Dr. Hans Heinicke

Dr Hans Heinicke practices under his own name at Clínica Vía Augusta in Barcelona, with clinics also listed in Madrid and Bilbao 1. The site also lists a branch in Lima, Peru 5. The clinic states he holds a medical degree from Universidad Ricardo Palma in Lima, Peru, homologated in Spain in 2008, and that he has worked exclusively in hair transplantation since 2009 2. The clinic says he has more than 10 years of experience and has performed over 1,500 surgeries 1.

The clinic specializes exclusively in the FUE technique 2. It frames a transplant as redistributing hair from a donor zone to a balding area rather than growing new hair, and says setting realistic expectations is central to candidate selection 3. Listed candidacy factors include age, with patients 18-25 described as not always good candidates because their hair loss is still progressing, and the clinic suggesting this group first be evaluated for medical treatment with finasteride and minoxidil 3. It also cites sex, the degree of contrast between skin and hair color, and how advanced the baldness is as factors: Norwood 6-7 cases should not expect high density, while earlier-grade cases can expect denser results, and strip surgery can move more grafts in a single session than FUE, which needs consecutive or alternate-day sessions 3. On surgery day, the clinic describes marking donor and recipient zones and extracting follicles under local anesthesia with punch tools sized 0.75 to 0.90mm depending on hair diameter, while an assistant counts the units as they are removed and nurses separately prepare and preserve them with magnifying loupes or a stereoscope in a special storage solution 4. After a lunch break, Dr Heinicke implants each graft individually using implanter devices loaded by the nursing staff 4.

The clinic says all consultations are conducted personally by Dr Heinicke rather than delegated to other staff 1. It describes the first meeting as building a close doctor-patient relationship covering medical history, prior treatments and expectations 3. Written post-operative instructions covering aftercare, hair washing and medication are given to patients before they leave on the day of surgery 4.

The clinic lists Dr Heinicke as an ISHRS Physician Member 2. It separately states he is a member of the World FUE Institute (WFI) 1.
