What is it?

Scalp PRP Therapy involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, processing it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and then injecting that concentrate into the scalp at areas of thinning or hair loss. The growth factors in the platelets stimulate hair follicle activity, improve circulation, and enhance the health of existing hair.

    Why choose Seoul for this treatment?

• Seoul has a high concentration of advanced dermatology and hair-restoration clinics with dedicated programs for PRP hair therapy, including international-patient support.
• Clinics often offer combination treatments (PRP + microneedling, PRP + laser) to boost outcomes.
• Locations such as Gangnam and Apgujeong are well suited for medical tourists: high standards, English-friendly staff, and good accessibility.

    What it’s good for

• Early to moderate pattern hair loss (both men and women) — especially when hair follicles are still present and active.
• Hair thinning due to hormonal changes (postpartum), stress, or scalp health issues.
• Strengthening existing hair, improving scalp circulation, and enhancing hair quality (thickness, density) rather than full transplant in advanced baldness.

    What to expect (Procedure & Aftercare)

  Before treatment:

• Consultation with a hair-specialist/dermatologist to assess scalp condition, hair density, and suitability for PRP.
• Some clinics advise avoiding blood-thinners or heavy alcohol 24 hours before treatment.

  During the session:

• Blood draw → centrifuge processing to isolate PRP.
• Injection of PRP into targeted scalp areas; local numbing or topical cream may be used.
• Session time: often around 30-60 minutes depending on area and additional treatments.

  Aftercare & recovery:

• Minimal downtime; mild redness or tenderness may occur but typically resolves quickly.
• Avoid heavy shampooing, hair-chemicals, vigorous scalp massage for at least 24 hours (or as clinic advises).
• Full results take time: improvements in hair thickness and density often noticed after 3–6 months with multiple sessions.
• Most clinics recommend a series of sessions (e.g., 3–6) spaced several weeks apart followed by maintenance.

    How to choose the right clinic in Seoul

• Ensure the clinic is run by board-certified dermatologists or hair-restoration specialists.
• Ask how the PRP is processed (single-spin vs double-spin) and whether they combine PRP with other modalities (microneedling, laser).
• Review before-and-after photos of patients with similar hair-loss patterns.
• Confirm English language support, international-patient coordination, and transparency about number of sessions and expected results.
• Location & convenience: Clinics in Gangnam/Apgujeong are practical for international visits and follow-ups.
• Make sure aftercare and follow-up are included in the plan (monitoring, supplementary treatments, maintenance).

    Final Word

If you’re dealing with early hair thinning and want a non-surgical, biologically-based option, scalp PRP therapy in Seoul can be a strong choice. With the right clinic, consistent sessions, and realistic expectations, you may see meaningful improvements in hair thickness and scalp health over time.
