Hair loss may not affect a person’s day-to-day physical functioning, but it can have an effect on self-esteem, especially for people who have public-facing jobs. From hair tonics to transplants and now micrografts, hair treatments available in Singapore do not just stop at topical treatments but also extend beneath the skin. 

Regenera Activa is a micrograft-based hair loss treatment available in Singapore that is available for both men and women. It is an option for patients for whom hair transplants are unsuitable. 

Dr Justin Boey responded to DoctorxDentist readers’ questions about how hair loss is diagnosed by doctors, hair loss in women with a receding hairline, as well as medically proven solutions available. Here are some key facts to note. 

No two outbreaks of acne are exactly alike and may require customised treatment plans. Similarly, the management of active acne versus acne scars requires different approaches. A DoctorxDentist reader asked how doctors determine treatment for active acne and acne scars, and recalled how some clinics offer one-size-fits-all treatment packages. In reply, Dr Justin Boey discussed the treatments for different stages and types of acne available to patients in Singapore. Here’s our round-up.

Dealing with acne in your youth is bad enough, but the scars left behind can be a real nightmare.

New patients often ask me 2 common questions:

• “I’ve tried one laser session before. Why don’t I see results yet?”
• “I still have acne scars and uneven skin texture despite 10 sessions of chemical peels. Why?”

This is why I have decided to write this article to help those of you who are struggling with acne scars. The best outcomes usually result from a combination of different methods, individualised to your skin type and scar! Here's what you need to know. 

Skin pigmentation is the bane of crystal clear skin! Those who have experienced it (some of them still continue to live it) are definitely well acquainted with its confidence-killing powers.

Fortunately, Dr Justin Boey has dedicated his practice to wage war on these pesky spots. He has helped many patients restore their confidence by resolving their pigmentation problems! 

He was invited to host a DoctorxDentist session on lasers & pigmentation to share his expert opinions with the DoctorxDentist community. From tips on melasma treatment to pigment marks caused by acne, these are his pearls of wisdom.

Thinning hair stems from many reasons, and it can be distressing. Patients who come to me are eager to seek ways to reverse thinning hair.

However, despite their eagerness, many of them are still not keen on trying traditional hair growth methods. Hair growth medicines come with quite a number of undesirable side effects, while hair transplant surgery is costly, and carries some risks. 

Thus, I wrote this 1500-word article to share my knowledge of a recent treatment that uses autologous micrografts to restore hair growth. Here's how it works.
