Hair loss and balding is a common and emotionally distressing condition that affects both men and women alike. It is estimated that over 40% of all men and women will have hair loss by age 35 and 70% by age 60. Unlike men however, female hair loss usually occurs in a more diffuse pattern, resulting in obvious thinning over all areas of the scalp. This is as opposed to men who either have receding hairline or crown pattern hair loss.
A particularly common type of female hair loss occurs 2 – 4 months after childbirth or from acute illness, crash dieting, physical or emotional stress.
The mainstay of hair rejuvenation or regrowth treatments so far have revolved around prescribed oral medication which is not suitable for women and which comes with the possibility of adverse effects to the libido in men, whilst topical medication and lotions tend to sting, burn and cause scalp itching and skin sensitivity.
SKN Laser Hair Rejuvenation treatments at SKN Medical Spa involves an in depth, detailed analysis by London and Australia-trained medical aesthetic doctors, Dr. Alvin Wong and Dr. Karen Chua. The husband and wife medical team will employ a specialised camera microscope system to ascertain the causes underlying each individual client’s hair problem before recommending treatment protocol and duration.
At the heart of the SKN Laser Hair Rejuvenation is the NuHair 670nm Cool Laser that effectively and precisely stimulates dormant phase hair follicles into the growth phase. The result is new, healthy hair that is thicker and fuller than before.
“SKN Laser Hair Rejuvenation allows you to take control of your hair loss and regrow lost hair. This program is clinically proven to rejuvenate hair growth in the vast majority of people who follow it,” says Dr. Alvin Wong, Medical Director of SKN Medical Spa.
“The best thing is that there are no short or long term side effects with this cool laser treatment. Our clients come in for half hourly sessions during their lunchbreak or after work on their way home or before going partying. There is absolutely no pain associated with any part of the treatment.” Says Dr. Alvin
“There aren’t a lot of options available to women who are losing hair, especially after childbirth. SKN Laser Hair Rejuvenation can help stop the progression of hair loss and regrow new hair. I have treated family members and my female staff and am glad to say that the treatment is effective for all hair types and will not dull that expensive hair highlight,” says Dr. Karen Chua, Aesthetic Physician, SKN Medical Spa.
This FDA approved Laser Hair Rejuvenation has been available in Europe and the US for the last 5 years and has just recently been launched in Asia. SKN Medical Spa is proud to be one of the first specialised centres in the region to offer this cutting edge treatment that is painless, yet effective.
About SKN Medical Spa
Our Medical Spa has beauty therapists performing facials, body treatments and massages working alongside 2 aesthetic doctors performing medical aesthetic procedures such as Botox and laser body contouring.
Our therapists have a minimum of five years experience both locally and abroad and all have certificated training. They then also undergo continuous weekly assessment and on the job training by the medical doctors.
The clean lines and blanc sur blanc interior décor of the medical spa apart from oozing Über cool appeal, reflects the sound medical principles upon which all the treatments are based. This ranges from the cellulite-busting SKN-Slim Contour RF treatment to the most advanced of medical lasers that will liquefy fat or rejuvenate ageing dull skin.
SKN Medical Spa uses cutting edge FDA-approved technology to provide the perfect combination of pampering beauty and cosmetic treatments backed by medical science. Treatments include the SKN-Slim RF Body Contouring which reduces cellulite, liquefies fat and rejuvenates skin, and the SKN-Lift Facial RF Treatment which uses high-tech Radio Frequency energy to stimulate new collagen synthesis resulting in a face that looks radiant and younger with tighter pores and the disappearance of fine wrinkles.
Unlike traditional spas, slimming centres and beauty salons that offer slimming and facials with no scientific basis and little medical background, SKN Medical Spa is strictly supervised by a London trained aesthetic medical doctor. The result is a complete range of spa and beauty treatments based on sound medical principles.
“Our top of the range cosmetic medical devices are operated by specialised aesthetic doctors to deliver real tangible results that meet our client’s beauty needs. Treatments such as our very own Smooth SKN Laser Resurfacing, SKN2PL Facial Rejuvenation and SKN-Slim Laser Body Contouring, are just some of the treatments which we would be able to offer in the convenience of Centrepoint”, said Dr. Alvin Wong, Medical Director of SKN Medical Spa.
And what’s a spa without a place for a great massage at the end of a long day of work or shopping at the sales? In addition to the in-house medical staff, SKN’s certified beauty therapists perform a wide variety of facials, body treatments and massages that will utterly pamper you. With a minimum of five years experience and training, these beauty therapists will work magic with their hands to knead, massage, and exfoliate your aches and cares away.
