Is Scalp Botox effective for hair loss treatment?
Scalp Botox relaxes scalp fascia tension and restores capillary blood flow, creating an environment where hair follicles receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients. It is especially effective for stress-related hair loss and autonomic nervous system imbalance-related hair loss, and shows higher treatment response rates when combined with hair loss medication and follicle strengthening injections (HairON CHECK injection). It should be understood as a treatment that improves the environment that worsens hair loss.
Is Scalp Botox different from regular dermatology Botox?
Although the botulinum toxin ingredient is the same, the purpose and injection method differ. In dermatology, it is injected deeply into muscle layers for wrinkle improvement, whereas Scalp Botox is administered in a shallower layer to relax scalp fascia and calm nerve endings. It is a hair-loss treatment specialized for improving scalp heat, itchiness, and blood flow.
Is Scalp Botox painful?
Scalp Botox is administered via manual injection, and although it varies by individual, the pain is generally mild, similar to a slight tingling sensation. Before the procedure, scalp scaling and steam care are performed to sufficiently relax the scalp and minimize discomfort.
How long do Scalp Botox effects last?
Generally, one session lasts about 3–6 months, with variation depending on stress levels, hair loss stage, and combination treatments. When combined with hair loss medication and follicle strengthening injections (HairON CHECK injection) and maintained regularly, scalp conditions stabilize cumulatively, leading to long-term hair loss suppression effects.
Are there any side effects of Scalp Botox?
Temporary redness or mild swelling may occur after the procedure, but it usually subsides naturally within one day. In cases of severe scalp inflammation or certain conditions, suitability is determined through prior diagnosis.
Is Scalp Botox applied to all types of hair loss?
Scalp Botox is particularly effective for stress-related hair loss, hair loss due to autonomic nervous system imbalance, and hair loss accompanied by scalp heat and reduced blood flow. In cases of androgenetic alopecia, it can be used as a complementary treatment for improving the scalp environment, but it may not be suitable as a treatment for advanced cases where follicles have already been lost, so a specialist diagnosis is required first.
Can Scalp Botox be combined with follicle strengthening injections (HairON CHECK injection)?
The two treatments work differently, so when combined they can provide complementary effects. Relaxing fascial tension with Scalp Botox and supplying growth factors and nutrients to follicles with the CHECK injection increases follicle activity. HairON Clinic designs whether and in what order to combine these treatments based on the scalp condition.
What is the cost of Scalp Botox?
The treatment cost varies depending on the current stage of hair loss, combination treatment plan, and treatment cycle. Exact pricing is provided after a Precise Diagnosis of scalp and follicles, and can be guided through in-person or online consultation.
