The derm will first browse thru your scalp and see the pattern of your hairloss, see if got scalp problems (i.e. infections, etc) and blood test may be ordered to check for hormonal imbalance, iron level, etc.
Then, you may be prescribed medications such as minoxidil, shampoo, etc.. and ordered to go and have some pics taken (probably to track your progress with the medication).
You go back a 1-4 weeks later for your blood test results and dependent on the results and your gender, you may be prescribed more minoxidil (higher dosage).
Minoxidil works only when you are on it. I tried for 6 months.. A drastic improvement after showering.. BUT when I stopped using for 2 weeks, hair seems began to drop and seemed like the number of hair drop is worse than before.
Currently on this brand Rene Furterer (pre-shampoo treatment + shampoo + hair tonic). Improvement is gradual and slower, compared to minoxidil.
Pros:
1. When I stopped using Rene Furterer for close to 2 months, the side effects are not as bad as Minoxidil.
2. Is made up of essential oils, etc. So, its probably not as harmful as compared to minoxidil.
3. Realised some hair growing after 6 months of continued use.
4. Side effects not as bad when ceased usage.
Cons:
1. Effects slower.
2. Much more expensive than Minoxidil.
Hi all,
Im wondering wat tests does nsc do to determine the cause of hairloss? any1?
im currently seeing SGH specialist (dermatologist) for acne. My acne have improved alot. Do they do the same tests too as nsc?
1 of my frds and 1 cousin had hair transplant, but not from Eileen Tan.
Cost between $5 to $18 per follicle, with a minimum number of follicles (think its between 1000 to 1500 follicles if I remember correctly).
Results looks good. Fuller hair. But think not everyone are suitable for hair transplant.
hi,
anybody tried Eileen Tan Hair Transplant b4?
Price ?
Result?
