Innovation in hair transplant planning using artificial intelligence
At Advanced Hair Clinics we are pioneers not only in the execution, but also in the planning of hair transplantation, giving you the ability to see the growth of your transplanted hair and predict your final image.
Why we chose the Force HT artificial intelligence application:
- Better Understanding: It helps the patient understand the process and have insight into the expected outcome.
- Optimal Graft Distribution: Ensures the best use of available hair follicles for natural density.
- Long-term preservation: Protects the recipient area from thinning and ensures donor utilization for future needs.
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Direct graft placement with Sharp Implanter
One reason Advanced Hair Clinics excels on both a European and international level is our use of high-precision medical instruments, such as the Sharp Implanter. This tool is chosen for its unparalleled precision during the crucial hair follicle implantation stage. Here’s why we prefer it:
- Its exceptionally thin tip, with a diameter of less than 1 mm, allows for absolute precision during implantation
- The Sharp Implanter’s design ensures that hair follicles are not damaged during the procedure, preserving their viability and maximizing growth potential
- With the Sharp Implanter, we can place the grafts in the direction of the natural hair growth and at the desired implantation angle This ensures a maximum natural result and the desired density while causing the least possible injury to the scalp
- The minimally invasive nature of the Sharp Implanter significantly reduces the likelihood of post-procedure swelling, leading to a faster and more comfortable recovery
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Hair transplantation exclusively by doctors
At Advanced Hair Clinics, hair transplantation is a very serious matter that only concerns doctors. The head of the medical team of Advanced Hair Clinics is the Plastic Surgeon Dr. Anastasios Vekris, with experience in thousands of FUE hair transplant procedures in Greece and in many foreign countries (USA, Great Britain, France, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, India, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait). Dr. Anastasios Vekris is one of the few Greek physicians who is a regular member of ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery) and is invited every year to the world hair transplantation conferences to train physicians from all over the globe in the new methods of Follicular Unit Excision.
Dr Vekris is one of the world’s leading physicians specialising in FUE hair transplantation. He has many years of experience in this technique and has personally trained Advanced Hair Clinics medical team members, as well as dozens of other physicians and their team members in numerous countries abroad. All transplantation procedures involving the transfer of individual hair follicles are performed by his team and under his supervision, which guarantees 100% success and a completely natural result.

Option to extract body & face hair grafts
We are likely the only clinic in Greece where our doctors have successfully applied the technique of extracting body and facial hair grafts in cases of poor donor areas. This innovative technique provides a solution for people who wish to have hair transplantation but lack sufficient donor hair on their scalp.
It is a highly specialised and demanding technique, and consequently, it is performed in only a few clinics by very experienced medical teams, such as those at Advanced Hair Clinics.
When hair follicles from areas other than the scalp are chosen, their selection is done with utmost care, and the plan is adjusted accordingly with hairline design and hair follicle distribution to create a better coverage effect. The result is a satisfactory enhancement in density and hair growth, even in cases where other medical teams would fail.
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
“Smart” surgical planning using Artificial Intelligence
The use of cutting-edge technology powered by Artificial Intelligence ensures the success of every hair transplantation performed in our clinics. This technology enables us to:
- Achieve precision design for a natural-looking hairline
- Maximize the utilization of available grafts, ensuring optimal coverage
- Preserve grafts for potential future hair transplants
- Deliver consistently successful and natural-looking results
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Hairline design: asymmetrically symmetrical placement
The hairline design makes the difference between a successful, “invisible” hair transplant and one with a fake, unnatural result. Our medical teams, led by the internationally renowned plastic surgeon Dr Anastasios Vekris, redesign the natural hairline and its characteristics, personalising the result by:
- Creating asymmetrical symmetry in graft placement with a “jagged” line along the entire length of the hairline
- Taking into account the shape of the patient’s face, gender, age and ethnicity
- Considering the quality of the hair, the degree of hair loss and the potential of the donor area
- Accounting for the natural regression of the hairline over time to ensure a natural result in the long term
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Natural result: Personalized design based on age, face shape and other factors
The planning of hair follicle transfer to the recipient area is based on a careful assessment of age, face shape, gender, race, the number of grafts available and the patient’s expectations.
How we achieve the absolutely natural result:
- atraumatic hair follicle placement
- we follow the pattern of natural hair growth
- the single and double hair follicles are implanted in the hairline for a natural-looking effect
- multi hair follicles are implanted towards the centre of the scalp increasing and enhancing the existing hairline
- the implantation pattern follows the “forest” philosophy, with thinner “trees” in the front and denser in the back
- age and gender of the patient play a role in the design
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Hairline design: the rule of 3/3
The three-thirds rule expresses the ideal face, which should have equal proportions of:
- The centre of the hairline to the glabella
- From the midline to the base of the nose
- From the base of the nose to the centre of the chin
The lowest point of the new hairline should be higher than or at the same level as the centre of the natural hairline of the forehead, but never lower.
Other ways to design the hairline include following the line of existing hair or placing it at a distance of about 7-9 centimetres from the centre of the glabella.
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Hairline design: appropriate hair shape and appropriate distance from the eyes
The decision to design a natural hairline involves many measurements and conditions, such as the following:
- The center of the hairline should be approximately 7-8 cm from the glabella
- The point where the implantation begins in the temple recesses should be 0.5-1 centimeter higher than the center of the forehead hairline, and the hairline should slightly extend downwards beyond this line
- In a natural hairline, the lines of the temples are clearly defined.
Another parameter in the choice of hairline design is the U-shape or V-shape, which depends on age, the natural hairline and the shape of the face.
Finally, the doctor is called upon to choose whether to follow a vertical line from the sides of the forehead to the edges of the eyes or the V-line.
It is all of these decisions that make hair transplantation not just a science but one of the Fine Arts, as Dr. Vekris points out in his presentations at international conferences.
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Natural result with appropriate angle of graft placement and proper distribution
The angle of placement of the hair follicles, depending on their location and characteristics (single hair, double hair, etc.), plays a vital role in achieving a natural result.
Equally important is the distribution of hair follicles in the thinned areas, allowing the plastic surgeon to make the most of the available grafts to achieve the densest possible result:
- Maximum density at the top of the head
- Gradual decrease in density moving towards the boundaries of the grafting zone for a smooth “fade”
- Blending of the implanted hair follicles with the existing hair
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Unshaven FUE session for 100% discretion
The medical teams of Advanced Hair Clinics are among the few that successfully apply the very demanding Unshaven FUE method.
- Ability to extract and transplant hair follicles only by trimming the donor area
- Placement of grafts without shaving the recipient area
- Discreet hair transplantation procedure
- Immediate return to everyday life
- Completely natural result
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Long Hair FUE – Transplantation with long hair
Advanced Hair Clinics is one of the few -if not the only clinics in Greece- that successfully apply Long Hair FUE, the transplantation of long hair.
- The extraction and implantation of hair follicles is performed without cutting the existing hair, regardless of its length.
- This technique requires great skill on the part of the doctor and technical knowledge to ensure optimal placement of the graft, with the correct direction and angle of insertion, for 100% natural results
- Ideal for both men and women
- Immediate return to daily life

Our relationship doesn’t end after surgery
At Advanced Hair Clinics, we stand by our patients, providing detailed information and guidance both before and after the hair transplant.
Our surgeons, nurses and clinic consultants communicate regularly with patients over the following 12 months, confirming that they continue to receive the necessary conservative treatment and that the growth of the transplanted hair progresses at the expected rate.
At Advanced Hair Clinics, patients who trust us become “our people” and know they can turn to us at any time with any questions or concerns.
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
Dedicated support team
Each hair transplant candidate receives personalized and individualized care from the Advanced Hair Clinics team at all stages of the procedure, before and after.
Our team consists of the lead surgeon, their assistants, and qualified nursing staff. Each patient interacts consistently with members of the same team, enjoying their undivided attention and guidance.

Painless application of local anesthesia
At Advanced Hair Clinics, we aim for the hair transplant experience to be painless for the patient and the necessary procedures that precede it not to exacerbate potential stress. Thus, even the simple application of local anesthesia is only performed by experienced nurses. The use of the special vibrator device neutralizes the stimulus of the injection and as our patients themselves confirm, the procedure is essentially painless.

Afro Hair FUE – Technique with special requirements
The medical team of Advanced Hair Clinics, led by Dr. Anastasios Vekris, specializes in FUE hair transplantation for patients of African descent.
Dr. Vekris is highly knowledgeable about the unique characteristics of hair follicle implantation across different ethnicities. People of African ancestry exhibit distinct differences in both hairline patterns and hair texture compared to those of European ancestry.
BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE
We stop further hair loss with targeted treatments
If hair loss is diagnosed early and treated appropriately, you may never need a hair transplant – or at least significantly delay the need for one. However, even if you have had a hair transplant, ongoing conservative treatment is necessary to preserve both your existing and transplanted hair, as hair loss typically progresses. It’s important to remember that hair transplantation does not cure hair loss but restores density to thinning areas.
- Our medical team evaluate the degree of hair loss and determine the causes to recommend the appropriate treatment plan for you
- For hair loss, different treatments are recommended individually or in combination
- Early initiation of treatment stops the progression of hair loss, regardless of its stage, and significantly delays the need for hair transplantation
- Consistency in hair loss treatment is crucial to maintaining your existing hair for many years and the outcome of a successful hair transplant

YOUR REVIEWS
The team at Advanced Hair Clinics delivers the best results. Whatever I say about my experience with them would be an understatement. The results are excellent, plain and simple. They are professionals in their field, and the awards they have received prove it – they are simply the best in the world! In addition to having an excellent medical team, I personally made some very good friends there.
ANESTIS ILIADIS
I have a few words to say. The transplant I had was 100% successful. The results are truly spectacular. I didn’t expect something so terrific. Congratulations to all the doctors and staff who are excellent scientists and genuine people. Don’t even think twice – it’s the best gift for yourself.
nikos z
A few months after the transplant, everyone says to me, “This is the first time we have seen a hair transplant with such a natural result!” Both the doctor and his team are among the few true professionals in this field. It doesn’t make sense for anyone interested in getting a hair transplant in Greece to look anywhere else.
