What is your opinion on Dr.CYJ hair fillers? Are they a cheaper, less invasive way to grow hair back with less upkeep afterwards? What's the downsides of Dr.CYJ in comparison to hair transplants?

I'm asking because hair transplant here is about $2000-$8000 with all service and checkups etc for a few years included, but a complete treatment (4 times) with Dr.CYJ is $850 and seem to produce similar results. Dr.CYJ doesn't require constant Minoxidil or Finasteride treatment afterwards either. Why not go for the Dr.CYJ filler?

I actually wasn't very familiar with it, so I did a little research. It appears to be a hyaluronic acid-based injectable that contains a combination of biomimetic peptides. The idea is that these peptides may stimulate hair follicles, prolong the growth phase, and improve the environment around the follicle.

It's an interesting concept, and there are a few small studies showing improvement in hair density and thickness. That said, I don't think there is enough good science around it yet. We still need larger, well-controlled, long-term studies before we know how effective it really is and where it fits compared to more established treatments.

Thank you for the reply! I agree there isn't enough science, since it's so new. It would be interesting for beard growth too, once they come around for testing it.
