About the procedure
Procedure Overview
Hair transplant moves healthy follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to thinning or receding zones. FUE (follicular unit extraction) harvests individual grafts without a linear scar, while FUT (follicular unit transplantation) removes a strip of tissue for larger sessions. The method is matched to your hair density, donor supply, and goals during consultation.
Why Gangnam
Gangnam is Seoul's main medical-beauty district, densely packed with clinics (dermatology, plastic surgery, hair-restoration centers, etc.). Its concentration of specialists, English-friendly reception desks, and subway access make it a common starting point for international patients comparing approaches before deciding.
Process & Recovery
A typical visit covers scalp assessment, donor evaluation, and a tailored graft plan. The procedure is usually outpatient under local anesthesia. Mild swelling or scabbing can follow; transplanted grafts often shed before regrowth. Results vary by individual and emerge gradually over months.
Preparation & Consultation
Bring photos of your hair history and any medication list. Mediport arranges a free consultation, interpretation, and clinic matching, and guides nearby lodging and attractions in Gangnam (guidance only, not booking).
