Hair Loss While on Hormone Therapy? Here’s What You Can Do

Plated

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen or testosterone offers many benefits—restoring energy, libido, mood, and overall well-being. However, for some patients, hormone therapy can bring along an unexpected and frustrating side effect: hair thinning or hair loss..

At Modern Medical Spa in Richland, WA, we specialize in helping patients achieve total wellness—including solutions for hormone-related hair loss. Our approach combines advanced regenerative therapies, like Plated™ exosomes, with clinically backed medical treatments including minoxidil and finasteride, to support lasting hair regrowth.

Why Hair Loss Happens on Estrogen or Testosterone Therapy

Hormones play a significant role in the hair growth cycle. Both estrogen and testosterone impact how hair follicles function. When these hormones shift—either naturally or through HRT—it can disrupt the balance that keeps hair strong and growing.

• Testosterone can convert to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a major culprit in male and female pattern hair loss.

• Estrogen fluctuations can alter the growth phase of hair follicles, leading to more shedding or thinner strands.

These changes don’t mean HRT should be stopped—but they signal the need for a targeted hair restoration strategy.

Our Treatment Options: Combining the Best of Science & Innovation

At Modern Medical Spa, we take a multi-faceted approach to hair restoration, especially for patients on HRT. Our personalized protocols may include:

🔬 Plated™ Exosomes

These cutting-edge, cell-free regenerative therapies use platelet-derived exosomes to stimulate dormant follicles, reduce inflammation, and boost scalp health. When injected into the scalp, exosomes signal natural growth and repair processes, improving thickness and hair density.

💊 Finasteride

An FDA-approved oral medication, finasteride works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into DHT. This helps slow hair loss and, in many cases, promotes new growth. It’s especially helpful for patients experiencing hormone-related shedding from testosterone therapy.

💧 Minoxidil (Topical or Oral)

Well-known for its role in over-the-counter hair products, minoxidil increases blood flow to the scalp and extends the growth phase of hair follicles. It’s a safe, effective choice for both men and women and works synergistically with other treatments like exosomes or finasteride.

A Personalized, Hormone-Informed Plan

At MMS, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our providers will evaluate your:

• Hormone levels and DHT conversion

• Scalp condition and hair pattern

• Thyroid and metabolic health

• Lifestyle and stress factors

From there, we design a treatment plan that supports your hair health while continuing HRT, helping you feel confident inside and out.
