Botox® / Vitamin Hair Replacement

About

It is important to realize that baldness is not a medical disorder; it is a condition by which hair follicles under the scalp shrink to the point where they no longer generate replacement follicles. Since each follicle typically regenerates every 2-6 years, baldness is a slow but continual physiological process that results in patches of baldness on the scalp connecting with other patches to form a hairline.

Vitamin Hair Replacement

Minoxidil (Rogaine) or Finasteride (Propecia). Surgical baldness treatments such as Hair Transplantation, are also a viable option, but are more expensive than Botox injections or prescription medications.

Side Effects

Typical side effects of the scalp treatments were those normally associated with BOTOX® injections (temporary swelling, pain, bruising, etc).

Cost of Vitamin Hair Replacement:

Lower bound: $500 
Upper bound: $7,000 
National average: $4,000 

Treatment

BOTOX® injections coupled with injections of a cocktail of vitamins generally known to stimulate hair growth appear to improve the tissue environment surrounding the hair follicles by reducing scalp tension and improving blood flow.
