Layered Session Planning (Split FUE) Cost in Korea

Layered Session Planning—often referred to as Split FUE—is a strategic approach used in Korean hair transplant clinics for patients requiring a high number of grafts or full-zone restoration. Instead of performing all grafts in one sitting, the procedure is split across multiple sessions spaced days or weeks apart. This allows better healing, donor area recovery, and more refined control over density, especially for large or complex cases.
