Standard Strip FUT Cost in Korea

Standard Strip FUT Cost in Korea

Standard Strip FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a traditional hair transplant method where a linear strip of scalp is harvested and grafts are microscopically dissected. Korean clinics continue to offer this technique, particularly for patients requiring large graft numbers in fewer sessions. FUT is often more cost-effective per graft and preferred in cases where donor density is high and scarring is not a major concern.
