The Golden Time for Hair Loss Treatment at Yeoksam Station is When OO is Alive.

The Golden Time for Hair Loss Treatment at Yeoksam Station is When OO is Alive.

Hello.

I’m Kim Da-jeong, the head director of Cordia Clinic.

‘Oh? Did this much hair always fall out?’ ‘Surely, I'm not starting to lose my hair, am I?’

Have you ever had such thoughts while washing your hair in the morning or tidying your pillow?

If the crown of your head in a photo looks unusually sparse, making you feel heavy-hearted, you are certainly not alone.

According to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, approximately 240,000 patients sought medical attention for hair loss in 2024 alone.

However, this only includes a fraction of those who received insurance coverage.

Including those who haven't visited a hospital, the number is estimated to be around 10 million.

This means one in five Koreans lives with the same concern.

What's more noteworthy is that over 60% of patients are in their 20s to 40s.

Office workers, who should be focusing on their careers, have become the primary demographic seeking hair loss treatment at Yeoksam Station, and the proportion of female patients has also exceeded 40%.

Overtime, stress, irregular meals, and insufficient sleep.

The daily life of an office worker leaves a deeper mark on scalp health than one might think.

So, what causes hair loss, and how can we protect our hair?

<Treatment Philosophy>

What type am I?

Although grouped under the single term ‘hair loss,’ treatment methods and recovery possibilities vary depending on the type.

Accurate diagnosis is the starting point of treatment.

‘My forehead is getting wider’ — M-shaped hair loss

This form involves the hairline receding from both corners of the forehead, deepening into an M-shape, and is the most common pattern of male pattern baldness in Korea.

If the line above your temples looks different from before when you look in the mirror straight on, it could be an early sign.

The progression is relatively slow, but a hairline that has receded is difficult to restore with medication alone.

This is because hair follicles near the hairline are not easily recovered once degeneration begins.

Therefore, the primary goal of M-shaped hair loss treatment is to prevent further progression, and for already empty areas, hair transplantation is often considered.

‘My crown is thinning’ — Crown-shaped hair loss

In this form, the hairline remains intact, but the hair on the crown thins, and the scalp becomes visible.

Female pattern hair loss also progresses with thinning of the crown around the part.

The key is that hair does not fall out all at once; rather, thick, dark hair gradually undergoes a process of ‘miniaturization,’ becoming fine like vellus hair.

The scalp often appears visible not because hair has disappeared, but because the remaining hair has thinned.

The most crucial fact here is that the hair follicles are still alive.

If they haven't completely died, there's still a chance to revive the thinned hair to become thicker again.

Therefore, for crown hair loss, rather than rushing into hair transplantation, the priority should be an approach that first restores the hair follicles that can be saved.

Thus, a phased approach is necessary.

Hair loss treatment at Yeoksam Station follows a systematic order.

First, a thorough initial consultation is conducted to ascertain the onset, lifestyle patterns, and family history.

Next, a 3D AFS precise hair follicle analysis device is used to objectively determine the number, thickness, and degree of miniaturization of hair follicles.

Once the diagnosis is complete, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to supply energy to weakened hair follicles and Cordia hair follicle injections to directly deliver nutrients to the hair follicle area are combined to help thinned hair become thicker again.

However, this is not a one-time treatment but requires consistent management.

Therefore, consistent observation of scalp changes by the same medical staff, meticulousness to minimize pain, and a comfortable 1:1 consultation environment where one can focus.

These factors determine the results of hair loss treatment at Yeoksam Station.

The most common regret heard in hair loss treatment at Yeoksam Station is, ‘I wish I had come to the hospital sooner.’

This is because it is a progressive disease, and the earlier the intervention, the wider the scope of recovery.

If you feel that you are losing more hair than usual, we recommend seeking medical consultation rather than relying on internet searches or self-diagnosis.

Even if it's not our Cordia Clinic, we hope you visit a nearby clinic to reduce the time you spend worrying alone and create an opportunity for recovery.

Thank you.

This has been Kim Da-jeong, the head director of Cordia Clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the golden time for hair loss treatment?

The golden time for hair loss treatment is before hair follicles are completely dead, meaning when they are still alive. Starting treatment during the miniaturization stage, when hair becomes thinner, increases the chances of recovery.

What is the difference between M-shaped hair loss and crown hair loss?

M-shaped hair loss is a form where the hairline recedes from both corners of the forehead, deepening into an M shape, while crown hair loss is a form where the hairline remains intact, but the hair on the crown thins and the scalp becomes visible.

How does Cordia Clinic diagnose hair loss?

At Cordia Clinic, after a thorough initial consultation, we use a 3D AFS precise hair follicle analysis device to accurately diagnose hair loss by objectively identifying the number, thickness, and degree of miniaturization of hair follicles.

What kind of hair loss treatment is provided?

After diagnosis, we combine low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which supplies energy to weakened hair follicles, with Cordia hair follicle injections, which directly deliver nutrients to the hair follicle area, to help thicken and revitalize thinning hair.

Is post-hair loss treatment care important?

Yes, hair loss treatment is not a one-time event and requires continuous management. It is important to have a meticulous treatment environment where the same medical staff consistently observe scalp changes and minimize pain.

Should I go to the hospital immediately if I suspect hair loss?

Yes, if you feel that you are losing more hair than usual, it is better to consult a medical professional first rather than searching online or self-diagnosing. The earlier you intervene, the wider the scope of recovery.
