Restoring Confidence, One Strand at a Time — Algonquin, IL
DSI Hair was founded by Dr. Vikram "Vic" Khanna as the dedicated hair restoration division of Dermatology Specialists of Illinois. What began as a dermatology practice driven by precision and clinical excellence has grown into one of the Fox Valley's most trusted destinations for medical and surgical hair loss treatment.
With a primary clinic in Algonquin and consultation offices in Barrington, Huntley, and Woodstock, DSI Hair brings board-certified dermatologic expertise to patients throughout the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Our approach combines advanced technology — including the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant system — with the kind of individualized care that only comes from decades of clinical experience.
Every treatment plan at DSI Hair is built on a thorough diagnostic evaluation, because effective hair loss treatment starts with understanding the underlying cause. Whether you're exploring PRP hair restoration, finasteride, or a full hair transplant, our team develops a strategy tailored to your hair loss pattern, goals, and lifestyle.
Our mission at DSI Hair is to provide every patient with an accurate diagnosis, a transparent treatment plan, and results that restore both hair and confidence. Hair loss is deeply personal, and we believe every patient deserves a provider who combines technical mastery with genuine compassion.
Dr. Khanna's philosophy of "precision and attention to detail" guides everything we do — from the initial scalp analysis to the final follow-up appointment. As a Clinical Instructor at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois, Dr. Khanna stays at the forefront of dermatologic research, ensuring DSI Hair patients benefit from the latest evidence-based treatments.
We are committed to offering the full spectrum of hair restoration solutions, from non-surgical medical therapies like minoxidil and laser cap therapy to advanced surgical techniques including FUE and FUT hair transplants. This comprehensive approach means we can match the right treatment to every stage and type of hair loss.
Five core values that define our approach to hair restoration in Algonquin, IL
Every graft placement, every diagnostic evaluation, and every treatment plan is executed with meticulous attention to detail. Dr. Khanna's surgical precision ensures natural hairline design and optimal density.
DSI Hair invests in the most advanced hair restoration technology available, including the ARTAS Robotic system for follicular unit extraction. We continuously adopt evidence-based advancements to improve patient outcomes.
Hair loss carries significant emotional weight. Our team approaches every consultation with empathy, creating a judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, informed, and supported throughout their restoration journey.
With two board-certified dermatologists, academic appointments at Northwestern and the University of Illinois, and decades of combined clinical experience, DSI Hair offers a depth of knowledge that general practitioners simply cannot match.
We measure success by what our patients see in the mirror. From the 900+ five-star Google reviews to the natural-looking outcomes we deliver daily, results are the ultimate proof of our commitment to excellence.
Every consultation begins with an honest assessment and a clear treatment plan. We believe patients deserve upfront answers about expected results, timelines, and costs — so there are never any surprises on your restoration journey.
