I had my second hair transplant with northwestern hair and I couldn't be happier. From consultation to procedure Dr. Rawlani set expectations and told you exactly what to be prepared for. I was happy with my first round of FUE but my second round I went with Micro FUE after Dr. Rawlani suggested it based on my desired goal and it exceeded my expectations beyond imaginable. If you are in the market this is the place to go, you will not be disappointed.

Dr Vinay Rawlani is as good a physician as they come. He is extremely thorough and an expert in his field. I did tons of research before selecting a practice to perform this procedure and I could not have made a better decision. The results look amazing. You will not be disappointed if you select Dr Vinay for your procedure. He is very client focused and a pleasure to work with. His entire team is the best in the business. men

Dr. Vinay is the consummate pro. He is down to earth, very knowledgeable, and makes sure I am comfortable through the entire procedure. This clinic uses state of the art practices and the results are noticeable. I would highly recommend this business!

Dr Vinay Rawlani is the most knowledgeable surgeon on hair restoration I've met. He is smart and sensible and completely trustworthy. As a physician myself I recognize clinical acumen and I've sent other physician colleagues to Dr Rawlani. My results have exceeded expectations!

The procedure is really painless minimal soreness that I barely needed advil for
I was set up with e-mail alerts for instructions at specific time points so no need to store all that it was provided in real-time
when I did have questions it was instant response from Dr Rawlani
I compared him to other brands that advertise on billboards etc and the pricing was much more fair

Summary: No need to go to Turkey or anywhere else for hair restoration: the best is right here in Chicago!

I did the microfue procedure and am really happy with how it went. The procedure itself was surprisingly painless and relaxed and recovery wasn’t as bad as I expected. I had a not so great experience with another place and wish I discovered NW sooner.

RUTHIE V.

Women’s Hair Restoration Patient

I went to see Dr. Rawlani for hair PRP. BEST decision I have ever made. He was so thoughtful and caring. He laid out a plan for me and walked me through everything. Before he injected the PRP, he wanted me to verbalize which areas were of most concern to me. He injected numbing first to make the whole procedure more tolerable. I am excited to see my results after completing my treatments!

RAJESHWARI A.

Women’s Hair Program Patient

Hair loss is difficult for everyone. I’ve been a hairdresser for thirty years and Dr. Vinay is the ONLY hair transplant doctor I refer my clients too. Everyone that has gone to him is obsessed with having hair again!! For my female clients I recommend PRP injections. Vinay is the best if you want your hair to look like it did 15 years ago 👍🏼

JILLIAN S.

I’m very grateful for this clinic. I had a lot of shedding after some stress. The entire team was supportive and got me back on track.

Most helpful and honest consultation and hair specialist I’ve been to. Dr. V was very clear about options and expectations. Finally seeing the results and I am very happy with them. Have recommended him to many people!

LISA W.

Women’s Hair Program Patient

I had PRP done a few weeks ago with Dr. Rawlani and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! He was extremely attentive to my concerns of hair growth. I felt super comfortable and the procedure was painless! I can’t wait to go back in a few weeks for my second treatment and begin seeing results!

NICOLE S.

Women’s Hair Program Patient

I have been experiencing hair thinning since getting tape in extensions, no longer have those! I met with Dr. Vinay Rawlani to discuss my options and he created a whole plan for me! During the process, he has made me feel comfortable and heard. Sometimes talking about hair loss is an awkward topic making me feel insecure. I’ve been taking Nutrafol, and Minoxidil in combo with doing PRP every 4ish weeks! I can confidently and proudly say my hair is already thicker and healthier! Hair growth is an awkward and long, slow-seeming process BUT Vinay takes away the stress and worry! Also, need to mention his touch is very light so I could barely feel the numbing pre-PRP injections, almost painless! Cannot wait to share my results! Thank you, Dr. Vinay!

COURTNEY J.

Women’s Hair Restoration Patient

Almost 18 months out from my procedure and to say the least I’m very happy with the results. The entire team at Northwestern Hair including vinay kendall and carmen are the best. Everything was smooth. no hiccups. My entire procedure was hidden in 3 days. Highly recommend. I saw 3 consultants – this is the best team around.

VIVEK R.

Men’s Hair Restoration Patient

It’s been 1.5 years since my husband did a hair transplant. I couldn’t be happier with the amazing results. His hair texture is stronger and of the same length as the rest of the hair and continues to improve. Dr. Vinay and his staff did a great job making the entire restoration process seamless. Their customer service is excellent and really makes you feel like they care. I would definitely recommend this place for all your hair restoration needs.

I started losing my hair and self-identity in my twenties. I spent 10 years looking for help before finding Northwestern Hair. Dr. Vinay is the kindest, most talented doctor you’ll ever meet. His positivity and amazing results have restored my confidence and forever transformed my outlook on life.

RAKI P.
