Background

Dr. Geza Sikos leads Sikos Private Clinic in Budapest, Hungary; the clinic states it has operated since 1992 and that Dr. Sikos has over 30 years' experience as a certified plastic surgeon 2. The clinic states Dr. Sikos has worked as a plastic surgeon since 1984 and specializes in hair transplant and hair regeneration 2. Two doctors perform surgeries there: Dr. Sikos and Dr. Csilla Zsuzsanna Szokol, who the clinic says trained under him; having him personally operate costs 30% more than the base surgery fee 2.

Procedures and techniques

Listed services include FUE, FUT (strip), no-shave FUE, hair transplant for women, beard transplant, and medical treatment for hair loss 1. FUE is framed as the clinic's most common method since most patients wear their hair short, while FUT is offered to middle-aged or older patients with longer hair and to women who prefer not to shave 4. Extraction uses what the clinic calls its WAW DUO FUE SYSTEM with Hybrid Tornado Punch needles 3. It describes a 6-8 hour surgery day, with an FUE rate of up to 800-1500 grafts per hour 5. The clinic states it advises against surgery when a patient's expectations don't match achievable results, and generally doesn't recommend transplants for very young patients 3.

Pricing

No fixed prices are published; cost is set after consultation, per the clinic 3. A package includes round-trip airport-to-hotel transfer and discounted clinic-booked hotel rates, and a 10% discount is advertised on shaved FUE surgery 3. The clinic states it offers a "full professional guarantee," with corrective surgery for rare or minor growth deviations under its written agreement 3.

Booking and aftercare

Booking begins with a photo upload within 48 hours, after which the clinic sends a preliminary quote within 2-3 business days, followed by a paid, hour-long consultation required before a surgery date is booked 7. Online consultations run over Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams 6. A no-show affects the paid consultation fee, and the consultation doesn't commit the patient to surgery, per the clinic 7. Aftercare includes a surgical cap worn for one day, then only washing (not scrubbing) the scalp for 5-6 days while crusts release 5.

Credentials and memberships

The clinic states Dr. Sikos became the first Hungarian member of the ISHRS in 1996 and describes him as its "Fellow" certified member (FISHRS), alongside memberships in the World FUE Institute and FUE Europe 2.
