What should I expect on the day of my hair transplant procedure?

Your hair transplantation procedure is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can leave the office with your new hair in just a few hours. However, you will need to arrive at the hospital early so that we can start prepping your skin for surgery and get you comfortable in a private room.

Will my hair transplant procedure involve any bit of pain at all?

No, your hair transplant procedure will not be painful at all. Your scalp will be numbed with local anesthesia injected into the scalp before the hair transplantation procedure begins.

The length of time it takes for a hair transplant procedure varies based on the type of procedure you have, your health and any other factors. The average time is around 6-12 hours.

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!

This program gave me the boost I needed to start a new lifestyle. The treatment helped me control my diet and Dr. Vinay’s practical tips helped me introduce healthier habits into my life as I became more confident in my ability to loose weight. If you’re feeling like you cannot do it, you’re wrong. You just need Dr. Vinay and his team beside you.

PARIS G.

Weight Loss Program 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.

SONAL R.

(Wife of) Men’s Hair Restoration Patient

Exceptional results! I received my hair transplant about 6 months ago and the results are just amazing. Dr.Vinay and the staff were very knowledgeable and professional. I did extensive research and consults before getting the procedure done, Northwestern Hair is by far the best in every aspect!

JAIME R.

Men’s Hair Restoration Patient

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.

When we look better, we feel better. We have a better attitude. We’re able to kind of look at life a little bit differently. I think this treatment plan is a great tool for people of all shapes and sizes.

Dr. Vinay transformed my thin, balding hair into a thick head of dream hair. It was my biggest insecurity, and now I am beyond confident with my new look. I will forever thank the team at Northwestern Hair!

JIM C.

I reached my goal weight in only 3 months. I feel healthier and more confident than ever. I cannot recommend Northwestern Weight Loss and Dr. Vinay enough for making me believe I could do it.

ALEX G.

Weight Loss Program Patient

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.

BRIAN J.

Weight Loss Program Patient

I am a stylist and have worked with Dr. Vinay Rawlani. After seeing clients before and after the procedures, it’s truly an amazing transformation that I would recommend to all my clients. I am always impressed by his attention to detail and dedication to care with follow ups after. I would recommend his services and look forward to seeing the amazing transformations to come!
