TESTIMONIAL

David F.

I went to Dr. Vinay for my hair transplant. I could not be any happier with my results. My transplant looks more natural than my natural hair!
I cannot tell whether Vinay is a doctor or an artist. You don’t think of the two mixing, but he does both so god damn well.

WHY $4/GRAFT?

Every procedure performed in the Northwestern Hair Lab at International Hair Institute is performed by Dr. Vinay and contributes to the advancement of hair restoration. You’ll receive an FUE transplant plus a technique we’re actively developing or refining. These may be enhancements we’ve found especially valuable and are continuing to study in real-world conditions. The cost stays accessible – $4/graft – because your procedure helps move the work forward.

TESTIMONIAL

P.V.

I started shaving my head well before I lost my hair. I was tired of putting goop or foam in my hair and seeing little to no impact. I scheduled a transplant in 2012 with another doctor and backed out because it was such a high-pressure consultation that it just didn’t feel right to proceed. Fast forward 8 years. Someone very close to me was having great success with new meds and I thought it was time to reach out and see if medicine had a solution for my hair loss. I talked with several clinics – each selling me the promise of a full head of hair with just a couple procedures. Felt like 2012 all over again. I was about to give up when I came upon Northwestern Hair. I paid for the consult. It was a casual conversation where Dr. Vinay came to learn more about me and my goals. I came to see him in his office and was shocked to see the Dr. meeting with me and not some salesperson. Vinay was patient in answering my questions and transparent with what was available to me. Two years and two procedures later and I’m completely blown away. He did not do what the others promised. Rather, he learned about my needs, told me what was possible and collaborated with me in choosing a path that felt right. From there, his inner artist took over and he personally designed the outcome that would make me feel like me at my current age (41). I can’t say enough about how Dr. Vinay personally guides you through this entire process. From the initial consult through the recovery process, he answers every text and checks in frequently. I never felt like profit was his motive. Nor did I feel like I was one of several procedures he would be doing that day. I was one of one and learned that he dedicates entire days to single patients. That attention to me was reflected in the attention he paid to my hair and the outcome. If you’ve read this far and scrolled the infinite glowing reviews – know that you have found the needle in the haystack.

IN PARTNERSHIP

IHI & Northwestern Hair LAB

The International Hair Institute has long been known as a center of excellence in hair restoration. Originally led by Dr. Carlos Puig, founder of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, the clinic was established to provide high-quality, low-cost transplants to patients from
around the world.

Now under the leadership of Dr. Vinay Rawlani, Chief of Hair Restoration at Northwestern Hair, IHI continues that mission with a newly added focus: developing the next generation of surgical techniques. Today, the Northwestern Hair Lab at IHI is where those advancements are tested, refined, and made accessible.

in the Lab:

TIMELESS HAIRLINE INNOVATIONS

In the Northwestern Hair Lab, Dr. Vinay is actively developing techniques that improve how hairlines are designed, how grafts are harvested, and how they’re placed. These are some of the innovations created through live surgical cases, which are already changing the quality, density, and longevity of results.

Hairline Design

Great results start with a personalized and perfect hairline design. Dr. Vinay carefully crafts your hairline to match your facial structure and ensure it looks natural, not just today, but ages timelessly with you.

Sequential Extraction

We begin by extracting fine, single-hair grafts, followed by thicker, multi-hair grafts, using micro-instruments. The approach allows hairs to be inserted closer together, increasing hairline density while feathering its appearance.

Linear Insertion

Instead of circular punch sites, we use narrow linear slits to place hairs closer together with less trauma. This technique increases density while preserving skin health and achieving a more natural result.

MICRO FUE

Traditional PUE methods use sharp blades and tweezers, which can damage follicles, causing scarring and poor survival rates. MICRO PUE minimizes these risks with precision vibration and suction technology, preserving vital structures like oil glands and connective tissue.

TESTIMONIAL

Alex M.

I chose Dr. Vinay because he had a vision for my hair. During my consultation, he asked me to pause asking questions (in a very kindly way) so he could finish drawing my hairline. At that point, I realized that I was not only dealing with one of the most capable and confident doctors I ever met, but a uniquely talented artist who I wanted to work with.

Results in our clients’ words:

I had a tremendous experience working with Dr. Vinay and his team. Extremely knowledgeable and personable, Dr. Vinay works tirelessly to make your experience as simple and seamless as possible. Would recommend it to anyone!

KEVIN S.

One year in and the results have been not only as hoped but also notable for the great, realistic-looking design. The procedure day was easy (enjoyable might be too strong a term, but it certainly was enjoyable in a sense), Dr. Rawlani’s after-procedure videos were very helpful and realistic and the communication since has been great. Highly recommended.

JIM P.

I went to Northwestern Hair for my hair transplant and was very impressed. The entire process from scheduling my consultation to my follow up visit was much smoother than I expected. Dr. Rawlani was excellent. He was very accessible, knowledgeable and down to earth. It was clear from my other consultations that Northwestern Hair was the most competent hair transplant team in the city. I could not be any happier with my results. I look very natural. I’ve shown my results to a lot of people including a few hair transplant surgeons. No one could tell.

THE TRANSFORMATION

My husband’s experience at Northwestern Hair with Dr. Vinay was outstanding. From the initial consultation to the follow-up appointment after his FUE hair transplant procedure, the process was flawless. Dr. Vinay offers personalized service, provides his cellphone number for any questions, and goes out of his way to ensure a smooth and successful hair transplant journey. Dr. Vinay’s team is outstanding, which included a haircut before and after the procedure, and Dr. Vinay personally coming on a weekend to complete the washing of my husband’s hair in his follow-up appointment after the procedure, to accommodate our schedule ahead of a work trip. Kudos to Dr. Vinay and team!

BRITNEY T.

Dr Vinay and his team are the best in the business. I researched five different companies before selecting Northwestern Hair and I could not have made a better decision. Could not be happier with the initial results. If you are looking to have a procedure completed, look no further than this office. There are very good reasons as to why they have such positive reviews. They are experts in what they do.

KEN L.

I had been thinking about getting this hair procedure done for a couple of years, and finally booked a consultation with NW Hair. Dr. Vinay was extremely professional, and just made the entire process seem so much simpler.

From the great care and after care videos they have on their website, to the constant communication I was able to have with their team throughout the process, I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish.

The actual procedure was such a wonderful environment. I was the only client in the building that day, so it gave me full attention of the staff, and everything felt calm and comfortable.

If you were thinking about doing a hair procedure, I cannot recommend northwestern hair enough. I’m so happy I had this done and look forward to continuing my relationship with them as touch ups are needed throughout the years.
