Male Hair Loss Guide: Types Of Hair Loss Treatments Available in Singapore

Hair Loss 101: Causes, Signs & What You Can Do

Hair loss affects many men—but it doesn’t have to catch you off guard. In this guide, we break down the common types of hair loss, how to spot the signs early, and what non-invasive options are available to support healthy hair.

Types of Hair Loss and Their Causes

1. Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) (Male Pattern Baldness)
The most common form of hair loss in men, androgenetic alopecia is typically caused by a combination of age, hormones, and genetics.

2. Alopecia Areata
This autoimmune condition causes the immune system to mistakenly attack hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body.

Other Causes of Hair Loss
‍Chronic illness
Scalp diseases
Medication side effects
Tight hairstyles (yes, even your man bun)

Signs You’re Starting to Bald

1. Receding Hairline
If your hairline is moving back or forming an “M” shape, it could be an early sign of male pattern baldness.

2. Thinning at the Crown
Hair thinning from the top of your head may not be obvious at first. Try snapping progress photos in front of a mirror every few months to track changes.

3. More Hair in the Shower or Brush
Losing up to 50 hairs a day is normal. If you’re losing over 100 consistently, especially over a long period, it may be time to take action.

What Isn’t a Sign of Balding?

A widow’s peak (this is often just your natural hairline)
A bald family member (you might not share their genes)
A few loose hairs on your pillow
An itchy scalp
Hair that looks thin when wet

Non-Prescription Hair Loss Solutions

Hair Growth Shampoos & Conditioners
Look for formulas with ingredients like:
Ketoconazole: Supports scalp health and reduces dandruff.
Redensyl: A plant-based active known to encourage hair growth by targeting follicle stem cells.

These products can improve hair strength, reduce breakage, and support overall hair health.

Scalp Treatments

Professional or at-home scalp treatments can:
- Stimulate blood flow to nourish hair follicles
- Deliver essential nutrients like vitamins and proteins
- Soothe inflammation that may affect growth

Laser Therapy
‍Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) uses red light to energize hair follicles and promote thicker, healthier hair. It’s non-invasive and increasingly popular.

Aesthetic Clinics
‍Some clinics offer in-depth scalp analyses, exfoliation, and light-based therapies designed to support regrowth and improve scalp health—without requiring medication.
