Treatment Overview
Laser + PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Combination Protocol is an advanced non-surgical treatment for hair loss that combines low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with PRP injections. LLLT stimulates cellular activity, improves scalp blood circulation, and energizes dormant follicles, while PRP delivers concentrated growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood to promote follicle regeneration and strengthen hair roots.
In Korea, this combination protocol is highly popular in dermatology and hair restoration clinics due to its proven effectiveness, safety, and ability to accelerate hair regrowth in both men and women.
Purpose & Benefits
The main purpose of the Laser + PRP Combination Protocol is to enhance follicular activation and maximize hair regrowth. Key benefits include:
- Stimulates dormant and miniaturized hair follicles
- Improves scalp circulation and nutrient delivery
- Strengthens existing hair and promotes thicker growth
- Reduces shedding and hair loss progression
- Enhances scalp health and reduces inflammation
- Supports faster recovery after hair transplant or hair loss procedures
- Painless, non-invasive, and low-risk
- Produces faster and more significant results compared to either treatment alone
This combination therapy is ideal for those seeking noticeable improvement in hair density and overall scalp health.
Ideal Candidates
This treatment is suitable for:
- Men and women with androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss)
- Individuals with thinning hair or weakened follicles
- Patients looking for accelerated regrowth results
- People recovering from hair transplant surgery to improve graft survival
- Patients with scalp inflammation or poor circulation
- Medical tourists seeking a safe, non-surgical hair restoration solution in Korea
It may not be effective for patients with completely inactive follicles or advanced baldness.
Possible Risks & Complications
Laser + PRP Combination Protocol is generally very safe when performed by trained professionals. Possible minor risks include:
- Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at injection sites
- Slight scalp warmth or tingling from laser therapy
- Temporary hair shedding as the follicles enter a new growth cycle
- Rare sensitivity reactions
Korean clinics perform detailed scalp analysis and consultation prior to treatment to minimize risks and ensure safety.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean clinics use advanced devices and protocols for this combination therapy:
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) with wavelengths between 630–650 nm (red light) and 808–830 nm (near-infrared)
- PRP injections prepared from autologous blood, enriched with growth factors to stimulate follicle regeneration
- Multi-laser array devices for full scalp coverage
- Scalp microinjection techniques for precise PRP delivery
- KFDA-approved medical-grade lasers and PRP preparation systems
- Digital scalp imaging to monitor progress and optimize treatment plans
This combination ensures maximum follicle stimulation, improved blood flow, and enhanced overall scalp health.
Treatment Process in Korea
The typical treatment process is structured and patient-focused:
- Consultation & Scalp Analysis
A dermatologist or hair specialist examines scalp density, follicle health, and hair loss pattern using trichoscopy and high-definition imaging. - Preparation
Scalp cleansing is performed, and blood is drawn for PRP preparation. - Laser Session
LLLT is applied for 15–20 minutes to stimulate follicular activity and improve circulation. - PRP Injection
Microinjections of PRP are delivered into targeted scalp areas. - Post-Treatment Care
Cooling gels or soothing serums may be applied to calm the scalp. - Follow-Up Plan
Clinics usually recommend 6–12 sessions depending on the severity of hair loss.
Korean clinics offer English support and ensure international patients understand the treatment timeline and after-care instructions.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is minimal with this protocol. Recommended after-care includes:
- Avoiding harsh hair products or chemicals for 24–48 hours
- Using gentle, clinic-recommended scalp tonics or serums
- Staying hydrated and maintaining proper nutrition
- Regular follow-up sessions for optimal results
- Protecting the scalp from excessive sun exposure
Patients typically resume normal activities immediately.
Results & Longevity
Patients often notice improvements in hair density, thickness, and reduced shedding within 4–6 weeks. Full results are generally visible after 3–6 months of consistent treatment. Expected outcomes include:
- Stronger and thicker hair strands
- Increased follicle activity and density
- Healthier scalp environment
- Enhanced recovery for post-transplant follicles
- Slowed hair loss progression
Long-term maintenance sessions every 1–3 months are recommended to sustain results.
