Dr. Sung

Head Doctor for Motion Clinic·Motion Clinic

South Korea

Background

Dr. Sung is named on Motion Clinic's site as its Head Doctor, based at the clinic's location in Seocho-gu, in Seoul's Gangnam area 1. The clinic states it has practiced FUE exclusively since its founding in 2003 1. No individual biography, medical school, or qualification year is published for Dr. Sung; one patient testimonial names him as the treating surgeon while a separate testimonial on the same page credits a different doctor, Dr. Bahk, suggesting Motion Clinic is a multi-doctor practice 1.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic states its doctors personally perform anesthesia, graft extraction, and recipient-site incisions, with grafts then placed by nurses under the doctor's supervision 1. Extraction uses soft, dull punches ranging from 0.65 to 1.25mm, and incisions are made with kits ranging from 0.65 to 1.5mm 1. Motion Clinic says single-hair grafts are allocated to the frontal hairline while multi-hair grafts go to the inner scalp for volume, and that grafts are not diced or split 1. It states a density target of up to 55 to 65 grafts per cm2 and a daily capacity of up to 5,000 grafts for shaving FUE or 3,000 for non-shaving FUE, all performed under local anesthesia 1.

Pricing

Motion Clinic prices per graft: 5,500 KRW for shaving FUE and 7,700 KRW for non-shaving FUE 1. It also offers a free online consultation that includes a design mockup made on the client's own submitted photo 1.

Booking and aftercare

The clinic states overseas patients typically stay in Seoul for 5 to 10 days depending on travel origin, with grafts anchored by day 5 and scabs removable, with a haircut possible, by day 10 1. It says it provides free daily post-procedure hair washes during the stay, excluding Sundays and holidays, along with ongoing multilingual contact and progress monitoring after patients return home 1. Motion Clinic also describes a written guarantee targeting a 95% survival rate, with a free redo after one year if survival falls below 90% 1.

Credentials and memberships

Motion Clinic states it is designated by Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare under Article 58 of the Medical Service Act, holding Korean Accreditation Program for Hospitals Serving Foreign Patients (KAHF) certification 1. No individual board membership or professional listing is published for Dr. Sung.
