The cost of a hair transplant is not a fixed rate; it depends on the number of follicles being transplanted. With the non-incisional method, pricing is generally calculated per graft. Because this approach requires roughly twice the time of the incisional method and a different set of technical skills, the final cost can vary even for the same number of grafts, depending on the surgeon’s expertise and the method used.

Moarm’s pricing is as follows:

• FUE (shaving): 7,700 KRW per graft
• FUE (non-shaving): 11,000 KRW per graft

An additional 10% VAT applies.

While incisional surgery is relatively quick, non-incisional hair transplant takes longer. At Moarm, the average procedure runs about 7 to 8 hours depending on the number of follicles, with a maximum of 2,000 to 3,000 grafts per day.

Most methods have the patient lying down to harvest and transplant, which can cause facial swelling and slows the graft-and-transplant process. At Moarm, the procedure is performed seated upright, preventing swelling and letting patients relax with TV or a movie. This position also shortens the window between extraction and transplantation to just 2 to 20 minutes, helping protect graft quality and improve results.

The procedures at Moarm are performed under local anesthesia. Patients typically feel a slight pinch and tightness as the anesthetic is administered to the treatment area. Once it takes effect, however, the procedure itself is not painful. The anesthesia is carefully maintained throughout the surgery, and even as it gradually wears off, patients generally report only a very low level of discomfort.

Non-incisional hair transplants at Moarm are typically performed under local anesthesia and are not associated with major side effects. During recovery, patients may notice some tightness or reduced sensation around the treated area. This temporary numbness usually fades on its own, with normal sensation gradually returning over the course of a few months.

Modern hair transplant surgery is an autologous procedure, meaning it uses the patient’s own hair follicles. If hair from another person were used, the body would recognize it as foreign tissue, raising the risk of infection and other complications. For this reason, using one’s own hair remains the safest and most reliable approach in hair restoration today.
