Testimonials and reviews are one of the important things you need to look out for in choosing a clinic. Search the web for real and unbiased feedback. RealSelf and Google Reviews can be a good place to start. From there, you can also learn about reputable surgeons and even find before-and-after photos from previous hair transplant patients.
These reviews can also be a way for you to assess a practitioner’s quality of work through the years. You can check from how many years back these hair transplant reviews have been available to see how long a clinic or a doctor has been around and doing good work.
Hair loss is a multifactorial condition, this means that treatment varies for each person. Hence, not everyone will be a suitable candidate for hair transplant surgery, and in some cases, affected individuals may be advised to undergo other treatments first before jumping right into surgery.
Therefore, find a clinic that offers a no-obligation consultation before treatment. This allows you to find out exactly what’s causing your hair loss and find a suitable treatment to address your hair loss problem.

Hair transplant surgeons in Singapore must be certified by the Ministry of Health (MOH) through the Central Licensing Board (CLB). Hair transplants in the country must follow the guidelines set by the Singapore Aesthetics Practice Oversight Committee.
If a clinic specialises in a particular treatment, it indicates that they have in-depth knowledge of the technical skills needed. It also means higher efficiency and productivity that also promises good quality results.
At the Dr Tyng Tan Aesthetics and Hair Clinic, we provide FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), Partially Shaved FUE, and the Non-Shaved FUE.
A portfolio that features before and after images is indispensable in choosing a hair loss clinic. They should be able to provide this for you to see the quality of work that they can deliver. However, for Singapore practitioners, you will not find such images on their website or social media platforms, since medical professionals are restricted from displaying them.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) forbids medical practitioners from displaying before-and-after images in any online platform (e.g. online ads, social media, website). This is to prevent overpitching or creating unrealistic expectations, as well as avert confidentiality issues. However, feel free to ask for it during an in-person consultation. If you come across businesses that flaunt these images online and have not been penalised, it’s likely that these places are not medical clinics.
Money is an important factor because hair transplant surgery is not cheap. But, it’s not advised that you settle for a service simply because it is affordable. While there may be several clinics that offer cheaper services, you must also look at the quality they produce to see if it is indeed a worthy investment. Conversely, those that offer expensive treatments do not necessarily provide great results, therefore, choose to look at the outcome of their previous surgeries and learn about the clinic’s reputation to ensure that you trust your money in the right hands.

Your research may lead you to some offers and deals for hair transplant surgery. Usually, these are packaged by grafts for a certain amount, which at first look, may sound like a real score. However, this arrangement is not ideal and will not give you the results you want.
A good hair transplant should be customised to your specific needs. You can’t fix a predetermined number of grafts before a consultation is even made. So to get your surgery from a deal is like expecting a gourmet-tasting dish from a boxed meal.
Don’t get easily swayed by statements like “speedy results” and “wild savings.” But if you’re attracted to these kinds of arrangements, be sure to read the fine print. You don’t want to discover later on that your surgery bill actually comes with several other fees and charges.

In the digital era, it’s important for clinics to have presence in the digital space to keep up with the market. Having a good website is an important indicator in choosing a clinic. This is a reflection of how they cater to potential patients. Basically, this is like a digital storefront where they can showcase their services. A good one should be informational, easy-to-navigate, fast, free of clutter, and interactive.
