Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) – Cost in Korea
LLLT uses low-intensity laser/LED light (typically 630–680 nm red and/or 800–850 nm near-infrared) to stimulate follicles, improve scalp microcirculation, and support hair thickness. In Korea, clinics offer LLLT as standalone therapy or as part of maintenance after transplants or PRP. Pricing depends on session count, device class (in-clinic vs. home), and whether it’s bundled with other services.
