So if you were in our younger patient cohort, we're going to lean more towards boronolactone for you versus a finasteride product.
What is the HRT question here?
Does HRT really help?
HRT by itself, hormone replacement therapy in the form of estrogen plus or minus a progestogen, is not a hair loss treatment.
Not.
Despite the biological plausibility that estrogen extends antigen, there's really no robust randomized clinical trial or evidence to support that systemic hormone therapy alone reverses female pattern hair loss.
So, that is a fallacy.
Hormone therapy may slow progression by maintaining estrogen's protective effect on the follicle, but the data is really observational and inconsistent probably because most of us have multiple causes of hair loss all contributing to what's happening on our head.
Hormone therapy addresses many of the contributors.
It can improve your sleep, reduce cortisol-driven stress on the follicle.
It supports iron status by reducing heavy bleeding and perimenopause.
All right, hormone therapy cannot be the mainline therapy for hair loss.
It can help.
It probably helps.
We don't have great data to prove it, but that is not, like, if you go in and you're like, I'm losing hair, and they're like, you just need hormone therapy, stop.
No.
Okay?
So let's talk about procedural options.
And I had to do, like, these are things that I don't do in clinic, okay?
But there are things I know some about.
