Treatment Overview
Pure Growth Factor Scalp Injection Therapy in Korea is an advanced non-surgical hair regeneration treatment designed to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote new hair growth, and strengthen existing hair. This therapy utilizes concentrated growth factors derived from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or stem-cell conditioned media, which are injected directly into the scalp to activate cellular regeneration and follicle revitalization.
Korean clinics specialize in using high-purity, laboratory-processed growth factors to ensure maximum efficacy, safety, and minimal side effects. This treatment is particularly effective for early-stage hair loss, thinning hair, or weakened follicles.
Purpose & Benefits
The main goal is to enhance follicle activity and promote natural hair regrowth.
Key Benefits:
- Stimulates dormant or miniaturized hair follicles
- Strengthens existing hair and reduces shedding
- Promotes thicker and denser hair growth
- Improves scalp microcirculation and nutrient delivery
- Supports keratin synthesis and follicle health
- Non-surgical, safe, and minimally invasive
- Can be combined with mesotherapy, PRP, or stem-cell therapies for enhanced results
- Improves overall scalp health and hair aesthetics
Ideal Candidates
This therapy is suitable for:
- Individuals with early-stage hair thinning or diffuse hair loss
- Men and women experiencing weakened hair follicles
- Patients seeking non-surgical regenerative hair treatment

Treatment Process in Korea
1. Scalp Diagnosis
Dermatologists assess hair density, follicle condition, and scalp health using high-resolution imaging.
2. Scalp Cleansing
The scalp is cleansed to remove oils, debris, and dead skin cells.
3. Optional Numbing
Topical anesthetic or cooling devices may be applied for patient comfort.
4. Growth Factor Injection
Pure growth factors are injected into thinning or weak areas to stimulate follicle regeneration and hair growth.
5. Post-Treatment Care
Cooling masks or LED therapy may be applied to reduce redness, inflammation, and promote absorption.
6. Session Duration
Treatment typically lasts 30–45 minutes. Most patients undergo 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 3–6 months for long-term results.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is minimal, and patients can usually resume daily activities immediately.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid washing hair for 12–24 hours post-treatment
- Refrain from heavy exercise, sauna, or swimming for 24 hours
- Do not scratch or rub the treated scalp
- Use mild, clinic-recommended shampoos and topical serums
- Follow any additional clinic instructions for optimal results
Mild redness or tenderness typically resolves within hours.
