Dr. Vladimir Panine
Oprichter en enige opererend chirurg·Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic (CHTC)
Chicago, Verenigde Staten
$10.000–$20.000 Per behandeling · Details over de kostenAchtergrond
De kliniek stelt dat Dr. Panine Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic (CHTC) in 1997 heeft opgericht.1 Ze omschrijft hem ook als de enige opererende chirurg van de kliniek en zegt dat hij elke ingreep zelf uitvoert.3 De kliniek stelt dat hij gecertificeerd is door de American Board of Dermatology, met een certificering gedateerd 14-10-1996.2 De stafpagina stelt daarnaast dat hij Fellow is van de American Academy of Dermatology.1
Behandelingen en technieken
De kliniek zegt dat Dr. Panine elk onderdeel van elke ingreep zelf uitvoert, inclusief het uitnemen, de incisies en het plaatsen van de grafts, in plaats van stappen aan technici over te laten.3 Ze biedt FUT (strip) aan en stelt dat ze alleen Micro-FUE uitvoert, zonder meerprijs ten opzichte van standaard-FUE, met een Micro Sapphire-mesje voor de incisies in het ontvangende gebied en een donorpunch verkleind tot 0,7 tot 0,85 mm.3 Grotere gevallen beslaan één tot drie sessies van ongeveer 700 tot 3.500 grafts per sessie, waarbij hoek, diepte, richting en breedte van de grafts per patiënt worden gepland om aan te sluiten bij het oorspronkelijke haarpatroon.4 Ingrepen duren 6 tot meer dan 10 uur, onder plaatselijke of "twilight"-verdoving, poliklinisch.4 De dienstenpagina van de kliniek vermeldt ook Long Hair (unshaven) FUE, naast PRP en Propecia op recept.5 De stafpagina beschrijft daarnaast lichaamshaartransplantatie met de borst, oksels of buik als donorgebied voor patiënten met een uitgeput donorgebied op de hoofdhuid, herstel van wenkbrauwen en gezichtshaar, en correctie van eerdere transplantaties.1
Prijzen
De kliniek stelt dat een ingreep meestal $10.000 tot $20.000 kost, afhankelijk van het aantal grafts; complexere gevallen kunnen meer kosten, maar worden als ongebruikelijk omschreven.6 Financiering wordt aangeboden via CareCredit en LendingClub, waaronder een optie met 0% rente voor maximaal 12 maanden of een regeling zonder aanbetaling met termijnen vanaf ongeveer $105 per maand.6
Boeken en nazorg
Consulten zijn gratis, op locatie in het kantoor in Chicago of als volledig virtuele beoordeling van ingestuurde foto's.9 Na de ingreep beschrijft de kliniek een licht verband dat meestal de volgende dag wordt verwijderd, kleine korstjes die na ongeveer 10 tot 14 dagen loslaten, en dat de meeste patiënten de dag erna hun normale activiteiten, zoals werk, hervatten.4

lsknecht1986 had a transplant with Dr Panine in Chicago in July 2021, focused on the front and fading toward the midpoint with the crown left untreated. They report 2,588 grafts (charged for 2,200) and say they paid $13,200, though an earlier post cited $6 per graft for 2,600. Over updates from 6 months to 3.5 years they described a rough recovery with bad swelling and bruising, donor scars that took most of a year to fade, and said the result only looked good from about month 6. They later wrote that the transplant was "life changing", while noting some hairline areas are not perfect and the crown is still a little thin.

They paid $18k at $6 per graft, saying they chose him after meeting other clinics because he measured their head and approved the graft count. They said they loved it and were very happy with the result, with minimal pain and professional staff. At 4 months they were really happy with the hairline, with the crown improving slowly.

They said the team did a good job and characterized the procedure as worth it, while believing technicians/girls did most of it. They also reported pretty bad swelling without pain or pain medication, and found listening to gossip during the procedure annoying.

This user was weighing Dr. Panine against Dr. Nadimi ahead of a planned FUE procedure in 2027, with a consultation with Panine scheduled the same day as their post. They said Panine "is more affordable but I've seen mixed results - some really bad ones too especially when it comes to scarring." They had not yet had surgery with Panine and reported no firsthand results, pricing, or complications of their own.

This user travelled to Chicago for a procedure with Dr. Panine in January 2023; he reported FUE with about 2,600 grafts on the hairline, with no price stated. His only complaint was severe swelling from around day 3 to day 8, which he did not blame on the doctor. Early on he said he was in the ugly duckling stage, and at about 6.5 months he said he was pleased with progress, though the result was still "a bit thin" and expected to thicken.

poomonger88, a man who was 24 with aggressive balding, had a 2,000-graft FUE procedure with Dr. Vladimir Panine in Chicago in November 2020, stating it cost $12,000 ($6 per graft); one early post says $11,500. He called the process pretty relaxing with pain around 2/10 apart from the injections, though he swelled up a lot and was nearly back to normal by day 3. He called Panine a "great doctor", honest and straightforward and conservative so grafts stay available if his hair loss progresses. At nine months he said he was definitely pleased with the result.

In a March 2026 post, ggman1989 recounted an in-person consultation with Dr. Panine while still evaluating surgeons; the office quoted 2500 grafts at $6/graft ($15k–$18k) for slight hairline lowering plus frontal reinforcement, after Panine examined their coarse, curly hair and marked a potential hairline. They had not chosen or undergone surgery with him yet. OP said they 'left feeling very comfortable with Dr Panine as an option' and that he is 'definitely in the running,' while also noting some of his past work 'looks a little pluggy.'
