Overview

Hair transplantation extracts hair follicles from the donor area (back of the scalp) and implants them into thinning or bald areas. FUE and DHI methods are commonly used in Korea. Transplanted hair begins growing in 3–6 months, with final results visible at 12 months. Korea offers competitive pricing with high-quality outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

모발 이식 후 이식 모발이 다시 빠지나요?

이식 후 2~6주 내 이식 모발이 일시적으로 탈락하는 '쇼크 로스' 현상이 정상적으로 발생합니다. 이후 모낭은 휴지기를 거쳐 3~6개월부터 새 모발을 생성합니다. 이식된 모낭은 탈모 저항성 후두부 모낭이므로 영구적으로 유지됩니다.

What is the difference between FUE and DHI hair transplant methods?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) harvests individual follicles using a micro-punch tool and implants them via pre-made recipient sites. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a Choi pen to implant follicles directly without pre-made holes, allowing denser packing and better angle control. DHI is generally 20–30% more expensive but offers more precise hairline design.
