"I couldn’t be happier with the results of my hair transplant with Dr. Panine! The transformation looks incredibly natural, and the density and hairline are exactly what I was hoping for. I’m already getting compliments just a few months post-procedure. Stuart was awesome to communicate with throughout the entire process. Always responsive, clear, and reassuring, which made everything so much smoother. Highly recommend Dr. Panine and his team!"

This is one of my favorite patients. He is a great example of a mega session hair transplant. He received 4,622 grafts during one procedure. Mega sessions are complex and require a really good candidate, unparalleled surgeon technique and strict adherence to quality control standards during surgery to ensure the best results are achieved.

These are his photos before his hair transplant surgery and 18 months post-op. His results are fantastic and he is extremely happy with the outcome. I smile every time I look at it. You can't help but be happy for him.

"Dr. Panine is a true artist. He completely transformed my hairline and you would’ve even think my hair had anything done to it. Could not recommend him strongly enough. If you are on the fence, have a consultation. This is your guy to use! Have had 10+ people I know use Dr. Panine and everyone is raving about their transformation. Dr. Panine and Stuart make you feel extremely comfortable and safe and do a wonderful job."

Five Star Review of Dr. Panine and Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic by John Randa - 12/20/2025

"Dr. Panine did an outstanding job with my surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. His keen attention to detail during the surgery was evident throughout the entire process and gave me a lot of confidence. I’m only four weeks out and I’m already very pleased with how things are progressing so early on. The results so far look clean, natural, and exactly what I was hoping for. Communication with the front office was also excellent—Stuart was awesome and incredibly responsive every step of the way. I highly recommend Dr. Panine and his team to anyone considering this surgery."

Five Star Review of Dr. Panine and Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic by Joseph -
"I’ve had two hair transplants with Dr. Panine, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. They surpassed my expectations and made a significant difference in my life. For context, I was between a Norwood IV and V and would likely be nearly bald by now without the procedures and ongoing medication. In total, I received 4,000 grafts—more than enough to restore my hairline to what it looked like in my early 20s. The entire team at Dr. Panine’s office was professional, skilled, and supportive throughout the process. And considering the quality of work, the cost was very reasonable. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering hair restoration."

How long does a hair transplant surgery take?
As a hair transplant surgeon, it's a common question that I answer all the time. First, it depends on the size of the case. A 2,500 - 3,000 graft surgery usually takes 8-12 hours. Everyone is different and I don't mind working longer so that the patient can get the best outcome possible.

Read Max Power's hair transplant experience with Dr. Panine at Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic, in his own words -
"Hi Everyone -
I am a patient of Dr. Panine and this is my review of my 2,600 graft FUE procedure.  Right now I am just about 18 months post op and could not be more thrilled with the results.

Initial Consultation

For about a year I combed through what seemed like hundreds of pages of internet research on hair loss and hair transplant doctors in the Chicago-land area.  I settled on three possible options for my procedure and decided to make an initial consultation with each of them.

What I felt set Dr. Panine and his team apart was their commitment to me.  Starting with Stuart and all the way through the whole team I always felt like they had my best interests at heart -- and most importantly they listened to me.  Dr. Panine and Stuart addressed my questions and concerns and then we got out to building a plan of attack.  What also stood out to me was that Dr. Panine never over promised anything.  Looking back 18 months later I can honestly say he delivered exactly what he said he would deliver on.

The team was very upfront that no one can accurately predict hair loss and gave me some guidance and best practices for after my operation.  I really liked this because I felt like I was creating a partnership with them for the long haul, as opposed to just having my procedure and then they'd be done with me.  This really helped make my decision to go with Dr. Panine much easier.

Pre Op

Over communication became a theme throughout this process -- and I was very grateful for that.  Stuart and I chatted a few times a week leading up to my procedure and he made sure I had everything I needed and that if I had any questions he was right there to answer them.

Day of Op

In total my procedure lasted about 12 hours -- but honestly the day flew by.  My comfort was paramount to the team that day, they really made me feel welcome.

Dr. Panine made sure he explained everything upfront as well as he went along.  He allowed me to ask questions, get up and stretch and make sure I always had enough food and water.  Having the big screen TV at my disposal was an excellent touch as well!

At the end of the day Stuart was nice enough to drive me home -- what a stand up guy he is.

Post Op

The next day I came back into the office and Stuart took off my bandages, cleaned up me and took some photos.  The recovery from there was all exactly as Dr. Panine and Stuart said it would be.  The team communicated with me very well and helped me get everything moving in the right direction for a speedy recovery.  The swelling lasted a few days and after that we were off and running.

I met with Dr. Panine & Stuart every few months just to do a status check and what always amazed me about these meetings was how on top of everything they were.  They helped me understand how things were progressing and what to expect next.

Overall the recovery was very smooth and I was one of the lucky ones who progressed a bit faster than normal.  It was such a great feeling to wake up every morning and see what new progress I had made.  I kept my own journal of pictures that I took each month -- going back and looking at them is nothing short of amazing.

Conclusion

The decision to have this procedure done absolutely changed my life.  I know this sounds super cheesy but I honestly feel like a new person.

Choosing Dr. Panine really came down to his personal touch, commitment to me and the ability of his team to go above and beyond my expectations.  I would be remiss if I didn't give a huge shout out to Stuart as well.  His kindness, understanding and ability to communicate makes him one of the best in the business -- he is truly a difference maker.  I would recommend Dr. Panine not only for artistry, care and execution -- but also because Stuart is there to make you feel confident about the process the whole way through."

What is the difference between an FUE hair transplant and a CHTC Micro-FUE hair transplant?

It's the size of the blade used for incisions AND the size of the punch used for extraction.

At CHTC we take the Micro FUE surgery to the next level. We utilize a special Micro Sapphire blade (shown below) which leaves a smaller incision in the recipient area. While in the donor area, we utilize a specialized blade that reduces the diameter of the extraction to just .7 - .85mm.

A Five Star Google Review of Dr. Panine and Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic by Mitchell Provow

"I'm 38 years old. I received a 2918 graft FUE hair transplant from Dr. Panine in March of 2025. As of October 2025, it's not an exaggeration to say that this decision dramatically altered the trajectory of my life. My new hairline frames my face, and the density continues to improve. Dr. Panine's entire staff are welcoming, professional and highly capable. Dr. Panine is present for the entire procedure. The communication during aftercare is really great, and I had zero complications.The confidence I've gained from this is indescribable. It was the single most empowering decision I've ever made. It's had a ripple effect everywhere: I'm in the gym religiously, people perceive me differently. No one believes I'm 38 years old anymore. And I'm not even 7 months post-op! I'm also on 1mg of finasteride and 2.5mg of minoxidil. I began these meds one month before the transplant. I've had no side effects from the meds, but I titrated the finasteride dose up from 0.5mg because I was paranoid. To any guys on the fence about finasteride: I wish I had started it in college. Don't wait. Save your hair!"
