Through the results, it can be determined whether full-body management is required, whether treatment should be combined, whether lifestyle correction alone is sufficient, or whether certain treatments should be delayed. In other words, it allows the establishment of long-term treatment and management strategies based on internal causes of hair loss.

If internal medical causes exist, repeating scalp treatment alone may have limited effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to establish treatment priority through blood testing. This helps reduce unnecessary treatment and determine an appropriate direction based on the current condition.

A blood test does not directly determine the exact cause of hair loss, but it helps identify internal medical factors that trigger or worsen hair loss. For example, it can check whether iron deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, or nutritional deficiencies are affecting hair loss.

A blood test evaluates systemic factors affecting hair follicle growth and maintenance, such as hormonal status, nutritional status, and metabolic and inflammatory conditions. It helps determine whether hair loss originates from internal bodily changes rather than external factors.

It is needed when hair loss starts suddenly, when treatment effects are inconsistent, or after childbirth or dieting. It is also recommended when fatigue or physical condition changes frequently, or when there is a history of internal medical conditions, to identify internal causes of hair loss.

Through the results, it can be determined whether stress management is needed, whether recovery is a priority over treatment, whether nervous system stabilization is required, or whether long-term management is necessary. In other words, it becomes a standard for understanding the environment that causes recurring hair loss and establishing a future management strategy.

Hair loss caused by stress and nervous system imbalance may not be sufficiently addressed by scalp treatment alone. Therefore, it is important to adjust treatment intensity based on the current nervous system condition and determine whether a recovery-centered approach is needed. This helps reduce unnecessary stimulation and establish a more effective treatment direction.

The autonomic nervous system test does not directly determine the exact cause of hair loss, but it helps identify the body environment that triggers or sustains hair loss. In particular, it can evaluate whether stress, tension, and reduced recovery capacity are affecting hair loss.

The autonomic nervous system test focuses on the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It evaluates whether the body is in a state of tension or stability, how it responds to stress, and how it recovers. Through this, it determines whether the body is in a recoverable state.

It is needed when hair loss begins after stress, when hair loss improves and then repeats, when sleep problems, fatigue, or tension persist. It is especially important when hair loss progression is inconsistent or treatment response is irregular, to check whether the issue is not only scalp-related but also related to nervous system imbalance.

Through the results, it can be determined whether the current condition is at a maintenance stage, whether active treatment is required, whether treatment response can be expected, or whether it is possible to transition to maintenance care. In other words, it becomes a standard for establishing future treatment strategy and care planning.

Because hair loss treatment approaches vary depending on follicle condition, it is essential to distinguish whether follicles are maintained, weakened, or lost. This examination helps determine not only whether treatment is necessary, but also the intensity and direction of treatment.

It helps determine hair loss progression not just by hair shedding, but by evaluating how well hair follicles are maintained. Through this, it can distinguish whether hair loss is in the early stage, progressing, or already advanced.

It allows evaluation of whether follicles are maintained, whether hair is thinning, and whether the scalp environment is suitable for hair growth. It also assesses follicle density, hair thickness changes, growth vs. resting phase ratio, and scalp conditions such as oil, flaking, and inflammation—key indicators of hair loss progression.

It is needed when it is difficult to distinguish between hair loss and simple reduction in hair volume, when hair thinning is noticeable, or when it is unclear whether the issue starts from the crown, part line, or hairline. It is also necessary before treatment to assess current status accurately or after treatment to evaluate changes.

Treatment cost varies depending on hair loss stage, combination treatment composition (medication, injections, procedures), number of sessions, and intervals. Exact cost is customized after scalp and follicle precise diagnosis, and can be confirmed via visit or online consultation.

In cases where follicles are already lost and empty areas are clearly visible, stem cell treatment cannot create new hair, so hair transplantation is the primary treatment. However, in early to mid-stage hair loss where follicles still remain, it can be used to delay transplantation or improve scalp environment before transplantation. The correct choice depends on accurately identifying current follicle damage stage.

Temporary redness, mild swelling, and slight tenderness may occur after treatment, but most resolve naturally within one day. Because it uses autologous PRP-based treatment, burden from external drugs or immune reactions is relatively low. However, treatment methods may vary if scalp inflammation is severe or specific diseases are present, so prior diagnosis is required. At HairON Clinic, scalp condition and comorbid diseases are checked first before determining suitability.

Stem cell hair loss treatment varies depending on method.

Stem cell monotherapy

Generally performed every 1–2 months, and due to the hair growth cycle, visible effects take about 6 months.

Combination treatment (PRP · medication · injections included)

When combined with growth factor therapy or medication, intensive initial treatment is performed every 2–4 weeks, and recovery may appear faster than monotherapy.

Hair loss treatment varies in number of sessions and intervals depending on follicle remaining status and progression stage, so a personalized plan is established after precise diagnosis.

CHECK injection is a follicle strengthening injection developed by HairON Clinic, which precisely blends growth factors (FGF9 · IGF-1) and nutrients such as biotin to directly supply follicle activation components. Stem cell hair loss treatment focuses on inducing the patient’s own cells to continuously produce growth factors, actively promoting cellular regeneration. The two treatments are complementary and may be used together to enhance follicle activation effects.

PRP treatment uses the patient’s own blood to concentrate platelets and growth factors, which are then injected into the scalp. It helps improve the follicle environment and scalp activity and is known as a relatively simple regenerative treatment. Stem cell hair loss treatment focuses on follicle regeneration and scalp recovery environment improvement. It aims for broader management of damaged scalp environment and follicle activation response and is sometimes performed in combination with PRP treatment.
At HairON Clinic, treatment direction is designed after diagnosing scalp condition and hair loss progression.

It can be effective for mid-stage androgenetic hair loss where follicles still remain but function is weakened, cases with insufficient density recovery despite medication, and pre/post hair transplant scalp improvement. However, in advanced hair loss with follicle loss, autoimmune alopecia areata, or acute stress-related hair loss, it may not be a primary treatment and specialist diagnosis is required first. Since it is not applied to all types of hair loss, treatment is determined based on current follicle condition.

Stem cell hair loss treatment is a regenerative therapy using stem cells and growth factors to improve weakened follicle environments and support scalp recovery. It activates regenerative responses around follicles and supports reduction of scalp inflammation and entry into the hair growth phase. Rather than creating new hair in areas where follicles are completely lost, it is understood as a treatment that helps existing follicles respond healthily again by improving the scalp environment.

The cost varies depending on the type and combination of prescribed medications, treatment duration, and whether combined therapies are included. In general, prescription medications such as finasteride and dutasteride are not covered by insurance in many cases, so costs may apply. Exact prescriptions and pricing are provided after an in-person consultation.

Nutritional components such as biotin, amino acids, and keratin support hair structure and follicle metabolism, but have limited ability to directly stop ongoing hair loss. Hair loss medications (such as finasteride and minoxidil) directly target causes like DHT and blood flow. Nutrients are most effective as supportive therapy when used alongside medications and injections to support the follicle environment.
