When Himedi Recommends a Hair Spa in Korea
Interest in scalp health is growing fast among Americans. Many now look for K-beauty haircare products or book hair spa sessions at hair salons during their stay in Korea.
Himedi takes a different path.
We draw a clear line between general beauty care and medical care, and partner only with clinics that offer medical expertise. When it comes to scalp and hair health, there are two main categories:
- Hair transplantation, and
- Non-surgical hair loss treatments.
Non-surgical options fall into two approaches — Western and Korean traditional (Oriental) medicine. Western treatments include medications such as Minoxidil, topical solutions, growth factor and nutrient injections, and stem cell therapy.
Among these, stem cell therapy for hair loss is gaining the most attention. It’s now the third most requested treatment among Himedi clients, right after health checkups and facial anti-aging programs.
One of our key partners is Hair On, a boutique medical clinic run by neurology and internal medicine specialists. Hair On focuses on finding the root cause of scalp and hair concerns through precise diagnostics and delivering medical-grade solutions. Their philosophy aligns with Himedi’s values and expertise.
Below is an English translation of Hair On’s FAQ on stem cell therapy for hair loss.
Q1. How are stem cells effective for hair loss?
The stem cells and growth factors contained in the solution stimulate the division and activation of dormant hair-follicle cells, transforming them into healthy, active follicles.
Through this process, stem cells enhance follicle regeneration and promote new hair growth, increasing both density and thickness.
Q2. What is the difference between PRP and Hair On’s stem cell treatment?
Compared to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, Hair On’s stem cell solution contains two to three times more platelets and growth factors, providing a much stronger regenerative effect on follicle cells.
In addition to stimulating cell division, Hair On’s treatment has shown higher effectiveness even for advanced or resistant types of hair loss.
Q3. Is the stem cell treatment painful?
Traditional injections can cause mild pain or discomfort.
However, Hair On uses a needle-free device called the Mirajet Laser Injector, which delivers the stem cell solution precisely to the follicle level using controlled laser pressure — without needles.
This allows for accurate delivery with minimal pain or anxiety, making the procedure comfortable and stress-free for patients.
Q4. Are there any side effects from stem cell treatment?
Hair On uses stem cells extracted from the patient’s own blood, rather than donor-derived cells.
Because the treatment uses autologous (self-derived) stem cells, it minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or immune-related side effects.
This personalized approach ensures both safety and compatibility with each patient’s body.
Q5. How often should I receive stem cell treatment, and how many sessions are recommended?
Hair On generally recommends one session per month. The total number of sessions depends on the stage and type of hair loss, as well as the scalp’s overall condition.
After your initial consultation and scalp analysis, the clinic director will determine the ideal treatment interval and total number of sessions to achieve the best possible results.
Q6. How long do the hair growth effects last after treatment?
When stem cell therapy is properly tailored to the patient, the hair growth effects typically last for about one to two years.
For even longer-lasting results, Hair On recommends combining the procedure with its CHECK injection program, mesotherapy, and prescribed medication, which together create a synergistic effect for sustained scalp and hair health.
✨ Hair On Clinic’s stem cell hair loss treatment offers a scientifically proven, minimally invasive solution for both men and women — and it’s one of the most popular programs among Himedi customers visiting Korea.
