Hair Transplant
Korean scalp treatment at a hair clinic, with a doctor's diagnosis first
Korean scalp treatment comes in two kinds, and it helps to know which you are booking. A head spa is relaxation. A hair clinic is medicine: a doctor looks at your scalp under magnification, tells you what kind of hair loss you have, and a session of scaling, scalp injections and light therapy follows. It takes forty to sixty minutes with no anesthesia and no downtime. One session will not regrow hair. What you take home is a diagnosis and a plan.

What she does on your clinic day

At the diagnosis
She translates what the doctor sees on the scope: hair thickness, density, inflammation. She asks the direct question: is this pattern hair loss, stress shedding, or something else?

Choosing the session
Hair clinic menus are long. She explains each step on offer and its price, and she makes it clear that you can take the basic programme.

The plan to take home
She asks the doctor to write down the diagnosis and any recommended medication names, so you can discuss them with a doctor in your own country.

Scalp scope and consultation
Magnified images of several scalp zones, then the doctor explains the diagnosis and options.
0:15
Scaling and cleanse
A scalp peel loosens sebum and dead skin, followed by a wash. This part feels like a head spa.
0:30
Scalp injections or infusion
Small injections of a nutrient or growth-factor solution, or a needle-free infusion if you prefer. Brief stinging.
0:45
Light therapy
Low-level light over the scalp for ten to fifteen minutes. Then you are done.
Typical price in Seoul
The figure on this page is per session. A basic scaling and light programme sits at the lower end. Sessions with scalp injections or PRP sit higher. Clinics sell ten-session packages to locals, which make no sense for a short visit. Pay for a single session. If the doctor thinks surgery is the realistic answer, they will point you to an FUE hair transplant.
- Your hair is thinning or shedding more than it used to, and you want a specialist to look at it
- You have an oily, flaky or irritated scalp
- You are thinking about a transplant later and want to know where you stand first
- You are visiting Seoul anyway and have an hour to spare
