Dr. Kyriakos Maras
Medical Director·HDC Hair Clinic (HDC Hair Transplant Centre)
Cyprus
€2.30–€2.80 ≈ €6,900–8,400 rough estimate for 3,000 grafts Per graft · Cost detailsBackground
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began his career performing both strip (FUT) and FUE but has focused exclusively on FUE since 2017, describing strip as outdated 1.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 reservation fee, which goes towards the total balance and is not refunded but can be used 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.

Smart_Consequence579, a 46-year-old man with Norwood 3V hair loss, had 2,961 grafts (about 1,180 crown, 1,780 front) via FUE with Dr Maras at HDC in Cyprus in September 2024, with accommodation and daily checkups included. He said Maras advised against lowering the hairline, called him an "artist", and quoted a rate of 2.2-2.6 per graft without giving a total. At 14 months he was happy and said the result looks super natural, but wished he had insisted on a hairline 1 cm lower and planned to return to HDC in January to lower it.

Doron-HDC says he was severely botched by Arenamed in Turkey in 2018 and then had three repair procedures at HDC Hair Clinic in Cyprus by Dr. Maras and Dr. Christina, the first in 2019 at 2.5 EUR per graft. The third repair, in October 2023, totalled 1,446 grafts in one day, with Dr. Maras making the recipient slits. He describes the repairs as 'my resurrection' and the small sessions as preserving his donor with great results. Note that he says he became HDC's international coordinator after his first repair, so he is not an independent patient.

ThinPie7866 had work at HDC by both Dr Maras and two other surgeons, and within a week reported that the parts Maras worked on looked butchered, bright red and scabbed, with a severely depleted donor area. They say he was rougher when punching and believe he repeatedly punched overlapping lines near the sideburn, which is now completely bald and may need a mini transplant. They said the other surgeons' work looked as if they had not had a transplant within a week, and they otherwise liked HDC and most staff. Their advice, twice, was to avoid Dr Maras. Graft count, price and surgery date are not stated.
