About Dr. Moshfegh
A Southern California native, Dr. Moshfegh began his medical education at UC Berkeley, where he graduated with honors with a bachelor's degree in molecular and cellular biology. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from New York Medical College.
His postgraduate training included an internship and radiology residency at the UCLA Kaiser Permanente Center, a mini-fellowship in interventional radiology, and fellowship training in vascular and interventional radiology at Cornell–NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Dr. Moshfegh later founded ReGrow Medical to focus on individualized hair-restoration care, applying principles of careful tissue handling, instrument control, and patient-specific planning from his minimally invasive procedural background.
Experience applied to hair restoration
How His Minimally Invasive Background Informs His FUE Approach
More than 16 years performing minimally invasive procedures have shaped Dr. Moshfegh's approach to tissue handling, instrumentation, and precise, controlled movements. He applies those principles to FUE hair transplantation: carefully harvesting individual follicular units, handling grafts thoughtfully, and planning around the donor tissue that remains.
Careful tissue handling
His approach emphasizes controlled movements and gentle graft handling to limit unnecessary tissue trauma. The aim is to protect each follicular unit through harvesting, preparation, and placement.
Individual instrument selection
Hair characteristics and scalp anatomy guide the selection of appropriately sized instruments. At ReGrow Medical, handheld micro-punch instruments typically measure 0.7–0.9 mm; the choice is tailored to the case rather than assuming the smallest punch is always best.
Real-time adjustment
Direct visualization and hands-on instrument control allow the technique to be adjusted as hair direction and tissue characteristics change. Dr. Moshfegh values that flexibility when developing and guiding the surgical plan.
Long-term donor planning
He considers the distribution of existing hair, donor availability, and possible future loss—not just the number of grafts moved in one session. Preserving the remaining donor area is part of planning for the patient's long-term goals.
Why He Chooses a Physician-Guided, Hands-On Approach
Dr. Moshfegh has hands-on experience with robotic-assisted hair-restoration technologies and has spent years evaluating different FUE approaches. For his practice at ReGrow Medical, he favors handheld instrument control and the ability to adjust technique to each patient's follicles and anatomy.
That preference is about how he works, not a claim that every robotic system is less precise. Manual, handheld motorized, and robotic-assisted FUE are different tools for a physician-led procedure. Patient selection, instrument use, graft handling, and the treatment plan all matter; the device alone does not determine the result.
A Trained Team, Working From One Clinical Plan
ReGrow Medical's team brings more than 20 years of combined hair-restoration experience. This is a combined team figure, separate from Dr. Moshfegh's own experience. He has developed an internal training curriculum based on the techniques and principles he has refined through study and clinical practice.
Training emphasizes careful graft handling, strategic harvesting, donor-area preservation, and placement guided by the intended hair direction and design. Team members work within their respective roles and qualifications, following the physician-led plan rather than treating each stage as a separate task.
The procedure should be designed around the patient—not around the technology.
His goal is personalized, natural-looking hair restoration that respects each patient's donor supply, existing hair, and long-term priorities. The appropriate plan and expected results depend on an individual assessment.

More Than a Decade of Hair-Restoration Study and Practice
Dr. Moshfegh's work in hair restoration includes FUE scalp hair transplantation, hairline planning, donor-area assessment, and eyebrow and beard restoration. An individual evaluation is used to determine what is medically appropriate and realistically achievable rather than fitting every patient into the same graft number or procedure.
What a Hair-Restoration Evaluation Considers
- Hair-loss pattern: The pattern, timing, medical history, and whether another type of evaluation is needed.
- Donor area: Donor density, hair characteristics, scalp health, and preservation for possible future loss.
- Priorities: Hairline position, coverage, density, graft distribution, and long-term goals.
- Individual candidacy: A photograph or online estimate cannot confirm candidacy or a surgical plan.
