Hair Loss Medical Consultation

Medical consultation with an SMC-registered hair and aesthetics specialist to assess hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and suitability for surgical or non-surgical hair restoration. Includes clinical evaluation and personalised treatment plan.

The Hair Loss Medical Consultation at Dr Tyng Tan Aesthetics and Hair Clinic provides patients with a structured clinical assessment by an SMC-registered physician who specialises exclusively in hair restoration and medical aesthetics. This is the recommended starting point for anyone experiencing hair thinning, receding hairline, patchy hair loss, scalp concerns, or considering hair transplant surgery. During the consultation, the doctor evaluates the pattern and extent of hair loss using standardised grading systems — the Norwood-Hamilton scale for male androgenetic alopecia and the Ludwig scale for female pattern hair loss — alongside a clinical trichoscopy assessment of the scalp to examine follicle density, miniaturisation levels, scalp inflammation, and donor zone characteristics. A detailed medical history covering family history of hair loss, hormonal status, medications, nutritional factors, and any prior hair treatments is taken to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and other aetiologies. For patients considering hair transplant surgery, the consultation assesses donor zone density and quality, recipient zone requirements, and whether the patient's hair characteristics (hair calibre, curliness, colour) are likely to produce an aesthetically natural result. The surgeon discusses realistic expectations for graft counts, technique selection (no-shave FUE, partially shaved FUE, fully shaved FUE, or FUT), procedural costs, and recovery timelines. For patients pursuing non-surgical management, the doctor outlines evidence-based options including Regenera Activa micrografts, regenerative hair booster treatments, low-level laser therapy, and medical therapies such as finasteride or minoxidil where appropriate, tailoring the plan to the patient's presentation, lifestyle, and goals. The clinic operates by appointment; consultations are conducted personally by the specialist and are not delegated to coordinators or nurses.
