Hormones and Hair: What is Androgenic Alopecia
Have you noticed your ponytail feeling smaller or your part line looking wider? You’re not imagining it — and you’re not alone. Many women experience androgenic alopecia, also known as female pattern hair loss, especially around menopause.
The good news? There are effective treatments available to slow down hair loss and even encourage regrowth. It is important to have a comprehensive work-up in order to address medical issues and nutrient deficiencies. Treatments include topical minoxidil or oral minoxidil, antiandrogenic therapies, dutatestride injections, scalp prescriptions such as exosomes, oral medications such as spironolactone, and newer treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy or low-level laser therapy and micro-needling.
If you’ve noticed changes in your hair volume or texture, it’s worth having a conversation with us. Early treatment can make a lasting difference — and help you feel confident in your hair again.
