I visited with my mom for her first of three crown treatments, including a consultation, aftercare guidance, and a visibly fuller-looking result right away. Verdict: Mom and I were 200% satisfied. ## Good to know - **Location**: 4F, 12 Eonju-ro 172-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Parking**: Valet parking at the booth across from the building; ₩5,000 per hour - **Treatment sessions**: 3 total - **Treatment interval**: 2–3 weeks - **Crown treatment time**: About 1 hour *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* This time I went to Doteurak, which people say is great for scalp micropigmentation in Gangnam!! Personally, this is such an exciting, major post. It was the day this mama’s girl did something big for her mom!! ![Featured photo from a scalp micropigmentation visit to Doteurak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-01-14o1s-1200.webp) ## Visiting Doteurak near Apgujeong Rodeo Right in hectic central Gangnam, Doteurak—famous for scalp micropigmentation—is in this kind of building near Apgujeong Rodeo. I wandered around looking for it for ages. ![Doteurak building near Apgujeong Rodeo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-02-18z86-966.webp) Doteurak is on the fourth floor!! They even have valet parking ♥︎ There’s a little parking booth across from the building; just let them know when you get there. It’s ₩5,000 per hour, and it seemed to be the cheapest parking around. Holding Mom’s hand, we headed up with fluttery hearts. ## Scalp micropigmentation for Mom’s crown concern The reason we came to Doteurak was that lately Mom kept saying, “I think I’ve become an old lady—my crown looks so sparse ㅠㅠ,” and getting so upset..... Even with a sparse crown, even if she went bald, my mom would still be so beautiful... But seeing her down broke this mama’s girl’s heart, so I started frantically searching: Where’s good for scalp micropigmentation in Gangnam... Is there somewhere good for scalp micropigmentation in Jamsil..... ![Exterior of Doteurak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-03-21a53-966.webp) ![Scalp micropigmentation space at Doteurak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-04-13g6l-966.webp) The place I finally found was Doteurak. Lots of celebrities had been there, they had extensive treatment experience and plenty of reviews, and above all, I heard the director(?) was a leading authority on scalp micropigmentation in Korea, so it felt trustworthy. And he’s sooo handsome.. (twice the trust). ![Interior entrance at Doteurak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-05-4f93x-966.webp) I was startled the moment we walked in. Hahahahahaha. H-hello? As you’d expect from a famous place—and a Gangnam flagship—the facilities were impeccably clean! The consultation rooms had such a nice vibe too, with a private atmosphere. ![Private consultation room at Doteurak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-06-zgkul-900.webp) ![Clean interior facilities at Doteurak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-07-sd9ol-900.webp) At reception, they gave us a pre-treatment questionnaire, so we could carefully check what Mom was concerned about and what treatment she wanted before the consultation. ![Small area for handwashing and tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-08-6jbol-966.webp) There was also this little area on one side where you could wash your hands, check the mirror, and have tea. Mom looked a little nervous. Me: “Mom, are you nervous?” Mom: “Yeah... Will it hurt?” Hahahahaha. My adorable mom, even well past fifty. ## A consultation examining her part and treatment area We started the consultation with the director in the consultation room! He asked about Mom’s usual part and hairstyle, then carefully checked the area to be treated. The treatment is done over three sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart! Drumroll, it’s quite a journey. Actually, on my mom’s side of the family, our back part runs really far down. My mom, my maternal grandmother, two aunts, and even I all have parts that run down to the lower back of our heads, so people sometimes mistake it for hair loss ㅠㅠ The director explained everything so diligently. He was incredibly kind and detailed about the characteristics of her part and scalp micropigmentation precautions! ![Visitor listening to a scalp micropigmentation consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-09-8f401-966.webp) *My cute mom listening so politely* ![Scalp micropigmentation consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-10-1b1ol-900.webp) *Just like a parent-teacher conference hahaha* After the consultation, we moved to the photo room and took pictures like this! To compare the before and after, right? ㅠㅠ Mom’s crown was so sparse. Mom had such thick hair when she was young, but she worked so hard raising me... I’ll fill it in for you, Mom.. (??) ![Photos before crown treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-11-8zyv7-966.webp) ## Starting the first session in a cozy treatment room After the photos, we were shown into the treatment room. I was expecting a chilly, hospital-style room, but no—what was this? It was like a super cozy boss’s office(?) A plush chair like a boss’s chair and soft lighting welcomed us! ![Cozy scalp micropigmentation treatment room](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-12-l2y3g-900.webp) It made her look much less nervous and more comfortable. Mom said: “It feels like I came for a massage...” ![A visitor's feet in a recliner](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-13-1qslr-966.webp) *Mom’s cute feet* This chair could be adjusted up and down like a recliner, and it looked so comfortable that I said, “I want one in my house...” The director said everyone says that at least once hahaha. ![Start of scalp micropigmentation treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-14-o8pdb-900.webp) Treatment start! Getting to watch the work of Gangnam’s number-one scalp micropigmentation place was completely fun content... ![Crown scalp micropigmentation treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-15-18d5t-966.webp) *Oooh...* ![Scalp micropigmentation in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-16-xmdw5-966.webp) It looked painful... “Mom, does it hurt?” But she said the crown area didn’t hurt much. The director also checked on her condition throughout and proceeded very carefully!!! The crown scalp micropigmentation took about an hour? The director’s hands were seriously fast... Apparently it was half the usual working time..! ![Immediately after the first scalp micropigmentation session](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-17-1r1ir-900.webp) After the treatment.. Her face is mosaicked, but Mom is grinning right now. I guess she found it fun... She said it hurt more toward the forehead, but her eyes still looked expectant somehow. Mom is cute. ![Aftercare guidance in front of a mirror](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-18-yqr60-900.webp) After the treatment, they explain things while you look in the mirror. Aftercare and all that! Scalp micropigmentation doesn’t end with just one session; Mom is scheduled for three sessions total. They explained the whole process ahead too. ![Crown after scalp micropigmentation](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-19-6iy5z-966.webp) ![Explanation of crown scalp micropigmentation aftercare](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-20-64dxx-900.webp) ## Her crown looked densely filled right after treatment Her crown was clearly darker and denser than before!! Mom and I kept going, “Wow...” Modern technology is the best... ![Crown scalp micropigmentation before and after](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-21-1obxb-900.webp) Crown scalp micropigmentation before and after!! Isn’t it truly amazing?!?!?!?!?! Honestly.... It made me want it too... Even the back whorl that had looked so sparse now looked full. It’s so fascinating.. This is just the first session, so what will it look like after all three? 🥹 I’m looking forward to it...♥︎ ![Crown change after the first scalp micropigmentation session](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-22-1oexu-900.webp) I searched so much for a good scalp micropigmentation place in Gangnam before coming, and hearing that they also provide thorough aftercare made me feel confident!!! Since I was researching this for Mom, I think I found the very best place.. haha. And!! The cost was reasonable, and they explained in detail how the price was calculated too! ![Wrapping up a visit to Doteurak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-23-auczo-900.webp) ![Space at Doteurak after treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock-24-9xcrp-900.webp) As we left, I thought once again that we had come to the essence of scalp micropigmentation. Hehe. I finally did something nice for Mom ♥︎ Truly, Mom and I were 200% satisfied, and we’re currently waiting for her second treatment. ## Where it is - Doteurak (도트락 본점) - 4F, 12 Eonju-ro 172-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 언주로172길 12 4층 - 37.5276524, 127.0347069 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8F%84%ED%8A%B8%EB%9D%BD%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5276524,127.0347069,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-vanity-stool/gangnam-scalp-tattoo-mother-dotrock/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
