Treatment Overview
Hair Follicle Revival Injection (Growth Factor Mix) in Korea is an advanced regenerative therapy designed to rejuvenate weakened or dormant hair follicles. By delivering a specialized mix of growth factors directly into the scalp, this treatment stimulates follicular activity, improves blood circulation, and encourages natural hair regrowth.
Korean clinics utilize high-grade, pharmaceutical-quality growth factors derived from stem cells and bioactive peptides. Combined with precise micro-injection techniques, this therapy is non-surgical, minimally invasive, and ideal for medical tourists seeking effective, fast, and safe hair restoration solutions.
Purpose & Benefits
The primary goal of Hair Follicle Revival Injection is to reactivate dormant follicles and restore hair strength and density.
Key benefits include:
- Reactivation of hair follicle stem cells
- Accelerated hair regrowth and improved hair density
- Strengthened and thicker hair shafts
- Reduced hair shedding and breakage
- Improved scalp microcirculation and hydration
- Anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects on scalp tissue
- Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
- Works well in combination with other treatments like PRP, exosomes, or microneedling
The growth factor mix ensures a synergistic effect, making this therapy one of Korea’s most effective non-surgical hair restoration treatments.
Ideal Candidates
This therapy is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Early to moderate male or female pattern hair loss
- Diffuse hair thinning due to stress, hormonal imbalance, or aging
- Weak or miniaturized hair
- Post-partum hair shedding
- Hair loss caused by inflammation or scalp sensitivity
- Patients preparing for or recovering from hair transplant surgery
- Individuals seeking non-surgical hair restoration with fast, visible results
Patients with completely bald areas or long-term follicle inactivity may need complementary therapies like stem-cell treatment for optimal results.
Possible Risks & Complications
Hair Follicle Revival Injection is generally safe when performed in licensed Korean clinics. Possible temporary side effects include:
- Mild redness or swelling at injection sites
- Pinpoint bruising or tenderness
- Temporary itching or sensitivity
- Minimal risk of infection if post-care instructions are not followed
Korean clinics use sterile equipment and high-quality growth factors, making serious complications extremely rare.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean clinics employ cutting-edge technologies to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal results:
1. Growth Factor Mix
A combination of VEGF, FGF, IGF, KGF, and cytokines tailored to the patient’s scalp condition.
2. Micro-Injection or Nano-Needle Delivery
Ensures precise placement of growth factors at the dermal layer where follicles reside.
3. Optional Combination Therapies
Can be paired with PRP, exosomes, or microneedling for enhanced regenerative effects.
4. Digital Scalp Imaging & Analysis
High-resolution dermoscopy helps assess follicle density, scalp health, and treatment progress.
5. LED or Red-Light Therapy
Used post-procedure to reduce inflammation and accelerate scalp healing.
The combination of high-quality growth factors and precise delivery ensures maximum follicle activation and absorption.
Treatment Process in Korea
The treatment process for international patients in Korea is streamlined and patient-friendly:
- Consultation & Scalp Assessment
Doctors evaluate hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and follicle activity using digital imaging. - Customized Growth Factor Mix Preparation
The clinic selects an optimal mix of growth factors tailored to the patient’s needs. - Topical Numbing (Optional)
A numbing cream may be applied for comfort. - Micro-Injection Procedure
Growth factors are injected precisely into thinning or weak areas of the scalp. - Optional Post-Therapies

Patients receive detailed guidance to maximize results and schedule follow-up sessions.
A typical session lasts 30–60 minutes, with immediate return to normal activities.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is quick and requires minimal downtime:

- Refrain from saunas, heavy sweating, or swimming for 48 hours
- Use gentle, non-medicated shampoos for the first few days
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, or harsh chemicals immediately after treatment

- 2–4 weeks: Reduced shedding and improved scalp texture
- 4–8 weeks: Stronger and thicker hair shafts
- 3 months: Visible increase in hair density
- 4–6 months: Fuller, healthier-looking hair
