Ever noticed more hair in your brush than usual? You're not alone! As a dermatology nurse at The Skincare Studio medical spa, I've seen countless patients concerned about hair loss, and there's one culprit that often flies under the radar: hormones. Let's dive into the fascinating connection between your hormones and your hair, and explore some cutting-edge treatments that are giving people their confidence back.
The Hormone-Hair Connection: It's Complicated!
Think of your hormones as your body's text messaging system – when the messages get scrambled, your hair follicles are often the first to notice! Here's what's really going on:
For Women:
Pregnancy and postpartum changes (hello, hormone roller coaster!)
Thyroid imbalances (your metabolism's conductor)
Menopause (the grand hormone shift)
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
For Men:
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) – the notorious hair loss trigger
Stress hormones (cortisol can be a real party pooper for your follicles)
Age-related hormone changes

Frequently Asked Questions
About Hair Loss
Q: How do I know if my hair loss is hormone-related? A: Common signs include overall thinning rather than patches, changes coinciding with major life events (pregnancy, menopause), and family history of hormone-related hair loss. During your consultation at our medical spa, we'll perform a detailed scalp analysis to determine the underlying cause.
Q: Will I need to stop my current hair care routine? A: Not necessarily! We'll review your current routine during your consultation and recommend any adjustments to optimize your treatment results. We might suggest incorporating our medical-grade hair care products for enhanced results.
About PRP Treatment
Q: Is PRP painful? A: We prioritize your comfort! With our topical numbing cream and advanced injection techniques, most clients report minimal discomfort. Any mild tenderness typically resolves within 24 hours.
Q: How soon can I wash my hair after PRP? A: We recommend waiting 24 hours before washing your hair. We'll provide you with our post-treatment care kit and detailed instructions to ensure optimal results.
About Keravive
Q: How is Keravive different from a regular scalp treatment? A: Keravive uses patented HydraFacial technology combined with a proprietary peptide complex. It's medical-grade and far more effective than traditional scalp treatments, providing both immediate and long-term benefits.
Q: Can I color my hair during treatment? A: Yes, but timing is important! We recommend waiting 48-72 hours before or after your Keravive treatment for any chemical services. We'll help you coordinate your treatment schedule with your regular hair maintenance.
General Treatment Questions
Q: Can I combine both treatments? A: Absolutely! Many of our clients see outstanding results with a combination approach. We can create a customized treatment plan that incorporates both PRP and Keravive for optimal results.
Q: What's the cost and are there payment plans? A: Treatment costs vary based on your individual needs. We offer various financing options and treatment packages to make these transformative treatments accessible. During your consultation, we'll discuss all pricing options and help you choose the best plan for your budget.
