The Salon Blog
The Salon Blog is focusing on the Menopause and whilst there is no such thing as a typical menopause, I shall be writing about some of the varying degrees of disruption I've come across.
The Menopause and your Hair
Keep your locks looking healthy and lustrous
The article below was published in The Smart Woman's Guide to the Menopause magazine spring 2022.
It addresses the issues effecting some women hair during brought on from the menopause.
What are the Treatments for Menopausal Hair Thinning?
Here at The Salon we use Philip Kingsley products who recommend “the best treatments for menopausal hair thinning address the hormonal sensitivity that is present in your hair follicles.” This usually involves a combination of the following:
- Hair follicle stimulants such as minoxidil and methyl nicotinate
- Stress management (stress can raise androgen levels in your body)
- Scalp drops containing hormones
“In the Philip Kingsley Clinics, our Trichologists formulate prescription-only scalp drops, containing a combination of anti-androgenic hormones, as well as a follicle stimulant. In most cases, Clients using these drops will see an improvement in their hair density within 3-6 months.” If you would like more information about Philip Kingsley bespoke drops, please contact us.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) restores your body’s oestrogen to an average pre-menopausal level. This treatment relieves menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, mood swings, osteoporosis and decreased libido. It is also known to help with hair thinning.
If you do decide to go ahead with HRT, Philip Kingsley suggest that you make your doctor aware before your treatment that you are concerned about your hair. This may influence which therapy she or he thinks is best for you. Certain HRT therapies are hair-friendly, while others are not beneficial, and some may even exacerbate hair thinning.
