Understanding Hair Loss

What is Hair Loss?

Hair loss, also known as thinning hair, is a condition where an individual experiences a reduction in hair volume. This reduction can manifest in different ways such as generalised thinning across or in specific areas of the scalp, increased shedding, or the appearance of noticeable bald spots.

According to a survey on beauty among people in Singapore conducted in 2022, hair loss was the top concern among around 44 percent of respondents. While it commonly occurs as individuals age, it can manifest in various forms at any age, impacting scalp hair or even the entire body.

While shedding around 50 to 100 hairs per day is considered normal, the concern arises when new hair fails to replace the lost ones, leading to noticeable thinning or balding. Hair loss can occur gradually over time or suddenly within a short period, with some forms being temporary while others are permanent.

Common Types of Hair Loss

Hair loss is an umbrella term. There are several different types of hair loss and understanding what type you have is key to selecting the most appropriate and effective hair fall treatment in Singapore.

Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness)

This is the most common form of hair loss, often referred to as male or female pattern baldness. It is primarily genetic and hormonal. In men, it presents as a receding hairline and thinning crown. In women, it manifests as diffuse thinning over the top of the scalp, often characterised by a widening part.

Telogen Effluvium

This type of hair loss is marked by sudden, excessive shedding, often occurring a few months after a significant physical or emotional shock (e.g. severe illness, childbirth, or extreme stress). It is generally temporary, but timely intervention with a tailored scalp treatment can sometimes speed up recovery.

Alopecia Areata

An autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy hair follicles, causing hair to fall out in small, round, or oval patches. This can affect the scalp or any hair-bearing area of the body.

Traction Alopecia

This form of hair loss is caused by chronic, excessive pulling or tension on the hair follicles, usually from tight hairstyles like braids, tight ponytails, or hair extensions. It tends to be more common in women but can affect anyone who uses sleek, tightly pulled hairstyles regularly.

Diffuse Hair Thinning

This refers to generalised thinning across the entire scalp, often caused by nutritional deficiencies, chronic stress, or underlying medical issues. With this condition, overall density of the hair decreases without forming specific bald patches or a receding hairline.

Are You Experiencing Early Signs of Hair Loss?

TheThe signs of hair loss can vary, indicating different underlying causes. Catching these signals early is vital for achieving the best outcome with your hair loss treatment plan.

  • Have you observed any of these happening to you?
  • Scalp scaling, which could indicate conditions like ringworm
  • Receding hairline at the top of the head
  • Gradual thinning at the temples and crown, a common trait of male pattern baldness
  • Development of bald spots or patches on the scalp, eyebrows, or beard
  • Total body hair loss, typically temporary and resulting from treatments like chemotherapy
  • Sudden hair loss following emotional or physical shock

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss is influenced by several factors.

Genetics

Individuals with a family history of hair loss, such as male or female pattern baldness, are more likely to experience similar hair loss patterns themselves. Genetic factors influence the sensitivity of hair follicles to hormones and other environmental factors, contributing to thinning and eventual loss.

Hormonal changes

Hormonal fluctuations due to events (e.g. pregnancy, menopause, stress) or medical conditions (e.g. PCOS) can have a powerful impact on hair growth cycles. Specifically, androgens such as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can shorten the growth phase of hair follicles, leading to miniaturisation and eventual hair loss.

Medical conditions

Certain systemic conditions (e.g. alopecia areata, thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases) can directly attack hair follicles or impair hair production. Additionally, chronic illnesses, nutritional deficiencies, and scalp infections can weaken hair strands and contribute to excessive shedding.

Age

Ageing is a natural process that affects the entire body, including the hair and scalp. As individuals age, hair follicles naturally become less active and produce thinner, weaker hair strands. This process is coupled with reduced blood flow and decreased production of sebum in the scalp, leading to dryness, irritation, and hair loss over time.

Medications

Certain medications (e.g. chemotherapy drugs, anticoagulants, antidepressants, hormone replacement therapies) carry hair loss as a known side effect. These medications may disrupt the hair growth cycle or lead to temporary or permanent hair shedding, depending on the drug and length of use.

Environmental factors

Environmental factors and lifestyle choices (e.g. stress, poor nutrition, environmental pollutants, hairstyling practices) can contribute to hair loss. Chronic stress, for example, disrupts the hair growth cycle, while poor nutrition and lack of nutrients can weaken hair strands and lead to increased shedding.

Treatments to Reduce Hair Loss in Singapore

Once you’ve decided to address your hair loss, there are various treatment approaches available in Singapore to consider. These range from simple topical solutions to more advanced techniques tailored to individual needs and preferences.

V Aesthetics Hair Grow specialises in non-surgical hair restoration treatments, prioritising effectiveness and convenience. Our aim is to support your journey towards optimal hair health and renewed confidence through personalised care and cutting-edge technology.

If you’re seeking relief from hair loss or struggling with hair fall, we invite you to discover the possibilities of our gentle treatments.

V Magic Hair Grow

The V Magic Hair Grow is a 5-step hair loss treatment that relies on advanced equipment and nourishing growth serums to support natural hair regrowth and scalp health.

By stimulating scalp hypercirculation and increasing the permeability of the hair growth serum, the treatment delivers essential growth factors directly into the hair follicles and roots without causing any damage to scalp tissues.

Hair Growth Tonics

  • Minoxidil: Consistent use of products containing minoxidil may support hair vitality by potentially extending the growth phase.
  • Finasteride: Finasteride targets an enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) involved in hair loss, particularly in men, by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair follicle shrinkage. While its main focus isn’t regrowth, it may help slow down further hair loss.

Hair Transplant

Hair transplants involve a technique where hair follicles are relocated from one area to another to address areas of thinning or balding. Advanced techniques like follicular unit extraction (FUE) or follicular unit transplantation (FUT) may be used in this process.

While hair transplants can offer a potential solution for hair loss, it’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to discuss the suitability of this approach for your individual needs and expectations.

How Our Hair Loss Treatment Works

V Magic Hair Grow combines the Miracle Hair Growth Serum with advanced technology and customisable hair growth ampoules to support individuals experiencing hair loss. Our approach focuses on nourishing the scalp, stimulating hair follicles, and creating an optimal environment for natural hair regrowth.

At the core of our treatment are the High-Growth V Hair Ampoules, designed by the doctors at V Aesthetics Medical Group. This specially formulated ampoule contains key ingredients that work synergistically to improve hair health and promote regrowth:

  • Exosomes: Derived from plants, these contribute to hair follicle repair and may help reduce inflammation, fostering a healthier environment for hair growth.
  • PDRN (Salmon DNA): Rich in growth factors, PDRN may help promote blood circulation in the scalp and protect it from external factors, supporting optimal conditions for hair follicles.
  • 8 Amino Acids + 5 Enzymes: This blend provides essential building blocks for hair proteins, potentially strengthening existing hair and supporting the growth of new, healthy hair.

To further aid the absorption of our hair growth ampoule, we utilise innovative technology, including the FDA-approved DEP (Dermoelectroporation®) machine which increases permeability of the scalp. This makes our hair growth treatment in Singapore a gentle alternative to injections, delivering the serum to the deeper layers of your scalp and facilitating its penetration into the hair follicles.

How To Prevent Hair Loss

While many hair loss causes are genetic or environmental, adopting preventive measures and managing lifestyle factors can help mitigate and slow down hair fall.

Opt for gentle hairstyles

Be gentle when trying out new hairstyles. Opt for styles that prevent strain, such as loose braids, low ponytails, or soft buns.

Minimise unnecessary hair manipulation

Excessive hair manipulation may cause unnecessary strain on your hair. Try to avoid damage by refraining from pulling, twisting, or excessive rubbing.

Maintain a balanced diet

A rich and healthy diet is core to building strong hair follicles. Opt for meals rich in iron and protein to support hair strength and growth.

Choose a mild shampoo

External factors such as strong chemicals can impact your scalp’s condition. Consider washing your hair every other day, especially if your scalp tends to be less oily.

Manage stress

Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels which can prematurely push hair follicles into the shedding phase. Incorporating stress management techniques helps to regulate hormones and support the natural hair growth cycle.

Protect your scalp

Shield your scalp from sun exposure and air pollutants, which can cause oxidative stress and inflammation. Regular professional scalp treatment can also be a proactive step to remove buildup and detoxify the follicle environment, strengthening your defense against environmental damage.

Our signature hair loss treatment is specifically designed to be non-invasive and comfortable.

You may feel a gentle warming or tingling sensation during the LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy) component, but the overall procedure is well-tolerated and requires no downtime. If you have concerns about pain or sensitivity you may bring them up during the initial pre-treatment consultation session.

Treatment frequency depends on the specific hair loss solution and individual needs.

  • Medications: Usually require daily or consistent application as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
  • Hair Transplants: Typically involve a one-time procedure, although some may require additional sessions depending on the extent of hair loss and desired results.
  • V Magic Hair Grow: We recommend an initial series of sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to kickstart the hair regrowth process. Following this, we may suggest periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the results. The exact frequency will be personalised during your consultation based on your individual needs and progress.

The timeline for visible results varies depending on the specific hair loss treatment and individual factors such as age, severity of hair loss, and overall health:

  • Medications like Minoxidil & Finasteride: You might observe reduced hair shedding and some regrowth within a few months. However, significant improvements can take up to a year or longer.
  • Hair Transplants: Initial growth is typically seen within 3-4 months, but achieving fuller, natural-looking results can take 6-12 months.
  • V Magic Hair Grow: Our personalised treatment plan is designed for optimal results. Many clients notice improvements in hair thickness and scalp health within a few months. We recommend regular follow-up appointments to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
