Non-Shaven FUE (NFUE) – Cost in Korea
Non-Shaven FUE (NFUE) is a hair transplant technique where follicular units are extracted without shaving the donor area, preserving existing hair for a discreet appearance during recovery. While more labor-intensive, NFUE is especially appreciated by patients seeking minimal visible downtime. Korean clinics offer it with varied aftercare and optional boosters.
