Quasiconformal and HQC mappings between Lyapunov Jordan domains

Let $h$ be a quasiconformal (qc) mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{U}$ onto a Lyapunov domain. We show that $h$ maps subdomains of Lyapunov type of $\mathbb{U}$, which touch the boundary of $\mathbb{U}$, onto domains of similar type. In particular if $h$ is a harmonic qc (hqc) mapping of $\mathbb{U}$ onto a Lyapunov domain, using it, we prove that $h$ is co-Lipschitz (co-Lip) on $\mathbb{U}$. This settles an open intriguing problem.
