What shapes the cost of treatment
Here are four factors that could affect the cost of a treatment, and understanding them helps you better gauge your budget.
-
The cause and type of hair loss. There are many types of hair loss, such as Androgenetic thinning, post-natal shedding and patch baldness, and each one calls for a different treatment plan with varying prices.
-
The treatment chosen. Medication is a modest monthly cost; clinic procedures are charged per session and sit at varying price points.
-
The number of sessions. Many procedures are sold per session but only work as a course. PRP, for example, usually needs 3 to 6 sessions spaced about a month apart, according to Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic, so the actual cost is several times the per-session price.
-
The clinic. Different clinics charge differently, with an initial consultation going at about $50 on average.
The cost of hair loss medications
Medication is the most affordable entry point and also the most open-ended, because it works only for as long as you take it.
-
Topical minoxidil costs $50 to $100 per month at illumia Medical. Eeva Medical Clinic lists a box of Rogaine or Regro at around $60.
-
Oral finasteride is priced at $31.61 per box of 30 tablets at ATA Medical, and around $85 to $95 for a box of 28 tablets at Eeva Medical Clinic. Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic frames the same medication as $60 to $120 per month.
-
Hair growth supplements such as Nourkrin and Miriqa start from $158 at SL Aesthetic Clinic.
Finasteride’s effects become consistent only after around 3 to 6 months of use, Eeva Medical Clinic notes, so this is a recurring monthly cost rather than a one-off purchase.
The cost of in-clinic non-surgical treatments
In-clinic procedures stimulate the scalp or deliver active ingredients directly, and they’re priced per session across a planned course.
-
Low-level laser therapy runs $150 to $300 per session at Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic, or $2,000 to $4,000 for a full course. illumia Medical lists it at $200 to $500 per session.
-
PRP costs $500 to $1,500 per session at illumia Medical, and $600 to $1,200 per session at Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic, which recommends 3 to 6 sessions.
-
Mesotherapy scalp boosters are priced at $300 to $800 per session at Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic.
-
Regenera Activa starts from $2,300 at SL Aesthetic Clinic, and is listed at around $3,500 to $4,000 per session by Eeva Medical Clinic.
-
Exosome hair regeneration therapy is the costliest of this group at $1,200 to $2,500 per session at Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic.
Because these are course-based, the headline per-session price is only part of the total. Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic reports noticeable improvement after 2 to 3 months and fuller results by around 6 months, which sets the length of a typical course and the spend that goes with it.
The cost of a hair transplant
A hair transplant is the largest single outlay, and a permanent one. The Clifford Clinic puts the general price of an FUE transplant at $8,000 to $12,000, depending on the hair condition, while Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic lists a total range of $6,000 to $14,000. SL Aesthetic Clinic prices it by the graft — from $4 per graft with shaving and from $6 per graft without — so a larger treated area costs more.
If you’re not ready for surgery, scalp micropigmentation — a cosmetic tattoo that mimics the look of follicles — costs $1,000 to $5,000 depending on the area, according to IDS Clinic. A transplant is also the slowest to show its result. Eeva Medical Clinic notes results are best seen at around 18 months, so the spend is committed long before the outcome is clear. If you’re weighing surgery against a non-surgical plan, it helps to read hair loss treatment or hair transplant: how to decide.
The cost of herbal and scalp treatment programmes
Unlike medication or surgery, herbal scalp treatments use a combination of traditional herbs and scalp care technology. Treatments are typically carried out over several sessions, with a personalised programme and price recommended after assessing your hair and scalp condition.
For current programme prices, speak to Yun Nam Hair Care during a consultation. Choosing the right provider is also an important part of planning your budget. You can learn more in our guide on how to choose a hair loss treatment clinic in Singapore.
Budgeting for the full course, not a single session
The same way you’d budget for a big-ticket commitment like a renovation or dental plan, it can be helpful to set aside a budget for the full treatment journey rather than focusing only on a single appointment.
Many treatment options involve ongoing care. Medication may be used regularly, while treatments such as PRP and laser therapy are typically carried out over several sessions. Hair transplants may also include follow-up care.
Planning your budget around the recommended treatment period gives you a clearer picture of what to expect and helps you stay prepared for the full course of care.
There are also two common funding misconceptions to note when planning your budget:
-
MediSave does not apply. The CPF Board states that Flexi-MediSave cannot be used for treatments for cosmetic or lifestyle purposes, and it names hair loss as an example. Hair loss treatment and transplants are therefore paid out of pocket.
-
Private insurance rarely helps. Cosmetic and elective treatments are usually excluded, so confirm coverage with your insurer before assuming any reimbursement.
Set a realistic budget for the whole course, and allow for results building over months. Since finasteride takes 3 to 6 months to show consistent effect and a transplant is best judged at around 18 months, the spend is spread across a long period rather than paid once. Catching the problem early tends to keep both the treatment and its cost simpler — the 5 early signs of balding that are easy to miss are worth knowing before matters progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hair treatment cost in Singapore?
It ranges widely by treatment. Topical minoxidil runs about $50 to $100 per month at illumia Medical, in-clinic procedures such as PRP cost $500 to $1,500 per session, and a hair transplant reaches $6,000 to $14,000 in total. Your figure depends on the cause of the loss and the plan chosen.
How much does it cost to fix hair loss?
There’s no single price, since treatment is ongoing rather than a one-time fix. A medication-led plan costs roughly $50 to $150 a month, while a course of clinic procedures or a transplant reaches several thousand dollars. The realistic approach is to budget for a full course and maintenance, not a single session.
Can hair regrow after 40?
As long as the hair follicles are still active, hair can regrow at any age. That’s why its recommended to start hair loss treatment early before hair follicles shrink and miniaturize. A specialist assessment is the way to know whether regrowth is realistic in your case.
Can I use MediSave for a hair transplant?
No. The CPF Board states that Flexi-MediSave cannot be used for treatments for cosmetic or lifestyle purposes, and it names hair loss as an example. A hair transplant is therefore funded out of pocket, and private insurance is unlikely to cover it.
Speak to a consultant before committing to a plan
The most reliable way to know the cost is to have your hair and scalp assessed first. Book a consultation with Yun Nam Hair Care for a detailed assessment which includes identifying the root cause of hair loss, a recommended programme, and a clear pricing for your tailored plan.
