Treatment and diagnostics hair transplantation in Seoul, South Korea

Alopecia is pathological hair loss, widely known as baldness. It manifests as the death of hair follicles, with no new hair growing in their place. The most effective way to fight alopecia is hair transplantation.

Hair transplantation in Seoul is particularly effective. Doctors here have mastered the most modern transplant techniques and select the most suitable method for each patient individually.

 Procedure features

Hair transplantation is based on two main manipulations:

• graft preparation: a donor area is identified on the patient’s body, from which the surgeon harvests hair follicles for transplantation,
• graft implantation: the extracted follicles are transplanted into the balding area.

These procedures form the basis of every hair transplantation technique.

Types of transplantation

Physicians in Seoul use the following hair transplantation methods:

• the FUT strip method, a standard technique that allows a limited number of hairs to be transplanted. The doctor removes a small piece of skin with follicles from the donor area and forms grafts from it. These small fragments, containing one to four follicles, are transplanted into the balding area;
• the FUE seamless method. Grafts are extracted with a special punch device that leaves no noticeable scars;
• the HFE method, an innovative technique in which follicles are extracted directly, without forming grafts first.
