How do I get an assessment before I book a flight?
Send photographs of the front, crown and donor area on WhatsApp with a short description of how the loss has progressed. A preliminary opinion and a realistic graft range come back before you commit to travel. The final plan is set in person on the day.
How long do I need to be in Korea?
The operation is one day. The clinic sees surgical patients again the following day for wound check, dressing and the shampoo demonstration, so two nights is the practical minimum. Staying to the one-week check is better if your schedule allows it.
Will people be able to tell?
The donor area can be left unshaven, in which case there is nothing to see at the back from day one. At the recipient site, small crusts are present and are removed gradually from about day ten. Hats can be worn immediately — a bucket hat, hiking cap, bandana or hood, resting rather than gripping. Baseball caps and beanies are not suitable.
How is the price decided?
By follicular unit. The tariff is published on the pricing page in bands from 1,000 to 3,000 follicular units, with a separate multiplier for non-shaven work, so you can see the figure before you arrive. The exact band is confirmed at the consultation.
Should I have surgery or treatment?
That is decided at diagnosis, and the two are not alternatives. Where the donor area is sound and the loss is patterned, a transplant does what treatment cannot. Where loss is diffuse or still progressing, treatment first is the honest answer — and micropigmentation sits alongside both.
