Hair loss treatment
What causes hair loss?
What is hair loss and hair loss treatment? Is there a specific substance in our body that triggers hair loss?! Your hair does not simply go through the process of growth and loss on its own. In reality, it is constantly affected by various signal transmitters that help assist the growth or cause regression of cells within our bodies.
Signal transmitter imbalance
Hair growth and loss are influenced by signal transmitters in the body. For instance, WNT, which promotes hair growth, is secreted somewhere between telogen (resting stage) and anagen(growth stage). On the other hand, BMP (bone morphogenic protein), which causes hair loss, is secreted between catagen(regression stage) and telogen.
- WNT: stimulates hair growth
- BMP: causes hair loss
In addition, various other signal transmitters interact with each other to control hair growth and hair regression; however, hair loss may occur if the interaction between these transmitters is out of balance.
Process of Hair Loss Treatment
- Deliver the signal transmitters that direct growth.
- Supply special medication and nutrients to thicken the hair.
- Inject stem cells to increase the number of hair follicles.
- Promote hair follicle regeneration through physical stimulation such as lasers
As the hair loss progresses, you will lose hair density and thickness.
The density starts to improve, the hairs will still be thin.
With the numbers of hair follicles are growing, the hairs will also get thicker.

Hair Loss Treatment Strategy at Maxwell
1. Accurate Diagnosis
Why Hair Loss Treatment Work Differently for Everyone
The most important thing is the accurate diagnosis. Maxwell provides customised treatment plans based on accurate diagnosis. Even if the symptoms appear similar, the cause and progression differ, so the response to treatment can naturally vary from person to person. If there is no accurate diagnosis, there is no effective treatment plan.
2. We Treat Both Density and Thickness
Hair Density vs Hair Thickness
The thickness of hair is more important than the number of hair when it comes to hair transplants. Therefore, 70 thick hair follicles make your overall hair look fuller and richer, than 100 thin hair follicles. But, 130 thick hair follicles can give off a richer and fuller image compared to 100 thin hair follicles.
And so, at Maxwell we use stem cells with various nutrients, that are injected into the scalp in order to: multiply hair follicles and help strengthen existing hair follicles.
Thickness is one of the factors that needs to be dealt with when it comes to hair loss treatment.. We stimulate hair follicle cells just like you would when building muscles. We restore fullness by injecting appropriate drugs and nutrients directly into hair follicle cells.
We solve hair thickness and hair density together. With over 17 years of experience, Maxwell has accumulated a treatment database that goes beyond 500,000 cases. Thanks to the abundant amount of knowledge, Maxwell’s medical staff are clearly well-versed when it comes to finding the most effective hair loss treatments.
3. 3-dimensional Approach to Hair Loss Treatment
Effective Hair Loss Treatment
Hair loss can be treated in three ways. Each of these treatments is effective on its own, but a more powerful effect can be achieved by combining them precisely.
- Chemical treatment: Among various skin structures, hair follicles have the highest density of nerve fibers, meaning they are greatly affected by growth factors. By directly injecting growth factors such as IGF-1, HGF, VEGF, and BFGF into hair follicles, we can revive hair follicles, improve hair production.
- Nutritional treatment like mesotherapy or MTS.
- Physical treatment: At Maxwell, we use various stimulations like laser, ultrasound, magnetic field, electrical stimulation enhance the hair follicles to stimulate hair growth.
4. We Do Not Treat Scalp Only
Does Scalp Care Help Hair Growth?
Hair production is facilitated by injecting nutrients and regenerative substances like cysteine and methionine into hair follicles. Scalp treatment does not help hair growth, since hair follicle cells are located deep in the skin, scalp condition does not affect hair loss.
5. Pay Less for More
Effective and Affordable Treatment
Expensive doesn’t mean it’s good. There are many methods for treating hair loss. If you find the right treatment for you. It is possible to have an effective treatment at a low cost.

At-home convenience with in-clinic expertise
At Maxwell Hair Clinic, we offer our groundbreaking at-home treatment serum, crafted using cutting-edge technology that implants stem cells into a dual scaffold and cultivates them in a serum-free culture. This results in a cosmetic solution brimming with growth factors crucial for follicle reinforcement, in their natural protein configurations, to solidify and support your hair follicles from the comfort of your home. The serum ingredient is very similar to what we use in clinic for hair loss treatment.
The serum targets follicle care by supplying nutrients directly to both the follicle and its stem cells, thus enabling your hair to maintain its vitality. Its unique spicule micro-needles facilitate deeper penetration of active ingredients, bolstering hair roots for a robust and healthy hair matrix. With a high-purity stem cell culture fluid, and enhanced by the synergistic effects of biotin, panthenol, pyridoxine HCL, and copper tripeptide-1, the serums promote a healthier scalp and resilient follicles.
Difference between two treatments (home vs clinic)
