How to Choose Between FUT and FUE Hair Transplants
Hair transplant surgery, which involves harvesting hair from the donor site and transplanting it to either the hairline or other thin areas, can be divided into incisional or non-incisional techniques. Both approaches have their own specific harvesting methods, and choosing the ‘better’ method depends on the patient’s condition. Therefore, having medical staff skilled in both incisional and non-incisional techniques is crucial.

No One-Size-Fits-All Treatment
While non-incisional methods are generally preferred and are indeed better in terms of scarring and pain, they aren’t suitable for all situations. The key is being ready for surgery tailored to the patient’s condition and circumstances.
FUT Strip Surgery
A section of scalp containing the needed hair follicles is removed and then sutured back together.
FUE Box Shaving
Follicles are harvested after shaving a rectangular area from the donor site.
Line Cut
Follicles are harvested after shaving several approximately 1 cm thick lines.
Non-Shaving
Hair follicles are harvested individually without incision or shaving.

Seojin hair Transplant harvesting Methods
A section of the scalp is removed with the necessary hair follicles, making the surgery time short but increasing the risk of scarring and pain. Since the transplant is done with the skin intact, you can keep your current hairstyle without a bigger shave.
Because individual follicles are harvested one by one, the procedure requires more time, however, discomfort is minimized and scarring is virtually invisible. A gradient hairline design can be achievable, if there is a sufficient variety of hair textures within the donor area.
This method delivers all the benefits of a non-incisional procedure without the drawbacks of a traditional box cut. By shaving thin strips and harvesting follicles sparsely, the surrounding longer hair easily conceals the donor area post-surgery, ensuring a discreet recovery and a faster return to daily life.
By extracting individual grafts without shaving, this no-shave technique is nearly undetectable post-surgery. It offers the seamless lifestyle transition you need, maintaining your current hairstyle effortlessly while allowing for a customized gradient transplant.
In addition, since surgery must be performed advantageously depending on the current condition or patient’s needs, you should choose a hospital that offers incision, non-incision, and line cuts.

Checkpoint 05
HD Microscope Hair Follicle Isolation
Even if a large number of hair follicles are transplanted, damaged roots will prevent proper hair growth. At Seojin, we inspect separated hair follicles under a high-magnification microscope and transplant only undamaged ones to ensure optimal hair growth.

Richer, more abundant Hair
Combining semi-permanent scalp tattooing with a hair transplant that creates a fuller and darker appearance.
It is possible to create a fuller and darker look by applying semi-permanent scalp tattooing to the areas that are missing after a hair transplant.
Unlike typical semi-permanent tattoos, a natural filling effect is achieved by using a dot technique between hairs.
The survival rate of transplanted hair relies on effective harvesting, transplantation, and management.
Even if a large amount of hair is collected and transplanted, it will eventually fall out or disappear if it does not engraft properly. The key to successful hair transplantation is maximizing the survival rate. Since the engraftment rate varies with harvesting, transplantation, and post-surgical care, it is crucial to choose a hospital that excels in the entire process, from diagnosis to post-surgical care.
