Medication maintains what remains; it does not restore what has been lost for years. Started early, it is far more cost-effective than surgery and is the reason Korean clinics evaluate for medical therapy before quoting a transplant.

Scalp injection programmes using growth factors or exosomes are widely sold in Seoul and are commonly delivered as a course of four to ten sessions. Evidence for these is weaker than for finasteride and minoxidil, so treat them as an adjunct rather than a foundation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need medication after a hair transplant?

Usually yes. Transplanted follicles are permanent, but native hair around them keeps thinning without treatment, which produces a visible gap within a few years.

Are exosome scalp treatments proven?

Evidence is early and considerably weaker than for finasteride and minoxidil. They are reasonable as an adjunct but should not replace treatments with established outcome data.

Recovery Time and When You Can Fly

The length of your trip is set by the mandatory follow-up interval, not by how quickly you feel well, and flying too early raises the risk of swelling, bleeding and thrombosis.

Medical Costs and Payment in Korea

Foreign patients without Korean national health insurance pay the full private rate, which is still typically 30 to 70 percent below US pricing for the same procedure, and card payment is accepted almost everywhere.
