Treatment Overview
The Combined FUE + PRP Hair Transplant is an advanced, science-backed treatment that merges the precision of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) with the healing and regenerative power of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
In this method, healthy hair follicles are extracted and transplanted into thinning areas using the FUE technique. Immediately afterward, a concentrated PRP solution — derived from the patient’s own blood — is injected into the scalp to enhance graft survival, stimulate new growth, and accelerate recovery.
Korea is a global leader in this combination therapy, known for its cutting-edge technology, precise surgical methods, and outstanding aesthetic outcomes.
Purpose & Benefits
The goal of the Combined FUE + PRP treatment is to maximize hair density, accelerate healing, and strengthen transplanted follicles for long-term growth.
Key Benefits
- Improves graft survival and hair growth rate
- Reduces inflammation and promotes faster healing
- Strengthens existing hair follicles
- Provides thicker, denser, and more natural-looking results
- Uses the body’s natural growth factors — 100% safe and biocompatible
- Minimizes downtime and post-surgery discomfort
Ideal Candidates
This combination treatment is suitable for:
- Men and women experiencing pattern baldness or thinning hair
- Patients seeking enhanced results from standard FUE procedures
- Individuals with weaker or fine hair looking for improved thickness
- People who prefer natural, regenerative therapy without synthetic chemicals
- Patients wanting faster recovery and reduced shedding after transplant
Possible Risks & Complications
The Combined FUE + PRP method is extremely safe since it uses autologous blood plasma (from the patient’s own body). However, minor temporary effects may include:
- Mild swelling or redness at injection or transplant sites
- Temporary scalp sensitivity
- Minor itching or tenderness during healing phase
These effects usually subside within 2–3 days. Korea’s clinics ensure comfort and safety with sterile PRP processing systems and gentle FUE extraction methods.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean surgeons use advanced PRP systems such as RegenLab, Magellan, or Angel PRP combined with micro-punch FUE tools (0.6–0.8 mm) for minimally invasive precision.
Advanced Techniques Used in Korea
- FUE Extraction: Individual follicles are harvested from donor zones.
- Microscopic Graft Preparation: Ensures graft health and uniformity.
- PRP Concentration Process: Platelets and growth factors are separated via centrifugation.
- PRP Injection: Plasma is injected into both donor and recipient areas to enhance healing.
- Implantation: Hair grafts are implanted using sapphire blades or DHI implanter pens for natural density.
By combining regenerative PRP therapy with FUE, Korean clinics achieve superior hair growth, reduced shedding, and faster scalp recovery.
Treatment Process in Korea
- Consultation: Scalp and hair analysis using digital trichoscopy.
- FUE Extraction: Hair follicles are extracted from donor areas.
- PRP Preparation: Blood is drawn and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma.
- Implantation: Grafts are implanted into thinning areas.
- PRP Injection: Plasma is injected into scalp areas to boost healing and follicle strength.
- Aftercare: Medication and post-PRP care instructions provided.
Korean clinics offer customized FUE + PRP packages for international patients with coordination support, translation, and aftercare follow-ups.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is quicker than standard FUE due to PRP’s healing properties:
- Mild swelling for 2–3 days
- Gentle hair washing after 3 days
- Avoid intense activity for 10–14 days
- PRP helps reduce redness and speeds up healing time
- Visible new hair growth within 3–4 months
- Full results achieved in 12–15 months
Most patients notice stronger, thicker, and healthier regrowth compared to traditional transplants.
