Male pattern baldness: what is it and how common is it in Singapore?
Male pattern baldness is a common hair loss condition affecting many men in Singapore. As an aesthetic director, I often get queries about this issue from my male clients.
It typically starts with a receding hairline, followed by thinning hair at the crown. Over time, the hairline recedes further, forming an M-shaped pattern. The crown area may go completely bald, leaving just a horseshoe pattern of hair around the sides and back.
In Singapore, studies show male pattern baldness affects around 63% of men, increasing with age from 32% in those aged 17-26 years. While it’s more prevalent in certain ethnicities, no man is immune. Genetics play a key role – if your father or grandfather experienced it, you’re more likely to as well. But factors like hormones and age also contribute.

Minoxidil: how does it work, and what are the success rates?
As an aesthetic director, I often get asked about minoxidil – the popular hair loss treatment. Let me break it down for you.
Minoxidil is a vasodilator. It increases blood flow to the hair follicles, providing nutrients for growth. It also prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Pretty neat, right?
Now, success rates vary. Age plays a role – minoxidil works better for those under 40. The extent of hair loss matters too. If you catch it early, you’ll see better results.
I had a client, Susan, who started using minoxidil when she first noticed thinning. After six months of diligent use, she saw new baby hairs sprouting. A year later, her hair was visibly thicker and fuller.
Of course, consistency is key. If you stop using minoxidil, that new growth will shed. But stick with it, and you could be rewinding those hairline clocks. Just be patient – it can take 4–6 months to see real progress.
Finasteride: how does it work, and what are the success rates?
Finasteride works by blocking an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). High DHT levels can shrink hair follicles, leading to male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT, finasteride helps stop hair loss and promote regrowth.
Studies show finasteride is highly effective. Around 90% of men experience no further hair loss while using it. And get this – over 65% of men see increased hair count and regrowth after one year of treatment. Pretty impressive, right?
I’ve had clients who saw noticeable improvements within 3-4 months of starting finasteride. Of course, results can vary, but the key is consistency. Stick with the treatment, and you’re likely to see those luscious locks coming back. Just remember, finasteride only works as long as you keep taking it.
Hair Transplants: The Inside Scoop
I get asked about hair transplants a lot. And I totally understand why – thinning hair or balding can be a real confidence-killer. The good news? Hair transplants are an incredibly effective solution.
Here’s the deal. There are two main techniques: FUT (follicular unit transplantation) and FUE (follicular unit extraction). With FUT, the surgeon removes a strip of hair from the back of your scalp. With FUE, they extract individual follicles one by one.
Both methods involve transplanting those healthy follicles to the thinning areas. Sounds simple, right? But the skill lies in replicating your natural hair growth patterns. An experienced surgeon can achieve amazingly natural-looking results.
As for success rates, we’re talking 95-100% with FUE transplants. That means around 95% of transplanted grafts will not just survive, but thrive! I’ve seen clients get a full, thick head of hair after just one treatment.
Scalp Microneedling: how does it work and what are the success rates?
As an aesthetic director, I often get asked about scalp microneedling for hair growth. It’s a minimally invasive treatment that creates tiny punctures on the scalp. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood flow and collagen production.
The process is simple. We use a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the scalp. This boosts nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, promoting growth. It also enhances absorption of topical treatments like minoxidil.
Success rates vary, but most see positive results within three to six months. It works best for androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. I recommend combining it with other hair loss treatments for optimal results.
In one study compiled by Wellaholic, scalp RF microneedling was shown to increase hair density by up to 40% after 12 weeks of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What percentage of Singaporean men experience hair loss by the age of 40, and how does this change with age?
Based on my experience and the studies I’ve seen, around 40-50% of Singaporean men experience some degree of hair loss by age 40. One local study found that 32% of men aged 17-26 already had androgenetic alopecia, the most common type of hair loss. This percentage increases significantly with age, reaching nearly 100% for those in their 80s. So while hair loss often starts relatively early for many Singaporean men, it becomes much more prevalent as they get older, affecting the majority of men by their 50s and 60s. The key is to address it proactively with proven treatments if it’s a concern.
Which Hair Loss Treatment is Best for Men?
Hi there! Serene here. When it comes to treating hair loss in men, the best approach depends on the individual. Finasteride and minoxidil are the most effective medications, with studies showing they can slow hair loss and even regrow some hair. Hair transplant surgery is a permanent but costly solution. Low-level laser therapy and PRP injections show promise but need more research. Lifestyle changes like managing stress, eating well and using thickening shampoos can help too. I always recommend seeing a dermatologist to determine the cause of your hair loss and tailor a treatment plan. With some patience and the right combination of treatments, most men can slow down hair loss and maintain the hair they have.
How Much Does Hair Loss Treatment Cost for Men?
The cost of hair loss treatment for men in Singapore varies. Topical medications range from SGD 30 to SGD 100 per month, oral medications from SGD 50 to SGD 150 per month, and hair transplants can cost between SGD 8,000 and SGD 15,000.
What is the Best Solution for Hair Fall for Men?
The best solution for hair fall in men often involves a combination of treatments. Regular use of Minoxidil, Finasteride, and lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and stress management can significantly reduce hair fall.
What is the success rate of hair transplants in Singapore, and what factors influence this?
Hair transplants in Singapore have a high success rate, with about 85% to 95% of transplanted hairs growing successfully within six months. Factors influencing success include donor hair quality, balding area size, surgeon skill, and post-operative care.
Can hair loss treatments be less effective due to environmental factors specific to Singapore?
Yes, hair loss treatments in Singapore can be less effective due to our hot and humid climate. The high humidity causes our scalp to produce more oil, which can clog hair follicles and make it harder for hair to grow. Pollution in the air also contributes to this by settling on the scalp and aggravating it further. While treatments like medications, hair transplants, and laser therapy can help, it’s important to also maintain a healthy scalp by washing regularly with a gentle shampoo, protecting your hair from the sun, and managing stress levels.
Is PRP Banned in Singapore?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is not banned in Singapore. It’s a recognized treatment for hair loss, involving injecting a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. In the context of hair loss, PRP is used to stimulate dormant hair follicles.
