The beauty of botox is that it goes ONLY where you inject it. If it didn't it might go to the heart or brain and paralyze something more important than a wrinkle muscle. SO even if it works for hairloss, which I doubt(but am open to scientific investigation on it) I would guess you would have to inject every few millimeters around the scalp to get any medicine to all that area. And botox is not cheap. At $525.00/bottle in the US, by the time you start to factor in expenses and profits, it will make PRP look cheap.

The botox rep who just stopped by the office claimed no knowledge of botox helping hairloss.

I'd be interested if any of the docs have any knowledge of this being studied.

This article like many other are fine and dandy, however if this doc claims he has been using it for 3 years.. Surely he has taken a couple of before and after pics?

is there ANY visual evidence whatsoever?

If not I claim bs
