4) Do hair transplants come with a warranty or guarantee?
 

Short answer: Clinics generally offer procedure-specific policies for early issues.

More detail: Request the written policy for your case (what’s covered, time frames, touch-ups/fees). Policies don’t replace medical insurance or promise a specific cosmetic outcome, which varies by donor quality and aftercare.

5) How many days should I stay in Seoul?

Short answer: Many patients stay 3–5 days around FUE for checks and washing guidance.

More detail: Larger graft cases or travelers combining tourism often plan 5–7 days; your exact schedule will be set at consultation.

6) How many grafts will I need?

Short answer: It depends on area size, hair caliber, goals, and donor supply.

More detail: Hairline-only cases may need a few hundred grafts; broader coverage/density can require 1,500–3,000+. Your surgeon will design a conservative plan that protects future options.

7) What is CIT® and how is it different from standard FUE?

Short answer: CIT® is a refined FUE method aimed at minimizing transection (damage to follicles) and optimizing healing.

More detail: It uses specialized punches and handling protocols; in everyday terms, it’s about extracting grafts more gently and efficiently to improve take rates and scarring.

8) What should I avoid after surgery?

Short answer: Touching, rubbing, heavy sweating, and sun exposure in the first days.

More detail: Follow the clinic’s wash schedule, sleep instructions, hat guidance, and medication plan to protect grafts.
