Scalp stem cell treatments in South Korea

[BECKII]

I have had a lot of hair loss in the last 10 years. I would say 50% of my hair has thinned out. My part line is wide, my temples are bald, and my overall thickness is sad.

I was looking into options that work for women as a lot of docs do not recommend hair transplants for women due to the nature of female pattern balding. I asked someone on another forum and she suggested looking into scalp stem cell treatments. I found a few local clinics that do offer it but it is $15,000 per session and most people seem to need 2 or 3 minimum. I cannot afford that! 

I was expecting it to be under $10,000 for multiple sessions

Is this something I can get done in South Korea for less? I am not sure if they offer stem cell treatments like this or not.

I can't speak from experience but I have read and heard others speak on it being the best place to go for something like this. They seem to be leading the way with standards and results. I am not sure which clinics offer it or not, you would have to research that but you would be in good hands from my understanding.

Basic scalp stem treatments are $500 to $2,500 depending on the clinic.

For more advanced treatment, you are looking at up to $6,000 per session but the average tends to be around $3,200. Again, it depends on the clinic.

I am not sure how you would go about booking something like this. I think you need to get the treatment done every 3 months so you would have to plan 3 trips for the year.

Yeah this kind of treatment is SUPER expensive in the states. I have considered it myself. Since Covid, my hair has thinned about 40% and has not come back. I am just going to wait a bit longer before I look into options. I want to make sure the shedding has stopped and get my vitals and hormones checked first. If it is a vitamin or hormone issues, I want to correct that before getting surgery or treatment of any kind on my scalp.
