General information about treatment in Seoul, published by MONARA Dermatology Clinic for international patients. Our own approach, physicians and prices are on the pages linked at the end.
Korea has become one of the world’s top destinations for female hair transplant procedures. Women from across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America travel to Seoul to restore their hairline and confidence. With advanced technology and highly trained specialists, Korea offers outstanding results at competitive prices.
A female hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves healthy hair follicles from a donor area — usually the back or sides of the scalp — to areas where hair is thinning or missing. Unlike male pattern baldness, women tend to experience diffuse thinning across the scalp, making careful technique especially important.
Korean clinics offer several techniques tailored to each patient’s hair type, loss pattern, and goals.

Most clinics offer free consultations and detailed quotes after reviewing photos of your hair loss. Always confirm what is included in the price, such as anesthesia, post-op care kits, and follow-up visits.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes between four and eight hours depending on the number of grafts. You will be awake but comfortable throughout. After the surgery, mild swelling and redness are normal and usually subside within one to two weeks. Most patients can return to light activity within a few days. Washing your hair with a gentle technique is usually allowed after 48 to 72 hours, following the clinic’s specific instructions.
In the first one to three months, it is normal for transplanted hairs to shed. This is called shock loss and is part of the natural growth cycle. New hair growth typically begins around three to four months after the procedure. By the six-month mark, noticeable improvement is visible. Full results, including thickness and length, are usually seen between ten and fourteen months after surgery. Many clinics offer remote follow-up consultations via video call for international patients.
