How do I Choose Between an FUT and FUE Hair Transplant?


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 methods have their own particular harvesting methods, and choosing the ‘better’ method depends on the patient’s condition. Therefore, having medical staff skilled in both incisional and non-incisional harvesting is crucial.

The survival rate of transplanted hair depends on the efficacy all processes, from harvesting to transplantation and management.

Even if you simply collect and transplant a large amount of hair, if it does not engraft over time, it will eventually fall out or disappear again. Therefore, the most important factor in hair transplantation is how much the survival rate can be increased. Because the engraftment rate differs depending on various related to harvesting, transplantation, and post-surgical care, it is important to find a hospital that is confident in the entire process, from diagnosis to surgery and post-surgical care.

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 most crucial factor is being prepared to proceed with surgery tailored to the patient’s condition and circumstances.

FUT Strip Surgery

Removes an area of scalp equivalent to the required hair follicles then sutured back together.

FUE Box Shaving

Follicles harvested after shaving a rectangular area from the donor site.

Line Cut

Follicles harvested after shaving in a line approximately 1cm thick.

Non-Shaving

Hair follicles harvested individually without cutting or shaving.

Seojin hair Transplat harvesting Methods


01 FUT Strip Surgery

A certain range of hair is collected along with the skin at once, so the surgery time is short, but the risk of scarring and pain is relatively high. Because the transplant is performed with the skin intact, the current hairstyle can be maintained and the transplant done without the need for a half-shave.

02 FUE Box Shaving

Since the hair is collected one by one, the surgery time is long, but there is a high probability of relatively little scarring and pain. Gradient hair transplant is possible because it is possible to collect mainly thin hair within a box cut.

03 line cut

A method that takes advantage of the non-incision method and complements the disadvantage of the box cut. Since the samples are collected sparsely in the shape of thin strips, they are not noticeable after the surgery and are good for a quick 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. It is also 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.
