Introduction: You’re losing your hair. Here’s how to fix it.

If you’re one of the millions of men who start to lose their hair in their 20s, whether in Singapore or elsewhere in the world, you may be wondering how to stop the progression of hair loss.

In this article, we’ll discuss some of the most effective ways to treat hair loss.

The problem: Hair loss is a common problem, but it can be upsetting.

Hair loss is a common problem that can be upsetting. It can happen to men, women, and children of all ages. It can be caused by many things, including medical conditions, medications, and stress. There are many ways to treat hair loss, depending on the cause.

“Don’t let hair loss define you – take control and find a solution that works for you!”

The cause: There are many possible causes of hair loss.

If only hair could speak, it would probably tell us that the list of culprits for its untimely departure is longer than a CVS receipt. From genetics to stress, medication to nutrition, and even wearing tight hats (yes, you read that right), it seems like everything and anything can trigger hair loss. So, if you’re experiencing some follicular fallout, don’t fret. Just take a deep breath, and maybe invest in some stylish headwear.

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

Aging Process

Aging Process: 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.

As we age, our hair follicles gradually produce less melanin, which is the pigment that gives our hair its color. This process is called graying. In addition to graying, many of us experience thinning hair as we age. This is due to a combination of factors: the aging of the hair follicle, a decrease in the number of scalp hairs, and a decrease in the diameter of each individual hair shaft.

While it’s natural for our hair to change as we age, there are things we can do to keep our locks looking healthy and lustrous. First, eat a healthy diet rich in protein, vitamins A and C, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients are essential for maintaining healthy skin and hair. Second, use gentle shampoos and conditioners that won’t strip away natural oils.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata: There are also a number of medical conditions that can cause hair loss, such as alopecia areata (an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss), trichotillomania (a disorder that causes people to pull out their own hair), and scalp psoriasis (a condition that can lead to temporary hair loss). Alopecia areata is a condition that causes hair loss on the scalp. It can also cause hair loss on the face, chest, and other parts of the body. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder. This means that the body’s immune system attacks healthy cells by mistake. Alopecia areata is not contagious. It can occur at any age, but it is most common in children and young adults. There is no cure for alopecia areata, but treatments are available to help hair regrow.

Medication can cause hair loss

Medication can cause hair loss: Certain medications can also cause hair loss as a side effect, such as chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer. Hair loss can be a side effect of medication. The most common type of hair loss is anagen effluvium, which is when the medication causes the hair follicle to go into a resting phase too early. This type of hair loss is usually temporary and the hair will grow back once the person stops taking the medication. However, some medications can cause permanent hair loss. If you are concerned about hair loss, speak to your doctor about alternative medications.

The solution: There are many ways to treat hair loss.

There are many ways to treat hair loss, but not all of them are effective. Some common treatments include medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes.

Medications for hair loss

Medications for hair loss: Medications for hair loss include minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia). Minoxidil is a topical medication that is applied to the scalp twice daily. It is thought to work by increasing blood flow to the scalp and by stimulating new hair growth. Finasteride is a pill that is taken once daily. It works by decreasing the amount of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that contributes to hair loss.

Hair transplant surgery

Hair transplant surgery: Hair transplant surgery is a procedure that surgically moves hair follicles from a donor site to a balding or thinning area of the scalp. This surgery can be used to treat male or female pattern baldness, as well as other forms of hair loss.

Hair transplant surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning the patient does not need to stay overnight in the hospital. The surgery itself takes several hours, and patients can expect to see results within 6-12 months.

If you are considering hair transplant surgery, it is important to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing this procedure. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your candidacy for surgery and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

Microneedling for scalp

Microneedling for scalp: Microneedling is a new treatment for hair loss that shows promise. The treatment involves using a device to create tiny punctures in the skin, which stimulate the production of collagen and help to improve blood flow to the scalp. microneedling has been shown to be effective in treating other conditions, such as wrinkles and scars, and there is reason to believe that it could also be effective in treating hair loss.

While more research is needed to confirm the efficacy of microneedling for hair loss, the treatment shows promise and may offer a new option for those looking for alternatives to traditional treatments such as medication or surgery.

See the table below for a breakdown of the benefits of Microneedling on Scalp for hair growth or hair regrowth.

Benefits	Details
Increases blood circulation	– Microneedling creates tiny punctures on the scalp – Which stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles – This increased circulation can help to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth.
Induces collagen production	– Microneedling can induce the production of collagen – Which is a protein that is essential for healthy hair growth – Collagen helps to strengthen hair follicles and improve the elasticity of the scalp, which can prevent hair breakage and hair loss.
Reduces inflammation	– Microneedling can reduce inflammation on the scalp – Which can be a contributing factor to hair loss – By reducing inflammation, microneedling can create a healthier environment for hair growth.
Enhances absorption of topical treatments	– Microneedling can enhance the absorption of topical treatments – Such as minoxidil or hair growth serums – The tiny punctures created by microneedling can help these treatments to penetrate deeper into the scalp, increasing their effectiveness.
Improves overall scalp health	– Microneedling can improve overall scalp health – By removing dead skin cells and unclogging hair follicles – This can create a healthier environment for hair growth and prevent conditions such as dandruff and scalp acne.

Prevention: You can prevent hair loss by taking care of your hair.

How you take care of your hair on a daily basis has a big impact on whether or not you’ll experience hair loss. While there are many causes of hair loss, including genetics, medical conditions, and medications, there are also many things you can do to prevent hair loss.

Here are some tips for preventing hair loss:

-Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals and hot water, which can damage your hair and scalp.

-Brush your hair gently, using a wide-toothed comb. Avoid tight ponytails and hairstyles that pull on your hair.

-Eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of protein, iron, and other nutrients essential for healthy hair growth.

-Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, both of which can contribute to hair loss.

Conclusion: Hair loss is a common problem, but it can be treated.

In conclusion, hair loss is a common problem, but it can be treated. If you are experiencing hair loss, talk to your doctor to find out what treatment options are available to you. With the right treatment, you can regain your confidence and your hair.

Is Microneedling for Scalp Hair Growth Treatment Backed By Science?

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

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

• In 2013, 100 men with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) were recruited to take part in a study which tested the effects of microneedling on hair growth. 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

Study 2: Response to Microneedling Treatment in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia Who Failed to Respond to Conventional Therapy (2015)  [source]

• In 2015, researchers recruited four men who had been on 5 percent minoxidil solution for the past two to five years (9). While their hair loss didn’t continue, there were no signs of growth.
• The four men were subjected to microneedling sessions over a six-month period combined with their current therapies.
• A 7-point evaluation scale was used to track results, and the men were followed up with for 18 months to assess treatment sustainability.
• The patients experienced a +2 or +3 on the standardised evaluation scale, and new hair growth was noted after 8 – 10 sessions. Even further, these results were sustained over 18 months.
• This is the first case series to report the boosting effect of microneedling with respect to new hair follicle stimulation in patients with androgenetic alopecia who were poor responders to conventional therapy.
