Male pattern baldness affects 30-50% of men by age 50, but women often face more stigma associated with hair loss.
It is more than just hair loss, it feels like a loss of their femininity and beauty.
Difference between hair loss, hair thinning and hair breakage
The definition of hair loss is a reduction in the total number of hair follicles on the scalp, not the generation of new hairs or premature hair loss. People who are affected by hair loss typically notice a receding hairline, thinning hair, widening of lines, or even isolated bald spots, sometimes with or without scalp changes, which could indicate underlying issues.
Hair thinning occurs when the thickness of an individual’s hair strands decreases, making the hair appear less voluminous and dense.
Hair breakage causes shorter strands and split ends. So in standard terms, hair loss appears as a receding hairline, crown thinning, or total balding. Hair breakage will appear as slightly frizzier hair, leading to hair snapping or split ends.
Difference & similarity between hair loss in men and women
The most common cause of hair loss in men is endogenous alopecia, and the same is true for women. The incidence is much higher in men, at about 63% in Singapore, compared with slightly less than 40% in women with a similar condition.
The age of hair loss in men peaked in the 40s, while in women it peaked in the 50s. It often occurs during postpartum or menopause.
The genetic predisposition to hair loss in men and women is often influenced by genetics.
Hair loss is usually classified differently for men and women. By medical classification, there are seven stages of hair loss for men in general, which basically describe the severity, from just receding highlights to crowning and all the way to total balding.
For ladies, it’s a bit simpler. There are basically three stages of hair loss: early progressive, advanced, and the extent of the bald patch. There are often different treatments for patients at various stages of hair loss.
Psychological impact of female pattern hair loss
Even though the condition is not serious, it can cause significant emotional distress and low self-image for those who are affected, which can lower the quality of life, which may not even reflect the actual amount of hair loss. For example, the patient may be experiencing only a small amount of hair loss.
However, it may actually have a significant impact on life, confidence, and so on. It can also lead to other health issues, such as chronic stress.
The powerful effect of hair loss can be as challenging as those dealing with life-threatening illnesses.
Follicle Renewal Hair Therapy
At Amaris B. Clinic, we recognise this.
Our Follicle Renewal Hair Therapy is clinically supported, combining the dual action of RF microneedling and exosome therapy to address thinning hair as a source, without the need for surgery.
While genetics plays a role, thinning often stems from collagen depletion, reduced blood flow and chronic scalp inflammation. Traditional topical applications and methods can reach these underlying issues. Follicle renewal targets them at their source.
We use a combination of radiofrequency microneedling and exosome therapy. Using fine needles to make tiny punctures in the scalp, the blood flow will be enhanced to the targeted areas, creating temporary microchannels that prepare the pathway for exosome delivery.
RF energy is delivered through these micro-needles, heating the dermis and deeper layers and thereby stimulating collagen rebuilding. This stimulation helps to reactivate dormant hair follicles, further strengthening the existing hair and encouraging new hair growth. Specially prepared exosomes are applied to the scalp.
After RF microneedling, exosomes will penetrate deep into the scalp via the microchannels. These exosomes will help stimulate dermal papilla cells, prolong the energetic phase, and restore scalp homeostasis.
The combination of RF micro-needling and exosomes enables deeper exosome penetration, while RF micro-needling amplifies their regenerative messaging. In summary, it helps to rejuvenate the follicle microenvironment, improve scar structural integrity, and support sustained hair density.
