The procedure is done under local anesthesia and usually takes between four and eight hours depending on the number of grafts. You will be awake but comfortable throughout. After the procedure, the scalp may feel tender and you may notice small scabs forming around the transplanted follicles. These scabs fall off within one to two weeks. Most patients can return to light activity within three to five days and resume normal routines within two weeks.
Hair growth from a transplant follows a natural cycle. Most patients notice shedding of transplanted hairs in the first few weeks — this is normal. New growth begins around three to four months after surgery. Significant density improvement is visible by six to eight months, and full results are typically seen after twelve months. Korean clinics often provide follow-up video consultations for international patients to monitor progress remotely.
