How Hormones Affect Your Hair

Medi Tresse Webinar Series 2021
May 4th, 2021
Hormones can have a significant impact on the health of our hair, both naturally and from medications and treatments now being offered. Women will often experience changes in their hair during pregnancy and menopause, when hormones are fluctuating naturally. However, many of the birth control options available today affect our hormones, which can have an impact on our hair, some positive and some negative. We have seen an increase in the use of hormone replacement therapy for various conditions, which can also directly affect our hair as well. During this webinar, we will look at how hormones affect our hair and how and why our hormone levels change and what we can do to protect our hair.

Thank you. This was very informative and you confirmed many of my observations over the years of things I've tried on my own, like DHEA excellerating hair shedding. I am 74 and had post-covid massive shedding. I'm pretty sure I have androgen alopecia. In the past 15 years I have only used topical minoxidil intermittently with good success. My GP recently prescribed Spironolactone, topical minoxidil, oral minoxidil 100 mg and LLLT. I have not begun the oral minoxidil yet as I'm waiting til after I travel in June. Are there any plans to open an office in California? I sure hope so. I'm so happy many are doing more research on hair loss. I will pass this on to my two daughters in their 50s.

Why don’t you use Spironolactone in women who are post menopausal?

What about if you had a total hysterectomy and are 75

There are many reasons you could be experiencing hair loss. Age, nutritional deficiencies, genetics, hormones is just one possible contributing factor. If you are concerned about changes to your hair we strongly suggest you consult with your doctor.
