Hair Transplantation at Moser Medical

A full head of hair - thanks to Austria’s pioneers in beautiful hair

Decades ago, international hair researchers discovered that the hair on the back of the head is genetically programmed to grow for a lifetime. This discovery forms the basis effective hair loss solutions – hair transplants at Moser Medical.

Moser Medical is a pioneer in the transplantation of a patient’s own hair and number one in Europe. Since 1979, our specialists have conducted research and performed procedures in this area. It is important to know that hair roots naturally grow in groups of 1, 2, 3 or 4 hairs. These groups are called follicular units (FUs) or grafts. FUs from the back of the head are programmed to grow throughout our lives. They are therefore taken and transplanted onto bald or thinning areas of the scalp where they continue to grow and form new hair.

Medical consultation

Detailed, personalized consultation is incredibly important. During your initial consultation, our medical consultants will conduct an in-depth analysis of your current hair situation and determine your eligibility for a hair transplant. Then, they will discuss your expectations and goals, and recommend the best hair loss treatment option for you. This consultation typically lasts about one hour and is available at our seven Moser Medical consultation locations throughout Austria (Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck, Dornbirn) – all for free and completely non-binding. 

Exceptional care throughout the entire procedure

On the day of your appointment, you will be warmly welcomed to our hair clinic in Vienna by our service team who will explain the day of your procedure and the course of the next few weeks in detail with you in our comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Before your hair transplant, you will have a thorough consultation with your doctor, at which time the best hairline will be drawn according to your wishes.

Your personally assigned medical assistant will take care of you during your entire procedure (which is performed under local anesthesia). You can sleep, listen to your favorite music on an iPod, or talk with your doctor and medical team. You can help yourself to drinks and snacks and use the restroom at any time.

Procedures with the most modern techniques

At the start of your procedure, the hair roots that are to be transplanted are extracted from the back of the head (=donor area). Depending on the type of procedure, the hair follicles are removed individually (FUE hair transplantation) or all at once as a strip of skin from the donor area (FUT hair transplantation). The Moser Medical advantage is that our patients can choose their preferred extraction method themselves. Please note the differences between the FUE and FUT methods. After the follicles have been extracted, our team of specialist assistants prepares the hair follicles (FUs) in their naturally grown groups using high-resolution microscopes.

Meanwhile, the doctor prepares the recipient site with very small openings (slits, incisions). These are extra small in size to ensure no scarring. Then, the prepared grafts are transplanted onto the pre-determined bald or thinning areas, paying close attention to the direction of hair growth for natural results. Our technical skills, experience, and precision instruments allow us to take into account the direction and structure of the hair, as well as possible whorl during hair implantation. This means we can achieve an especially high density of grafts without having to use an unnecessary amount of hair. At Moser Medical, complete hair transplantation can be done in just a few hours.

What needs to be considered post-transplant?

After your transplant, you will go home the same day with a thin head bandage. We are also happy to provide a hat to cover the bandage. You will receive our BioRegeneration spray solution which has been specially developed by Moser Medical researchers to improve hair growth in the days following your procedure. Spray this nutrient solution every hour during the two days following your treatment.

Patients are generally ready to get back to their everyday lives 3-5 days after transplantation. At this point, there are no visible traces of the hair transplantation procedure. You can exercise and do sports 2 weeks after your procedure. Then all you have to do is be patient and wait for your own new hair to grow.

Wear your hair however you like! 

We invite you to come to our Vienna clinic for an optional follow-up appointment. The result of the hair transplant will be analyzed together with your hair surgeon.

Criteria for transplant using your own hair

Selecting the most suitable method for a natural result that fulfills your wishes depends on the following factors:

  • Type of hair
  • Density of donor hair
  • Size of the recipient site
  • Direction of hair growth
  • Assessment of future hair loss
  • Desire for a natural, thick hair look

At Moser Medical, you can choose the extraction method

Individual extraction (FUE technique)

Hair follicles are removed individually from the donor area with the follicular unit extraction method. Moser Medical is the first provider in Austria to use the innovative hybrid rotation oscillation instrument (“HyRO”), which enables a particularly gentle treatment of the highest quality. This removal technique guarantees the highest possible growth rates, but requires shaving the hair on the back of the head to 1 mm in length.

NEW: Long hair FUE method.  This method allows hair to be extracted hair without shaving. The advantage is clear: there are barely any visible signs of treatment, and you can get back to your everyday life quickly.

Strip extraction (FUT technique)

Used for decades, the follicular unit transplantation method involves extracting the donor hair in an elliptical strip of hair from the back of the head. From this strip, the individual follicles are extracted precisely under microscopes. FUT is also known as the strip extraction method. The procedure for implanting the hair is identical for both FUT and FUE extraction methods.

Your Hair situation

Problem areas and the right solution

A hair transplant can offer the solution for many cosmetic problems, and can be flexible depending on your degree of hair loss, hair appearance and the location of the problem. The following issues and problem areas can be addressed with hair transplantation at Moser Medical, for both women and men:

Does exiting hair need to be shaved prior to the hair transplant?

The need to shave the donor area (back of the head) is primarily determined by the extraction technique chosen. With the FUT technique (“strip method”), a narrow strip is removed from the hairline (extraction site) - only in this small area is the hair cut back to a length of approx. 3 mm. The rest of the hair is not affected. Your hair as a whole is completely unchanged after extraction using the strip technique, as the remaining hair covers this narrow line.

For FUE treatments (“individual hair extraction”), a complete shave of the back of the head is usually necessary, as this improves the quality of the extraction and prevents damage to the extracted hair root units. If desired, Moser Medical patients can also opt for the “partial shave” option. With the new Long-hair method, a hair transplant without shaving is possible.

When will I be able to socialize and work again?

From a medical point of view, you are able to socialize and work again just 24 hours later. However, we recommend that you take it easy for a few days. Many patients prefer to take the day before the treatment and one or two days off afterwards.

In sports, a rest period of around three weeks is required after a hair transplant. Depending on the size of the treated area and the length of the hair, no external signs of the treatment will be visible after just a few days.

What is the best place to have a hair transplant?

It is advisable to have it done by experienced specialists or teams of doctors who are specialists in this area. There are always companies that offer hair transplants under the motto "health trip" (e.g. hair transplant Turkey). Such trips are often stressful, which can also have a negative impact on the healing process. We therefore recommend treatments in Germany or Austria. Moser Medical has been performing hair surgery successfully for 45 years.

Demanding medical treatments require experienced specialists. Specialists in aesthetic and plastic surgery and specially trained medical teams pay careful attention to the highest medical standards and have the know-how to carry out a hair transplant successfully. Moser Medical has performed over 35,000 treatments in this area.

You should consider the following criteria when making your choice:

  • Does the doctor specialize in hair transplants?
  • How many treatments has he performed?
  • Does the doctor offer care/monitoring after the treatment?
  • Get an idea of ​​the clinic and the treatment rooms beforehand: How does the equipment look like? Is hygiene a priority?
Hair transplantation – from what age is it possible?

There is no minimum age for a hair transplant. It is not age, but the individual hair situation that is important.

Caution is advised with young people (under 25 years of age), because the development of hair loss in men in particular is not always foreseeable. The reasons for hair loss must be medically clarified and treated accordingly. If hair loss is hereditary, the specialists at Moser Medical can transplant hair also at a young age. Our medical expert advice provides clarity as to when such a procedure is appropriate.

Does the result of the hair transplant look naturally?

Experiences hair surgeons can achieve absolutly naturally looking results. To do so the Dazu berücksichtigen sie die Haarlinie des Patienten, die Wuchsrichtung der einzelnen Haare und die an verschiedenen Bereichen unterschiedliche Haardichte.To do this, they take into account the patient's hairline, the direction of growth of the individual hairs and the density of the hair at different areas.

The result achieved by the hair transplant looks so natural that in most cases not even one own's hairdresser can detect that a treatment has been performed.

How long does a hair transplant remain visible?

Many people want to know how long the traces of a hair transplant are visible. The experts at Moser Medical ensure that hair transplantation is almost scar-free, but the hair is shortened.

With the FUE technique, the hair on the back of the head is shaved to one millimeter; the partial shave can be easily transformed into a stylish hairstyle, especially for men. In the first few days after the FUE treatment, small, pinpoint micro-scars are visible. A groundbreaking method is the FUE Long Hair method, which means that shaving is not necessary at all.

With the FUT technique (strip method), the hair in the small area of ​​the donor site is shortened to 3 millimeters, but the area is well covered by the rest of the hair and is therefore barely visible. Of course, it is possible that relatives and colleagues will notice the shaved area in the first few weeks after the treatment.

Do scars remain after a hair transplant?

No large scars remain; only point-shaped micro-scars on the back of the head.

The experts at Moser Medical carry out the hair transplant largely without scars. The F.U.E. technique in particular is minimally invasive - so very gentle on the skin and tissue.

The reason is the ultra-modern HyRO device, which has a very fine tip of only 0.8 to 0.9 mm. In contrast to classic FUE devices, this does not rotate on its own axis, but moves in a semicircular oscillation. At the end of the tip there is a rounded curve instead of sharp knives. The instrument penetrates less deeply into the skin when extracting the hair. HyRO thus minimizes the risk of damage to hair root units. Healing is promoted and the formation of small micro-scars is reduced.

Where is the hair taken from for a hair transplant?

Where is the hair taken from for a hair transplant?

During the procedure, the hair surgeons at Moser Medical extract the follicular units to be transplanted from the back of the head (=donor area).

The hair in this area is particularly strong and is naturally designed to usually never fall out. First, the follicular units for hair transplantation are taken from the donor area, then a team of medical assistants prepare the hair root units under high-resolution screen microscopes. From the time of removal to the time of hair transplantation, the follicular units (FUs) are stored in a specially developed nutrient solution. This immunizes against growth disorders. The hair surgeons then prepare the recipient area on the scalp with tiny openings. The follicular units are transplanted and sprayed with a bio-regeneration solution.
