Solve Clinics

What Solve Clinics does

Solve Clinics is a private, Chicago-based medical clinic founded in 2017 by Andrew Kashian and Mark Johnsen that specializes in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation, supported by a broad portfolio of aesthetic, injectable, laser, and sexual health services. The core procedure is the FUE Direct hair transplant, which uses 0.7–1.0mm microscopic rotating blade tools to individually extract and implant DHT-resistant donor follicles, performed under board-certified physician oversight (Medical Director Dr. Stephen Kashian) with a lead restoration provider (John Wike, PA-C, MMS) and team-based care of approximately seven medical staffers per patient. The clinic serves individual consumers across multiple segments: men with androgenetic alopecia (its primary demographic), women with pattern hair loss, transgender patients seeking gender-affirming restoration, and patients seeking non-surgical aesthetic rejuvenation, weight loss, or ED treatment (P-Shot, P-Wave).

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model built around free in-person or virtual consultations, a self-serve online booking platform (book.solveclinics.com), transparent all-inclusive pricing at $5 per graft (or $6 for the no-shave option), and a national travel program bundling transportation and housing into the procedure price for out-of-state patients. Average transplant price ($8,000–$10,000) is positioned well below the $15,000–$30,000 national average, with financing and payment plans supporting conversion. Recurring revenue is generated through PRP/PRF hair treatment packages, neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Jeuveau at $8–$9/unit first-time), dermal fillers, Sculptra, laser skin treatments, and a medical weight loss program. Distribution is anchored by two operational clinics (River North downtown Chicago and North Shore/Skokie), with a third Midtown Manhattan location in development, plus a sister brand (Solve MedSpa) handling non-transplant aesthetics and a SolveRx subsidiary for prescription hair loss medications. Marketing is multi-channel (SEO, paid search/social, Klaviyo email, content/PR, referral word-of-mouth), supported by earned media in Forbes, Authority Magazine, Modern Luxury, Entrepreneur, and InStyle. The company is founder-owned with no institutional funding disclosed.

Direct peers

• Restoration Robotics (ARTAS): Robotic FUE hair transplant provider. Comparable on the core FUE transplant procedure and customer segment, but differentiates on robotic technology versus Solve's manual FUE Direct technique.
• Bosley: Largest US hair restoration brand offering FUE and FUT transplants across multiple markets. Directly comparable to Solve Clinics on procedure type (hair transplantation) and target customer (men with pattern hair loss), though Bosley operates at national scale and a higher price point.
• HairClub: Long-standing hair restoration and replacement provider with multi-location US footprint. Comparable to Solve Clinics on core service offering (FUE/transplants, PRP) and customer base, though HairClub's model includes ongoing maintenance programs and non-surgical solutions.
• Ziering Medical: Multi-location hair transplant clinic offering FUE and FUT procedures. Closely comparable to Solve Clinics on procedure type, physician-led model, and celebrity-driven brand positioning.
• MAXIM Hair Restoration: Multi-location hair restoration clinic offering FUE transplants and PRP therapy. Comparable to Solve Clinics on service mix (transplants plus PRP) and per-graft pricing model.

Emerging players

• Hims & Hers Health: DTC telehealth platform selling hair loss treatments (finasteride, minoxidil), ED medications, and weight loss. Partial overlap with Solve Clinics' SolveRx, weight loss, and P-Shot/P-Wave offerings, and a meaningful indirect competitor for hair loss patients seeking non-procedural options.
• Keeps: DTC subscription service for hair loss treatments (finasteride, minoxidil). Comparable to Solve Clinics' SolveRx prescription arm and a competitor for early-stage hair loss patients who might otherwise progress to transplant candidacy.

Broad incumbents

• Ideal Image: Largest US med-spa chain offering injectables, laser hair removal, body contouring, and skin rejuvenation. Comparable on the aesthetics service portfolio (Botox, fillers, lasers, skin tightening) rather than the hair transplant core.
• LaserAway: National med-spa chain focused on laser hair removal, skin treatments, and injectables. Comparable to Solve Clinics' Solve MedSpa sister brand on service mix and DTC aesthetic consumer base.

Regional players

• Vinci Hair Clinic: International hair restoration clinic with presence across Europe and other markets. Comparable to Solve Clinics on FUE technique and patient base, though primarily serves non-US geographies and overlaps via medical tourism flows.
