Treatment Overview
Scalp Scaling Therapy, also known as Deep Cleansing Therapy, is a professional treatment in Korea that removes dead skin, excess sebum, dandruff, and impurities from the scalp. When combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy, this approach provides dual benefits: a clean, healthy scalp and growth-factor-rich stimulation for hair follicles.
This combination is particularly effective for hair thinning, early-stage hair loss, and post-transplant scalp care, optimizing both follicle health and hair density.
Purpose & Benefits
Combining scalp scaling with PRP therapy offers several advantages:
- Optimal Follicle Environment: Removes debris and oil, allowing PRP to penetrate effectively
- Enhanced Hair Growth: Growth factors in PRP stimulate dormant follicles and promote new hair growth
- Reduced Hair Shedding: Strengthens existing hair and supports scalp recovery
- Improved Hair Density and Texture: Encourages thicker, healthier hair strands
- Reduced Scalp Inflammation: Cleansing and PRP reduce irritation and support scalp health
- Synergistic Effects with Other Treatments: Works well with Minoxidil, Dutasteride, or laser therapy
Patients experience faster and more noticeable results than with PRP or scalp scaling alone.
Ideal Candidates
This combination therapy is suitable for:
- Individuals with diffuse thinning or receding hairline
- Patients experiencing hair shedding due to clogged or oily scalp
- Post-hair transplant patients seeking faster graft healing and improved density
- Those looking for long-term scalp health and stronger hair follicles
- Individuals aiming for maximized results from PRP therapy
Korean clinics provide customized treatment plans based on scalp type, hair density, and hair loss patterns.
Possible Risks & Complications
While generally safe, potential risks may include:
- Mild scalp redness or irritation following scaling or PRP injection
- Temporary swelling or tingling at injection sites
- Mild dryness or flaking after exfoliation
- Rare allergic reactions to topical serums or growth factors
Korean clinics minimize risks through personalized treatment intensity and careful post-procedure monitoring.
Techniques & Technology Used
Advanced techniques for this combined therapy include:
- Mechanical or Enzymatic Scalp Exfoliation: Clears sebum and dead skin for better PRP absorption
- PRP Preparation and Injection: Patient’s blood is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors
- Scalp Massage Devices: Enhance circulation and support follicle activation
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Optional adjunct for further stimulation
- Digital Scalp Imaging: Monitors progress and documents follicle response
These technologies ensure healthy follicles and optimized hair restoration results.
Treatment Process in Korea
The typical process involves:
- Scalp Assessment: Evaluate scalp condition, hair density, and follicle health
- Deep Cleansing Session: Mechanical or enzymatic exfoliation to remove buildup
- PRP Therapy: Platelet-rich plasma is injected into targeted areas to stimulate growth
- Optional Adjunct Treatments: Laser therapy or nutrient infusions for enhanced outcomes
- Follow-Up Sessions: Every 3–4 weeks to maintain scalp health and monitor hair growth
- Progress Tracking: Digital imaging ensures visible improvements and adjusts the therapy plan
This structured approach maximizes the synergistic effect of scalp scaling and PRP therapy.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is generally straightforward but following proper aftercare is essential:
- Avoid washing or applying chemicals to the scalp for 24–48 hours
- Use clinic-recommended mild shampoos and serums
- Avoid excessive heat, sun exposure, and chemical treatments
- Maintain hydration and a nutrient-rich diet to support hair growth
- Attend scheduled follow-ups to monitor progress
Adhering to these instructions ensures safe recovery and long-lasting hair restoration results.
Results & Longevity
Patients typically observe:
- Immediate: Clean, refreshed scalp and initial follicle stimulation
- 2–4 Weeks: Reduced hair shedding, healthier scalp, and improved circulation
- 1–3 Months: Noticeable hair growth along thinning areas and improved hair texture
- 6–12 Months: Enhanced hair density, thicker strands, and strong follicle activation
- Beyond 12 Months: Long-term maintenance of hair growth when combined with proper follow-up sessions
This combination provides sustainable, visible improvements when maintained properly.
