The fundamental purpose is different. While regular spas focus on "Cleansing" and "Relaxation," Dr. Lee's Medical Head Spa is an "Extension of Medical Treatment."

Established in 2005, our Medical Head Spa is a "Scalp Rehabilitation Program" that combines 1,000 years of traditional Korean medical wisdom with modern science. Here are the three key differences:

• Medical Grade Signature Formula: Unlike cosmetic products used in salons, we use the same high-concentration medicinal ingredients prescribed for treating hair loss patients.
• 16x Deeper Penetration Technology: Even the best ingredients are useless if they don't penetrate. We utilize advanced equipment (Ultrasound & Iontophoresis) that amplifies the absorption rate by up to 16 times compared to manual application.
• Diagnosis-Based Procedure: The entire process is prescribed by medical staff based on your diagnosis, and performed by highly skilled therapists who adjust techniques to suit your specific scalp condition.

In short, this is not just a spa session; it is a "Healing Process" designed to restore your scalp to its healthiest state.

• Herbal Medicine (Internal Treatment): It restores the body's internal balance and generates the "fundamental power (vitality)" needed to produce hair. It effectively repairs a broken engine so it can run powerfully again.
• Head Spa & Topicals (External Treatment): These treatments ensure that the energy created inside the body is delivered efficiently to the scalp. They clear the scalp environment, allowing hair to break through easily.

The two must go together. Even with a powerful engine (Medicine), the car cannot move if the road is blocked (Scalp issues). Therefore, when you combine Internal and External treatments, you achieve perfect harmony inside and out, resulting in the fastest recovery speed and maximized results.

Yes, absolutely. While racial characteristics differ, the "Physiological Structure of Hair" remains the same across all human beings.

Over the past 20 years, Dr. Lee Moon Won has treated tens of thousands of patients from over 70 countries, accumulating global clinical data.

It is true that hair density, thickness, and texture (curl pattern) vary by race. However, the fundamental root causes of hair loss?such as scalp inflammation, lack of nutrition to follicles, and immune system malfunction?are universal.

Dr. Lee Moon Won possesses extensive data on these diverse scalp characteristics and provides "Race-Optimized Prescriptions." For example, we customize treatments to enhance moisture and oil balance for Afro-textured hair which tends to be dry, or focus on strengthening the hair root for fine Caucasian hair.

Yes, absolutely. You can receive high-quality medical care from Dr. Lee Moon Won Clinic from the comfort of your home, anywhere in the world.

We are fully equipped with a "Global Tele-Consultation System." Through scalp photos, online questionnaires, blood test results, and video consultations (if necessary), our medical team directly analyzes your condition to provide a prescription and diagnosis that matches the precision of an in-person visit.

• Precision Diagnosis: Our medical team thoroughly assesses your condition without time or geographical limitations.
• Global Shipping: Your prescribed customized medicines and home care products are delivered safely and quickly to your doorstep via global carriers like DHL and FedEx.
• Continuous Management: We don’t just ship the medicine and stop there. We conduct "Periodic Online Check-ups" to monitor your treatment progress and address any concerns.

With our secure online payment systems (Credit Card, etc.) in place, you can start your treatment journey with complete confidence, no matter the distance.

The fundamental difference lies between "Supplementation" and "Medical Treatment." Dr. Lee’s internal medicine is not a health supplement anyone can buy off the shelf; it is a "Medical Grade Natural Medicine" prescribed only after a doctor’s diagnosis.

While commercial products merely replenish nutrients or block a single pathway, Dr. Lee’s medicine operates on a Multi-Targeting Mechanism:

• Therapeutic Efficacy: It goes beyond simple nutrition. It actively removes scalp inflammation, inhibits the binding of DHT to hair follicles, amplifies blood flow to the roots, and directly activates hair follicle stem cells.
• 1:1 Personalized Prescription: Every patient has different causes for hair loss, digestive capabilities, underlying conditions, and concurrent medications. We consider all these variables to customize the ingredients and formulation, ensuring optimal absorption and efficacy for your specific body.

While conventional chemical drugs work by suppressing male hormones (DHT) or forcibly dilating blood vessels, Dr. Lee Moon Won’s Method is a "Natural Holistic Hair Restoration" that focuses on restoring the bodily functions governing hair growth.

Instead of artificially suppressing hormones, our treatment uses natural ingredients to treat scalp inflammation and prevent follicle atrophy, allowing the pores to function normally again. Furthermore, it balances the body by stimulating the production of hair growth factors and stabilizing autonomic nervous system imbalances caused by stress. Ultimately, it empowers the body to "regrow hair on its own."

This is not a temporary fix where hair falls out again once you stop the medication; it is a fundamental treatment designed to create a healthy scalp environment and sustainable hair growth.

The key lies in regulating "Receptor Sensitivity," not suppressing hormone levels.

Dr. Lee’s treatment does not artificially lower your body's DHT (dihydrotestosterone) levels. Instead, it focuses on lowering the sensitivity of the DHT receptors in the hair follicles, effectively building a "defense system" so that follicles are not affected even in the presence of DHT.

• Targeting the True Cause: Male pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia) is not caused by having "too much" male hormone. It occurs because the DHT receptors in your hair follicles are "hypersensitive" to the hormone. When receptors are overactive, they bind with DHT aggressively, causing the follicles to shrink (Miniaturization) and eventually stop producing hair.
• Safety & Mechanism: Chemical drugs like Finasteride forcibly reduce systemic DHT levels in the blood to stop this binding. However, this disrupts the hormonal balance of the entire body. In contrast, Dr. Lee’s treatment maintains normal hormone levels but reduces the binding affinity of the receptors, making it difficult for DHT to attach to the follicles.
• No Side Effects: Because we do not suppress systemic hormones, patients are free from the common side effects associated with standard drugs, such as sexual dysfunction, depression, gynecomastia, and chronic fatigue. This is Dr. Lee’s unique approach to saving your hair while preserving your masculine vitality.

The treatment works primarily through four key stages:

• First, "Scalp Detoxification": Treats inflammation and flushes out toxins. Scalp inflammation makes it easier for DHT to bind to follicles. Treating inflammation inhibits this binding, achieving a therapeutic effect for male-pattern hair loss without directly suppressing DHT or causing associated side effects.
• Second, "Strengthens and Rebuilds the Scalp Immune System": Prevents inflammation from recurring.
• Third, "Increases Blood Supply to Hair Follicles": Ensures that essential nutrients and various growth factors are efficiently delivered to the roots.
• Fourth, "Reactivates Follicle Stem Cells": Stimulates growth factors to induce hair regeneration. Furthermore, by addressing internal causes such as excessive physical tension or sleep disorders, it improves your overall body condition.

No, there are none. This is the greatest pride and core advantage of Dr. Lee's Method.

The biggest hesitation regarding hair loss medication is often the fear of hormonal side effects. However, Dr. Lee’s treatment strictly excludes chemical hormone suppressors (like Finasteride) and is composed entirely of 100% clinically verified natural ingredients.

Therefore, typical side effects associated with synthetic drugs?such as sexual dysfunction, depression, gynecomastia, or chronic fatigue?do not occur. Furthermore, the "Shedding Phenomenon" (sudden initial hair loss) is rarely observed with our treatment.

As a result, many patients report systemic health improvements during the treatment process, such as:

• Recovery from chronic fatigue and increased vitality
• Improved sleep quality (Relief from insomnia)
• (For women) Alleviation of menstrual pain and regulation of cycles
• Better digestion and clearer skin tone

It is safe enough to be taken by women who are planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Yes, it absolutely can be treated. Many people give up, thinking, "It's genetic, so there's nothing I can do." However, genetics signifies a 'tendency' or 'predisposition,' not an inescapable 'fate.'

Think about cancer. It is also heavily influenced by genetics (family history), but doctors never say, "You have cancer genes, so treatment is impossible." Just as cancer can be treated through early detection, surgery, and lifestyle changes, hair loss works the same way.

A study conducted by Dr. Bahman Guyuron on identical twins revealed that even with the exact same genes, one twin could have a full head of hair while the other suffered from severe hair loss.

Why does this difference occur? The answer lies in the acquired environment. Factors such as lack of sleep, stress, smoking, scalp inflammation, and nutritional imbalance determine whether the "hair loss gene" is switched ON or OFF.

This is the core of Dr. Lee Moon Won’s treatment philosophy. We cannot change your DNA, but we can change the "body environment" in which those genes are expressed. By recoding your body and scalp health to prevent the hair loss gene from becoming active, even genetic hair loss can be significantly improved and maintained.

Yes, there are. I always emphasize nine essential lifestyle rules to patients with hair loss and scalp conditions, which are as follows:

• 1. Get 7-8 hours of sleep: Dr. Lee Moon-won studied the lifestyle differences between patients with and without hair loss. He found that those with hair loss often lacked sleep. In fact, people who slept less than 5 hours a day were six times more likely to have alopecia than those who slept 8 hours. The lowest incidence of hair loss was found in those who slept 7 to 8 hours a day. Dr. Lee Moon-won published a paper on the correlation between hair loss and sleep.
• 2. Treat inflammatory scalp conditions as soon as possible: Various inflammatory scalp conditions can damage hair follicles and make them more sensitive to DHT (a male hormone). This can lead to hair loss, thinning hair, gray hair, or curly hair.
• 3. Dry your scalp immediately after shampooing: If you have dandruff or scalp inflammation, it's crucial to dry your scalp quickly. A wet scalp can easily worsen scalp inflammation and lead to more dandruff and itchiness. Use warm or cool air instead of hot air to dry your scalp.
• 4. Avoid tying your hair tightly: Frequently tying your hair in tight ponytails or using tight clips and bands can cause "traction hairloss" along the hairline and temples. This can lead to a receding hairline and a wider forehead.
• 5. Change your hair part every 6 months: Not changing your hair part can expose the scalp in that area to constant sun and dust, leading to damage and inflammation. This inflammation can damage and shrink hair follicles, which can result in hair loss in that specific area. When you change your part, move it at least 4 cm away from the old one to cover the previously exposed area.
• 6. Take supplements for iron and Vitamin D deficiencies: Iron (Fe) and Vitamin D are essential nutrients for hair growth. A deficiency in these can slowly lead to thinning hair and graying. If you have a deficiency, take supplements regularly and consistently.
• 7. Change your pillowcase every 2-3 days: Pillowcases can harbor many germs, bacteria, and fungi. This environment can cause or worsen skin conditions on your scalp and face, leading to dandruff, itchiness, pimples, and hair shedding. It's best to change your pillowcase frequently, whether it's silk or cotton.
• 8. Lose weight slowly if you are on a diet: It's recommended to lose about 1 to 1.5 kg (2 to 3 pounds) per month. Losing a lot of weight too quickly can lead to hair loss.
• 9. Space out hair dyeing sessions by at least 8 weeks: Frequent dyeing (every 2 to 6 weeks) can irritate the scalp and cause inflammation. Scalp inflammation can damage hair follicles, worsening hair loss and potentially causing gray or curly hair. Bleaching and highlighting, in particular, can be even more damaging to the hair and scalp.

Yes, absolutely. In fact, the proportion of female patients visiting our clinic due to hair loss caused by drastic physical changes?such as childbirth and menopause?is increasing every year.

Unlike male hair loss, female hair loss is rarely caused by a single factor; rather, it results from complex and cumulative causes. These include stress, hormonal shifts (pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, PCOS, etc.), anemia, thyroid dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies from excessive dieting, and more recently, post-COVID-19 complications. These factors accumulate in the body over months or even years, eventually manifesting as or worsening hair loss.

Dr. Lee Moon Won’s Method for female hair loss is specifically designed to align with a woman's "Life Cycle":

• Balancing Hormones and the Autonomic Nervous System: Instead of administering artificial hormones, we correct the imbalance in the autonomic nervous system. This helps the body naturally regain its hormonal balance and build resilience against stress.
• Improving Blood Production and Circulation: We address the core issues of female hair loss: "blood deficiency" and "circulatory disorders." By promoting the production of healthy blood (hematopoiesis) and ensuring its smooth delivery to the follicles, we powerfully induce hair regeneration and growth.
• Safe and Natural Treatment: Since we do not use any artificial drugs?such as steroids or DHT blockers (like Finasteride) which are restricted for women?patients of childbearing age, breastfeeding mothers, and menopausal women can receive treatment with complete peace of mind, free from concerns about side effects.

Considering the biological "Hair Growth Cycle," we recommend a minimum treatment period of 6 months.

Hair does not grow overnight. There is an absolute biological time required for old, damaged hair to shed and for new hair cells to regenerate and grow long enough to be visible.

• Initial Phase (Month 2-4): The body begins to respond. You will notice a significant reduction in shedding, and scalp symptoms such as dandruff, itchiness, and redness will clearly improve.
• Intermediate Phase (Month 5-6): Real change begins. The reduction in hair loss is sustained, and you will start to see fine "new hairs" sprouting from the follicles.
• Advanced Phase (Month 9-12): This is when satisfaction is highest. Fine baby hairs transform into thick, terminal hairs, leading to a tangible improvement in hair density and volume.

Therefore, we recommend at least 6 months to stop the progression of hair loss, and 9 to 12 months for visible regrowth and thickening. Reaching the "Stabilization Phase," where results are solidified to prevent relapse, typically takes about 1.5 years.

Please note: The treatment duration may be longer depending on the severity of the hair loss, how long you have had the condition, and your age.

Yes, it can be treated effectively without steroids.

Many people mistake Alopecia Areata for a simple scalp issue, but strictly speaking, it is an "Autoimmune Disorder" where your immune system malfunctions and attacks your own hair follicles.

[Dr. Lee’s Immune Regulation Therapy]
Dr. Lee’s approach does not forcibly suppress immunity. Instead, it utilizes "Immune Regulation Therapy" to help the malfunctioning immune system regain its natural balance.

• Normalizing the Immune System: We stabilize (reset) the disturbed immune system so that immune cells stop attacking the hair follicles.
• Safe Patented Ingredients: Instead of steroids, we use patented natural ingredients. This ensures safety without side effects like skin atrophy or systemic imbalances, making it suitable for long-term treatment. It is safe enough to be used with confidence even for treating alopecia areata in children.
• Preventing Recurrence: Since the treatment restores the body's overall immune health rather than just treating symptoms, the recurrence rate is significantly lower.

Since every treatment plan is 100% customized to your scalp condition and stage of hair loss, costs vary.

Dr. Lee Moon Won’s treatment is not a "one-size-fits-all" product but a "Tailored Solution" designed specifically for you. The cost depends on the combination of treatments prescribed (Internal Medicine, Topical Solutions, Medical Head Spa, Regenerative Injections, etc.) and the duration required (typically 6 months to over 1 year) based on your diagnosis.

For the most accurate estimate and treatment plan, we highly recommend visiting the clinic for a comprehensive examination and consultation.
