Dr. Laura Muresanu is a hair restoration surgeon and co-founder of Hattingen Hair Clinic, a boutique hair transplant clinic based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Alongside Dr. Sever Muresanu, she has helped establish Hattingen Hair Clinic as one of Europe’s respected destinations for advanced FUT and FUE hair transplant surgery.
Dr. Laura has been involved in hair restoration throughout her adult life. She and Dr. Sever Muresanu met in college, later married, and both went on to graduate from medical school. After completing their medical training, they worked in various clinics throughout Europe to build their knowledge and experience in hair restoration surgery.
Their journey eventually led them to start their own clinic, first in Spain, then in Hattingen, Germany, before relocating to Switzerland in 2009.
A Founder of Hattingen Hair Clinic
Hattingen Hair Clinic was originally founded in Hattingen, Germany, which is where the clinic gets its name. The clinic later moved to Schaffhausen, Switzerland, where it continues to operate today.
Dr. Laura Muresanu plays an important role in the clinic’s surgical approach, patient care standards, and commitment to natural-looking results. Together with Dr. Sever, she has helped maintain Hattingen Hair Clinic’s reputation as a focused, doctor-led practice rather than a high-volume hair transplant center.
Experience in FUT and FUE Hair Transplant Surgery
Dr. Laura Muresanu is experienced in both FUT and FUE hair transplant procedures.
Hattingen Hair Clinic became known for performing large FUT hair transplant sessions at a time when megasessions were rare in Europe. While many clinics moved away from strip surgery and focused almost entirely on FUE, Dr. Laura and Dr. Sever continued to support FUT when it made sense for the patient’s long-term donor management and hair restoration goals.
The clinic began formally offering FUE in 2009, after Dr. Laura and Dr. Sever felt the technique had become consistent enough to meet their quality standards.
Doctor-Led Hair Restoration
One of the defining features of Dr. Laura Muresanu’s work is her commitment to a doctor-led surgical model.
At Hattingen Hair Clinic, Dr. Laura and Dr. Sever are directly involved in the surgical process. For FUT procedures, they remove the donor strip, while trained technicians carefully dissect the tissue into healthy follicular units using stereoscopic microscopes.
This careful graft preparation is important for creating a natural-looking result. Single-hair grafts are selected for the hairline, while larger grafts are placed in areas where more density is needed.
A Patient-First Philosophy
Dr. Laura Muresanu and the team at Hattingen Hair Clinic emphasize education, patience, and realistic expectations.
Rather than rushing patients into surgery, the clinic encourages people to understand their options and consider non-surgical hair restoration treatments first when appropriate. Surgery is treated as a serious decision and often as a last resort, not the first step.
This careful, conservative approach is especially important for patients with progressive hair loss, where long-term planning matters just as much as the first procedure.
