Specialization in hair transplantation
“Hair is more than just a feature. For many people, it is a symbol of beauty and self-confidence,” says Dr. Lefteris Papanikolaou.
At LP Clinic, a wide range of services is offered, covering dermatology, aesthetic medicine, and hair transplantation, with recent additions including plastic surgery and scalp micropigmentation. Additionally, a line of cosmetic products has been developed for the care and protection of the skin and scalp. In the field of hair transplantation, the clinic boasts top-level expertise and many years of experience.
The distinct difference of LP Clinic
« In hair transplantation, I have invented and applied the DIRECT IN Implantation technique, which allows direct placement of grafts without sockets. I am perhaps the first to apply it in Greece, perhaps in Europe, and I have trained many doctors in this technique. I also like dermatology, as it is something I loved and became very good at after completing my residency at Andreas Syngros Hospital – the best and most specialized hospital in Europe”, Dr. Lefteris Papanikolaou will explain.
- «In addition, we have created THE service LIPO CLINIC for resurfacing with local anesthesia, with the collaboration of an experienced plastic surgeon, Michalis Mouzakis, who is a collaborator, colleague and friendTo meet our patients’ needs for scalp micropigmentation, we offer the SMG technique, which provides greater density in hair transplantation using small tattoo dots that are permanent and virtually invisible. Finally, we are continuously developing our services to provide the best possible care and service to our patients.»
The philosophy of LP Clinic, also known as Living Pretty, focuses on offering high-quality medical services, with love for people and scientific accuracy.
The LP Clinic team
The team that has been assembled, and which forms the core of the clinic’s success, has remained unchanged and consists of seven key and exceptional members who ensure the smooth operation of the clinic. Among them are two dermatologists, one plastic surgeon, two nurses, one secretary, and his wife, Kiki Kalaitzidou, who manages communication and public relations.
In addition to this core, five other outstanding physicians specializing in hair transplantation, as well as five nurses, have joined as collaborators, performing procedures for clients from both Greece and abroad. Furthermore, there are the “unsung heroes” who manage the website www.lp-clinic.gr, as well as the exclusive cosmetic products offered by the clinic. These products, manufactured by a well-known company in Greece, are promoted through the online store (e-Shop) that has been created.
Medical Tourism
“Greece can become a helper in medical tourism in Europe, which we started so many years ago without organized actions by the state, with the aim of expanding it and making it gigantic like Turkey.”
Dr. Lefteris Papanikolaou has stated that a very important part of his experience was the opportunity to train new doctors around the world. “I recognized the growing demand for medical tourism and helped more than 50 countries develop this practice. Few know that Greek doctors are pioneers in hair transplantation and have conquered this field globally, much like Alexander the Great.”
“Regarding medical tourism in Greece, we firmly believe that our country can develop as a destination for medical tourists. LP Clinic already collaborates with countries such as Israel, the USA, the UK, Dubai, and others, from where patients are referred to us for various medical services, especially hair transplantation. We have already submitted a proposal to the Mayor of Glyfada concerning the Elliniko project, which is expected to bring thousands of tourists to the area. Our goal is to create a platform that brings together doctors with high-quality medical services and expertise. Additionally, we plan to offer minor surgical procedures under local anesthesia in luxury five-star hotels. This effort represents a dream for us and contributes to the further international development of LP Clinic.”
