PRP Hair Therapy in Seoul

PRP Hair Therapy in Seoul

PRP Hair Therapy is a non-surgical, regenerative treatment offered in Seoul for people experiencing hair thinning, excessive shedding, or early-stage hair loss. By using your own blood’s growth factors, this therapy aims to rejuvenate dormant or weakened hair follicles, improve scalp health, and stimulate new hair growth — helping both men and women achieve thicker, healthier hair.

What Is PRP Hair Therapy?

  • “PRP” means Platelet-Rich Plasma: a concentration of plasma from your own blood, enriched with platelets and growth factors.
  • The process involves drawing a small sample of blood, processing it to isolate the platelet-rich portion, then injecting that concentrated plasma into targeted areas of your scalp.
  • The growth factors deliver signals that support follicle regeneration, improved circulation around hair roots, and healthier hair growth cycles.

What Can PRP Help With?

PRP Hair Therapy is typically used for:

  • Early to moderate hair thinning (male or female pattern baldness)
  • Diffuse thinning or shedding — including stress-related or hormonal hair loss
  • Strengthening weak or thinning hair shafts
  • Improving overall scalp health, especially if the scalp is irritated, inflamed, or lacking circulation
  • Supporting hair quality post-injury, postpartum shedding, or after chemical/heat damage

It’s especially helpful when hair follicles are still present but under-active, rather than in areas of total baldness.

How PRP Works — Mechanism & Benefits

By injecting concentrated platelets and growth factors into the scalp, PRP therapy helps:

  • Stimulate hair follicles to re-enter the active growth phase
  • Increase blood flow and nutrient supply to follicles, supporting healthier growth
  • Strengthen hair shafts — leading to thicker, fuller hair
  • Potentially extend the growth phase (anagen) of existing hairs and reduce shedding
  • Improve scalp environment: reduced inflammation, better circulation, and enhanced tissue repair

Because it uses your own blood, PRP is generally well-tolerated and considered safe — with minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

What to Expect: Treatment Process & Timeline

  • Treatment involves a brief session (often 20-40 minutes): blood draw → centrifuge processing → scalp injections.
  • Many people return to daily life immediately afterward, with little to no downtime.
  • Noticeable results — such as reduced shedding or stronger hair — may begin after a few weeks. More visible thickening and density improvements often appear over 2–3 months.
  • Best results typically require a series of sessions (often several spaced apart), followed by maintenance treatments to sustain growth.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

PRP Hair Therapy is ideal for people who:

  • Are experiencing early or moderate thinning or shedding
  • Still have active hair follicles (not completely bald patches)
  • Prefer a non-surgical approach to hair restoration
  • Want to strengthen existing hair, not necessarily full transplant-level density
  • Are willing to follow up with multiple sessions and maintenance

It may be less effective for long-standing or advanced hair loss where follicles are severely miniaturized or absent.

Advantages & Limitations of PRP Hair Therapy

✅ Advantages

  • Uses your body’s own resources — low risk and minimal invasiveness
  • Supports natural regrowth and scalp health
  • Short treatment time and little downtime
  • Can complement other hair-boosting strategies (nutrition, scalp care, lifestyle)
  • Suitable for both men and women

⚠️ Considerations

  • Not a guaranteed “cure” — response varies by person
  • Works best when hair follicles are dormant but present, not on fully bald areas
  • Requires multiple sessions and maintenance over time
  • Results appear gradually — patience and consistency are important
