Hair Transplant

Αρχική / Hair Transplant
by Dr Nikolaos Maltzaris​

Hair transplantation is currently a popular aesthetic treatment and concerns men and women, restoring androgenetic and post-traumatic alopecia in the scalp and eyebrows with the aim of achieving a natural result with the maximum possible density, uniform and complete coverage of the scalp.

It is performed in the doctor’s office with local anesthesia.

Strip Micro-Strip (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

The hair follicles are harvested through a surgical incision and a strip of hair is removed from the back and side of the head (high density occipital and temporal areas) and then, under magnification, the hair grafts are separated and transplanted into the recipient area.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

With the FUE method, each hair follicle is taken individually and scattered with a special cylindrical cutting tool of small diameter, approximately 0.1 mm, from different areas of the scalp and is then transplanted into the recipient area.

The result of hair transplantation is evaluated in hair follicles and not in hairs as hair follicles can be single, double, triple or quadruple. The final number of hair follicles to be transferred is determined by the donor area (hair density) and the chosen transplantation method. Up to 3000 hair follicles, approximately 9000 hairs, can be transferred per session.

The new hair follicles take up residence in their new location within a few days and shed their hair, and within a few weeks the new hairs grow back normally.
