Treatment Overview
The Home-Use LLLT Device Prescription in Korea is a clinic-guided program where patients are provided with personalized low-level laser therapy (LLLT) devices for at-home hair regrowth. These devices use red and near-infrared light to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp circulation, and promote healthier, stronger hair.
Korean hair clinics offer comprehensive guidance, including device selection, usage schedules, and ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal results while maintaining safety and efficacy.
Purpose & Benefits
The main purpose of this program is to provide continuous, convenient hair stimulation at home under professional guidance. Key benefits include:
- Stimulates dormant or weakened hair follicles
- Improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to follicles
- Enhances hair density, strength, and thickness
- Reduces shedding and supports healthy hair regrowth
- Safe and non-invasive, designed for long-term use
- Clinic-guided program ensures proper device use and optimal results
- Can be combined with PRP, growth factors, mesotherapy, or other in-clinic treatments for enhanced outcomes
Ideal Candidates
This program is ideal for:
- Individuals with early-stage hair thinning or diffuse hair loss

Treatment Process in Korea
The clinic-guided program involves:

Dermatologists evaluate hair density, follicle activity, and hair thinning patterns using trichoscopy and imaging. - Device Prescription & Instruction
Patients receive a home-use LLLT device and personalized usage schedule. Clinics provide detailed guidance on frequency, duration, and device handling. - At-Home Therapy
Patients use the device as instructed, typically 15–30 minutes per session, 3–5 times per week. - Follow-Up & Monitoring
Regular follow-up visits or virtual check-ins track progress and make adjustments to treatment protocols. - Combination Therapy (Optional)
For enhanced results, patients may combine home-use LLLT with in-clinic PRP, growth factors, mesotherapy, or exosomes.
