Dr. Conradin von Albertini

Dr Conradin von Albertini runs a hair transplant clinic at Am Schanzengraben 29 in Zurich, Switzerland 1. The clinic's site (in German) says he has worked as a hair surgeon since 2005 2. It says he has performed every hair transplant at the clinic himself since 2005 3. It says he advises patients personally and carries out all surgical steps himself 2.

The clinic offers FUE only, with a full shave, a partial shave or no shave, plus scalp scar corrections and non-surgical treatment of hereditary hair loss 4. It says he extracts the grafts and also implants them, while his team counts and checks the grafts in Petri dishes 5. It says he places single-hair grafts along the hairline and plans at least 35 to 40 grafts per square centimetre behind it 5. Its FAQ says he can transplant up to 3,000 grafts within 9 hours, but most patients need fewer 6. It says about 1,500 to 2,500 grafts are enough in about 90% of cases 6. It warns that FUE sessions of 3,500 or more grafts can cause lifelong damage 6. It says he may advise against a transplant, or advise waiting and stabilising hair loss first 7.

The clinic lists FUE with a full shave at CHF 5.00 per graft and FUE with a partial shave from CHF 5.50 per graft 4. It says unshaven FUE and scar corrections are priced by arrangement 4. It says the price includes the consultation and planning by the doctor, the transplant by the doctor, aftercare and two follow-up checks 4. It says the exact number of grafts is calculated at the consultation 4. At CHF 5.00 per graft, 3,000 grafts would come to CHF 15,000 by our arithmetic; the clinic publishes no such total 4.

The clinic offers a free, non-binding consultation with Dr von Albertini himself 8. It says the consultation takes place at the Zurich clinic and lasts up to an hour 7. It says the procedure usually runs from 8:00 to about 17:00 under local anaesthesia, and patients go home in the late afternoon 6. It says follow-up checks take place after two weeks and after one year 9.

The clinic says he passed the ABHRS examination 2. It says he is an ISHRS Fellow and a co-founder of the Swiss Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (SSHRS) 2. It says he is regularly invited as faculty and live-surgery instructor at congresses 10. Registry records list him as an ABHRS diplomate and an ISHRS Fellow Member at the Am Schanzengraben address 1112.
