Hair Loss Prescription Treatments in Korea


Seoul Delight Dermatology Clinic

Hair loss affects countless men and women in Seoul and around the world. At Seoul Delight Dermatology Clinic, we offer advanced, dermatologist-prescribed therapies personalized to your needs. Here’s a breakdown of our key prescription treatments:

1. Finasteride (Propecia®)

  • Format: Oral tablet (1 mg daily)
  • Function: Blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT, a key driver of male-pattern baldness
  • Ideal for: Men experiencing early- to mid-stage male pattern hair loss
  • Notes: Well-studied with proven results over time; requires continuous use

2. Dutasteride (Avodart®)

  • Format: Oral capsule (0.5 mg daily)
  • Function: Inhibits both type I & II 5-alpha-reductase enzymes, reducing DHT more effectively than finasteride
  • Ideal for: Men with insufficient response to finasteride
  • Notes: Off-label use for hair loss; dermatologists monitor closely

3. Topical & Oral Minoxidil

  • Formats: 5% topical foam or solution; low-dose oral (0.25–2 mg daily)
  • Function: Vasodilation of scalp blood vessels to promote follicle health and hair growth
  • Ideal for: Both men and women at any stage of thinning
  • Notes: Topical over-the-counter; oral version is prescription and used under clinical supervision

4. Ketoconazole Shampoo 2% (Prescription Strength)

  • Format: Medicinal anti-fungal shampoo used 2–3 times weekly
  • Function: Reduces inflammation, controls scalp fungus, and indirectly lowers DHT on the scalp
  • Ideal for: Patients with dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis contributing to hair loss

5. Spironolactone (For Women)

  • Format: Oral 25–100 mg daily
  • Function: Anti-androgen that inhibits testosterone receptors in scalp hair follicles
  • Ideal for: Women with androgenic alopecia or hormonal hair loss (e.g. PCOS)
  • Notes: Not recommended for men; requires periodic blood pressure checks

6. Oral Contraceptives (Selected Brands)

  • Format: Monthly pill
  • Function: Regulates hormones; reduces free testosterone levels
  • Ideal for: Women with hair loss related to hormone imbalance or acne
  • Notes: Best chosen by a dermatologist based on your health profile

7. Steroid Treatments (For Alopecia Areata)

  • Formats:
  • Intralesional corticosteroids (scalp injections, monthly)
  • Topical clobetasol or fluocinonide creams/foams
  • Function: Targets localized inflammation to promote regrowth
  • Ideal for: Patients with patchy, autoimmune hair loss
  • Notes: Usually short-term; dermatologist monitors for side effects

8. Compounded Combination Formulas

  • Examples:
  • Minoxidil + low-dose finasteride topical
  • Minoxidil + ketoconazole
  • Minoxidil + tretinoin
  • Function: Synergizes multiple mechanisms — stimulation, anti-androgenic, antifungal
