learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Is there a risk of infection with scalp micropigmentation? Any skin puncture can become infected, and the risk depends on sterile equipment, uncontaminated ink and aftercare. See a doctor for spreading redness, pus or fever.

learn Exosomes

Are exosomes applied as a serum, an injection, or combined with other hair treatments? Clinics offer exosomes as scalp injections, as serums applied after microneedling, or combined with PRP. No exosome product is FDA-approved, and no reliable evidence shows that any of these methods works.

learn Botox

What’s the science behind Botox injections for androgenetic alopecia? Small published studies and a 2025 meta-analysis report hair-count gains from scalp botulinum toxin injections, but nearly all of them lack control groups, and reviewers of the same literature call the evidence low-quality; the treatment is off-label and not approved for hair loss anywhere.

learn Vitamin B12

Should Vitamin B12 be taken orally or by injection for hair loss treatment? Vitamin B12 can be taken orally or by injection if a deficiency exists.

learn Verteporfin

Is Verteporfin used as a topical treatment, injection, or oral medication for hair loss? Verteporfin is an intravenous drug approved only for an eye condition; it is not approved for hair loss in any form. In the few published hair reports it was injected into the scalp alongside surgical wounding — unverified case reports of one and two patients, not trial evidence.
