Thinning Hair? Here’s What Doctors in Singapore Recommend

Advertisement

If thinning hair or balding is becoming a concern, there are effective hair loss treatments in Singapore — from non-invasive scalp therapies using electromagnetic frequencies to personalised regrowth programmes. Here's a look at two options worth considering.

Illuminate Medispa — personalised hair regrowth programme

Located in Dempsey Hill, Illuminate Medispa offers a full range of advanced face, body and scalp treatments. One to consider if you're dealing with thinning hair is the Calecim Advanced Hair Regrowth System — a six-week restoration programme designed to strengthen hair, minimise shedding and encourage new growth.

How it works The treatment uses PTT-6, a patented bioactive complex that stimulates hair follicles and helps manage inflammation — a common underlying cause of hair loss. An activator preps the scalp for optimal absorption and effectiveness. The personalised approach creates an ideal environment for stronger, thicker and healthier hair.

It's a good option if you're noticing early signs of hair loss — whether that's androgenic alopecia, female pattern hair loss, traction hair loss, or temporary shedding from stress or illness (telogen effluvium). It also helps with brittle, thinning hair from heat styling or chemical treatments.

Results Most clients see new growth, thicker strands and reduced shedding after just two or three sessions, according to the team at Illuminate. Further improvements continue throughout the programme.

SSKINS Medispa — scalp treatment for microcirculation and hair growth

At SSKINS Medispa, the SSKINS 360 Scalp Rebirth treatment offers a non-invasive approach using Quantum Molecular Resonance technology. It uses specific electromagnetic frequencies to stimulate cellular activity within the scalp, supporting microcirculation and improving overall scalp health.

How it works According to Dr Angeline Yong, founder of SSKINS, "By addressing scalp health, the treatment helps optimise conditions for stronger, healthier hair growth while reducing excessive hair shedding."

The non-invasive treatment involves no downtime and is suitable for those experiencing increased hair fall, thinning hair, reduced hair density, or stress-related hair loss. It may also help slow the progression of hair loss or simply maintain scalp health as part of a long-term wellness routine.

Results Hair growth is a gradual process, so patience is key. Results vary depending on the underlying cause of hair loss, age, genetics, lifestyle and scalp condition. "Most individuals undergo an initial series of treatments followed by periodic maintenance sessions," says Dr Yong. "Many people begin by noticing reduced shedding and improved scalp health before observing fuller, healthier-looking hair over time."

For a more comprehensive approach, this treatment can be combined with other hair restoration techniques such as microneedling or regenerative therapies like stem cell-derived growth factors or exosome therapy. A personalised plan is recommended following a consultation and scalp assessment to identify any underlying causes.
