About the procedure
Procedure Overview
Hair transplantation moves your own follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to thinning or receding zones. Two common approaches: FUE (follicular unit extraction), which harvests individual follicular units without a linear incision, and FUT (follicular unit transplantation), which removes a thin donor strip. The right choice depends on your hairline goals, donor density, and scalp condition — assessed during consultation.
Why Apgujeong
Apgujeong-dong and Apgujeong Rodeo (Gangnam-gu) form one of Seoul's most established aesthetic districts, with a dense concentration of clinics across dermatology, plastic surgery, and related specialties. The area is highly accessible by Subway Line 3 (Apgujeong) and the Suin-Bundang Line (Apgujeong Rodeo), and is well-equipped for international visitors.
Process & Recovery
A session typically spans several hours under local anesthesia. Mild swelling or scabbing over the recipient area is common in the early days; transplanted hairs often shed before regrowth begins over the following months. Individual results and timelines vary.
