How to Choose Between FUT and FUE Hair Transplants


Hair transplant surgery, which involves harvesting hair from the donor site and transplanting it to the bald area, 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 a line approximately 1 cm thick.

Non-Shaving

Hair follicles are harvested individually without cutting or shaving.

Seojin hair Transplant harvesting Methods


01 FUT Strip Surgery

A section of hair and skin is collected all at once, 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 needing a half-shave.

02 FUE Box Shaving

Since the hair is collected one by one, the surgery takes longer, but there is a higher chance of minimal scarring and pain. Gradient hair transplant is possible, as thin hair can be selectively collected within a box cut.

03 line cut

This method combines the benefits of the non-incision technique with improvements to the box cut’s drawbacks. Thin strips of hair are collected sparsely, making the collection sites less noticeable after surgery and allowing for a quicker return to daily life.

04 Non-shaving

Since each hair follicle is harvested individually without shaving the head, it is virtually invisible after surgery, making it ideal for a quick return to daily life. This  is the least burdensome surgery method as it allows for high-quality styling to be maintained.

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.

PRP Autologous Blood Scalp Regeneration

Using platelets extracted from your own blood, this supplies sufficient nutrition to hair without rejection or allergic reactions. This technique also effectively improves skin aging and hair loss due to the various growth factors in the blood.

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.
