Hair Loss Treatment in Bali

Yes — one of the most holiday-friendly regenerative treatments. Flying is safe the same day. Avoid washing the scalp and direct sun for 24 hours, and skip pools and the ocean for 48 hours so the micro-channels close. After that, you're back to surfing, beach, and sun with SPF on the scalp. Many clients treat on arrival day and enjoy the rest of their Bali trip without restriction.

Autologous exosome hair restoration at SŌMA starts from IDR 12,000,000 per session, excluding 11% tax (from IDR 13,320,000 including that tax). CGF hair restoration (advanced PRP) is IDR 4,000,000 per session and Cellbooster is IDR 4,500,000 per vial, before tax. Every hair-loss treatment includes hair and scalp analysis. Your doctor recommends the treatment and session schedule after assessment. Ask for a current written quote covering any blood tests, the treatment course and applicable package offers; international prices vary by preparation and protocol.

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that deliver growth-factor signals directly to hair follicle stem cells, extending the active growth phase. A 2022 review in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (PMID: 35441799) confirmed measurable density and thickness improvements in androgenetic alopecia. Results are best for early-to-moderate thinning rather than fully bald areas where follicles are inactive. Most SŌMA clients see reduced shedding within 4–6 weeks and visible density improvement over 3–6 months.

It depends on your stage of hair loss. Transplants relocate hair from donor zones and suit advanced baldness with defined recipient areas. Regenerative hair treatment at SŌMA stimulates your own follicles to grow thicker, denser hair — ideal for early-to-moderate thinning, post-partum shedding, stress-related loss, or preserving what you have before surgery becomes necessary. It's non-surgical, scar-free, zero downtime, and a fraction of the cost of a transplant in Turkey or Singapore. Many clients use it to delay or avoid transplant surgery entirely.

SŌMA is the only clinic in Bali using CGF, an advanced form of PRP made without additives, that holds your growth factors in a natural fibrin network so they are released over several days instead of all at once. For hair, liquid CGF is injected into thinning areas of the scalp so follicles receive a longer-lasting supply of growth factors than traditional PRP provides. In a 2025 split-scalp study, adding CGF produced more hair regrowth than PRP alone.

Both stimulate follicle activity through different mechanisms. CGF is SŌMA's advanced form of PRP, made without additives, which releases your growth factors over several days and is more affordable. Exosomes are concentrated cell-signalling vesicles from lab-sourced or autologous stem cells — a stronger, more targeted regenerative signal that typically shows results faster. At SŌMA we often combine both or stagger them across a protocol. Your doctor will recommend the right mix based on your hair-loss pattern, budget, and how long you're staying in Bali.

Most clients need 3–6 sessions over 3–6 months for the initial protocol, then maintenance every 6–12 months. Reduced shedding is usually the first noticeable change around week 4–6. Visible density builds progressively from month 3 as new hair cycles through. Hair biology is slow — there's no week-one dramatic change, but progress compounds. We take progress photos at every session to track objective improvement.

Yes. The treatment is effective for female pattern thinning, post-partum telogen effluvium, stress-related shedding, and perimenopausal thinning. Post-partum shedding in particular responds very well because the cause is hormonal rather than follicular damage — exosome signalling accelerates a recovery that would otherwise take 6–12 months on its own. Dr. Shirley may also run hormone and iron panels during the initial consult to rule out thyroid or nutritional contributors.

When performed by a trained doctor, it's very safe. Injection is similar to mesotherapy — superficial, with fine needles. Expected short-term effects: mild redness, minor scalp tenderness, or pinpoint bruising for 24–48 hours. Serious complications are rare when sterile protocols are followed. At SŌMA every session is performed by a medical doctor — never delegated to nurses or technicians — using GMP-verified exosome products sourced directly from licensed Korean laboratories.

Hair loss is driven by genetics (androgenetic alopecia), hormones (post-partum, thyroid, menopause), stress, nutritional deficiencies, or scalp inflammation. Strong candidates: men and women with early-to-moderate thinning, widening parts, receding temples, post-partum shedding, or diffuse loss with visible scalp. Less suitable: fully bald areas with inactive follicles (transplant territory), active scalp infection, or scarring alopecias. A scalp assessment and often a blood panel at consultation confirms suitability.

Yes — many clients do. Common combinations: IV drip on the same day for a wellness boost, facial or exosome skin treatment in the same visit (different body sites, same appointment), or pairing with NAD+ therapy for overall cellular support. We can also add oral supplements (biotin, iron, zinc based on bloods) to amplify results. If you're on a limited Bali trip, tell us when booking and we'll stack your treatments efficiently.
