Scar Revision using FUE Cost in Korea

Scar revision using FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a specialized technique offered by many Korean hair restoration clinics to camouflage linear or patchy scalp scars. This is often used after previous FUT (strip) surgeries, accidents, or surgical procedures that left visible scarring. Using precise micro-punches, healthy grafts are extracted and transplanted directly into scar tissue, promoting regrowth and blending the area with surrounding hair.
