Whether it’s bald spots or a receding hairline, no one really wants to experience hair loss or thinning. By age 35, nearly 40% of men will suffer some form of hair loss – a number that rises to 65% for 60 years olds! It doesn’t have to be that way though; we get some information from top hair salons, aesthetic clinics and hair regrowth treatments on their solutions.
Papilla Haircare
Not keen on going under the knife? Hair loss and hair thinning centre Papilla Haircare specialises in non-surgical hair regrowth treatments that are backed by science. The centre works closely with a team of scientists, dermatologists and hair transplant surgeons to target a wide range of hair and scalp concerns, including involutional alopecia and androgenic alopecia.
A signature treatment here is the SEP Activator, an FDA-approved, needle-free procedure from Italy. Using Scalpelectroporation (SEP), low and controlled electrical pulses help to deliver stem cell-conditioned media into the scalp. The technology makes the skin tissues more permeable to macromolecules, allowing for potent serums to be absorbed into the skin up to 17 times better. The painless treatment is also more advanced than traditional Ionthophoresis (transdermal drug delivery using voltage gradient on the skin), which can cause damage to the tissues and cells, and electroporation, which can be uncomfortable as it uses high voltages on the skin.

Terra Medical Hair & Aesthetic Clinic
On top of being the first in Singapore to launch the highly raved Regenera Activa, this medical clinic is also known to have completed the most number of cases in Singapore to date. Led by an experienced team of experts, the clinic specialises solely in hair restoration.

The Clifford Clinic
Also known as follicular transfer, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant solution for male and female hormonal and genetic hair loss. During the procedure, individual follicular units are extracted directly from the patient’s donor area. Professional micro-surgery equipment is used, which results in less damage, less scarring and less downtime as compared to other hair loss procedures. In fact, most FUE patients are back to their normal activities the day following their surgery!
If you prefer something less invasive, try Regenera Activa, a quick and painless treatment using capillary regeneration technique. Hair cells are extracted from the back of the head, then mixed with a solution suspension and injected into the scalp. It can help to combat hair loss and prevent balding by activating dormant cells under the scalp and stimulating inactive hair follicles. The whole process takes around 30 to 45 minutes, and only one session is required. Results can be seen within 30 days.

Salon Kream
Located in Holland Village, this bright and spacious salon is a one-stop location for men’s hair and scalp needs. Salon Kream offers modern haircuts and customised services, catering mainly to Caucasian hair types. If you’re suffering from hair loss, we recommend the Kérastase hair thinning ritual ($98), which helps to remove excess sebum responsible for clogging the hair follicles and limiting hair growth.
Designed to treat thinning hair and hair loss from the roots, this 45-minute treatment works great as a lunchtime pick-me-up. Kérastase Specifique Acti-Base is first applied and massaged into your scalp, then your hair will be put under a steamer for 10 minutes to lock in the product. After which, your hair will be treated to the Kérastase Sensidote Dermo-Calm Masque for additional moisture. The hair follicles are made stronger and less prone to breakage, and the hair is left thicker and more resilient, while retaining volume and shine.

Chez Vous
Centrally located in Ngee Ann City, Chez Vous boasts a team of stylists with a minimum 10 years of experience, including a Caucasian specialist team for expat hair concerns! Our top pick for hair loss? The two-in-one Amplified Scalp Treats with Non-invasive Laser Therapy (starts from $200 for first trial), which involves three sessions of indulgent head massage packed into one service (to relieve tension and stimulate blood circulation), two fully customised scalp therapies and a Galvanic Ionizer to remove dead cells and impurities. On top of this, laser light is used to rejuvenate the scalp, while the electrical current and oxygen molecules exfoliates and improves blood circulation.

EstheClinic
Alleviate your hair-thinning woes with EstheClinic’s Slow & Regrowth Hair Loss treament, a three-step process that restores the scalp and promotes hair growth. First off, the LeDermaBooster XL is applied onto the scalp to stimulate and open ephemeral micro-channels in the surface. This allows for deeper penetration of the hair products, and prepares the scalp for the next phase too. The Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) then delivers a cool laser energy to the scalp tissue to strengthen the hair fibres and stop hair fall. Lastly, ElaDerm haircare products, which contain organic silicium, are used. These products reduce excessive sebum production, and keep the moisture balance of the scalp and hair follicles, so you can look forward to thicker, stronger, healthier hair with time. While results are usually visible within four to eight sessions, Estheclinic recommends 12 to 16 sessions for long-lasting effects.
