Treatment Overview
The Ultra-Dense Body Hair Transplant (Ultra-Dense BHT) is a specialized high-density restoration technique that utilizes body donor grafts—such as beard, chest, abdomen, legs, and arms—to create maximum scalp density and volume.
This approach is ideal for individuals who want the thickest possible coverage, especially in cases of advanced baldness, previous failed transplants, or naturally low-density scalp donor areas.
Korean surgeons are globally recognized for their advanced micro-FUE density-packing techniques, allowing precise placement of body grafts in extremely high concentrations while maintaining natural aesthetics.
Purpose & Benefits
The goal of Ultra-Dense BHT is to deliver high-impact, high-density scalp coverage using robust multi-source donor grafts.
Key benefits include:
- Achieves maximum density by combining beard, chest, and scalp grafts.
- Perfect for large balding patterns requiring 4,000–8,000+ total grafts.
- Beard grafts provide powerful bulk density.
- Body grafts add soft blending to maintain natural texture.
- Ideal for crown, mid-scalp, and high-demand density zones.
- Great for patients who want a dramatic visual transformation.
- Helps repair low-density or failed transplants.
Ideal Candidates
You may be an excellent candidate if you:
- Have advanced hair loss (Norwood 5–7).
- Require more grafts than your scalp alone can provide.
- Want thicker-than-average density in your restoration.
- Have dense beard and body donor areas available.
- Need repair after older FUT/FUE procedures.
- Prefer a bold, full-coverage result instead of a conservative one.
Possible Risks & Complications
Ultra-dense body hair transplantation is safe with experienced surgeons, but may involve:
- Slightly longer procedure time due to higher graft counts.
- Mild redness or pinpoint scabbing in body donor areas.
- Slight variation in texture between scalp and body grafts.
- Increased post-op sensitivity in densely packed areas.
- Rare ingrown hairs in body donor zones (minimized with micro-FUE).
Techniques & Technology Used
- High-Density Micro-FUE: Allows densely packed graft placement with minimal trauma.
- Multi-Donor Extraction:
- Beard → highest density & bulk
- Chest → medium-density coverage
- Legs/Arms → fine, soft blending
- Density Maximization Strategy: Uses robust grafts for deeper zones and fine grafts for edges.
- Feathered Zone Transitions: Maintains a natural blend between graft types.
- Precision Angle & Direction Control: Ensures realistic hair flow even in ultra-dense packing.
- Optional PRP / Growth Factor Therapy: Enhances graft survival and healing.
Treatment Process in Korea
- Consultation & Donor Assessment — Full evaluation of scalp, beard, and body donor supply.
- Density Planning & Mapping — Surgeon designs a high-density layout targeting priority zones.
- Multi-Area Donor Preparation — Beard, chest, abdomen, or leg hair trimmed and sterilized.
- Micro-FUE Extraction — Grafts harvested in phases from multiple donor areas.
- Graft Sorting & Hydration — Follicles categorized by thickness and placement suitability.
- Ultra-Dense Implantation — High-density packing performed with careful angle and spacing.
- After-Care Strategy — Healing and growth plan tailored to large graft sessions.
Recovery & After-Care
- Body donor redness fades within 2–5 days.
- Scalp recipient areas may show small scabs for 5–7 days.
- Avoid sweating, friction, and heavy exercise for one week.
- Transplanted grafts shed in 3–6 weeks—normal shedding cycle.
- Early growth appears around 3–4 months.
- Full ultra-dense results visible at 10–14 months.
Results & Longevity
- Extremely full, dense, and thick appearance compared to traditional FUE.
- Significant transformation even for severe baldness cases.
- Permanent growth from multi-donor follicles.
- Natural blending of different donor textures when placed artistically.
- Long-term high-volume improvement in scalp coverage and density.

- Huge experience treating international patients with large-scale graft needs.
Cost Range
The cost of Ultra-Dense Body Hair Transplant in Korea varies by graft count and donor complexity:
- Medium density session (3,000–4,500 grafts): ₩8,000,000 – ₩12,000,000
- High-density session (4,500–6,500 grafts): ₩12,000,000 – ₩16,000,000
- Ultra-density mega-session (6,500–8,000+ grafts): ₩16,000,000 – ₩22,000,000
Includes consultation, donor harvesting, implantation, anesthesia, medication, and follow-up visits.
