Hair Follicle Wellness™
+ Medical Hair Restoration
One Coordinated Care Model. Every Hair Restoration Solution.
At HairLab Chicago, exceptional hair restoration begins long before a procedure or prescription — it begins with understanding the health of the hair follicle. Our care model brings trichology, scalp wellness, CRLAB CNC Hair Systems, and physiciandirected medical care together into one coordinated plan.
A Care Model Built Around the Follicle and the Whole Person
The HairLab Care Model is one coordinated approach to hair restoration in Chicago that pairs Hair Follicle Wellness™ with physician-directed medical care when appropriate.
Our Hair Follicle Wellness™ philosophy is built on the belief that every person deserves a personalized evaluation — one that considers the scalp, hair follicle, lifestyle, overall wellness, and, when medically appropriate, physician-directed care. By reviewing possible contributing factors and guiding each person toward the most appropriate pathway, we create solutions that are thoughtful, comprehensive, and designed for long-term support.
To bring this vision to life, HairLab Chicago has formed a strategic partnership with Northwestern Hair Restoration and Dr. Vinay Rawlani , a physician trained in plastic surgery and hair restoration. Together we combine HairLab’s expertise in trichology and scalp wellness and CRLAB CNC Hair Systems with physician-led medical and surgical expertise — so the right solution is explored through collaboration, never a one-size-fits-all approach.

Each practice remains independent and leads in its own area of expertise — united by one shared, coordinated plan for your care.

What makes this partnership different?
HairLab and Northwestern Hair Restoration remain independent practices while working together to provide a more complete hair restoration experience. By combining Hair Follicle Wellness™, physician expertise, and advanced restoration options, patients receive coordinated care without the need to navigate multiple providers on their own.
Do I need to be considering surgery?
Not at all. Many of our patients are seeking answers—not surgery. In fact, many treatment plans begin with improving scalp health, identifying underlying contributing factors, and restoring follicle wellness before surgery is ever considered. Our goal is to recommend the right solution for you, whether that involves clinical trichology, medical management, hair transplantation, or a CRLAB CNC Hair System.
Can I receive medical testing through HairLab?
Yes. When medically appropriate, HairLab coordinates physician-directed services through our partnership with Dr. Vinay. This may include diagnostic laboratory testing, scalp biopsy, prescription management, or medical consultation as part of your personalized Hair Follicle Wellness Plan.
