Hair loss, affecting both men and women, can significantly impact self-esteem and overall quality of life. At our practice, we recognize the emotional and psychological challenges associated with hair loss and are committed to offering comprehensive, personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs and concerns.
Our approach to hair loss treatment is rooted in the latest advancements in medical research and technology, combined with a compassionate, patient-centered philosophy. We begin with a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history and diagnostic tests to determine the underlying causes of hair loss, whether they be genetic, hormonal, nutritional, or stress-related.
Early hair loss treatment is essential to prevent worsening of your condition. Male and female pattern hair loss is one of the most common hair loss problems in clinical practice. It is characterised by distinct patterns of hair loss in men and women. Hair loss that is progressive can affect your confidence. With over a decade of experience treating both male and female hair loss, Dr Ng. will help you diagnose and customise a treatment plan to help you restore and maintain your hair.
Hair loss more than normal can be frustrating and perplexing. We normally lose an average of 100 scalp hairs per day. Each hair follicle undergoes a cycle of growth, rest and shedding. The human hair cycle duration differs with location on the human body. For example, the growth phase on human scalp hair may take 1-5 years.
While having hair is important in mammals to keep warm, to humans, it carries a deeper meaning. Hair loss is not something most of us take lightly, as we use hair to express ourselves, and communicate our unique personalities to our friends and the opposite sex. Alopecia is a medical term used to describe hair loss, and in some of the cases, it may reflect an underlying medical condition or recent stress to the body.
It has been well documented and studied across many populations that hair loss leads to increased stress levels, anxiety and depression. It can affect one's self image, self esteem and relationships. The ability to style your hair in the morning, or even throughout the day is something most of us would take for granted. Having a healthy head of hair gives one the perception of attractiveness, drive, confidence and vitality.
When you lose hair, it is not only how you view yourself that is important, it can also influence people's impression of you. In studies comparing initial images of balding men to non-balding men, balding men were rated as less attractive, older, less likeable and less sexually attractive.
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of alopecia in both men and women. It is a non-scarring form of hair loss characterised by progressive miniaturisation of your hair follicles with a pattern distribution. The gradual loss and thinning of hair over the years is due to the effects of androgen (a hormone) and genetic influence. Often, there may be someone in the family that shares the same problem.
In males, it often starts after puberty, and the pattern of hair loss on the scalp involves the front, temples and vertex. For females, the condition starts later, and loss of hair in the frontal and mid regions of the scalp is the most common pattern seen. Testosterone levels in females should be checked if there are accompanying acne, facial hair and irregular menses, as it may indicate an underlying medical condition such as polycystic ovarian syndrome.

There are several treatments for hair loss, including medications like minoxidil and finasteride, hair transplantation surgery, low-level laser therapy, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
Minoxidil is a topical solution that is applied to the scalp. It is believed to work by widening hair follicles, prolonging the hair growth phase, and stimulating hair regrowth.
Finasteride is an oral medication that works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone believed to be a primary cause of hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals.
The effectiveness of hair loss treatments can vary from person to person. Minoxidil and finasteride are generally effective for many individuals, with studies showing varying degrees of success. Hair transplantation can also be effective, especially for those with advanced hair loss.
Yes, some hair loss treatments may have side effects. Common side effects of minoxidil include scalp irritation and increased facial hair growth. Finasteride may cause sexual side effects in some individuals. Hair transplantation surgery carries risks such as infection and scarring.
The time it takes to see results can vary depending on the treatment and the individual’s response. With minoxidil and finasteride, it may take several months to a year or more to see noticeable improvements in hair growth. Hair transplantation results become more apparent over several months as the transplanted hair grows.
