$200 per session for multi-modal hair growth therapy. Minoxidil alone costs $30/month and addresses one mechanism. This addresses five simultaneously.
The Korean philosophy
Korean medicine approaches hair loss holistically — it’s not just about the hair follicle, but about the scalp ecosystem. Blood circulation, sebum balance, inflammation, and nutrient delivery all affect hair growth. Korean hair growth therapy addresses every factor simultaneously rather than targeting one mechanism. It’s the Korean skincare layering philosophy applied to your scalp.
The ritual
Scalp analysis
5 minA specialized microscope camera examines your scalp at 200x magnification, revealing follicle density, hair thickness, sebum levels, and scalp condition. Photos are saved for progress tracking across sessions.
Deep scalp cleanse
10 minA professional scalp cleanser removes buildup, excess sebum, and dead skin that may be suffocating follicles. This step alone can improve hair growth by clearing the path for new hairs.
Growth factor serum
8 minA concentrated growth factor serum containing copper peptides, biotin, caffeine, and saw palmetto is applied directly to the scalp. The serum is massaged in, targeting areas of thinning.
Scalp massage
15 minA deep, targeted scalp massage improves blood circulation to the hair follicles. Korean technique focuses on specific pressure points that correspond to hair growth zones. This is deeply relaxing and many clients fall asleep.
LED light therapy
15 minA red LED helmet or panel (650nm wavelength) is placed over the scalp. The light energy stimulates cellular activity in hair follicles, extending the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.
Finishing treatment
5 minA lightweight, non-greasy scalp tonic is applied as a leave-in treatment to continue nourishing follicles between sessions.
Your first time
The scalp microscope analysis is fascinating — you’ll see your follicles magnified 200x on a screen. The deep cleanse feels invigorating, like a thorough shampoo. The growth factor serum may tingle slightly on the scalp. The massage portion is deeply relaxing — imagine the best head scratch of your life lasting 15 minutes. The LED helmet sits on your head while you relax. No pain at any point. You leave with a clean, refreshed scalp. Don’t expect instant results — hair grows slowly. The first sign of progress is usually reduced shedding at 4-6 weeks, followed by visible new growth at 8-12 weeks.
When to book
Start early — hair growth therapy works best when follicles are still active. Weekly sessions for 8-12 weeks, then biweekly maintenance. Commit to at least 3 months before judging results. Spring is a great time to start as hair naturally enters a growth phase. Combine with a healthy diet and stress management for best results.

East vs West
Western hair loss treatment tends to be either pharmaceutical (minoxidil, finasteride) or procedural (PRP, transplant). Korean hair growth therapy combines multiple modalities — LED, massage, growth factors, scalp care — in every session for a holistic approach. Korean clinics also include scalp health as part of the equation, not just hair follicle stimulation.
Aftercare
Don’t wash your hair for 12 hours after treatment to let the growth factor serum work. Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on follicles. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Scalp massage at home between sessions helps maintain blood flow. Be patient — hair growth is slow but cumulative.
