About the Clinic

Dr. Yates, MD is a hair restoration practice operating from an office in Chicago's Loop. Surgical work centers on minimally invasive follicular unit extraction using both manual and robotic systems, with hair-sparing FUE for some patients and body-hair transplants from the beard, chest, or back where donor supply is limited. The practice also offers eyebrow and facial hair restoration, and programs for women, African American patients and others with textured hair, and gender-affirming clients. Non-surgical options include PRP, exosome therapy, Keralase, laser light therapy, scalp micropigmentation, and topical serums, alongside an in-house line of hair products. Procedures are performed by the practice's own surgeon.

Procedures Offered

ARTAS
ARTAS is a robotic hair transplant system that automates the FUE process using advanced imaging and artificial intelligence to identify, select, and extract individual hair follicles with precision. The robot works under the surgeon's guidance to harvest grafts more consistently than manual extraction, potentially reducing human error and procedure time. ARTAS can offer enhanced accuracy and less fatigue-related variability, and is only available at select clinics with this specialized technology.
FUE
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a small circular punch tool. The harvested follicles are then carefully implanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This method leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars rather than a linear scar, resulting in faster healing and the ability to wear shorter hairstyles. Because of this, FUE is the most popular hair transplant technique today.
