Before your consultation

  • Is scalp relief the same as hair growth?
  • If it is on the official treatment list, is it considered a standard treatment?
  • Can I stop the existing medication and just receive injections?

General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.

Is scalp relief the same as hair growth?

Changes in sweat, oil, or tension, and changes in the number and thickness of hair are different evaluation items. The hair loss guidelines from the medical society explain diagnosis and treatment according to the cause. You cannot prove that new hair has increased solely based on experiencing that scalp care has become easier.

If it is on the official treatment list, is it considered a standard treatment?

You should distinguish between the treatment list being sold and standard treatments that have sufficient evidence. Ask which type of hair loss a particular study evaluated the effect on. It is important not to generalize the hair growth effects of regular botulinum toxin or scalp oil studies to all types of hair loss.

Can I stop the existing medication and just receive injections?

Do not arbitrarily stop treatments you are taking or applying. Confirm the cause and reaction with your currently prescribing medical staff and discuss the need for changes. If additional procedures are recommended, ask whether the existing treatment will be maintained and the expected separate benefits explained.

What should be matched in before-and-after photos?

Match hair length, parting, wetness, and lighting. Even changing only styling or shooting angle can make hair look thicker. It is best to standardize the conditions of initial and follow-up photos and set the items to be evaluated objectively during the consultation.

If it doesn't work, should the number of injections be increased?

After checking the initially set evaluation period and goals, you should review the cause and treatment plan again. Instead of vaguely increasing the number, ask whether to stop or use a different approach if there is no change. It is also good to compare the cost and expected benefit together.

What questions should be asked in Dongseong-ro hair loss injection consultation?

If you inquire about hair loss botulinum toxin in Daegu Dongseong-ro, first ask, "What is my hair loss diagnosis and what is the basis for this injection?" There is an official treatment list, but it does not mean it replaces the diagnosis and standard treatment.
