How Does Scalp Botox Help with Hair Loss?
Hair loss has multiple causes — among them, scalp muscle tension, poor blood circulation, and elevated dihydrotestosterone (DHT) are significant contributors. Botulinum toxin injected into the scalp relaxes tense scalp muscles, improves blood flow to follicles, and reduces local DHT concentration, slowing follicular miniaturization. Clinical studies support scalp botox as an effective method to reduce shedding and, in some patients, stimulate regrowth.

Hair Loss Treatment Options at Rappoel
① Scalp Botulinum Toxin Injection (Core Treatment)
Rappoel uses Coretox or Korean botulinum toxin for scalp injection — approximately 100 units administered via multi-point injection along the hairline and thinning crown area. Recommended every 4–6 months. Results begin to appear at 4–8 weeks: reduced shedding, lower sebum production, and improved hair density in many patients.
② Exosome MTS Scalp Treatment (Hair Growth Support)
Exosomes rich in growth factors are delivered into the scalp via MTS microneedling to directly activate dormant follicles and stimulate angiogenesis. This is an ideal complementary treatment to scalp botox, enhancing overall efficacy.
③ Prescription Hair Loss Medication
Rappoel also prescribes oral or topical hair loss medications to complement injection therapy. Physicians recommend the most appropriate combination based on individual hair loss type and severity.
Pre- and Post-Treatment Guidelines
Wash your hair before the appointment. Discontinue topical minoxidil products 3 days prior. Inform your doctor if you have any scalp sensitivity, dermatitis, or active skin conditions.
Avoid washing hair for 24 hours post-injection. Do not bend over or engage in vigorous activity for 4 hours. You can return to normal work and school activities the same day.
Who Is Scalp Botox Suitable For?
Scalp botox is especially suitable for: early-to-mid stage androgenetic alopecia (AGA) patients, those with excessive scalp sebum production, patients with suboptimal response to oral medications, stress-related or tension-induced hair loss, and both men and women seeking non-surgical hair restoration options.
