Background

Tsvetalin Zarev is the eponymous surgeon at ZAREV Clinic in Sofia, Bulgaria 1. The clinic states he graduated from Medical University, Sofia, and works in cosmetic plastic surgery, active in hair, eyebrow and eyelash transplantation for the last 12 years as of the site's writing 1. It states he has used all FUE technique variants and, over the last 9 years, has developed what the clinic calls AVA FUE, an Automatic Vacuum-Assisted Follicular Unit Extraction technique 1. No graduation year or professional memberships are published on the clinic's site.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic's menu lists AVA FUE, manual FUE, motorized FUE and STRIP (FUT) as its techniques, alongside eyebrow transplantation, PRP, mesotherapy and medical treatment 2. It describes a "strictly individual approach to each patient" and says it calculates the exact grafts needed using a microcamera study combined with mathematical calculation 3. The clinic states its method can extract up to 60% of a patient's healthy donor hair, with 95-98% of micrografts taking root and calculated density achieved in a single stage 3. It also states the technique can effectively extract healthy hair from any location on the body 3. On volume, the clinic says it can transplant up to 3,000 micrografts (7,000-9,000 hairs) in a single day, or up to 6,000 micrografts (14,000-18,000 hairs) across two consecutive days, and its own site gallery is titled around single sessions of up to 14,000 grafts 3.

Pricing

Per-graft pricing is quoted at €11 for patients with no previous transplant or returning Zarev Clinic patients, and €15 for patients previously transplanted at another clinic 4. As of the site's writing, booking a standard, on-schedule consultation is temporarily suspended; only an off-schedule consultation is available, priced at €1,100 (no previous transplant) or €1,500 (previous transplant elsewhere), a fee bound to the corresponding per-graft surgery price 4. Other published prices include PRP therapy at €250 per procedure and eyebrow transplantation at €5,000-9,000 4.

Booking and aftercare
