Introduction

Have you ever wondered if there’s a real solution to hair loss?

We’ve seen countless customers at Wellaholic who struggle with thinning hair or baldness. It’s a common concern that affects both men and women, often impacting self-esteem and confidence. As aesthetic professionals with years of experience, we’ve kept a close eye on the latest scientific advancements in hair restoration.

In this article, we’ll share four groundbreaking treatments that are changing the game for those dealing with hair loss. These innovative approaches offer new hope and real results for our customers. We’ll break down how each treatment works and why they’re making waves in the world of hair restoration.

For many people, hair loss is a normal part of the aging process. As we age, our hair follicles begin to shrink, causing our hair to thin and fall out more easily.

Types of Hair Loss

Hair loss can be a distressing experience for many people. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, poor nutrition, ageing, and genetics.

At Wellaholic, we understand the importance of identifying the underlying cause of hair loss to provide the most effective treatment options. Let’s break down the different types of hair loss issues.

Alopecia Areata: Alopecia Areata is a condition that causes patches of hair loss on the scalp or other parts of the body due to an autoimmune disorder. It occurs when the immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.

Female Pattern Hair Loss: Female pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in women. It is caused by a combination of genetics, hormones, and age.

Traction Alopecia: Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by tight hairstyles or hair accessories pulling on the hair follicles.It is most commonly seen in individuals who wear their hair in tight braids, ponytails, or weaves.

There are many treatments available for these issues, but the best option for each person will vary. There are many treatments available that are designed to help you restore your hair. It is important that you choose the best hair loss treatment so that you can get a solution that works for you.


Causes of Hair Loss: There are many reasons why someone might experience hair loss.

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic come to us worried about their hair loss. From our experience, there are quite a few reasons why someone might start losing their hair. Genetics play a big role – if your parents or grandparents dealt with hair loss, you may be more likely to as well. Hormonal changes can also trigger hair loss, especially for women during pregnancy or menopause. We’ve noticed stress is another common culprit. When you’re under a lot of pressure, it can disrupt your hair’s natural growth cycle.

Some medical conditions and treatments can lead to hair loss too. Things like thyroid problems, autoimmune diseases, and cancer treatments often affect hair growth. Diet matters as well – not getting enough nutrients can make your hair thin out. At Wellaholic, we always take the time to understand each person’s unique situation. That way, we can figure out the real cause and recommend the best solution.

Please see the table below for the main types of hair loss as well as their prevention and suggested treatments.

Main Types of Hair Loss, Their Prevention and Suggested Treatment
Hereditary hair loss is a condition that can cause thinning or balding on the scalp.

Hereditary Hair Loss

At Wellaholic, we often see customers worried about hair loss. Many wonder if it’s just normal shedding or something more serious. We’ve learned that hereditary hair loss is a common concern for both men and women.

Genetic factors play a big role in hair thinning. This type of hair loss usually follows a pattern. For men, it often starts with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. Women typically notice overall thinning, especially on the top of the head. We’ve observed that this kind of hair loss tends to run in families. It’s not just about your parents, though. Genes from both sides of your family can influence your hair’s future. If you’re curious about your risk, take a look at your older relatives. Their hair patterns might give you a clue about what to expect.

Alopecia Areata (AA) is an autoimmune disorder that leads to patchy, nonscarring hair loss.

Alopecia Areata Hair Loss

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic who experience hair loss after major life events. Childbirth, illness, and other stressors can trigger a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium. This happens when stress pushes more hair follicles into the resting phase. As a result, you may notice more hair falling out when brushing or washing.

The good news is that this type of hair loss is usually temporary. In most cases, hair growth returns to normal within 6 to 9 months. We always remind our customers that patience is key. While waiting for regrowth, gentle hair care and a healthy diet can help support your hair’s health. If you’re concerned about ongoing hair loss, we’re here to discuss treatment options that may help speed up the recovery process.

Severe illness, surgery, or other life-changing events can cause telogen effluvium, a type of hair loss that results in large amounts of hair fallout.

Hormonal imbalance hair loss is a common problem that can affect anyone, although it is more common in women

Hormonal Imbalance hair loss

At Wellaholic, we often see customers struggling with hair loss due to hormonal imbalances. This issue is more common than many people think. We’ve noticed that hormonal changes can really affect hair growth and thickness.

Estrogen plays a big role in hair health. When levels drop during menopause, many women experience thinning hair. We’ve also seen how thyroid problems can lead to hair loss. Too much or too little thyroid hormone can disrupt the hair growth cycle. Stress is another factor we can’t ignore. High cortisol levels from stress can push hair follicles into a resting phase, causing more hair to fall out. Our experience shows that addressing these hormone imbalances can often help improve hair growth and thickness.

Treatment for hair loss: Three Scientific Methods to Target Hair loss

Hair loss can be extremely frustrating and embarrassing. There are many treatments available, but not all of them are effective. We will look at three scientific methods to target hair loss. These methods can help you find a treatment that is right for you.

Treatment #1: Microneedling for Scalp

Microneedling for Scalp helps treat hair loss and promote hair regrowth. Microneedling for Scalp is a Collagen Induction Therapy hair loss treatment in Singapore which is also able to cause controlled trauma in the scalp to promote hair growth. Together with the use of Minoxidil 5%, Microneedling can lead to positive effects on hair growth over a 12-week period. Especially effective for patients with Alopecia Areata and Androgenetic Alopecia, or male pattern baldness, receding hairline and thinning hair.

How is Microneedling for Scalp Conducted?

  • The Microneedling for Scalp procedure is comfortable and easy with no downtime.
  • Prior to the treatment, please keep your hair washed and cleaned. Avoid applying wax, gel, clay, etc.
  • Before your treatment, our friendly consultant will check to find areas with hair loss and make a note of it.
  • The treated area is cleaned with alcohol to disinfect the area.
  • The Microneedling for Scalp treatment is started. This may take between 20 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the area.
  • The consultant will apply the 5% Minoxidil and gently massage the area for 5 minutes.

Is Microneedling for Scalp Backed by Science?

There have been numerous research studies which shows the effectiveness of microneedling with Minoxidil for hair growth.

Case Study Results of Microneedling for Scalp Treatments

Study 1A Randomized Evaluator Blinded Study of Effect of Microneedling in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Pilot Study (2013) [source]

  • In 2013, a study tested how microneedling affects hair growth on 100 men with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).94 men completed the study.
  • The men were randomly split into two groups. The first group, which consisted of 50 volunteers, was treated with both microneedling and minoxidil (5 percent) lotion.
  • The second group, which consisted of 44 volunteers, was treated with minoxidil (5 percent) lotion.
  • The group which combined Microneedling with Minoxidil application saw a significant hair growth as compared to the minoxidil-only group

Treatment #2: HairGrow Scalp Booster

HairGrow Scalp Booster uses two proven technologies of WellaBoost – Method One (High Pressure Jet Spray) and Method Two (Electroporation). This helps to improve the absorption of Minoxidil by the scalp by up to 17 times and is ideal for treating hair loss.

In a study conducted using various interventions for treating alopecia and hair loss, up to 54% found both mesotherapy and minoxidil intervention effective in reducing hair loss when used together. There was ample evidence to support the efficacy and safety of topical minoxidil when used with mesotherapy.

How is HairGrow Scalp Booster Conducted?

The HairGrow Scalp Booster treatment consists of two methods:

METHOD ONE: HIGH PRESSURE JET SPRAY

  • Minoxidil is instantaneously blasted into small nano-molecules through high-pressure spray technology.
  • This increases absorption of the active ingredient by the hair follicles.
  • Thereby dilating blood vessels and improving the flow of blood.
  • This vasodilation effect causes more nutrients and oxygen to flow through your blood to your hair follicles.
  • Potentially promoting growth.

METHOD TWO: ELECTROPORATION

  • The second technology leverages electroporation, which exposes the skin to a light electrical field.
  • Electroporation makes the skin tissues permeable to macro molecules.
  • By utilising the skin’s water-based channels to allow ingredients to transdermally penetrate.
  • It then uses varying pulse energy to deliver serum into the subcutaneous layer of the skin to stimulate hair restoration.

Is HairGrow Scalp Booster Backed by Science?

There are various studies investigating the effects of skin booster for treatment of hair loss and to assist hair regrowth.

Study 1: Excellent response to mesotherapy as adjunctive treatment in male androgenetic alopecia [source]

  • In the presented case, there was an excellent response to 20th sessions for AGA without any side effects reported.
  • Obviously, the correct diagnosis is fundamental, and the dermatologist is the specialist qualified for that.
  • Mesotherapy seems to be a good and safe adjuvant therapeutic option in the treatment of AGA.

Study 2: Mesotherapy for Hair Loss: 2020 Guide  [source]

  • Mesotherapy treatment has now been used for decades to successfully restore lustre and volume to thinning hair.
  • The treatment’s technology focuses on the idea that most hair loss is caused by lack of nutrients, reduced scalp circulation, and hormone imbalances, especially DHT around the hair follicle.

Treatment #3: Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT is a modern non-surgical hair loss treatment. LLLT uses laser light to stimulate cell growth and supercharge hair follicles. This laser technology helps to combat hair loss and improve the volume and appearance of hair. The LLLT helmet is FDA-approved. The LLLT treatment has been proven to have no side effects and takes about 20 minutes per session.

A 2014 study found that low-level laser therapy seems safe and effective for promoting hair growth in both men and women.

A 2013 study of 41 males ages 18 to 48 found that laser hair treatment provided a 39 percent increase in hair growth over a period of 16 weeks.

How is LLLT Conducted?

The LLLT treatment procedure is comfortable and easy with no downtime.

  • Before your treatment, our friendly consultant will check to find areas with hair loss and make a note of it.
  • The treated area is cleaned with alcohol to disinfect the area.
  • If you are opting for the HairGrow™ regime (highly recommended), the consultant will assist with the Microneedling for Scalp treatment first.
  • The consultant will place the LLLT helmet on for you.
  • The treatment will take 20 minutes, and you can relax and use your mobile while the treatment is in progress.
  • The treatment is over. The consultant will keep a record of your progress.
Clinical studies have shown that the lasers in the LLLT laser helmet stimulate the growth of new and healthy hair.

Is LLLT Backed by Science?

  • Clinical studies have shown that the lasers in the LLLT laser helmet stimulate the growth of new and healthy hair.
  • The lasers also slow hair loss and can even stop hair loss, even with hereditary hair loss.
  • In addition, the use of the helmet doubles the hair follicle size of existing hair, so the hair also thickens.
  • Laser therapy with the LLLT helmet also helps to improve hair growth after a hair transplant or chemotherapy treatment.
  • The recovery is better and faster. In addition, the quality of the hair is better than without an after-treatment.

Study 1: Low-Level Laser (Light) Therapy (LLLT) for Treatment of Hair Loss (2013) [source]

  • In 2013, a study was conducted with 15 patients using a device stimulating LLLT (6000 to 1600nm).
  • The patients’ scalps were irradiated regularly with the device.
  • As a result of this study, 47% of the patients’ hair growth occured in 1.6 months earlier in irradiated areas than in non-irradiated areas.

Study 2: The growth of human scalp hair mediated by visible red light laser and LED sources in males. (2013) [Source]

  • 48 males were recruited. 22 males were subjected to the LLLT helmet with 5MW lasers and 30 LEDS (655+20nm). The remaining 19 were placebo.
  • Based on this study, there was a 35% increase in hair growth for the males with the LLLT helmet.
  • LLLT of the scalp at 655 nm significantly improved hair counts in males with androgenetic alopecia.
