Minimized Scar FUT Cost in Korea

Minimized–Scar FUT Cost in Korea

Minimized–Scar FUT is a refined version of the standard strip method, aimed at achieving the highest aesthetic outcome with the least visible donor-site scar. Korean clinics use techniques like trichophytic closure and layered suturing to bury the wound even under long hair, allowing a flatter, finer scar appearance that’s easy to conceal—ideal for those highly concerned about post-op visibility.
