Product Description

Dr. José Lorenzo graduated from Madrid’s Complutense University in 1991 and completed his specialization in General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery at the Carlos G. Duran General Hospital (UBA, Bs. As.). He worked in these specialized areas until 2002 when he transitioned into the field of hair restoration. In 2003, during a visit to the DHI clinic in Athens, he observed the first hair transplants using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method, which had been described just a year earlier by Dr. Rassman and Dr. Bernstein. Impressed by the skill and potential of this minimally invasive technique, Dr. Lorenzo dedicated himself to mastering and advancing FUE, which was still in its early stages.

As a pioneer of the FUE technique in Spain, Dr. Lorenzo first served as Chief Surgeon at the Ceta Clinic before founding his own clinic, Medilor, in Alcobendas, Madrid, in 2008. He has been instrumental in developing the FUE technique, conducting studies similar to those of early FUE pioneers such as Dr. Cole, Dr. Woods, Dr. Jones, Dr. Feller, and the DHI clinic. Dr. Lorenzo has been an active member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) since 2006, contributing through presentations, live procedure demonstrations, and workshops. His notable first presentation at the 2007 ISHRS congress in Las Vegas focused on the anchoring system connecting follicular units to surrounding tissues and its application in FUE. Dr. Lorenzo continues to be a prominent figure in global FUE workshops, sharing his expertise in live operations and educational sessions across various international venues.
