A high hairline that makes the forehead appear wide, or an M-shaped forehead with an angular look, can easily make one appear harsh or older. This is especially a concern for women. Recently, hair transplant has drawn attention as a way to improve a hairline one is not satisfied with. It was previously performed for the purpose of treating hair loss, but recently it is being applied to address a congenitally wide forehead or an uneven hairline.
A hairline hair transplant is a hair transplant surgery in which hair follicles are harvested from the occipital or temporal region, where genetic hair loss does not occur, and transplanted into the hairline; it plays a very significant role in changing the overall facial image. However, hair transplant surgery is not simply a matter of cutting hair and attaching it. It is a high-difficulty surgery that requires transplanting between existing hairs, and in the case of women, unlike men, the hair in the occipital region that needs to be harvested is often thin, so greater caution is required.
Recently, non-incision hair transplant, in which hair is transplanted directly without incising the occipital region, has drawn attention. In particular, the non-shaving method, which harvests hair follicles without shaving, is highly preferred, because shaving does not leave signs that a hair transplant was done, and there are no concerns about scarring or pain from incision. In addition, since non-shaving, non-incision hairline hair transplant involves carefully selecting and transplanting only healthy hair follicles while visually checking the hairstyle, hair direction, thickness, and so on, it has an excellent graft survival rate and can lead to natural results.
Yoo Hwa-jung, Chief Director of Modi Hair Plant Clinic, advised, "Since non-incision, non-shaving hair transplant has a high level of surgical difficulty, the expertise of the medical team performing the procedure is more important than anything else," and added, "When performed using patented clippers exclusively for non-incision, non-shaving, and the like, it can help achieve a natural hair transplant." He also added, "It is important to choose a hospital that can raise the graft survival rate through systematic aftercare and continuous regular check-ups following the transplant."
