No, there are none. This is the strongest differentiator and the pride of Dr. Lee's Method.

The biggest concern with conventional hair loss drugs is 'hormonal side effects.' However, Lee Moon Won’s treatments do not use chemical hormone inhibitors (such as Finasteride) at all. They consist of 100% clinically proven natural herbal ingredients.

Therefore, common side effects of chemical drugs—such as decreased libido, depression, chronic fatigue, or gynecomastia—do not occur. Additionally, the 'Shedding Effect' (rapid hair loss at the start of treatment) rarely occurs, so there is no burden in starting the treatment.

Many patients actually experience the following improvements in their general health during treatment:

• Recovery from fatigue and increased vitality
• Improved sleep quality (relief from insomnia)
• (For women) Relief from menstrual pain and regulation of cycles
• Improved digestion and clearer complexion

It is also safe for women preparing for pregnancy or breastfeeding to use without worry.

Considering the biological cycle of hair cell replacement, we recommend a minimum of 6 months of treatment.

Hair does not grow overnight. 'Absolute time' is required for old hair to fall out and for new hair cells to be generated and grow long enough to be visible.

• Early Stage (2–4 months): The treatment response begins. The amount of daily hair loss decreases noticeably, and scalp conditions such as dandruff, itching, and redness improve significantly.
• Middle Stage (5–6 months): Changes in the hair begin. Hair loss remains stabilized, and new vellus hair (baby hair) can be seen emerging from the pores with the naked eye.
• Late Stage (9–15 months): The treatment effect peaks. Baby hair thickens into terminal hair, and the actual density and thickness of the hair improve significantly.

Therefore, it takes at least 6 months to stop hair loss, and 9 to 15 months for noticeable hair growth and thickness improvement. It typically takes about 1 year and 6 months to reach the 'Stabilization Phase' where the effects are fully established to prevent recurrence.

※ Note: If the duration of hair loss has been long, the area is large, or the patient's age is higher, the hair regeneration rate may be slower, and the treatment period may be longer.

Yes, fundamental treatment is possible without steroids.

Many people mistake alopecia areata for a simple 'scalp skin disease,' but it is actually an 'Autoimmune Disorder' caused by your immune cells mistakenly attacking your own hair follicles.

[Dr. Lee’s Immune Regulation Therapy]
Our treatment does not forcibly suppress the immune system, but is an 'Immune Regulation Therapy' that helps the malfunctioning immune system regain its balance on its own.

• Normalization of the Immune System: It resets the disrupted immune system so that immune cells no longer attack the hair.
• Safe Patented Ingredients: Using patented natural ingredients instead of steroids, it is safe even for long-term treatment without skin atrophy or systemic side effects. It can also be safely applied to pediatric alopecia areata.
• Recurrence Prevention: Since the body's immunity is restored, the recurrence rate is significantly lower.

Yes, absolutely. While ethnicities differ, the 'physiological structure of hair' is identical for all humans.

Lee Moon Won Clinic has accumulated global clinical data by treating tens of thousands of international patients from over 70 countries over the past 20 years.

Hair density, thickness, curl patterns, and hair care cultures may vary by race. However, the fundamental mechanisms of hair loss—scalp inflammation, decline in hair growth function, nutrient deficiency in follicles, immune system malfunction, and aging—are the same regardless of race.

Based on extensive clinical experience, Dr. Lee provides 'Race-Optimized Prescriptions' that consider these unique characteristics. For example, we provide customized treatments focusing on oil-moisture balance for Black patients with dry, curly hair, and root strengthening for Caucasian patients with fine, thin hair.

Yes, it is possible. You can receive high-quality medical care from Lee Moon Won Clinic anywhere in the world, right from your home.

We already have a 'Global Tele-Consultation System' in place. By analyzing scalp photos, online medical forms, blood test results, and conducting video consultations if necessary, our medical staff performs a direct analysis and issues a prescription at the same level as a physical visit.

• Precision Diagnosis: Medical staff thoroughly assess the patient's condition without space or time constraints.
• Global Shipping: Prescribed custom treatments and home care products are delivered quickly and safely to your doorstep via global expresses like DHL and FedEx.
• Continuous Management: We don't just send the medicine. We conduct periodic 'Online Check-ups' to monitor treatment progress and address any questions.

We have a secure online payment system (credit cards, etc.) ready, so you can start your treatment without worrying about the distance.

The primary difference is between 'Support' and 'Treatment.' Dr. Lee’s internal medicine is not a health functional food that anyone can buy, but a 'Medical-Grade Natural Medicine' prescribed by a doctor after a diagnosis.

While commercial products fill nutritional gaps or simply suppress specific mechanisms, Lee Moon Won’s treatment employs a multi-targeting therapeutic mechanism.

• Complex Therapeutic Efficacy: Beyond just providing nutrition, it performs powerful pharmacological actions: eliminating scalp inflammation, blocking the binding of DHT to follicles, amplifying blood flow to pores, and directly activating hair follicle stem cells.
• 1:1 Customized Prescription: Every patient has different causes of hair loss, digestive capacities, current illnesses, and other medications. We consider all these variables to prescribe a 'unique medicine' with adjusted ingredients and ratios for optimal absorption.

Conventional chemical drugs work by inhibiting male hormones (DHT) or forcibly expanding blood vessels. In contrast, Dr. Lee’s Method is a 'Natural Holistic Hair Restoration' that restores the bodily functions governing hair growth and focuses on the regeneration of the hair itself.

Instead of artificial hormonal suppression, we use natural ingredients to treat scalp inflammation and prevent pore atrophy, allowing pores to function normally again. Furthermore, it stimulates hair growth factors and stabilizes autonomic nervous system imbalances caused by stress, making 'the body grow hair on its own' by restoring physical balance.

This is not a treatment where hair falls out again as soon as you stop the medication; it is a fundamental treatment that creates a healthy scalp and a sustainable hair growth environment.

The core focus is not on the concentration of hormones in the blood, but on adjusting the 'Sensitivity of the Receptors.'

Dr. Lee’s treatment does not artificially reduce male hormones (DHT). Instead, it lowers the sensitivity of the DHT receptors in the hair follicles, increasing their 'defensive power' so that the follicles are not affected even when DHT attacks.

• Accurate Approach to the Cause: Male pattern hair loss is not caused by having too much DHT in the body. The real cause is how 'hypersensitive' the follicle receptors are to DHT. If receptors are hypersensitive, even normal hormone levels cause the follicles to shrink (miniaturization) and eventually fall out.
• Safe Mechanism: Finasteride forcibly reduces DHT throughout the blood, which risks disrupting the hormonal balance of the entire body. In contrast, Dr. Lee’s treatment maintains normal hormone levels while weakening the 'Binding Affinity' so that receptors do not easily combine with DHT.
• Side-Effect-Free Treatment: Therefore, hair loss is effectively suppressed without the side effects caused by systemic hormone inhibition, such as decreased libido, depression, gynecomastia, or chronic fatigue. This is our unique principle: protecting a man's vitality while protecting his hair.

Yes, it can be treated. Many people give up, thinking "it's genetic, so there's nothing I can do," but genetics only represent a 'tendency (probability)' for hair loss—they are not an 'inescapable fate.'

I often compare this to cancer. Cancer is also heavily influenced by family history, but we don't say "treatment is impossible because you have the gene." If detected early and managed through treatment and lifestyle changes, you can regain health. Hair loss is the same.

According to a study by Dr. Bahman Guyuron, there are numerous cases where one identical twin has thick hair while the other experiences severe hair loss. The reason for this difference is the 'Postnatal Environment.' Factors like sleep deprivation, stress, smoking, scalp inflammation, and nutritional imbalances determine whether the 'hair loss gene' switch is turned ON or OFF.

This is the core of our treatment. We cannot change your DNA, but we can change the 'Internal Environment' where that DNA is expressed. By healthy re-designing (Body Recoding) the state of your body and scalp so the hair loss gene cannot remain active, even genetic hair loss can be significantly improved and maintained.
