Many people who inquire about scalp Botox at a dermatology clinic often find themselves contemplating at an ambiguous point.

They feel it’s too early to take medication, yet they're anxious about doing nothing.
So, today I will explain scalp Botox in detail.
Why You Need to Check Your Condition First
Many people think of hair loss as solely due to genetics or age.
While these certainly play a role, there's actually something far more important.
That is ‘scalp tension’.
Beneath the scalp, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves are intricately connected. Due to stress, lack of sleep, and lifestyle habits, they often remain tense and become stiff.

Simply put, just as your shoulders can remain stiff, your scalp can also become rigid.
If this condition persists, blood flow decreases, nutrient supply to hair follicles diminishes, and eventually, hair gradually thins.
In other words, rather than just checking how much hair you've lost, it's crucial to first assess the current state of your scalp at Hanti Dermatology.

Therefore, to accurately assess, we use 3D AFS imaging to verify hair follicle density, thickness, and progression not just by sight, but with data.
Scalp Botox is Not a Massage
Some people think of Hanti Dermatology's Botox as a massage.
However, Botox works by relaxing tense muscles and reopening blood flow.

To give you an analogy, if you pour water on hardened soil, it just flows over the surface and doesn't penetrate, right?
Similarly, no matter how good the treatment, it won't be properly delivered if the scalp is tense.
That's why it's much more efficient to first relax the scalp with Botox and then proceed with treatments that promote recovery in the next stage.
Customized Design is Necessary
We typically proceed with a structure of Botox + Cordia hair follicle injections + stem cell treatment if necessary.
What's important here is that stem cell treatment is not always included.
Initially, we relax the tension with Botox and then proceed with Cordia hair follicle injections.

And only when necessary, we add autologous blood-based stem cell treatment.
In other words, we don't apply the same treatment to everyone; instead, we design it step-by-step according to each individual's condition.
The Difference in Results Comes from ‘How it's Injected’
There's only one reason why the results of the same Hanti Dermatology Botox can differ.

In terms of procedural detail, we proceed with a customized plan that includes injection depth, spacing, and direction.
Will it be painful?
Of course, the scalp is a sensitive area, so many people worry about pain.

To reduce pain, we continuously adjust the speed, pressure, and injection method during the procedure.
This small difference can lead to a significant difference in results.
It's Not a One-Time Treatment
Scalp Botox or hair follicle injections are not treatments that bring about a drastic change in a single session.
This is because hair loss itself is a ‘process’.
Therefore, it's crucial to repeat treatments at regular intervals to gradually stabilize the scalp environment and create a condition where hair follicles can endure.

This is why we also design individual cycles and intensities differently based on the results of the 3D AFS examination.
In other words, while the current hair loss may not necessarily indicate a severe condition, it's also difficult to say that nothing needs to be done.
Ultimately, ‘now’ is that intermediate, and therefore more crucial, period.
Of course, there's no need to rush into Hanti Dermatology treatment.

We don't immediately recommend procedures; instead, we first assess your current condition through a 1:1 consultation and then guide you towards the appropriate direction.
Therefore, rather than worrying alone, we encourage you to visit us comfortably and have your condition checked first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does scalp botox help with hair loss?
Scalp botox helps with hair loss by relaxing tense scalp muscles, which improves blood flow and facilitates nutrient supply to hair follicles. This helps prevent hair thinning and creates a healthy scalp environment.
What is the pain like during scalp botox treatment?
While the scalp is a sensitive area, we adjust the treatment speed, pressure, and injection method to minimize discomfort. Therefore, you can receive the treatment with less worry about pain.
Is one scalp botox treatment enough?
No, scalp botox or hair follicle injections are not treatments that provide a dramatic change in one session, and since hair loss is a process, repeated treatments at regular intervals are necessary. The frequency and intensity are customized based on individual 3D AFS test results.
Can I receive other hair loss treatments along with scalp botox?
Yes, you can. We offer customized, multi-stage treatments where, after relaxing the scalp tension with botox, we proceed with Cordia hair follicle injections, and if necessary, add autologous blood-based stem cell therapy.
When is the best time to start scalp botox treatment?
Now might be the most crucial time. Rather than worrying alone in the ambiguous early stages of hair loss, such as increased hair shedding, it's best to first confirm your current condition through a 1:1 consultation and then determine the appropriate treatment plan.
