FUT + Implanter Pen (DHI‑Style) Cost in Korea
The FUT + Implanter Pen (DHI‑Style) procedure combines the graft density advantage of strip harvesting with the precision and trauma‑minimizing implantation of the implanter pen (similar to DHI). In Korea, this hybrid approach allows efficient graft harvesting followed by strategic, high-density placement using Choi-style pens—maximizing graft survival and aesthetic design.
