If you don’t think hormones and hair loss can be related, think again. Many believe hair thinning is something that runs in the family. Genetics, however, is only one of the potential causes.
In recognition of Hair Loss Awareness Month, Weight Success Centers is combing through your treatment options for when hair growth is intertwined with your hormone levels.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHT) for Men and Women
The list of treatments for hair loss is growing thanks to hormone-related research. If a hormonal imbalance is diagnosed through labs or testing in men or women, our physicians may prescribe Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHT).
Notably, BHT is not like synthetic hormone replacement therapies or HRT. In contrast, bioidentical therapies use natural hormones matching the hormones produced by your own body.
Weight Success Centers’ certified providers administer BioTE, a subcutaneous pellet type of pure BHT for men and women to combat many age-related symptoms resulting from hormonal declines. As a supplement to help balance hormones, BioTE hormone pellets dissolve with no byproduct.
Additionally, Weight Success Centers may provide a comprehensive Hair Loss Management Program including full medical evaluations before prescribing treatments. It is important to identify and address any underlying issues or contributing factors related to declining hormones and hair loss. Factors may include genetics, illness, acute stresses, thyroid issues, or nutritional deficiencies.
Nutrition for Healthy Hair and Hormonal Balance
Never underestimate the importance of nutrition for healthy hair and hormonal balance. In addition to plenty of lean proteins, the body requires vitamins A and B, Iron, Zinc, Omega-3 fatty acids, and many other nutrients for cell growth and metabolic function.
Sadly, too many men and women have wasted money on topicals from drugstore shelves, when the simplest solution was in the fresh produce section. Hair follicles can go into a state of rest when the body is under stress or malnourished. That is why Weight Success Centers offers customized diet plans with nutritional supplements in addition to innovative therapies to treat hormones and hair loss.
Hair Restoration Treatments and Solutions
In addition to hormone therapies and nutrition, there are many hair restoration treatments for today’s patients. At-home solutions like The LaserCap® as well as in-office treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections or needle-free JetPeel™ techniques may be prescribed to help stimulate hair growth without the use of harsh chemicals or medications with side effects.
As with any medical procedure, product, technique, or treatment – the results and benefits will vary depending on the individual. Browse our websites and contact us for more details.
