Ideal for: Those seeking advanced solutions for hair loss
A surprisingly common autoimmune condition, alopecia areata affects about two percent of people globally (celebrities Jada Pinkett Smith and Viola Davis are among them). Symptoms include patchy hair loss on the scalp and body due to immune system attacks on hair follicles.
At Angeline Yong Dermatology, dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon Dr Yong specialises in medical and surgical treatments to mitigate such hair woes. One example is the use of Jak inhibitors, also known as Janus Kinase inhibitors. A cutting-edge medication that can be "life-changing for patients suffering from recalcitrant and extensive alopecia areata", it helps modulate the immune response and block inflammatory pathways, which in turn reduces inflammation around the hair follicles and promotes hair regrowth.
Another promising solution is exosome therapy. Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles naturally produced by cells in the body. They play an important role in cell-to-cell communication and can be used to stimulate hair growth in those suffering from pattern hair loss or telogen effluvium (temporary hair loss after severe stress).
For other types of hair loss, Dr Yong recommends microneedling on the scalp, to enhance the absorption of topical medications and hair growth serums. This procedure increases blood circulation, triggers the release of hair growth factors, and stimulates collagen production, all of which contribute to promoting hair growth and preventing further hair loss. Dr Yong can tailor a personalised hair-loss treatment plan for your needs.
