About the procedure
Procedure Overview
Hair transplant moves your own follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to thinning or receding zones. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) harvests individual follicular units without a linear scar, suiting patients who prefer short hair. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) removes a thin strip of donor scalp, often enabling a larger graft session. The right method depends on your donor density, hairline goals, and recovery preferences. Results develop gradually over many months and vary by individual.
Why Myeongdong
Myeongdong sits at the heart of central Seoul, a shopping and tourism hub built around Myeongdong Station (Lines 4 and 2 nearby) and direct AREX access from Incheon Airport. Foreign visitors find it exceptionally easy to reach, with abundant hotels, currency exchange, and dining. The district and its surroundings host accessible clinics across dermatology, plastic surgery, and hair-restoration fields, making consultations and short follow-up visits convenient between sightseeing.
Process & Recovery
After a free consultation, your scalp and donor area are assessed and a graft plan is agreed. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Mild swelling or scabbing is common in the first days; most visitors resume light activity quickly, while strenuous exercise is paused. Mediport coordinates interpreter support and any aftercare check.
