I set a goal for myself a few years ago to start doing things to improve myself inside and out. One of the things wanted to do in my journey of self-improvement was to restore my hair. Seoul Medical Guide and Root Hair Clinic helped me achieve this goal with confidence, ease, and medically positive results. I began my journey online through Seoul Medical Guide, which connected me with Sam. Sam was my go-to person for all information regarding Root Hair Clinic. They provided me with all the necessary details before I made my journey from the US to South Korea for the procedure. Upon arriving in South Korea, I had a final consultation with Zahid, the clinic manager, who translated everything between me and Dr. Lee Yun Joo. The doctor took the time to answer all my questions and did not make me feel rushed, which was very reassuring. Zahid, from the surgery going forward, was my point of contact for any questions. He was very kind and patient and always got back to me in a timely manner with any inquiries. On the day of the surgery, the only painful part was the anesthesia shot. I had prepared for it by reading other people's reviews, and I would compare the pain to going to the dentist and getting a shot of Novocaine in the gums before a procedure. It was a slight pinch and uncomfortable, but tolerable. After a minute or two, it was completely numb, and I felt nothing. I’m currently two weeks post-op and just got my stitches taken out. The surgery I had was a FUT/FUE combo to get the maximum amount of hair possible. I was so nervous about having this procedure, but I’m so thankful to Seoul Medical Guide, Root Hair Clinic, Sam, Zahid, Dr. Lee Yun Joo, and their whole team for taking such good care of me and putting all my nerves at ease. I don’t regret my decision to go on this journey one bit. I have other things lined up for myself through Seoul Medical Guide for this winter, so I look forward to while I’m back in South Korea to stop back and see Zahid and give an in-person update on my hair growth. Update: It has now been over 6 months since my surgery and I decided to add a before and after photo to show my results Latest update as of 07-18-2025: It’s been 1 year since I’ve had my surgery. I’ve added two more photos to show my results after 1 year that I just took as of this date. My life has been forever changed and so thankful for Root Hair Clinic for giving my confidence back! If you’re thinking about doing it…don’t wait book your appointment now! It will forever change your life ❤️

In December, I underwent an FUE hair transplant at Root Hair Clinic, which surpassed all expectations. The procedure was painless, thanks to their skilled team and advanced technology. The doctor was experienced and reassuring, guiding me through each step with ease. The staff, including the English team led by Zahid, was warm, attentive, and dedicated, ensuring a comfortable experience from start to finish. Zahid, in particular, was very friendly and put a lot of effort into ensuring everything went well. The most discomfort I can think of was the injection to numb the scalp, which lasted maybe 20 seconds. It was very mild. Aftercare was pretty simple. Although it was only a few months ago, I don't remember much besides being gentle when cleaning the graft and donor area. In South Korea, language barriers aren't a big deal. Many speak English, and there are translation apps and helpful locals if you need to communicate in Korean. Getting around and interacting is usually easy, even if you're not fluent! As someone from North America, friends and family might express worry due to their exposure to news, which tends to sensationalize the political situation with North Korea. However, it is like background noise. South Koreans are used to occasional tensions, and with their focus on daily life and development, it's more of a nuisance than a real concern. Just thought I might mention this because it was a worry before leaving home, but was quashed a few days upon arrival. Overall, Root Hair Clinic provided exceptional care, making the hair transplant process smooth and efficient. I highly recommend them to anyone considering such a procedure. Thanks again so much, guys. I'm really happy with the results.
