FUE
HAIR TRANSPLANT
in GREECE

While having someone accompany you is a pleasant option, it is not obligatory. Several hotels are conveniently located just a few minutes away from our facility, and our clinics can easily arrange transportation for you if needed.

After the surgery, you might experience some drowsiness, and a few hours of recovery time can be beneficial. You can choose to either go back to your hotel or stay in one of our recovery rooms for a few hours. This gives you the opportunity to unwind, and you can even enjoy a meal, be it lunch or dinner.

Post-procedure follow-up remains equally effective even if the patient is not in the vicinity where the procedure was conducted. Subsequent steps for out-of-state patients mirror those for local patients, and being outside the area doesn’t pose any disadvantage.

No, there are no negative consequences associated with flying after your procedure.

Certainly. Our surgeons have extensive experience in conducting hair transplants for numerous patients who have traveled for procedures. In fact, a significant number of our patients come from different regions and countries. The hair transplant procedure is well-suited for a fly-in/fly-out approach, boasting an extremely low incidence rate of complications and straightforward post-procedure care.

Athens is an excellent, accessible, and safe location. Patients from the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia do not require a visa. The city boasts a wonderful climate, unique cultural heritage sites, and amazing food. You can combine your hair transplant with a fantastic holiday experience.

We guarantee to replace any non-growing hair transplant follicular units at no extra cost. A trichoscopy is conducted 12 months after the procedure to count and assess the growth of the transplanted hair. If, by chance, some follicular units do not regrow (excluding a small, normal, and acceptable deviation of 5%), a complimentary FUE hair transplant will be performed.

Yes, the results of the hair transplant are permanent. The new hair will maintain the same texture, color, and characteristics. Therefore, when the hair in the donor area turns white, the hair in the recipient area will also become white.

Our Trichoscopically Controlled FUE method ensures 100% natural results and a lifetime of growth. Our instruments guarantee the correct angle and direction of transplanted hair follicles, perfectly aligning with your natural hair growth. We achieve an excellent temple angle closure, resulting in completely undetectable, natural outcomes.

The majority of patients typically notice substantial hair growth and significantly improved coverage within 6 to 12 months after the procedure. Final results, showcasing the full growth of the transplanted hair, become apparent at around 12 to 18 months.

No, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive technique where hair follicles are individually extracted from the back of the head using specific microscopic tools. Unlike Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT or the ‘strip’ technique), which involves removing a strip of donor tissue and results in a linear scar, the FUE method leaves no permanent and noticeable scar in the donor area.

No, it is possible to remove up to 40% of donor hair without causing any visible thinning. This percentage corresponds to an average of about 6,000-7,000 hair follicles, approximately 12,000-14,000 hairs.

The FUE procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Some people liken the experience to visiting the dentist, though the truth is that the scalp is less sensitive than the mouth cavity. There is no pain during the procedure, only some discomfort when we administer local anesthesia to the donor and recipient areas.

The treatment duration varies between 4-7 hours, depending on the number of grafts transplanted. If you have advanced hair loss, sufficient donor area, or require dense packing, we can continue with a second day of treatment. This option is suitable if you prefer completing the hair transplant procedure in a single session, achieving the desired result in a shorter timeframe.

The FUE procedure does not necessitate any hospitalization or overnight stays. You will be ready to leave the clinic shortly after the hair transplant.

Both the donor and recipient areas typically heal within 5-7 days. After the session, you can expect to see crusting and scabbing around the treated area for 7 to 10 days, accompanied by some redness resembling a sunburn. You will be able to resume your normal daily activities almost immediately.

Upon completion of the procedure, the team provides you with post-operative instructions and medications. A saline water spray will also be provided to you. You can wash the donor area the following day, and from the 3rd day, you can gently wash all your hair. Everyday shampooing is necessary to keep your hair and scalp clean, aiding in the healing process and promoting hair growth.

No, you will be able to treat the new hair normally, just as you did before. This means you can wash it, brush it, dye it, and style it as you wish.
