The Hair Transplantation Center at Kyungpook National University Hospital (KNUH) the first hair transplantation center in Korea, was established at a university hospital in 1996. With the support of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and city of Daegu, as the “Support and funding project for local leaders in outstanding medical technology”, the center moved to the current location in 2011.

The follicular unit hair transplantation technique, developed by Professor Jung-Chul Kim, makes it possible to transplant 1,500-2,000 hairs per hour. With this technique, the survival rate of transplanted hairs exceeds 92%, thus guaranteeing the most natural looking result.

Physicians receive ongoing education about new technology and current information at the Center. About 150 Korean and 30 foreign doctors have visited the Center to learn this technique.
