What Happens During a Gangnam Head Spa? (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Scalp Analysis (15 minutes)
Korean head spas use 200x magnification scalp cameras to analyze your scalp condition. You'll see your scalp on a screen showing:
- Oil production levels
- Clogged hair follicles
- Dead skin buildup
- Hair density and thickness
Step 2: Deep Cleansing (20 minutes)
Specialized scalp cleansers (often containing tea tree, peppermint, or herbal extracts) are applied and massaged in. Some clinics use ultrasonic devices to break down sebum plugs.
Step 3: Scalp Massage (30 minutes)
This is the highlight! Therapists use acupressure techniques targeting specific scalp points to:
- Stimulate blood circulation
- Release tension
- Promote hair growth
- Provide deep relaxation
Step 4: Treatment Application (10 minutes)
Custom scalp ampoules (serums) are applied based on your scalp type. Common ingredients:
- Hair loss: Caffeine, biotin, ginseng
- Oily scalp: Salicylic acid, tea tree
- Dry scalp: Hyaluronic acid, ceramides
Step 5: LED Light Therapy (10 minutes)
Red or blue LED light therapy is applied to enhance treatment absorption and stimulate follicles.
Step 6: Hair Treatment (15 minutes)
A nourishing hair mask is applied, followed by steam therapy and gentle blow-drying.
