Evidence-based medical treatment is the cornerstone of any effective hair loss protocol. Dr Sin Yong prescribes and oversees a structured stepwise medication protocol — oral and topical therapy alongside nutritional supplementation, exosome topicals and blood test monitoring.
No laser treatment, exosome injection 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.
Blocks the DHT pathway at the follicle. The most evidence-supported medical treatment for androgenetic alopecia. Prescribed in appropriate candidates after discussion of benefits and risks.
A vasodilator that prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Available as solution or foam. Effective independently of DHT and can be used in both men and women.
For patients who wish to reduce systemic exposure, this route delivers active therapy to the scalp with lower systemic absorption than the oral form.
Anti-androgen approach 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.
“Patients looking for a hair loss dermatologist in Singapore are usually weighing two routes. One acts on circulation, the other on the androgen pathway. They are not alternatives to one another.”
Dr Sin YongOn combining hair loss medications
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, including liver function where oral therapy is used. Monitoring ensures treatments are effective and well-tolerated, and allows early detection of any contributing nutritional deficiencies that can be corrected to accelerate response.

Yes. Oral hair-loss therapy requires prescription in Singapore and must be assessed and prescribed by a licensed doctor. Dr Sin Yong assesses and oversees oral therapy as part of the hair loss protocol.
Oral therapy must be taken continuously to maintain its effect. Stopping typically results in resumption of hair loss within 3–6 months. Most patients who respond well remain on it long-term.
The clinically formulated supplement used contains a proprietary blend including saw palmetto, biotin, zinc, selenium, and other micronutrients formulated to support hair follicle health and reduce shedding.
Yes. Medical therapy alone (oral and/or topical) can effectively slow hair loss and stimulate some regrowth. Adding Luminescence Laser and exosome injections significantly enhances outcomes, 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.
