Exosomes mainly contain growth factors and may partially support cell regeneration and tissue repair. In contrast, Follion Scalp Injection contains not only growth factors and cytokines but also amino acids, vitamins, blood circulation–supporting agents, zinc, magnesium, and other nutrients, providing comprehensive improvement of scalp and hair health. Because it is a balanced formulation, broader and more sustained results can be expected.

Scalp scaling is a care-focused treatment that removes dead skin cells and excess sebum to clean the scalp environment. In contrast, CHECK Injection directly delivers nutrients around hair follicles to activate follicle function, making their purposes and mechanisms different. The two treatments may be combined depending on the condition.

Yes. It can help maintain follicle function and improve scalp condition before follicles become severely weakened, making it useful for early-stage preventive care. It is especially helpful when hair starts thinning or shedding increases.

Temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight tenderness may occur after the procedure, but these usually resolve within one day. If there is severe scalp inflammation or underlying conditions, the treatment approach may be adjusted after diagnosis.

The exact number of sessions and duration depend on diagnosis of follicle density, telogen ratio, and scalp inflammation. Generally, treatment is planned every 2–3 weeks over a period of about 6 months.

The procedure uses micro-needles to minimize pain and deliver the solution at an optimal depth for follicle absorption. While it varies by individual, discomfort is generally mild.

It is not typically used as a standalone treatment for fully resolving hair loss causes. It is more effective when combined with medication and lifestyle management. Treatment should be planned according to the cause and progression of hair loss.

Treatment direction is determined after evaluating follicle density, telogen ratio, scalp inflammation, and comorbid conditions. For scalp itching or seborrheic dermatitis, CHECK Injection–LITE is used first to stabilize the scalp environment. For thinning hair and recovery after telogen effluvium, standard CHECK Injection is prioritized. Accurate diagnosis of follicle condition is essential.

It is effective as a supportive treatment for early-stage hair loss, including male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss, postpartum hair loss, and stress-related hair loss where follicle function is weakened. It may be less effective when follicles are already lost, making precise scalp diagnosis essential.

Yes. Follion Scalp Injection is a proprietary follicle strengthening injection developed by HairON Clinic. It improves scalp hydration and nutrition, supports capillary circulation, and promotes cell regeneration, helping thin and weak hair grow thicker and healthier.

Because treatment methods and duration vary depending on the cause and follicle condition, exact costs can only be determined after detailed diagnosis. In general, a 3–6 month customized program is designed based on comprehensive evaluation including internal medicine collaboration and blood testing. Exact pricing can be confirmed through clinic visits or online consultation.

Combining hair loss treatment with other medications requires caution depending on the drug type. Minoxidil may interact with certain cardiovascular medications, and finasteride may require dosage adjustment when combined with prostate-related drugs. It is essential to share your full medication list with a specialist.

In most cases, stopping or replacing the causative drug leads to recovery within 3–6 months. However, if exposure was prolonged or follicle damage has accumulated, additional recovery treatment may be required. Medication should never be stopped without medical guidance.

Recovery depends on the type. Diffuse shedding during active lupus often improves when the disease stabilizes. However, scarring types such as discoid lupus may cause permanent follicle damage.

Iron-deficiency anemia is a known cause of female hair loss. Reduced stored iron leads to decreased oxygen supply to follicles, resulting in thinning or telogen effluvium. Serum ferritin testing is recommended, and recovery usually takes 3–6 months after iron correction.

Some antihypertensive drugs may cause hair loss. Beta blockers (metoprolol, atenolol) and ACE inhibitors (enalapril, etc.) can trigger telogen effluvium, typically appearing 2–4 months after use. Not all blood pressure medications cause this, and switching medications should be discussed with a physician.

Alopecia areata occurs when the immune system attacks hair follicles. Risk is higher in patients with autoimmune diseases, and stress may trigger recurrence. Because recurrence is common, immune regulation is important in treatment planning.

Chemotherapy-induced hair loss usually begins to recover within 3–6 months after treatment ends. However, radiation therapy to the scalp may cause permanent damage. Recovery speed and hair thickness vary individually.

When thyroid function normalizes, hair loss often improves naturally. Hormonal balance restoration allows the hair growth cycle to recover gradually, typically over 3–6 months.

If hair loss begins 2–4 months after starting a new medication, drug-induced hair loss is suspected. Because of the delayed hair cycle response, symptoms rarely appear immediately. Analysis of medication type, duration, and pattern is required for accurate diagnosis.

Because treatment methods differ depending on the cause of hair loss and the condition of the hair follicles, exact costs can only be provided after an in-person diagnosis at HairON Clinic. In general, customized programs are designed based on a 3–6 month treatment period, minimizing burden through reasonable pricing and various program options. From precision diagnosis to treatment and recurrence prevention, each stage is systematically designed to focus on what is necessary.

Not every case requires hair loss medication. If scalp inflammation is the main cause, anti-inflammatory treatment and scalp environment correction take priority. If underlying genetic hair loss also exists, medication combination therapy may be considered. More important than unconditional medication use is customized treatment tailored to the cause.

Scalp scaling is effective in removing excessive dead skin cells and sebum that block pores, helping hair follicles breathe and improving the scalp environment. In particular, for hair loss accompanied by seborrheic dermatitis, it helps cleanse pores and reduce inflammation. However, scaling is more of a supportive management method rather than a fundamental treatment, and treatment tailored to the cause of hair loss should be combined to maximize effectiveness. Since the cycle and method differ depending on scalp condition, customized planning through specialist consultation is necessary.

Although individual differences exist, generally at least 3–6 months are required after starting treatment. Because hair needs time to re-enter the growth phase, it is difficult to expect noticeable changes in a short period. Once scalp inflammation is controlled and the scalp environment stabilizes, hair density gradually recovers. The earlier treatment begins, the faster the recovery speed and the better the prognosis.

If treatment begins early and the hair follicles are still in a recoverable stage, sufficient improvement is possible. Hair loss caused by seborrheic scalp inflammation often regrows when inflammation is controlled and the scalp environment is normalized. However, if it becomes chronic and the follicles become fibrotic, recovery becomes difficult, so early diagnosis is important. Precise analysis of the current follicle condition can determine the possibility of recovery.
