    This project offers professional hair-loss care and medical head treatments at a Korean traditional clinic in Seoul. The clinic specializes in hair loss problems using natural herbal approaches and medical-grade head care techniques. This project is designed for people who want to experience Korea’s unique approach to hair and scalp health while enjoying a relaxing, spa-like treatment.

    1. Traditional Korean clinic, Natural approach for hair health

    A traditional Korean clinic (called hanuiwon) may be unfamiliar to many foreigners, but it is a licensed medical clinic in Korea. Unlike some Western clinics that rely on strong or fast-acting medications, a hanuiwon focuses on gentle, natural therapies. Treatments typically include herbal scalp packs, warm circulation therapy, low-level therapeutic devices, and personalized lifestyle advice. The goal is long-term scalp health, rather than just short-term results.

    2. Professional scalp diagnosis and customized treatment
    The clinic provides a detailed scalp assessment using both visual inspection and tactile examination. After the assessment, the doctor explains the scalp condition in simple terms and recommends a tailored plan. This project includes topical treatments, herbal tonics, and head care sessions. The emphasis is on understanding the cause of hair loss and choosing safe, natural ways to support hair health.

    3. Head care for healing and medical treatment
    The head care here is intended as a medical treatment, not just a relaxing massage. A care session includes a circulation-focused scalp massage, a natural herbal pack to calm and nourish the scalp, a mist or sterilization step for cleanliness, and clinic devices such as radiofrequency to stimulate scalp cells. These steps aim to improve blood flow to hair roots, reduce shedding, and support thicker hair over time. Paired with these medical steps, guests also enjoy warm herbal steam, scalp relaxation therapy, and gentle neck and shoulder massage.
