Hair Loss and Hormones: How to Restore Balance Before a Transplant

Share

There are times when hair fall is directly related to hormonal influence or a disturbance in one’s body; hence, proper management of such upsets before commencing the actual transplanting will be essential in this regard. It will be important for Estevitalya Clinic not just to treat the effects but also work at bringing balance within the body through its approach in hair restoration.
How Hormones Affect Hair Growth
Hair growth is directly regulated by the balance of hormones, including testosterone, dihydrotestosterone or DHT, estrogen, and thyroid hormones. When these become imbalanced, it may affect the normal cycle of hair growth and result in thinning or shedding. For example:

DHT: This hormone, derived from testosterone, has been known to shrink hair follicles in individuals who are genetically predisposed to androgenetic alopecia or pattern hair loss.
Thyroid Hormones: Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism can affect hair thickness and texture, thus causing hair loss.
Estrogen and progesterone are hormones that affect hair density when altered in pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal disorders. Why Balance Is Important Before a Transplant
Hair transplantation does offer permanent results in hair loss but is based on the surrounding scalp and follicles for its success. If there are hormonal imbalances, then those can further lead to thinning even in untransplanted areas. Thus, by resolving these issues first, patients are building a strong foundation for better transplant outcomes.

Restoring Hormonal Balance

See a Specialist

Estevitalya recommends hormone testing to identify any kind of hormone imbalance. An individualized course of action will then be developed that can help alleviate specific problems.

Take a Balanced Diet

Vitamins such as B7 biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids assist in maintaining hormone balance and nurture hair follicles. Avoidance of processed food and too much sugar intake decreases the disturbance caused by hormones.

Manage your Stress Level

Chronic stress increases the level of cortisol, which interferes with other hormones and may cause hair loss. Such practices as yoga, meditation, and regular exercise can help.

Medication and Supplements

Depending on the cause, a doctor may prescribe treatments such as finasteride to block DHT or thyroid medication. Natural supplements, like saw palmetto or evening primrose oil, can also help balance hormone levels.

Conclusion

The balancing of one’s hormones is an important preparatory step for hair transplantation. Estevitalya Clinic takes a comprehensive approach to ensure that the patients address the underlying causes of hair loss for long-lasting results. Restoring balance today sets the stage for a successful transplant tomorrow.
