FUT Cost Details in Korea
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation / Strip Method) Cost Details in Korea
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), often referred to as the Strip Method, involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area,
dissecting it under a microscope into individual follicular units, and implanting them into thinning or balding areas.
When combined with a professional post-operative regimen, FUT can offer enhanced recovery and better graft retention.
Korean clinics frequently provide a post-surgery care kit—containing medicated shampoo, healing serums, growth-supportive topicals—along with follow-up visits to track progress.
Base FUT costs in Korea generally range from ₩4.8M to ₩6.9M (~$3.5K–$5K).
