※ Surgical methods may vary depending on individual conditions, and recovery time including swelling and bruising may differ.
FUT and FUE differ only in harvesting method - neither is inherently better.
The appropriate surgical method is determined based on individual scalp condition and hair loss progression.

Surgical method where a strip of occipital scalp is excised and healthy follicles are transplanted to areas needing hair |
Surgical method that harvests only needed follicles from between existing hairs without incision |

Hair transplantation is no longer an unfamiliar surgery. Many patients actually choose
hair transplantation for aesthetic improvement and confidence boost, living satisfied lives with good results.
Since we use the limited resource of occipital follicles, the number of possible surgeries is limited.
Therefore, you must be careful in selecting the hospital for surgery.
