Clinical Expertise

FUE Hair Transplantation

Dr. Zontos performs hair transplantation using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, a minimally invasive method in which individual follicular units are extracted from the donor area.

FUE represents a central focus of both his surgical practice and his scientific work in the field of hair restoration.

Long Hair FUE

As part of his clinical and research activity, Dr. Zontos developed a modification of the FUE technique that allows follicular units to be extracted without requiring the donor area to be shaved.

This technique is known as Long Hair FUE and is designed to allow hair transplantation without an extensive alteration in the appearance of the donor area.

Optimisation of Follicular Unit Extraction

Dr. Zontos has also developed a technique aimed at minimising skin injury in the donor area while improving the quality of the extracted follicular units.

This approach is designed to improve graft survival and contribute to a natural-looking, high-density result.

The related technique has been published in the scientific journal Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
