln Park?
It's priced by area, per session: small areas $75, medium $109, large $142 and full body $500. You can pay in 4 with Afterpay or Klarna.
How many laser sessions will I need?
It takes a series, because each session only catches the hairs that are growing at the time. The laser hair removal page explains how many sessions to expect for each area.
Can I shave between laser sessions?
Yes. Shaving is fine, but avoid waxing, plucking or threading, because the laser needs the hair root in place. Your provider will give you full prep instructions.
Is PRP right for my thinning hair?
PRP tends to suit thinning at the crown or hairline best. Your provider will look at your scalp first and explain how many sessions to expect.
How much does PRP hair restoration cost?
PRP hair restoration is $800 per session.
