Scalp Treatment & Low-Level Laser Therapy

Targeted scalp treatments for conditions including scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and follicle stimulation using the NuHair FDA-approved low-level laser therapy (LLLT) system. Treatments are tailored to individual scalp health and hair regrowth goals.

Scalp health is integral to optimal hair growth and overall hair wellbeing. Eileen Tan Skin Laser and Hair Transplant Clinic offers dedicated scalp treatment services addressing both inflammatory scalp conditions and hair follicle stimulation, under the medical supervision of Dr. Eileen Tan, FAMS Dermatologist and ABHRS Diplomate. A key component of the clinic's scalp care offering is the NuHair Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) system. NuHair utilises FDA-approved 670nm wavelength laser light delivered via a specially designed helmet that covers the entire scalp surface. The device incorporates rotating lasers designed to reach all scalp regions uniformly, ensuring consistent photobiomodulation across the treatment zone. The mechanism of action involves stimulating photobiogenesis within dormant or weakened hair follicles, improving follicular metabolism, increasing blood microcirculation at the scalp level, and extending the anagen (active growth) phase of the hair cycle. The system also includes an integral microscope and camera system, allowing the treating doctor to visualise individual follicle status and track treatment progress objectively over time — an important feature for patient motivation and clinical documentation. LLLT is non-invasive and painless, suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning, post-natal hair loss, or early-stage androgenetic alopecia. For inflammatory scalp conditions such as scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and scalp eczema, Dr. Tan provides appropriate medical treatment including prescription topical agents, corticosteroid injections for localised alopecia areata, and systemic therapies where required. The scalp treatment programme is often used as an adjunct to medical hair loss therapy, complementing topical minoxidil, oral medications, or as part of post-hair-transplant scalp recovery care.
