Curejet hair loss treatment — is it effective for crown hair loss as well?

Crown hair loss often begins not with hair falling out all at once, but with existing hair gradually becoming thinner so that the scalp shows through.

When thinned hair still remains on the crown like this, non-surgical treatment using Curejet may be considered.

However, since areas where the hair follicles have already been lost and are empty cannot be treated in the same way, it is important to check the current condition of the hair on the crown.

Today, we will look at how Curejet hair loss treatment is applied to crown hair loss, and in which cases the treatment may be considered.

Why does the scalp show through with crown hair loss?

As crown hair loss progresses, one of the first changes to appear is in the thickness of the hair.

Hair loss beginning does not mean that all the hair falls out from the start.

The hair that had been growing gradually becomes thinner,

and as the growth phase of the hair shortens,

the overall density decreases and the scalp begins to show through.

The crown in particular is an area that is difficult to check on your own, so it is often discovered only after hair loss has progressed to some degree.

If you notice the following changes, it is a good idea to check the condition of the hair on your crown.

• When the crown looks brighter than before
• When scalp exposure around the part line has increased
• When the hair on the crown has become thinner than before
• When the scalp is more visible after washing or drying your hair
• When volume at the crown flattens easily

At this point, rather than simply counting the number of hairs falling out, you should also check the thickness and density of the existing hair and whether hair follicles remain.

How is Curejet applied to crown hair loss?

Curejet is a treatment method that delivers stem cell culture medium directly to the area of crown hair loss.

At Modi Hair Plant, we check the patient's hair and scalp condition and then perform Curejet treatment on the areas where it is needed.

In the case of crown hair loss, treatment may be considered not so much when the hair has already completely disappeared,

but when existing hair remains

while the hair has become thinner

and the density at the crown has decreased.

In other words, treatment may be considered.

That is, for Curejet it is important not to decide based simply on how empty the scalp appears, but to determine whether it is applicable after checking the current condition of the hair follicles and hair.

Should everyone with crown hair loss receive Curejet?

That is not the case.

Even with crown hair loss, the treatment method may differ depending on how far the hair loss has progressed and the condition of the hair follicles.

If the hair has thinned and the scalp is in such a condition, stem cell treatment via Curejet may be helpful,

whereas if hair loss has progressed over a long period so that the hair follicles have been lost and the actually empty area is extensive, there are cases in which a hair transplant should be considered.

Therefore,

When thinned existing hair remains → treatments such as hair follicle stem cell therapy via Curejet may be considered

When the hair follicles have been lost and the area is empty → a hair transplant may be considered

Of course, when hair transplant surgery, hair follicle stem cell therapy, and medication treatment are carried out together, the plan may be designed so that each treatment works complementarily.

In this way, the direction of treatment is decided according to the current condition.

Are hair transplant and Curejet ever performed together for crown hair loss?

Yes. For many Modi patients with crown hair loss, the plan is designed so that when hair transplant surgery, hair follicle stem cell therapy, and medication treatment are carried out together, each treatment works complementarily.

Not all patients have the same condition across the entire crown.

In some areas the hair follicles have been lost and the area is empty,

while thinned existing hair may remain in the surrounding areas.

In such cases, a hair transplant for the empty areas and treatment for the areas where existing hair remains may be considered together.

A hair transplant is a treatment that transplants new hair follicles into the areas where they are needed,

while Curejet is a treatment performed with consideration of the condition of areas where existing hair remains, so their treatment purposes differ.

Therefore, rather than one of the two treatments being unconditionally better, it is important to distinguish which treatment is needed according to the current hair loss condition.

Crown hair loss: what should be checked before treatment?

*This is an actual case of a female patient in her 40s with crown hair loss and a wide part line who received hair follicle stem cell therapy managed with Curejet. Medication delivery is one part of the treatment, and the result appears through the combined action of several treatments. Individual differences may occur.

Before deciding on treatment for crown hair loss, the following aspects should be checked.

1. The current hair density of the crown
2. The thickness of the existing hair
3. Whether thinned hair remains
4. The extent of the areas where hair follicles have been lost
5. Whether hair loss is still progressing
6. Whether the condition is one that requires a hair transplant

In particular, at the crown, how much the scalp is visible can vary depending on the lighting and the direction of the hair.

Therefore, rather than deciding the treatment method from photographs alone, it is important to establish a treatment plan after checking the actual condition of the hair and scalp.

If your crown hair loss is like this, a consultation may be worth considering.

*The crown hair loss condition of a female patient in her 30s who visited Modi

• When the hair on the crown is gradually becoming thinner
• When the scalp at the crown is much more visible than before
• When existing hair still remains
• When you are unsure whether medication treatment alone is sufficient
• When you want to determine whether your condition requires a hair transplant

Conversely, if there are many areas that are completely empty because the hair follicles have already been lost, rather than addressing it with Curejet alone, other treatment methods such as a hair transplant need to be considered together.

For crown hair loss, what matters is checking whether hair follicles remain.

Crown hair loss is often not simply a matter of hair falling out; it frequently appears together with a process in which the existing hair becomes thinner.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to apply the same treatment to everyone just because the scalp shows through.

If thinned existing hair remains, non-surgical treatment such as Curejet may be considered, and if there are areas that are empty because the hair follicles have already been lost, a hair transplant may be considered.

Ultimately, what matters is accurately assessing the current condition of the crown and deciding the treatment method according to the remaining hair follicles and the degree of hair loss progression.

At Modi Hair Plant, we check the thickness and density of the hair on the crown, the scalp condition, and other factors, and then provide consultation on a treatment direction suited to each individual's condition.
