About The Black Hair Transplant
Hair loss is an increasingly common困扰. Whether it’s receding hairline, crown thinning, or total hair loss, hair transplantation is currently one of the most recognized effective solutions.
In Korea’s hair transplant field, one hospital has established an industry benchmark with 20 years of specialized experience — The Black Hair Transplant (더블랙 모발이식).
The Black Hair Transplant was founded in 2003, originally as Shin Dong-mi Hair Transplantation Hospital, renamed “The Black” in 2011.

All of The Black’s technical expertise, talent development, and equipment investment revolve around hair transplantation, with unparalleled depth of specialization in the industry.
Currently, The Black Hair Transplant has branches in Seoul Gangnam, Daegu, and Gwangju, serving all of Korea.

Patient Experience
The overall feel of The Black Hair Transplant is very “professional.” Walking in, you’ll clearly feel this is a pure hair transplant hospital, without the various project displays and promotions common in plastic surgery hospitals. The entire space’s atmosphere is very focused.
The hospital’s preliminary assessment is quite meticulous: examining follicle status magnified with trichoscope, precisely calculating donor area density, carefully designing the hairline direction. Every step reflects the professional attitude accumulated from 20 years of specialization.
Important to understand in advance: Hair transplant surgery does not show “immediate results.” Transplanted follicles go through a “shedding phase” (normal shedding at 2-4 weeks post-op). Actual new growth begins 3-6 months post-op. Final results stabilize only 12 months post-op. Understanding this timeline is very important for reasonably planning your Korea trip and post-operative expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does hair transplant surgery hurt?
A: Surgery is performed under local anesthesia. There will be mild pain during the anesthesia injection. Once anesthesia takes effect, the procedure is essentially painless. The entire surgery takes a while, but patients can rest and use their phone — no need to stay tense throughout.
Q: Are the newly grown hairs from transplant permanent?
A: Transplanted follicles come from the occipital area (back of head). These follicles have no androgen receptors in their genetics, so they maintain their androgen-independent characteristic even when transplanted to a new area — theoretically permanent. The prerequisite is that the donor area follicles themselves are healthy.
Q: What’s the difference between female and male hairline transplants?
A: Female hairline transplants typically pursue a soft, curved hairline with relatively fewer grafts; the difficulty lies in creating naturalness. Male procedures typically repair receding hairlines or M-shaped baldness with larger graft numbers; the focus is on coverage density. The Black has extensive experience with both types of needs.
Q: Can I return to the hotel on the same day after hair transplant?
A: Yes. Hair transplant surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, and you can return to the hotel the same day. However, avoid washing hair and strenuous exercise. Return to the hospital on the 2nd day post-op for first washing and care.
Q: Approximately how much does The Black Hair Transplant cost?
A: Hair transplant costs are calculated based on the number of grafts, usually quoted “per graft.” Chinese patients can check the current month’s price list via BeautsGO, or directly consult beautsgo6 for detailed quotes.
