According to an article released by Harvard Health Publishing, one-third of all women will experience alopecia (hair loss) at some point in their lifetime. Because female baldness is considered less socially acceptable than it is in men, the condition can bring about strong feelings of self-consciousness. Our medical team in Chicago is proud to offer surgical solutions, which typically generate more reliable, permanent results than over-the-counter treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine®). During our transplant procedures, we will take healthy hair follicles from another area of your scalp that is not affected by baldness and carefully transplant the hair follicles into the areas of concern. To ensure that your procedure is comfortable and carefully performed, treatments are typically performed over several sessions.

You don't have to live with the unsatisfying result of a previous treatment. You can take the first step towards experiencing natural-looking, permanent hair growth today. Dr. Konior is a world-renowned hair restoration surgeon with the advanced training and skills necessary to provide the best retreatment options available. He is joined by Dr. Nadimi, who came to our practice to learn the advanced techniques used by Dr. Konior.

If you are suffering from hair loss, know that you are not alone. It's estimated that 50 percent of all men and a third of women will experience androgenetic alopecia, or balding, at some point in their lives. While hair loss is common as we age, there is still a large amount of shame and negativity surrounding the topic. We are here not only to provide solutions, but to offer support and education on hair loss. Dr. Konior has been helping patients just like you treat their hair loss since opening his Chicago, IL, practice in 1996. Our team is passionate about giving patients the results they need to regain confidence in their appearance.

Our treatments are designed to address your areas of insecurity, boost your self-esteem, and improve your overall quality of life.

Follicular unit extraction dates back to the late 1930s when a doctor in Japan developed the technique. Since then, FUE methodology has evolved significantly and is now an effective, popular choice for surgical hair transplantation. Follicular units are hair follicles that contain one to four hairs. In an FUE hair transplant procedure, these units are extracted one at a time from the donor area. This procedure is very different from older hair transplant methods like elliptical strip harvesting, which removes an entire strip of skin that is then broken down into the individual follicular units. For patients who lack sufficient hair on the scalp for a donor site, FUE can also transplant body hair.

The fact that both of our hair transplant surgeons are also experts in facial plastic surgery can help you achieve results that exceed your expectations. Dr. Konior and Dr. Nadimi create natural-looking hairlines that seamlessly complement your hair system and your face.

Many of our transgender patients display typical male pattern baldness and hair loss that natural hair growth can not replace. Hair styling and surgical strategy can be combined to feminize your overall look while adding density to thinning or bald front, mid-scalp, and crown areas. Some patients do opt to purchase a feminine wig to hide hair loss, but this surgical solutions can offer more natural results. A woman's hairline is typically much lower than that of a man's. Ultra-refined follicular unit transplantation can reverse male recessed temples, resulting in a rounded, feminine appearance. The amount of hair transplants to achieve this look will be tailored to your eyebrow position and forehead shape.
