Understanding Hair Loss
Hair loss can occur in various patterns and may affect both men and women. Common types include:
Androgenetic Alopecia (Male or Female Pattern Hair Loss): Characterised by thinning at the crown or receding hairline in men, and generalised thinning along the parting in women.
Telogen Effluvium: A form of diffuse hair shedding often triggered by stress, illness, childbirth, or dietary changes.
Alopecia Areata: A condition involving patchy hair loss that may be autoimmune in origin.
Scarring Alopecia: Less common, this type of hair loss involves inflammation that can damage hair follicles permanently.
Contributing factors include:
Genetics
Hormonal fluctuations (e.g. DHT sensitivity)
Nutritional deficiencies
Scalp health issues
Stress or lifestyle changes
Certain medications or medical conditions
What is EHA Hair Rescue Program?
The EHA HairRescue Program is suitable for individuals experiencing hair thinning, increased hair fall, or visible scalp areas due to reduced hair density. The program aims to address multiple contributing factors by combining both medical and procedural options tailored to the individual’s condition.
Who is the Program For?
The EHA Hair Rescue Program is suitable for those in the early to moderate stages of hair loss, as well as individuals seeking clinical management before or after hair restoration procedures.
It may be appropriate for those who:
Notice increased hair fall, widening parting, or receding hairlines
Have been diagnosed with or show signs of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)
Are recovering from telogen effluvium, such as hair shedding following illness, childbirth, or stress
Experience patchy hair loss, which may suggest autoimmune or inflammatory causes (e.g. alopecia areata)
Have concerns about scalp health or scalp inflammation affecting hair density
Are seeking a structured, medical approach to explore non-surgical options for hair support
Are considering hair transplant procedures FUE Hair Transplant Singapore and would like to stabilise or manage existing hair before or after surgery
A consultation is required to determine the underlying cause and whether the treatment options in the program are suitable for your condition. Each plan is tailored to the individual’s scalp health, medical history, and treatment goals.
What is Included in the Program?
Oral HairLoss Supplementation (e.g. Nourkrin® Hair Growth+ or DHT Blockers)
Nourkrin® Hair Growth+ is a clinically studied oral supplement containing marine proteins, biotin, and other micronutrients. It is taken daily to support normal hair growth cycles and overall hair health. It may be recommended as part of a long-term scalp and hair support strategy.
In cases of androgenetic alopecia, oral medication that helps block dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — a hormone linked to hair follicle miniaturisation — may be prescribed. These treatments are available only under medical supervision and are selected based on clinical suitability.
Topical HairLoss Medication
Topical treatments may be prescribed as part of the program.
Minoxidil is a commonly used topical agent that may help stimulate blood flow and prolong the hair growth phase. It is applied directly to the scalp and may be used as part of a long-term hair maintenance plan.
Other options includes AnteAGE MD® Home Hair System. This is a home-use system that includes a serum and microneedling device designed to support the scalp environment. The serum contains growth factors and peptides aimed at promoting healthier follicles. Microneedling may assist in product penetration. This system is typically used alongside in-clinic care.
Regenera Activa
This is an autologous treatment where micro-grafts are extracted from the patient’s scalp and re-injected into thinning areas. The grafts contain progenitor cells and growth factors that may help to revitalise existing hair follicles.
FUE Hair Transplant
This procedure involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and implanting them into areas of thinning or baldness. It is a surgical treatment performed under local anaesthesia and may be recommended for patients with significant hair loss and sufficient donor hair.
How does the program work?
Step 1: Medical Assessment and Diagnosis
A consultation with the doctor is carried out to assess the pattern, severity, and possible causes of hair loss. This may involve physical examination, medical history review, and in some cases, further investigation.
Step 2: Individualised Plan Development
Based on the assessment, a personalised program is proposed. Not all treatments will be used for every patient. Only those deemed clinically suitable will be included. The plan may involve topical products, oral supplements, procedural treatments, or a combination depending on the needs of the individual.
Step 3: Treatment Phase
Treatments are administered according to the outlined plan. This may involve regular clinic visits for procedures (e.g. Regenera, FUE), prescribed medication, or home-based topical applications. Frequency and duration vary depending on the method and patient response.
Step 4: Monitoring and Maintenance
Follow-up consultations are scheduled to monitor progress, adjust treatment as needed, and provide ongoing support. Hair restoration, if recommended, may be considered after stabilising active hair loss.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Hair Rescue Program?
The Hair Rescue Program is a medically supervised, customised approach designed to address hair and scalp concerns—such as thinning hair, increased shedding, reduced hair density, or scalp health issues—by combining clinical evaluation, targeted treatments, and ongoing support.
Who might be suitable for this program?
You may be suitable if you:
Are experiencing noticeable hair thinning, increased hair fall (beyond normal 50-100 strands/day), or reduced hair volume.
Have a healthy general condition and realistic expectations about hair and scalp restoration.
Do not have untreated scalp infections, uncontrolled medical conditions affecting hair growth (such as thyroid disease, severe nutritional deficiency) or active contraindications.
A full assessment will determine suitability, and your clinician will review your medical history, scalp/hair condition, and lifestyle factors.
What types of treatments are included?
Depending on your individual needs, the program may include:
Detailed scalp and hair assessment (including hair density, follicle health, shedding pattern)
Non-invasive scalp therapies (e.g., strengthening treatments, stimulation devices)
Medical-grade topical/supportive treatments under physician supervision
Nutritional / lifestyle advice (diet, stress, sleep, hair care routines)
A tailored maintenance and review plan to monitor progress and adjust as needed
How many sessions are needed and when can I expect to see changes?
The number of sessions depends on the underlying cause of thinning, scalp condition, extent of hair loss, and your response to treatment.
Some improvement (such as reduced shedding or slightly fuller appearance) may be noticed within a few months.
Full outcomes will depend on individual factors including hair cycle, age, genetics, lifestyle and adherence to aftercare.
Maintenance phases may be recommended to preserve progress.
What are the possible risks or side-effects?
Since the program involves medically supervised treatments, you may experience mild and temporary effects such as scalp tingling, redness, or slight discomfort depending on the modality used.
More serious adverse events are rare but may include infection, allergic reaction, or unsatisfactory response.
Your clinician will explain risks, contraindications and expected after-care prior to commencing.
Is this program the same as a hair transplant?
No. The Hair Rescue Program focuses on restoring and improving hair and scalp health through clinical and non-surgical means. If you are considering a hair transplant (surgical follicle transfer), your clinician will advise whether you would be better served by a transplant or a combined approach.
What should I do before starting the program?
Disclose your full medical history, medications (including supplements), family history of hair loss, and any previous hair or scalp treatments.
Avoid self-treating with high-strength products (unless physician-supervised) just before the consultation.
Follow any pre-treatment instructions given by the clinic (e.g., stop certain topical applications, avoid harsh scalp treatments for a short period).
Have realistic expectations: hair restoration and improvement take time and are influenced by multiple factors.
What aftercare is required?
Follow the clinic’s instructions on scalp/home care, including gentle cleansing, avoiding harsh chemical treatments (e.g., bleaching) during early phases, and protective sun/scalp care.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle: good nutrition, adequate sleep, stress management and avoiding smoking may support outcomes.
Attend review appointments as scheduled so the plan can be adjusted according to your response.
How much does the program cost and is it covered by MediSave or insurance?
The cost depends on the initial assessment, diagnostic findings, number of sessions recommended, scalp/hair condition and any adjunctive treatments.
Because this program is largely elective / aesthetic in nature (rather than for an urgent medical condition), it is generally not covered by MediSave. Insurance coverage depends on your policy, and you should verify with your insurer whether hair-and-scalp programs are included.
How do I choose a safe clinic for hair and scalp care?
Ensure you are treated by a licensed medical doctor who is registered with the Singapore Medical Council.
Confirm that the clinic uses approved equipment and follows stringent hygiene, consent and after-care protocols.
Ask for a clear consultation where the cause of hair thinning/scalp issue is discussed, realistic outcomes are explained, risks are outlined, and a full plan including cost is presented in writing.
