Dr. Nina Otberg

Dr Nina Otberg is a dermatologist who founded Otberg Medical, the Hair Transplant Center Berlin - Potsdam, in 2010 1. The clinic says she specialises in diagnosing hair loss and scalp problems and has worked in hair transplant surgery since 2006 1. Its imprint gives her title as specialist in dermatology and venereology 2. The centre is at Gartenstraße 2 in Berlin-Mitte, Germany 3. It says it is affiliated to the Haut- und Lasercentrum Berlin-Potsdam 1. The team page lists her with several hair transplant assistants and no other doctor 4.

The clinic offers strip harvesting and FUE 5. It says (in German) that the strip wound is closed with a trichophytic closure so hair grows through the scar 5. For FUE the donor area is shaved to about 2 mm, and large FUE sessions are spread over two consecutive days 5. Its FAQ says that, unlike most hair transplant clinics, Dr Otberg places every graft herself 6. It says platelet-rich plasma is applied before the grafts are placed 6. It says transplants can also correct scars and, in some cases, rebuild eyebrows and beards 6. A procedure takes 3 to 10 hours depending on the number of hairs 6.

The FAQ says the cost depends on the number of grafts and ranges from €3,000 to €10,000 6. It gives no graft counts for that range 6.

The clinic offers a first non-binding consultation in its hair clinic 7. The FAQ advises a check-up about two weeks after surgery 6. It says patients can watch films, take breaks and have lunch during the procedure 6.

She is an ISHRS Full Member, and her profile gives 2007 as the year she joined 8. The team page calls her an active ISHRS member and the author of many book chapters and scientific publications 4. The clinic's news page lists her talks at ISHRS, EADV and hair research congresses 9.
