Treatment Overview
Thinning Hair PRP Therapy in Korea is a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution designed to treat hair loss, strengthen weak hair follicles, and improve overall hair density. This therapy uses the patient’s own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors. These platelets are then injected into the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve circulation, and enhance hair strength and thickness.
Korean clinics are internationally recognized for delivering this treatment using advanced PRP systems, precision injection techniques, and innovative combination therapies, making it one of the most effective non-surgical hair restoration solutions available today.
Purpose & Benefits
The main objective of Thinning Hair PRP Therapy is to stimulate hair regrowth, increase hair density, and strengthen existing hair strands. Key benefits include:
- Activation of dormant hair follicles for new hair growth
- Improved hair density, thickness, and volume
- Strengthening of existing hair to reduce breakage and shedding
- Enhanced scalp blood circulation for better nutrient delivery to follicles
- Non-invasive treatment with minimal discomfort and downtime
- Can be combined with microneedling, laser therapy, or topical growth factors for enhanced results
- Helps slow or prevent further hair thinning while promoting long-term scalp health
This therapy is ideal for individuals experiencing early-stage hair thinning, diffuse hair loss, or weakened hair follicles who prefer a natural, non-surgical solution.
Ideal Candidates
Thinning Hair PRP Therapy is suitable for:
- Men and women with diffuse hair thinning or mild-to-moderate hair loss
- Patients with weakened or miniaturized hair follicles
- Individuals seeking a non-surgical and natural hair restoration option
- Those with healthy scalp tissue, as functional follicles are necessary for PRP effectiveness
- International patients seeking highly advanced MedSpa hair restoration treatments in Korea
Possible Risks & Complications
PRP therapy is generally safe because it uses the patient’s own blood. Temporary side effects may include:
- Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at injection sites
- Slight bruising or itching
- Temporary tingling or discomfort during injections
- Rare risk of infection if post-treatment care is not properly followed
Korean clinics minimize risks through sterile procedures, expert injection techniques, and detailed post-treatment instructions, ensuring patient safety and comfort.
Surgical Techniques Used
Although Thinning Hair PRP Therapy is non-surgical, Korean clinics utilize advanced PRP preparation methods and precise injection techniques to maximize effectiveness. Techniques include:
- PRP Preparation – Automated centrifuges isolate platelet-rich plasma with enhanced growth factor concentration
- Scalp Mapping – Identifying thinning areas for precise PRP delivery
- Microinjections – Growth factor-rich plasma is injected directly into affected follicles
- Combination Therapies – Microneedling, low-level laser therapy, or topical growth factors may be used to boost results
- Korean Innovations – Use of platelet boosters and customized PRP concentrations tailored to individual scalp conditions
These methods ensure effective follicle stimulation, improved hair density, and scalp rejuvenation, and Korea is considered a top destination for hair restoration due to its cutting-edge technology, experienced dermatologists, and internationally recognized standards.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Minimal downtime; normal daily activities can be resumed immediately
- Mild redness or tenderness may persist for a few hours
- Avoid washing hair or using harsh chemicals for 24–48 hours
- Gentle scalp care is recommended to prevent irritation
- Multiple sessions (usually 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart) are recommended for optimal results
Results & Longevity
- Early signs of hair thickening and growth may appear within 2–3 months
- Noticeable improvement in hair density, thickness, and scalp health after 3–4 sessions
- Maximum results are typically achieved after 4–6 sessions, depending on hair condition
- Effects last 6–12 months, with maintenance treatments recommended for long-term hair health
- Promotes stronger, thicker hair shafts and revitalized follicles
Treatment Process in Korea
The treatment begins with a consultation and scalp assessment to evaluate hair density, scalp condition, and follicle health. Blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets. The scalp is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. PRP is delivered via microinjections into targeted thinning areas. Optional adjunct therapies, such as microneedling or topical growth factors, may be applied to enhance results. Patients receive post-treatment care instructions, including scalp care and follow-up scheduling.
Cost Range
Pricing depends on clinic, session type, and combination therapies. A single session typically costs 300,000 – 650,000 KRW (≈ USD 230 – 500). Advanced sessions with growth factor add-ons range from 700,000 – 1,300,000 KRW (≈ USD 540 – 1,000). Full treatment packages of 3–6 sessions usually cost 1,600,000 – 3,200,000 KRW (≈ USD 1,200 – 2,450). Korean clinics are preferred by international patients due to expert dermatologists, advanced PRP systems, and personalized treatment plans.
