Background
Dr. Kyriakos Maras is Medical Director at HDC Hair Clinic in Nicosia, Cyprus, one of three doctors on its medical team 3. Per the clinic, he began his career performing both strip (FUT) and FUE but has focused exclusively on FUE since 2017, describing strip as outdated 1. About 80% of HDC's patients travel from abroad, per the clinic 2.
Procedures and techniques
HDC describes a specific division of labour: the assigned doctor runs the pre-op consultation, designs the hairline, and personally performs the FUE "punching" (incisions around each follicular unit) plus the recipient-site incisions that set density and angulation; technicians extract grafts only after punching is done, sort them under microscopes, and assist with implantation to the doctor's design 3. The clinic says his technique emphasizes low-trauma extraction, even donor distribution, and correct angulation 1. It lists mega sessions of 3,500-5,000 grafts over two days and giga sessions of 5,500-7,000 grafts over two to three days, with planning figures of 8,000-12,000 scalp grafts plus up to 2,000 beard grafts for high Norwood-scale patients 1.
Pricing
HDC's listed price is €2.30 per graft, rising to €2.80 per graft for depleted donors, previous strip patients, grey hair, higher-difficulty cases, or small sessions; surgery at this price may be performed by Dr Maras or by Dr Christina 2. The price includes a post-operation kit, four days of post-operation care, and for overseas patients airport transfers plus accommodation for up to six nights 2. Scheduling requires a €1,500 deposit, described as non-refundable but usable toward rescheduling, with a full refund or free rescheduling if the clinic itself cancels 2.
Booking and aftercare
HDC offers a free online case evaluation form; it says patient coordinators together with its doctors reply with an in-depth study and diagnosis, and invites photos by separate email for a fuller recommendation 4. Once a case proceeds, the assigned doctor handles the in-person consultation and hairline design, while the technical team delivers post-operative guidance on washing, scab management, and topical healing solutions 3.
Credentials and memberships
The clinic lists Dr. Maras as a member of the Cyprus Medical Association and the FUE Europe Society 1.
