Introduction
Have you noticed more hair in your brush or shower drain lately?
As aesthetic professionals with years of experience, we’ve seen countless women struggle with hair loss. At Wellaholic, we often hear concerns from our customers about thinning hair and receding hairlines. It’s a common issue that can affect self-esteem and confidence.
In this article, we’ll share our insights on effective hair loss treatments for women in Singapore. We’ll cover options we’ve seen work well, from our time at Wellaholic and Laser Clinics Australia. Our goal is to help you understand your choices and find a solution that works for you.
What are the Common Causes of Hair Loss in Women?
Hormonal Factors
Generally, hair loss is caused by a number of factors. The most common factor for hair loss in women is due to hormonal changes. This can be due to conditions such as menopause or even pregnancy. Stress can also cause hormonal shifts, which in turn causes thinning hair or hair loss in general. When the body adjusts and the hormonal levels return to normal, the hair loss should stop on its own.
Nutrient Deficiencies
If you have a change of diet, or if you are trying a new form of dieting, it can sometimes affect your scalp. Nutrient deficiencies can be solved by readjusting your diet, and by consulting a doctor or a dietitian. Sometimes, there may be an underlying health or medical condition, hence it will be important to check with your doctor on this.
Female Pattern Baldness or Alopecia
About one-third of women experience hair loss (also known as alopecia) at some time in their lives. Hair loss in women often has a greater impact than hair loss does on men, because it’s less socially acceptable for them. This type of hair loss is very similar to that experienced by men. It is known as androgenetic alopecia or female pattern hair loss. For women, it usually begins with the gradual thinning at the hair parting line. Then slowly but surely, there will be an increase of diffused hair loss radiating from the top of the head or the hair parting line.
Lidwig Scale for Female Pattern Baldness Classification
The Ludwig scale is a method of classifying female pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia), and ranges from stages I to III. Stage I begins with thinning on the top of the head. In stage II the scalp starts to show. All of the hair at the crown of the head may be lost when the hair loss progresses to stage III. However, the scale is used merely for general categorisation.
Please see the table below for the main types of hair loss as well as their prevention and suggested treatments.
| Type of Hair Loss | Prevention | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Androgenetic Alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) | – Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on the hair – Use mild shampoos and conditioners – Maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine | – Topical minoxidil solution or foam – Oral finasteride – Microneedling for scalp – Hair transplant surgery |
| Telogen Effluvium | – Manage stress – Eat a balanced diet – Avoid harsh hair treatments – Get adequate sleep | – No specific treatment – Hair usually regrows on its own once the underlying cause is addressed |
| Alopecia Areata | – No known prevention method | – Topical or injectable corticosteroids – Topical immunotherapy – Oral immunosuppressants – Microneedling for scalp – Hair transplant surgery |
| Traction Alopecia | – Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on the hair – Alternate hairstyles to reduce tension on the hair – Use gentle hair care products | – Discontinue tight hairstyles – Massage scalp to improve blood flow – Topical minoxidil solution or foam – Microneedling for scalp |
| Scarring Alopecia | – No known prevention method | – Treatment depends on the underlying cause – May include topical or oral corticosteroids, antibiotics, or immunosuppressants – Microneedling for scalp – Hair transplant surgery |
| Anagen Effluvium | – Avoid harsh hair treatments such as chemical relaxers or dyes – Avoid exposure to radiation or chemotherapy drugs | – No specific treatment – Hair usually regrows on its own once the underlying cause is addressed |

What is Androgenetic Alopecia?
Understanding Androgenetic Alopecia: The Role of Androgens
Androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss, is closely linked to the hormones known as androgens. These hormones are crucial for regular male sexual development and carry out several key functions in both sexes. These include influencing sex drive and regulating hair growth. Androgenetic alopecia is often an inherited condition and typically involves multiple genes.
The Potential Causes of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia could be triggered by an underlying endocrine condition, such as the overproduction of androgen. Alternatively, it could be due to an androgen-secreting tumour present on the ovary, pituitary, or adrenal gland. Regardless of the specific cause, the common factor in these cases is typically increased androgen activity.
The Complexities of Androgenetic Alopecia in Women
Unlike in men, deciphering the precise role of androgens in androgenetic alopecia among women can be more complex. In case an androgen-secreting tumor is implicated, it becomes critical to measure androgen levels in women who are experiencing clear signs of female pattern hair loss. This aids in providing a more precise diagnosis and targeted treatment approach.
The use of hair dyes and hair styling products may increase the risk of hair loss among Asians. One study compiled by Wellaholic found that the use of hair dyes was associated with an increased risk of hair loss in Korean women.
Treating Hair Loss with Minoxidil
Rogaine: An Over-The-Counter Solution for Hair Loss
Rogaine, commonly recognized by its brand name, is an over-the-counter medication that is useful for both men and women suffering from alopecia areata or androgenic alopecia. Available in a foam or liquid form, this drug is designed for daily application on the scalp.
The Journey with Rogaine: Initial Shedding and New Growth
An important aspect to note about Rogaine is that it may initially cause increased hair loss. However, this is typically a sign that the treatment is working as the old hairs are being pushed out to make room for new growth. The new hair growth might appear thinner and shorter at first.
The Long-Term Commitment: Consistent Use for Effective Results
To see substantial changes, Rogaine needs to be used consistently for six months or more. This persistence is necessary to prevent further hair loss and promote new hair growth. At Wellaholic, we optimize the benefits of Rogaine by combining it with our HairGrow 3X and Microneedling for Scalp treatments, tailoring a comprehensive hair regrowth strategy for our clients.
Treating Hair Loss with Spironolactone Pills
Understanding Spironolactone: A Hormone-Focused Approach to Hair Loss
Often known by its brand name, Aldactone, spironolactone is a medication that targets hormones to address hair loss. Its unique mechanism involves binding to androgen receptors, subsequently reducing the body’s processing of testosterone. While its usual applications include treating swelling, high blood pressure, and potassium deficiency, it also serves as an anti-androgen, making it useful for those suffering from hair loss due to elevated androgen levels.
The Anti-Androgen Effect: Slowing Androgen Production
The role of spironolactone extends to regulating androgen production. As it belongs to male sex hormones, androgens include testosterone. The reduction in androgen production brought about by spironolactone can effectively slow down hair loss progression caused by androgenic alopecia.
Promising Results: Encouraging Hair Regrowth with Spironolactone
Not only does spironolactone limit hair loss, but it also encourages hair regrowth. By suppressing the production of androgens, it can stimulate the regrowth of hair, presenting a promising solution for those dealing with androgenic alopecia.
Treating Hair Loss with Tretinoin
Introduction to Retin-A: A Potent Ally in Hair Regrowth
Retin-A, also known as topical tretinoin, has found its use in combination therapy with minoxidil for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. The role of topical all-trans-retinoic acid (tretinoin) in hair growth has been investigated both alone and with 0.5% minoxidil in subjects suffering from androgenetic alopecia.
Exploring the Effectiveness of Combination Therapy
When used for a year, the combination of topical tretinoin with 0.5% minoxidil led to terminal hair regrowth in 66% of the studied subjects. Even standalone usage of tretinoin showed promising results, stimulating some hair regrowth in about 58% of subjects.
The Mechanism Behind Tretinoin’s Hair Growth Promotion
The effectiveness of tretinoin in promoting hair growth can be attributed to its role in cellular processes. It has been demonstrated to foster and regulate cell proliferation and differentiation in the epithelium. Additionally, it may encourage vascular proliferation – crucial factors for promoting hair growth.
Treating Hair Loss with Corticosteroid Injections
Corticosteroid injections, like all treatments for alopecia areata, do not prevent new hair loss from developing. While there are few reported side effects related to this kind of treatment, temporary depressions (called “dells”) in the skin may result from the injections. However, these usually improve with time. If new hair growth occurs from corticosteroid injections it is usually visible within four weeks. There are few known side effects related to this kind of treatment.
Treating Hair Loss with Anthralin
Drithocreme (Anthralin) is a topical medication used to control inflammation at the base of the hair follicles. It is used in conditions such as alopecia areata. A few controlled trials have assessed the efficacy of topical anthralin in the treatment of alopecia areata. In an open study, a cosmetic response was seen in 25% of patients with severe alopecia areata treated using 0.5%–1.0% anthralin cream.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
FAQ 1: What are the main causes of hair loss in women, and how can they be addressed effectively?
Hair loss in women is often caused by hormonal imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or genetic predispositions. At Wellaholic, we’ve observed that a personalized approach combining advanced treatments like Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and nutrient-rich scalp infusions yields optimal results. Our expertise lies in identifying root causes through detailed consultations and tailoring solutions to each client’s unique needs. With Singapore’s high-stress urban lifestyle, early intervention ensures healthier, fuller hair.
🔵 Hormonal imbalances can disrupt hair growth cycles.
🔵 Stress contributes significantly to hair thinning in urban settings.
🔵 Nutritional gaps affect follicle health and vitality.
🔵 Genetic factors may accelerate pattern baldness if untreated.
FAQ 2: How does Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) work for treating female hair loss?
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) uses specific wavelengths to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting regrowth without pain or downtime. Research shows LLLT increases blood flow and cellular activity in the scalp, which supports stronger, thicker strands. At Wellaholic, we combine this with other modalities to enhance efficacy. Clients love its non-invasive nature and visible improvements within weeks. This treatment aligns perfectly with Singapore’s demand for quick yet effective beauty solutions.
🔵 Targets inactive follicles to restart growth phases.
🔵 Boosts circulation for better nutrient delivery.
🔵 Safe and suitable for all hair types.
🔵 Complements other therapies for faster outcomes.
FAQ 3: Are there natural ways to combat hair loss alongside professional treatments?
Absolutely! Natural methods such as dietary adjustments, scalp massages, and herbal supplements complement professional treatments beautifully. At Wellaholic, we recommend incorporating foods rich in biotin, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids into your diet. Scalp massages improve blood circulation, while herbs like saw palmetto reduce DHT levels linked to hair thinning. Combining these practices with our cutting-edge treatments amplifies results, making them ideal for busy Singaporeans seeking holistic care.
🔵 Biotin-rich foods strengthen hair structure.
🔵 Regular scalp massages boost follicle stimulation.
🔵 Herbal supplements regulate hormone-related shedding.
🔵 Balanced diets support overall scalp health.
FAQ 4: Why is it important to start hair loss treatment early?
Early intervention is crucial because hair follicles shrink over time, making recovery more challenging once significant damage occurs. Studies indicate that timely action preserves existing hair density and prevents further loss. In Singapore, where environmental pollutants and stress exacerbate hair issues, proactive measures pay off immensely. Wellaholic’s tailored programs address early signs of thinning, ensuring clients maintain confidence and youthful appearances. Prevention truly is better than cure when it comes to hair health.
🔵 Early treatment preserves active follicle function.
🔵 Prevents irreversible follicular damage.
🔵 Reduces emotional distress from noticeable thinning.
🔵 Cost-effective compared to advanced restorative options.
FAQ 5: Can stress really cause hair loss, and what can I do about it?
Yes, chronic stress triggers conditions like telogen effluvium, pushing hair follicles into a resting phase prematurely. In fast-paced Singapore, managing stress is key to maintaining healthy locks. At Wellaholic, we integrate stress-relief techniques with clinical treatments, offering comprehensive care. By addressing both physical and mental aspects, we help clients achieve sustainable results. Our team emphasizes mindfulness, relaxation therapies, and consistent self-care routines for long-term success.
🔵 Chronic stress disrupts normal hair cycles.
🔵 Mindfulness reduces cortisol levels linked to shedding.
🔵 Relaxation therapies promote scalp wellness.
🔵 Consistent self-care boosts overall resilience.
