Treatment Overview
The Ultra-Dense FUT Hair Transplant is an advanced version of the traditional strip method, designed to achieve maximum graft density and natural thickness in a single session.
By using high-magnification microscopes and dense-packing implantation techniques, Korean surgeons can transplant up to 70–90 follicular units per cm², creating rich, natural coverage that closely mimics your native hair pattern.
This method is ideal for patients with extensive hair loss who want a fuller, more youthful look in fewer sessions.
Purpose & Benefits
The primary goal of the Ultra-Dense FUT method is to deliver maximum fullness and density with precise placement of follicular units.
Key benefits include:
- Exceptionally dense, natural results
- Large graft numbers in a single session (3,000–5,000+)
- Long-lasting, natural growth
- Cost-efficient for extensive baldness
- Ideal for patients seeking full coverage restoration
Ideal Candidates
Ultra-Dense FUT is best suited for:
- Men with advanced baldness (Norwood Type V–VII)
- Women with diffuse thinning or wide scalp exposure
- Individuals seeking high-density coverage in one session
- Patients with flexible scalp and strong donor density
- Those willing to accept a small linear donor scar (hidden under hair)
Possible Risks & Complications
While highly successful, Ultra-Dense FUT may involve mild, temporary side effects such as:
- Donor area tightness or slight soreness
- Linear scar (minimized using trichophytic closure)
- Temporary shedding (shock loss)
- Swelling or mild scalp numbness
Korean clinics use microsurgical tools, fine sutures, and healing boosters like PRP to minimize these effects and promote rapid recovery.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korea’s Ultra-Dense FUT integrates traditional strip harvesting with cutting-edge density enhancement tools and precision graft placement.
Advanced technologies include:
- Microscopic graft dissection for follicle preservation
- Trichophytic closure for near-invisible donor scars
- Dense packing (70–90 grafts/cm²) for natural fullness
- PRP & Stem Cell Therapy to enhance growth and healing
- 3D Hairline Design & Scalp Mapping Systems for natural distribution and angle control
Through these innovations, Korean surgeons achieve a soft, natural hairline and uniform thickness even in advanced hair loss cases.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step 1 – Consultation & Design:
Detailed scalp assessment and hairline design using 3D imaging to plan graft density and placement.
Step 2 – Donor Strip Harvest:
A thin strip of scalp is carefully removed under local anesthesia.
Step 3 – Microscopic Graft Dissection:
Follicular units are separated under high-magnification microscopes to maintain healthy grafts.
Step 4 – Dense Implantation:
Surgeons use fine blades to create dense, uniform slits, placing grafts at controlled angles and depth.
Step 5 – PRP & Closure:
Trichophytic closure minimizes the scar, and PRP or LED therapy promotes healing and graft survival.
The full process usually takes 6–8 hours, depending on the graft quantity.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery after Ultra-Dense FUT is comfortable and straightforward, with minimal downtime.
Typical recovery timeline:
- Day 1–3: Mild tightness in the donor area
- Day 5–7: Scabs naturally shed
- Day 10–14: Sutures removed, redness fades
- Month 3: New hair begins to grow
- Month 12: Full, thick results visible
After-care instructions:
- Avoid touching or washing for 48 hours
- Use prescribed shampoo and medications only
- Avoid strenuous exercise for one week
- Sleep with head elevated for two nights
- Attend follow-up PRP or laser sessions for enhanced results
Results & Longevity
Early regrowth begins around 3–4 months, and the full density effect appears within 10–12 months.
The results are permanent, with natural hair that can be styled and trimmed normally.
Korean Ultra-Dense FUT achieves one of the highest graft survival rates (over 95%), thanks to meticulous handling and post-care technology.
