What Is MicroFUE?
MicroFUE is a minimally invasive form of hair transplant surgery performed at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery for men suffering from hair loss in the Chicago, IL area. The "Micro" in MicroFUE stands for "Minimally Invasive Collection by Reticular Oscillation." Unlike traditional follicular unit extraction (FUE), which involves punching out larger areas of donor tissue for transplanting, MicroFUE uses a combination of vibration and suction to pull tiny grafts with less risk of harming the follicles. This approach offers greater comfort and customization options while producing less visible scarring. During your consultation at our office, we'll discuss the different approaches we offer for hair restoration and help you decide the method that's right for you. If you are noticing thinning or bald spots on your scalp, we encourage you to contact Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery to learn more about your options for regaining your hair and your confidence.
How Is MicroFUE Performed?
During your consultation, we'll discuss the potential causes of your hair loss and review our different hair restoration methods before helping you decide on a treatment that's right for you. We'll also talk about what you can expect, including how many sessions and grafts might be needed to get the results you want. MicroFUE treatments are performed at our Chicago, IL office using local anesthesia applied to the scalp. When you're ready, we'll use our state-of-the-art MicroFUE device to extract healthy follicles (usually from the back or side of the head) with minimal damage to the area. These micro grafts will then be implanted in the area where we want to stimulate regrowth. Because of the minimally invasive nature of MicroFUE, most patients report little to no pain during the recovery period after their treatment. We will schedule follow-up appointments after your surgery to monitor your results and ensure the new hair is growing healthy and strong.
What Are the Benefits of MicroFUE?
Your hair is often one of the first things people notice about you, and it can play a significant role in your overall style and appearance. MicroFUE at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery offers a way for hair loss patients in the Chicago, IL area to regain their old look — as well as their confidence — with minimal discomfort or scarring. Some of the benefits of this minimally invasive approach include:
- No incisions or stitches
- Allows for more precise grafting, leading to more natural-looking results
- Reduces the chance of harming the graft during extraction
- Minimal discomfort compared to other approaches
- May produce noticeable results with fewer sessions

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Over the past two years I have worked with Dr. Schierle to achieve my postpartum 'glow up' and couldn't be more thrilled with my results. Both my chin lipo and upper bleph have left me feeling refreshed, confident and more youthful. I had both procedures in office under local anesthesia and had no issues. Not only does Dr. Schierle care about the physical result of his work but he also cares deeply about how the patient feels, which I experienced first hand during my 3 and 4 month post op appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Schierle for your plastic surgery needs- he's exceptional!

Dr. Moradian is one of a kind. Not only is he a talented surgeon but he has a great bedside manner. I am very pleased with the outcome of my procedure. I recommend Dr. Moradian very highly!
Dr. Moradian is very welcoming, professional, and talented and provides excellent care. I recommend him to anybody considering cosmetic surgery.
I love how I look and feel—that is obvious, that is the stuff that shows to the world. But what Dr. Schierle and Monika Cieszynski did for me was really so much more than that. I have struggled with loose skin and a large belly my whole life. What they REALLY did for me was free up space in my mind. I cannot put accurately into words what this does to a person. I am free. I have so much gratitude and appreciation. My body is strong and looks great—but my mind—what it did for my mind is quite profound.
