Neurotoxin (botulism toxin), primarily known for smoothing wrinkles, has a surprising secondary benefit: promoting hair growth. “Neurotoxin injections are an ideal solution for anyone with advanced androgenic alopecia,” says Dr. Laurel Matthews, owner of Dr. Laurel’s PRP Bar.

“The neurotoxin dramatically improves blood flow in the muscles of the scalp to feed dying hair follicles, creating a major increase in oxygen delivery to the hair follicle,” she says. “It works because the final mechanism causing hair loss is low oxygen tension at the tissue level due to microvascular insufficiency.”

Delivered via tiny diabetic needles, Dr. Laurel places 150 units of neurotoxin in a pattern across the scalp. There are about 30 injections total. “The needles are so small you really don’t feel anything. For added comfort, we offer nitrous to help you relax. I also use a device that cools the scalp to reduce sensitivity,” she says.

The beauty of this method is that you only need to do it one to two times a year. “There are no complications and there is virtually no pain,” Dr. Laurel confirms.

Once the treatment is complete, it takes about four months to see results, with complete results after six months.

“This procedure is really a game changer,” she remarks.
