Do you use the motorized punch method or manual for this procedure? Thanks for the answer on punch size. So, for most patients it is .9mm? Do you use smaller sizes then that for the right patient? Again, the work looks great and I hope you post up more results like this. Hi Sean, Thanks for your good comments. The main punch that Dr. Maras use is 0.90mm however he uses smaller or bigger punches when he believes is necessary for the interest of the patient. We are currently using mainly the manual punch and we are currently waiting for the new version of an already tested motorized punch. Regards Alex

Hi Sean, I have attached three more photos that reveal the face a little bit for comparison. He always had curly hair. We usually use 0.90mm punches that of course varies from patient to patient depending on hair characteristics. Warmest Regards Alex BEFORE 4 MONTHS 7 MONTHS

Hi Dutch, FUE – STRIP Combination Surgery, has been available at HDC Hair Clinic for long time, solving forever the problem of multiple procedures. The way this is done is to extract on average 2.500 FUE grafts the first two days and on the third day extract a Strip with an average of 3.000 grafts giving us in total an average of 5.500 grafts. For many patients who are class 3v and over is a good solution so that they can cover both the front and the crown in one visit over a 3 day surgery. Warmest Regards Alex

Dear forum readers, My name is Alex and I am part of the international patient coordinator team of HDC. I was invited to share examples of Dr. Maras work and hair transplant philosophy in consideration for recommendation on the Hair Transplant Network. I coordinate international English speaking patients among with my colleague George and we travel to our central London office for regular free consultations. We provide detail explanation of both techniques (STRIP, FUE) and advice on all the available options a potential hair transplant patient has. HDC hair clinic had begun hair transplant operations in 2003 offering FUE and STRIP procedures. We were among the first to offer the FUE technique in Europe and now almost with 10 years experience. Throughout these years we have achieved numerous excellent results with more than 50 being presented in our website’s result section with detail and clear before and after photos. What really makes us stand apart is our dedication to maintain a unique, highly professional relationship with all our patients. Whether you come from Europe or any other part of the world, the care and attention you will receive will be the personalized to your needs. To all our international patients we offer free airport transfers and accommodation in our clinic’s apartments. We will start presenting the work and results performed by our medical director Dr. Kyriacos Maras and his medical team to the members of this forum to be considered for potential recommendation by this community. You are more than welcomed to comment at our work presented and share your thoughts with the rest of this community. I have included some photos of our facility, our team and of Dr. Maras during surgery.
