Physician-prescribed therapies that slow loss and support regrowth: the medical layer of hair loss treatment in Singapore, directed by Medical Director Dr Sin Yong.
Anti-hair-loss medication is the medical foundation of hair restoration at IN Eternity Clinic: a prescription that lowers scalp DHT, topical minoxidil to lengthen the growth phase, and, where suitable, selected anti-androgens for some women, nutritional support and blood-test monitoring. It slows miniaturisation and protects follicles that are still active; it does not revive follicles that have gone, and it works only while it is continued.
No laser treatment, exosome topical or supplement can compensate for uncontrolled DHT-driven follicle miniaturisation. The medical foundation — addressing the hormonal driver of hair loss with prescription medications — must be established first. Energy treatments and growth factor therapies then build on this foundation to maximise regrowth potential.
Dr Sin Yong's anti-hair-loss medication protocol is structured as a seven-step programme. Steps are introduced progressively based on diagnosis, response and tolerance. Not every patient requires all seven steps — the protocol is personalised at consultation.
5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces scalp DHT. A well-established, evidence-supported medical treatment for androgenetic alopecia. Prescribed in appropriate candidates after discussion of benefits and risks.
Vasodilator that prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Available as solution or foam. Minoxidil is effective independently of DHT and can be used in both men and women.
For patients who wish to reduce systemic DHT exposure, a topical prescription formulation delivers active medication to the scalp with lower systemic absorption than oral formulations.
Anti-androgen used in selected female patients with androgenetic alopecia or hormonal hair loss where conventional treatments are insufficient.
A clinically formulated nutritional supplement containing saw palmetto, biotin, zinc, and key micronutrients shown to support hair follicle health. Used alongside medical treatment for nutritional support.
An exosome-based scalp topical containing growth factors and signalling molecules. Applied daily to maintain growth factor delivery to follicles between clinic sessions.
Dr Sin Yong monitors hair loss treatment response and safety through structured blood testing. Baseline bloods assess for contributing factors (ferritin, iron, thyroid, zinc, hormone levels). Follow-up bloods at 3–6 months monitor treatment response and safety parameters (liver function for oral prescription medication). Monitoring ensures treatments are effective and well-tolerated, and allows early detection of any contributing nutritional deficiencies that can be corrected to accelerate response.
“A medicine that lowers DHT protects the follicles you still have. It cannot bring back one that has already gone, which is why the timing of treatment matters more than the brand.”
Yes. Oral anti-androgen hair loss medication is prescription-only in Singapore and must be prescribed by a licensed doctor after appropriate assessment. Dr Sin Yong prescribes and oversees this medication as part of the hair loss protocol.
The medication must be taken continuously to maintain its effect. Stopping the medication typically results in resumption of hair loss within 3–6 months. Most patients who respond well remain on the medication long-term.
Nourkin TricoVerde contains a proprietary blend including saw palmetto (a mild 5-alpha reductase inhibitor), biotin, zinc, selenium, and other micronutrients formulated to support hair follicle health and reduce shedding.
Yes. Medical treatment alone (prescription and/or topical medication) can effectively slow hair loss and stimulate some regrowth. Luminescence Laser and topically applied exosome products may be added for support, but they are not prerequisites.
A baseline panel typically includes: serum ferritin, total iron, TIBC, TSH (thyroid), free T4, zinc, full blood count, liver function, and hormone panel (testosterone, DHT, SHBG) as appropriate. Results guide treatment selection and allow identification of correctable contributing deficiencies.
Pricing depends on the protocol chosen, the extent of the area and how many sessions your plan involves. Because hair-loss plans are individual, IN Eternity Clinic sets out the plan and cost at consultation rather than a fixed price.
Most patients tolerate the treatment well; sensation depends on the specific protocol and is managed with numbing or adjustable settings where relevant. What to expect is explained beforehand at IN Eternity Clinic.
Hair treatments work gradually and are delivered as a spaced course, with maintenance thereafter. The number of sessions depends on your degree of hair loss and response, and is planned at consultation.
It can. Some people notice extra shedding in the first weeks, as resting hairs are pushed out ahead of new growth. It usually settles, and stopping at this point is a common reason treatment appears to fail. Tell the clinic if shedding is heavy or lasts beyond a couple of months.
Not always. Topical minoxidil is used in both. Oral DHT-lowering medication is generally avoided in women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, and selected anti-androgens are considered only for some women after assessment and blood tests.
Usually not before three months. Response is judged at around three to six months by comparing standardised photographs and shedding, and density changes, where they occur, continue to build towards a year. Response varies between people.
