About The Black Hair Transplant
Hair loss is an increasingly common issue. Whether it’s a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or total hair loss, hair transplantation is currently one of the most recognized and effective solutions.
In the field of hair transplantation in Korea, one hospital has set an industry standard with 20 years of specialized experience — The Black Hair Transplant.
The Black Hair Transplant was founded in 2003, originally as Shin Dong-mi Hair Transplantation Hospital, and was renamed “The Black” in 2011. For over 20 years, the hospital has focused exclusively on hair transplantation, making it one of the pioneers in this specialized field in Korea.
“Do one thing, do it right” — this has been The Black’s philosophy for 20 years. They do not offer plastic surgery or dermatological services. All of their technical expertise, talent development efforts, and equipment investments are dedicated to hair transplantation, giving them unparalleled specialization in the industry.
Currently, The Black Hair Transplant has branches in Seoul Gangnam, Daegu, and Gwangju, serving the entire country of Korea.

Consultation Process
- Step 1: Book a consultation.
Book through BeautsGO, and specify the type of hair loss (hairline/crown/total) and the desired results. - Step 2: First hospital visit. The docto
r will assess the scalp’s condition, determine the causes of hair loss, examine the follicle status using a trichoscope, and analyze the density of donor area follicles. - Step 3: Develop a treatment p
lan. Decide on the surgical technique (FUE/FUT/no shaving), the number of grafts needed, and the design of the hairline. - Step 4: Confirm the quote. The
total cost will be determined based on the chosen surgical plan, the number of grafts, and the technique used. - Step 5: Surgery. Loca
l anesthesia is administered before the procedure, followed by graft extraction, dissection, preparation of the recipient area, and implantation of the grafts (usually taking 6–12 hours, depending on the number of grafts). - Step 6: Postoperative care. Discharge
can be on the same day or the next day. The hospital will provide detailed instructions for care, including washing methods, precautions, and any necessary medications for hair growth. - Step 7: Follow-up appointm
ents. Regular follow-ups are scheduled at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the surgery to monitor the progress of hair growth.

Patient Experience
The overall atmosphere at The Black Hair Transplant clinic is very “professional.” Upon entering, you immediately feel that this is a dedicated hair transplant hospital, free from the various promotional displays commonly found in plastic surgery clinics. The entire environment is highly focused and dedicated to its purpose.
The hospital’s preliminary assessment is extremely thorough: they examine the follicle status under a microscope, accurately calculate the density of the donor area, and carefully determine the direction of the hairline. Every step reflects the professional expertise accumulated over 20 years of experience in this field.
It is important to understand in advance that hair transplant surgery does not produce “immediate results.” The transplanted follicles go through a “shedding phase” (normal hair loss occurs 2-4 weeks after the procedure). Actual new hair growth begins 3-6 months after the surgery, and the final results stabilize only 12 months later. Knowing this timeline is crucial for properly planning your trip to Korea and setting realistic expectations for post-operative outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does hair transplant surgery hurt? A:
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia. There may be some mild discomfort during the injection, but once the anesthesia takes effect, the procedure is virtually pain-free. Although the entire procedure takes some time, patients can rest and use their phones during it—they don’t need to remain tense throughout.
Q: Are the newly grown hairs from the transplant perman
ent? A: The transplanted follicles come from the back of the head. These follicles lack androgen receptors in their genetic makeup, so they retain their androgen-independent characteristics even after being transplanted—theoretically, they are permanent. Of course, this depends on the health of the donor follicles themselves.
Q: What is the difference between female and male hairline transplants?
A: Female hairline transplants generally aim to create a soft, curved line using a relatively small number of grafts; the challenge lies in achieving a natural look. Male procedures typically involve using more grafts to treat receding hairlines or M-shaped baldness, with the focus on density. The Black has extensive experience in both types of treatments.
Q: Can I return to the hotel on the same day after hair transplantation? A: Yes
. Hair transplantation surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, so you can return to the hotel on the same day. However, avoid washing your hair and engaging in strenuous exercise. Return to the hospital on the second day after the surgery for your first wash and care procedures.
Q: How much does a hair transplant approximately cost? A: The cost
of a hair transplant is determined by the number of grafts used, and it is usually quoted per graft. Chinese patients can check the current month’s price list through BeautsGO, or they can directly consult beautsgo6 for detailed quotes.
