Trichophytic Closure FUT Cost in Korea

Trichophytic Closure in Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is a refined technique employed by top Korean clinics to minimize the visibility of linear donor scars. By overlapping the skin edges and allowing hair to grow through the scar, this method achieves a softer line and more natural appearance compared to traditional closure. It’s especially favored by patients pursuing premium outcomes and minimal scarring from FUT procedures.
