When patients start researching a hair transplant, the question is almost always the same: how many grafts do I need? It’s the right hair transplant graft count question to ask — but the number means more once you understand how it’s built. This page walks you through it: map your area, calibrate to your donor hair, then weigh the other influences.

How much does a hair transplant cost? There's no single average hair transplant cost — it depends on your graft count and technique. Select the areas you'd like to restore, and our hair transplant cost calculator shows both your Northwestern Hair Restoration ($7) and Northwestern Hair Studio ($5) price.
This is an estimate. Your exact graft count and price are confirmed in consultation.
Our flagship program, where every procedure is custom designed by Dr. Vinay. It’s also home to our advanced techniques — Micro PUE®, Discreet PUE®, and Long-Hair PUE® — for patients who want hair restoration beyond FUE: the whole hair unit transferred for more natural results, with the option to keep the procedure discreet and see results immediately. Advanced techniques are priced at your consultation.
The same team and the same procedures, through our patient content program. When you help us document your journey for future patients — photos, videos, and testimonials — you save $2 per graft, making Studio the most affordable hair transplant at a physician-driven practice in Chicago.
The fear that kept Wilbur from a chair abroad is the thing we refuse to repeat. Nothing here is a black box.
Your per-graft price is the whole price — no facility fees, no anesthesia fees, no surprise charges. It includes your consultation and hairline design with Dr. Vinay, the procedure with Dr. Vinay and his team, and all of your aftercare. What we quote is what you pay.
Spread your procedure over 12 months with 0% interest. We offer flexible hair transplant financing through three options — PatientFi, CareCredit, and Cherry — and you choose whichever is best for you. All use soft credit checks.
Northwestern Hair accepts HSA and FSA payments. We provide an invoice for your procedure, and you handle eligibility with your plan administrator.
