What services does Northwestern Hair offer?

Northwestern Hair specializes in hair restoration and transplant services for both men and women, including surgical FUE procedures, non-surgical hair restoration treatments and scalp micropigmentation.

What can I expect during my hair restoration consultation?

During your consultation at Northwestern Hair, you will meet a hair restoration specialist who will evaluate your hair loss using diagnostic tools and determine whether you are a good candidate for surgery or non-surgical treatments.

Are hair transplant results permanent?

Hair transplantation is a reliable procedure and results are considered permanent, as transplanted hair continues to grow and behaves like natural hair over time.

How long does it take to see hair growth after a FUE hair transplant?

After an FUE hair transplant, initial shedding is expected and hair regrowth typically begins within a few months, with significant improvement seen around 6 to 12 months.

Does a hair transplant leave a scar?

No, the FUE hair transplant procedure uses precise laser scalpels that do not leave a noticeable linear scar on the scalp.

How do I know if I am a good candidate for a hair transplant?

A good candidate for hair transplant surgery usually has sufficient donor hair and will be evaluated by a specialist who considers age, hair loss pattern, and overall goals before recommending the best approach.
