Women from across Asia, Europe, and North America travel to Seoul for advanced hair restoration at prices far lower than back home. If you are dealing with thinning hair or hair loss, Korea offers world-class care with proven results.
A female hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves healthy hair follicles from one part of the scalp to areas where hair is thin or missing. Unlike men, women tend to experience diffuse thinning across the scalp rather than a receding hairline, so the approach is carefully tailored to each patient. The goal is to restore natural-looking density without visible scarring.

Your exact quote will depend on a personal assessment of your scalp and hair loss stage.
Most female hair transplant procedures take between four and eight hours depending on the number of grafts. Local anesthesia is used so you stay awake but feel no pain. After the procedure, mild swelling and redness are normal for the first few days. You can usually return to your hotel the same day. Most patients can fly home within five to seven days after surgery. Avoid strenuous activity and direct sun exposure for at least two weeks after the procedure.
Transplanted hairs will shed within the first few weeks after surgery. This is completely normal and expected. New hair growth begins within three to four months. Noticeable improvement is usually visible after six months, and full results can be seen after twelve to eighteen months.
