Hair Loss Treatment in Seoul, Korea — VEI Clinic Apgujeong (English-Friendly)

Quick intro

VEI Clinic Apgujeong offers English-friendly evaluation and management for “brain fog”—persistent problems with concentration, memory, or mental clarity. We’re on the 3rd floor of Beneheim City (162 Apgujeong-ro), a short walk from Apgujeong Station Exit 5.

What “brain fog” means

“Brain fog” isn’t a medical diagnosis, but a common symptom cluster:

  • Difficulty focusing or remembering things
  • Slowed thinking or “mental haze”
  • Trouble finding words
  • Fatigue and irritability

It can stem from many underlying causes, so our approach is to identify and address what’s driving it.

Common contributors we screen for

  • Sleep issues: poor sleep hygiene, shift work, sleep apnea risk
  • Stress/overload: burnout, anxiety, depression
  • Hormonal factors: thyroid disease, adrenal disorders, perimenopause/low testosterone
  • Nutritional issues: low B12, folate, iron/ferritin, vitamin D, dehydration
  • Blood sugar/insulin resistance
  • Medications or substances: sedatives, antihistamines, alcohol, high caffeine swings
  • Post-illness recovery: viral/post-COVID fatigue
  • Neurological/autoimmune causes (rare but important to rule out)

Our evaluation (doctor-guided)

  • History & screening questionnaires: sleep, mood, diet, meds, travel, exposures
  • Physical exam: vitals, thyroid palpation, neurologic screen
  • Targeted labs: CBC, CMP, TSH ± Free T4, ferritin/iron, B12/folate, vitamin D, A1C/glucose, CRP, cortisol AM ± salivary day-curve (if indicated), hormone panel (case-by-case)
  • Cognitive screening tests when appropriate
  • Referrals to neurology, sleep medicine, or psychology if red flags appear

Personalized plan

  • Address root causes: adjust meds, treat deficiencies, manage thyroid or blood sugar issues
  • Lifestyle anchors: sleep timing, movement, hydration, balanced meals with protein + complex carbs
  • Stress & mental load: brief breathwork, pacing techniques, referral to therapy when needed
  • Targeted supplements: only if indicated (e.g., B12, vitamin D, iron, omega-3)
  • Integrative supports: gentle exercise plans, circadian-light guidance, mindfulness tools
  • Follow-up metrics: symptom scores, labs, sleep logs

Who might not be a candidate for clinic care (today)

  • Sudden onset severe confusion, slurred speech, weakness, severe headache → call 119 or go to ER
  • New seizures or loss of consciousness
  • Psychiatric crisis (suicidal thoughts) → emergency services

Visit flow (what to expect)

  1. Brief consult → describe symptoms, onset, triggers, goals
  2. Targeted labs → only what’s relevant to your case
  3. Plan → lifestyle tweaks, medication review, optional integrative supports
  4. Follow-up at 4–8 weeks to review changes and adjust plan

Preparation (simple checklist)

  • Bring medication & supplement list
  • Bring prior labs or imaging (especially thyroid, hormones, sleep studies)
  • Track sleep, caffeine, and symptom diary for 1 week if possible
  • Eat normally unless we tell you to fast for labs

Pricing & insurance notes

  • Fees vary by visit length and labs
  • Most visitors pay upfront; many insurers reimburse with documentation
  • Request an itemized English receipt (diagnosis/procedure codes)

Safety note (not an emergency service)

If you have chest pain, severe shortness of breath, heavy bleeding, confusion, stroke symptoms, or very high fever with dehydration, call 119 or go to an ER.
