What Kinds of Restorative Treatment Do We Perform?
The team at Chicago Hair Institute offers several solutions to treat male and female hair loss. Our procedures are designed to address the underlying condition of balding to stimulate natural and full-looking growth. Dr. Konior is trained in both dermatology and cosmetic surgery and provide a range of options to both prevent and restore hair loss.
Regain Your Confidence With Hair Restoration
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 practice in 1996. Our team is passionate about giving patients the results they need to regain confidence in their appearance. Don't be afraid to seek help for your condition.

Why Patients Choose Dr. Konior...
"I've had two procedures with Dr. Raymond J. Konior. The first time was 5 years ago and the wait was two months. The second time? The wait was a little over a year. There's good reason for that; because Dr. Konior is simply one of the best hair restoration surgeons in the world. Yes, world. Patients come from all over the globe for his services..." Scott C.

Patients of our Chicago practice can correct their hairlines, disguise scars, and rectify failed prior treatments to receive a stunning, natural-looking outcome.
Surgical Hair Loss Solutions
We utilize several different techniques at our Chicago practice to discreetly correct hair loss. One of the most effective ways to achieve hair restoration is hair transplant surgery. There are two main methods of transplantation: follicular unit extraction and strip harvesting. You and the doctor will discuss the benefits of each hair transplant technique, and choose the ideal method for your restoration...
Follicular Unit Extraction
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a more complex and skilled method of obtaining hair follicles for transplants. The doctor individually extracts follicular units, groups containing one to four hairs, from the donor site. If you lack sufficient follicles on the back of the scalp, we can also perform FUE with body hair. The main advantage of FUE is avoiding the scarring that can result from strip harvesting methods. While the doctor extracts follicles form a larger donor area, the procedure will leave small, discreet circular scars that can easily be disguised.
Donor Strip Harvesting
Strip harvesting is the more traditional method for extracting hair follicles from a donor site. We begin by taking strips of tissue from an area with good hair growth, typically in the posterior of the scalp. We then harvest the hair follicles under microscopes to avoid damaging the follicular cells. Our strip incisions are meticulously made under high power magnification to extract high-quality donor strip. The area is sealed with a layered closure technique to minimize tension and the accumulation of tissue, resulting in a subtle, concealable scar.
The Results Are Stunning and Natural

Lateral Slit Technique
Lateral slits are used to create recipient sites for donor hair graft transplants. Lateral graphing allows the doctor to better control the angle in which grafted follicles are placed. By angling hair close to the scalp, we can create the illusion of greater hair density even if we are unable to harvest a large number of follicles in a strip or in FUE.

Follicular Unit Preparation
Our team carefully prepares the follicular units in our precise dissection process. The first phase is known as slivering, where we divide the donor strip of hair into small sections of tissue. Our technicians then refine the isolated units as much as possible under high-power binocular microscopy. Once they are prepared, they are sorted by the number of hairs in the follicular unit and carefully stored in a hydrating solution. This highly scientific and technical process is designed to maintain a large quantity of useable follicles for your future hair transplant.

Stick and Place Technique
During a traditional hair transplant, a surgeon will pre-make all the openings for donor hair follicles before placing the units. In contrast, our doctors use a modern stick and place technique that is more accommodating to natural skin elasticity. By placing each donor follicle immediately after making an opening, the holes can be smaller and follicles are more accurately inserted. The stick and place technique is especially useful when filling out thinning areas in an existing patch of hair as we can create a denser transplant.

Trichophytic Closure
The trichophytic closure helps minimize visible scarring at the hair follicle donor site. A technique long practiced by plastic surgeons for its aesthetic benefits, Dr. Konior has adapted the technique for donor strip incisions to make the resulting scar virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding skin. Rather than stitching together the scalp at the site of a harvested strip, we carefully trim the two sides of the skin to allow for hair growth through the resulting scar.

Mega-Sessions
Mega-sessions involve placing a large quantity of hair follicle grafts in a single appointment. Requiring a high level of surgical skill, Dr. Konior is one of the few doctors with the ability to perform hair restoration mega-sessions with satisfactory results. Mega-sessions can take anywhere from eight to twelve hours to complete and will transfer approximately 3500 to 5000 grafts. While these sessions can be lengthy, they result in minimal scarring due to a fewer amount of overall procedures and quicker hair restoration.

Hairline Surgery
Hairline surgery alters the composition of the hairline by lowering the point where natural growth occurs on the forehead. During this procedure, also known as a forehead reduction surgery, the doctor will graft follicles below the point where the hairline naturally occurs to create the illusion of a smaller forehead and establish better facial balance and symmetry. This hair restoration surgery is also useful for patients who wear hair systems to disguise baldness. By framing the face with real hair, a hairpiece will blend in and look more like natural hair growth.
