Consultation with a surgeon in DaVINCI Clinic

DaVINCI Clinic is a medical aesthetic center in Tirana, Albania. Founded in 2014, it operates within a hospital originally built for cardiothoracic surgery. The building was fully reconstructed in 2025. It sits in the city center, less than one kilometer from Skanderbeg Square.

Accreditations and Clinical Infrastructure

The facility holds certifications from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and Leading Hospitals. Medical services are delivered in a hospital with three operating rooms, 22 inpatient beds, and 5 ICU beds. This setup allows the team to follow European-style protocols for surgery and post-operative care.

The medical team includes 19 doctors and 9 support staff. Many specialists trained at Italian institutions – La Sapienza University of Rome, the University of Milan, and the University of Genoa. The clinic follows a strict patient selection policy. Anesthesiologists evaluate all candidates to confirm they are in optimal health before surgery.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic surgery is a primary specialty at the clinic. Surgeons perform body contouring and facial procedures using modern techniques. The department offers several surgical options:

• Deep Plane Facelift for facial rejuvenation and skin tightening.
• Rhinoplasty using open and closed methods for aesthetic and functional nose remodeling.
• Lipofilling to restore volume to the face or body using the patient's own fat.
• Breast surgery including augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy (breast lift).
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using fat injections for gluteal remodeling.

For breast lift procedures, surgeons require patients to stop smoking two weeks before surgery. The procedure typically lasts 2 to 2.5 hours under general anesthesia. Only 1.86% of patients experience complications after breast surgery with implants.

Hair Restoration Services

The hair restoration department treats alopecia through advanced transplantation methods. Over the past 8 years, 99% of hair transplant patients have reported satisfaction with their results. The clinic offers a guarantee for these procedures. Specialized techniques include:

• Micro FUE and MicroFUE-Z for precise follicle extraction and placement.
• DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) for high-density results.
• PRP therapy to stimulate hair growth and strengthen existing follicles.

A typical hair transplant package spans three days. The main procedure takes 6–8 hours under local anesthesia. On day two, staff remove bandages and perform the first treatment. The final day includes a specialized hair wash and medical check.

Advanced Technologies and Aesthetics

VASERlipo uses ultrasound energy to break down fat before removal. For skin tightening and cellulite reduction, the team uses Ignite RF and 4D Ignite RF Liposuction. These technologies promote skin contraction after fat removal.

Non-surgical options include Morpheus8, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency for skin rejuvenation. Coolsculpting (cryolipolysis) reduces fat without incisions. Laser hair removal is performed using Alexandrite laser systems. Specialized chemical peels treat adult acne and improve skin texture.

Services for International Patients

DaVINCI Clinic coordinates care for international patients with a focus on European medical standards. The team provides assistance in English, Italian, and Albanian.

Post-operative support includes specific recovery timelines and follow-up visits. For body procedures like abdominoplasty, patients stay two nights. Staff provide specialized chest corsets or bandages to manage swelling for 2–3 weeks. Patients receive a full schedule of follow-up visits until recovery is complete.
