Dr. Lena Hampel studied at the Medical University of Vienna with subsequent residency training in skin and venereal diseases in Austria and Germany. From 2016 Dr. Lena Hampel specialized in dermatosurgery, reconstruction of surgical defects with flaps and grafts and further in Mohs surgery which she learned in the USA and Australia. Dr. Lena Hampel is internationally oriented and has professional experience and medical professional licenses in Austria, Germany, Spain and Switzerland.

After practicing in Austria, she lived in Switzerland for 4 years and worked as a senior dermatologist in two Swiss hospitals. 2022 until 2023 she ran her own dermatology and dermatosurgery private practice in Palma de Mallorca, Spain where she performed Mohs surgeries.

As the first Austrian Mohs surgeon, she brought the international gold standard for white skin cancer in the face and cosmetically relevant regions to Austria and founded the Medical Center for Skin Cancer and Mohs Surgery in Vienna in 2023. This tissue-saving technique not only results in the smallest possible surgical defects but through the 100% margin control is also superior to conventional dermatosurgery in terms of healing rates. The surgeries usually take place in an outpatient setting and are performed by Dr. Lena Hampel at the Wiener Privatklinik.
