Background
Dr. Lupanzula's medical career began in acute emergency and general practice medicine before he moved into hair restoration 1. He runs Medikemos Clinic in Brussels and also consults at partner institutions in the UK, France and Spain 1. He is fluent in English, French and Spanish, with translation available on request 1. Stated experience varies by page: one cites over 10 years 5. Another cites over 15 2.
Procedures and techniques
The clinic operates a "doctor only" model in which Dr. Lupanzula personally performs extraction using a manual knife cylinder punch of 0.8 to 0.9 mm 4. It states he does not delegate surgical steps to non-medically trained technicians or assistants 5. Technicians then prepare and inspect the extracted grafts before they are placed into recipient sites 4. The clinic markets this approach as the Emorane Extraction Technique (EET) 2. Beyond FUE, it lists FUT (strip), body hair transplantation, scar revision, beard transplantation, plug removal and tricopigmentation among its procedures 1.
Pricing
Booking and aftercare
Patients can reach the clinic by phone (separate lines for Belgium, the UK and Italy) or WhatsApp 1. The clinic states it offers no guarantee of regrowth, saying clinics that promise one "are not being completely honest," while citing typically under 5% graft failure and no fully failed case in over a decade 3. Should regrowth fall short, it says it will assess the case and propose an action plan, adding this has not occurred 3. Aftercare monitoring is largely remote: patients are asked to send photographs every three months so the clinic can track healing 3. It also recommends Biotin and MSM supplements, saying Dr. Lupanzula reviews the pros and cons with each patient in person before advising their use 3.
Credentials and memberships
Dr. Lupanzula lists membership in the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (IAHRS) and the American Hair Loss Association (AHLA), and says he is a founding member and current president of the World FUE Institute 1. He is also listed as registered with medical bodies in Belgium, France, the UK and Spain 1.
