About Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota

Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota Founded in 1982, the Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota (HRI) stands as a pioneering institution in the field of hair restoration. It was established through a unique collaboration between Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeons and Aveda-trained cosmetologists, creating one of America's first truly comprehensive hair restoration clinics. For over four decades, HRI has been dedicated to improving lives and restoring confidence by offering a full spectrum of solutions for hair loss. In 2022, the institute relocated to a new, state-of-the-art facility in Bloomington, Minnesota. This prime location, adjacent to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and the Mall of America, offers both local and international patients exceptional accessibility, complete with on-site hotel accommodations and scenic views of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The clinical team is led by the distinguished Dr. Robert J. Reese, D.O., FISHRS, a nationally and internationally respected hair transplant surgeon who has been performing hair restoration procedures since 1999. Dr. Reese’s extensive credentials include serving as a Past-President of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), where he has contributed to setting the standards for excellence in the field. As a Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), Dr. Reese is recognized for his advanced knowledge and skills in hair transplantation. His commitment to education is evident through his contributions to medical literature, including a chapter in a respected medical textbook on the application of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in hair restoration. Dr. Reese's philosophy centers on the belief that hair restoration is a reconstructive process that makes patients feel whole again, and he is committed to ensuring a comfortable and positive experience for every individual. HRI of Minnesota offers a wide array of advanced techniques to address all types and stages of hair loss. The institute specializes in both Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Utilizing state-of-the-art technologies such as NeoGraft and SmartGraft, HRI ensures minimally invasive procedures that yield natural-looking results. The FUE technique allows for the harvesting of individual hair follicles, resulting in no linear scarring and a quicker recovery time, while FUT may be recommended for specific cases where a larger number of grafts are needed. In addition to surgical options, HRI provides non-surgical treatments including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which utilizes the patient's own growth factors to stimulate hair growth, and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), designed to improve scalp health and enhance the effectiveness of other treatments. This multi-therapeutic approach allows the team to create customized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs, addressing concerns for the scalp, eyebrows, beards, and sideburns. What truly sets the Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota apart is its unwavering commitment to patient care and its comprehensive, unbiased approach. As a locally-owned and veteran-led clinic, it offers a personalized, high-touch experience that larger corporate chains cannot match. HRI's dedication to excellence has not gone unnoticed; it was named Minnesota's Best Hair Restoration Clinic by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The institute prides itself on being a one-stop shop for all proven hair loss solutions, providing discreet, confidential, and professional service. From the initial free, no-obligation consultation to the final result, the team at HRI is passionate about helping patients navigate their hair restoration journey. Their holistic approach fosters a supportive environment where individuals can achieve a renewed sense of confidence, making HRI a leader in the field of hair restoration.
