SMP + Hair Transplant Integration Cost in Korea

The SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation) and hair transplant integration method provides a dual solution for individuals seeking both immediate visual hair density and long-term follicular restoration. Clinics in Korea offer this hybrid method by combining precise hairline shading and scalp camouflage via SMP with the physical regrowth support of FUE or FUT grafts.

This approach is commonly applied in cases with visible donor scars, thinning density between grafts, or when full visual coverage is required beyond the graft limitations. SMP can precede or follow the transplant phase and is often repeated for touch-ups or scar concealment.
