Scalp hair loss requires a different approach than M-shaped hairline loss. This article explains why and what to check before scalp injections.
Daechi-dong Dermatology: Scalp Hair Loss Treatment Must Differ from M-Shaped Hairline Treatment
‘It's not an M-shape yet, but the top looks sparse.’‘I'm losing so much hair; will injections help?’

One of the biggest concerns during dermatology consultations is, ‘Should I get injections now?’
To get straight to the point, there's something else that needs to be checked first at this stage.
Today, I'll tell you one crucial thing to check before getting scalp injections.
<Treatment Philosophy>
Scalp Hair Loss is Different from M-Shaped Hairline Loss
Not all hair loss progresses in the same way.
M-shaped hair loss typically shows a relatively clear receding hairline.
On the other hand, scalp hair loss is a bit different.
It's a form where the overall hair volume decreases, and the hair becomes thinner, eventually giving a sparse appearance.
Outwardly, it might look like only one area is empty, but in reality, a wide area of hair follicles is often affected simultaneously.
Therefore, at Daechi-dong dermatology, the first step is not just to look at the sparse area but to check the overall hair follicle condition and changes in density.
What to Check Before Scalp Injections
‘Will scalp injections immediately improve the condition?’
In cases of scalp hair loss, it's much more common for hair follicles to be weakened rather than completely gone.
This means there are still hair follicles that can be saved.
In this state, restoring the weakened hair follicles is more important.
That's why at Daechi-dong dermatology, we prioritize ‘Is it in a state where it can be saved now?’ over ‘Should I implant now?’
Scalp Injections are Not Just About Nutrient Supply.
Many people think of injection therapy as ‘putting good things into the scalp,’ but it's actually a bit different.
We primarily use Cordia hair follicle injections.
This treatment creates an environment where hair follicles can function again.
There's one really important part here.
‘Why do different injections yield different results?’
The reason lies in where, how deep, and at what intervals the injection is administered.
Based on our surgical training, we control this very precisely and perform procedures in a way that minimizes discomfort.
These details ultimately create a difference in results, so who administers it and how is more important.
You Must Understand Your Current Condition First
In fact, understanding your current condition properly is more important than the procedure itself.
We first confirm data such as hair follicle density and hair thickness through 3D AFS scalp imaging.
In other words, we confirm the feeling of sparseness with numerical data, not just by sight.
Based on these results, we design personalized treatments by determining whether it's a maintenance stage, a recoverable stage, and what treatment is appropriate.
Therefore, even for the same scalp hair loss, the approach can be completely different.
The Order of Treatment Changes the Results
For hair loss treatment, what you do is often less important than the order in which you do it.
✔ Weak hair follicles → Restore the environment first
✔ After stabilization → Consider additional treatment if necessary
Following this order is much more likely to lead to natural and stable results.
Therefore, in Daechi-dong dermatology consultations, it's more important to first confirm what stage you are in, rather than immediately discussing procedures.
Especially with scalp hair loss, it's more common for people to delay treatment because it feels ambiguous, rather than starting late because it's already too late.
If you feel your hair looks sparse and your volume has decreased, now is the time to get it checked.
Of course, there will certainly be a time when additional treatment is needed, but management in the preceding stages is also very important.
That is, accurately assessing your current condition and choosing the appropriate sequence can determine long-term results.
Therefore, if you visit Daechi-dong dermatology, you should prioritize setting the correct direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between crown hair loss and M-shaped hair loss?
Crown hair loss is characterized by an overall reduction in hair density and thinning hair, while M-shaped hair loss involves a receding hairline that creates a clear M-shaped boundary.
What is the first thing to check before treating crown hair loss?
Before treating crown hair loss, it is important to accurately assess the current state of hair follicles, including hair follicle density and hair thickness, through a 3D AFS scalp scan.
What kind of injection treatment does Cordia Clinic offer for crown hair loss?
Cordia Clinic primarily uses Cordia Follicle Injections, which create an environment where hair follicles can function healthily again. The skill of the practitioner significantly influences the results.
What is important besides injections when treating crown hair loss?
Yes, the order of treatment is important. If the hair follicles are weak, it is best to restore the environment first, and then consider additional treatments if necessary after stabilization, which leads to natural and stable results.
When is the best time to start treating crown hair loss?
Crown hair loss is often delayed not because it's too late to start, but because people hesitate. The appropriate time to check is when you feel your hair looks sparse or you notice a reduction in volume.
