One of Dr Ma’s deepest passions is in the procedure of hair restoration by hair transplantation. He recalls first learning of the concept of hair transplantation back in 2006 in Europe.
Very few doctors were aware of this procedure. He was determined to bring this technology and skill back home to Singapore and has not looked back ever since. He has gone on to master the strip (FUT) and the more popular scarless follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique.
Over the years, he has honed his skills and built up a well-trained in-house team of hair restoration staff. We are proud to serve clients regionally and internationally.
He is very proud to introduce the ARTAS Robotic Hair transplant technology in 2013, which has refined his technique yet again. In 2015, he introduced scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP) to Singapore and the region.
Dr Harold Ma has been regularly featured and interviewed on national radio and television shows, educating viewers and listeners on hair restoration and other aesthetic procedures.
He is often quoted in national English and Chinese newspapers (The Straits Times, Shin Ming Daily, Lian He Zao Bao Chinese paper, Barita Harian Malay paper, etc). There is a saying: Think Hair, Think Dr. Harold
If there is one word, to sum up Dr Ma and his practice, it would be obsession. He is fully consumed with the desire to bring out the very best in his patients, every time. He believes that less is sometimes more and applies this to his treatment planning for patients so that they need a minimum of treatment to get the best results. He demands excellence in his and his team’s work.
Never satisfied with the status quo, Dr Ma is constantly seeking ways to further refine his techniques and results. As such, he travels the globe constantly, meeting with his peers in an exchange of ideas and know-how, giving talks and chairing regional and local conferences (Scientific Committee Co-chairperson of the 2013 Malaysian-Singapore Conference of Aesthetic Medicine). His patients are the ones who gain the most from this spirit of tireless learning and sharing. He is an executive committee member of the Society of Aesthetic Medicine, which regularly holds training workshops, and consensus meetings and formulates guidelines for its aesthetic doctor members.
Dr Ma has been featured regularly in national television, radio and newspaper interviews, including Channel 5, 93.8FM, 95.8FM, The Straits Times, Chinese paper Lian He Zao Bao, Shin Ming Daily, My Paper, and magazines including Harper’s Bazaar, Tatler, Silverline, Nu You, etc. for his insights into issues relating to hair restoration, ageing gracefully, maintaining a youthful physique and introducing the latest beauty technology to his readers. He is often invited to give talks on his experience and opinion on matters related to aesthetics and beauty. These include La Mer, Estee Lauder, Ezyhealth Forums, etc. He is featured as far away as the Times of London.
Starting from January 2017, Dr Ma is honoured to be a Clinical Investigator collaborating with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) on hair biology.
Through this collaboration, we are poised to unlock the final mysteries of hair loss and hopefully put Singapore on the map for hair loss research. The ultimate goal is to be able to help patients suffering from hair loss, to reverse this common but often frustrating condition for both men and women.
True to his belief in maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle, Dr Ma continues to be an avid sportsman, having been a part of the National Windsurfing Team from 1998-2000.

DR TOBY HUI
Dr Toby Hui obtained his medical degree from the National University of Singapore and went on to obtain a Diploma in Family Medicine as part of his postgraduate training.

Applying the same motto that governs his approach to life for his patients, he often encourages and works closely with them to bring out their very best, realising their full beauty potential without losing their uniqueness or falling prey to conforming social constraints along the way.
Dr Toby realises that while ageing is inevitable, making that journey less rocky by keeping undesirable physical signs of ageing in check is now optional, especially with the latest innovations in medical science and advancements in Aesthetics Medicine. With this comes a special interest in non-invasive anti-ageing treatments, tackling wrinkles, fine lines, volume loss, saggy skin, melasma, age spots and uneven skin discolouration with Botulinum Toxin, dermal fillers, threads and a plethora of FDA-approved lasers and external skin tightening modalities; tailored specifically to address each individual’s needs in a bespoke manner.
A health fanatic and fitness enthusiast who once had to fight off burgeoning kilos in his younger days, it is little wonder that his other interest is in weight management. Employing an integrated approach which combines appropriate medical therapies and dietary and lifestyle changes, Dr Toby has helped many achieve their ideal weight and body shape by dishing out tough love amidst sound advice.
Away from work, he can either be found sweating it out in the gym or taking the road less travelled, exploring exotic destinations off the beaten track to indulge in the guilty pleasure of sniffing out culinary delights right off the screen of foodies TV shows streaming on Netflix and HBO.
