Hormones and Hair Loss: Why PRP May Be the Answer for Women in San Diego?
Hormones and Hair Loss: Why PRP May Be the Answer for Women in San Diego?

Hair thinning and loss can be emotionally taxing—especially for women. Yet many are surprised to learn that hormonal imbalances are often a primary culprit. At B Medical Spa Hair Restoration in San Diego, California, led by Dr. Nadine Haddad, we specialize in advanced treatments to address hormone-related hair loss. Among these, PRP (Platelet‑Rich Plasma) Hair Restoration stands out as a natural, effective, and non‑surgical solution.

Whether you’re in Bankers Hill, Chula Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, or Encinitas, or from Eucalyptus Hills, Hillcrest, Lemon Grove, Mission Hills, Poway, Solana Beach, or University City, our clinic welcomes women seeking to restore their hair, self‑confidence, and vitality.

Hormones and Hair Loss: The Connection for Women

The two most common hormonal causes of hair thinning in women are:

1. Thyroid Disorders

Conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism disrupt normal hair growth cycles, often pushing more hair into the telogen (resting/shedding) phase, leading to increased shedding or thinning.

2. Estrogen–androgen Imbalance

As estrogen levels drop (e.g. perimenopause, menopause, postpartum), relative androgen activity can increase. This hormonal shift may shrink follicles, shorten the growth phase, and result in diffuse thinning—particularly along the crown and frontal scalp.

Additional causes may include PCOS, stress-related cortisol imbalances, or even postpartum or post-COVID shedding. At B Medical Spa Hair Restoration, we start with a comprehensive medical assessment to evaluate hormone status and help you understand the cause of your hair changes.

What Is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP Hair Restoration is a regenerative, minimally‑invasive treatment that uses your own blood platelets—rich in growth factors—to stimulate dormant hair follicles that have shrunk due to hormonal stress.

How PRP Works?

  • A small blood sample is drawn and centrifuged to concentrate platelets.
  • Platelet‑rich plasma is injected into the scalp at precise locations.
  • Growth factors within PRP promote angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, and signal follicles to enter the anagen (growth) phase.

This treatment is especially beneficial for women with hormone‑driven thinning, as it rejuvenates compromised follicles without hormones or surgery.

Benefits of PRP for Women in San Diego

Non-Surgical, Natural, and Safe

PRP uses autologous (your own) blood with minimal risk of a reaction. There’s little to no downtime—perfect for women with busy schedules.

Addresses Hormonal Root Causes

While PRP doesn’t alter hormone levels, it helps follicles respond even in a hormonally unfriendly environment, making it effective alongside hormone management.

Gradual, Sustainable Results

Clients typically notice denser, thicker hair after 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance every few months.

Ideal for Early to Moderate Thinning

Especially effective for women experiencing diffuse thinning rather than complete bald patches.

Enhances Other Therapies

PRP pairs well with TED Hair Restoration, which uses needle‑free delivery of growth serums. Many of our San Diego clients combine both for powerful, multi‑modal results.

Who Should Consider PRP Treatment?

You may be a great PRP candidate if you’re:

  • Seeing diffuse thinning rather than patchy baldness
  • Experiencing postpartum shedding, menopausal thinning, or thyroid-related hair loss
  • Frustrated by the effects of perimenopause or post-COVID hair shedding
  • Looking for a natural, hormone‑friendly treatment
  • Wanting to avoid surgery but restore visible density

If you live in Encinitas, Coronado, University City, or Hillcrest, and are experiencing thinning, PRP may be the ideal place to begin.

What to Expect During the PRP Process?

  1. Consultation & Evaluation
    We’ll review your medical history, hormone labs (if available), and scalp condition to tailor your treatment plan.
  2. Blood Draw & PRP Preparation
    A small vial of your blood is taken and spun down in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
  3. Scalp Injection
    Dr. Haddad injects precise microdroplets of PRP into targeted thinning areas using fine needles—typically taking under 30 minutes.
  4. Post-Treatment Advice
    You may experience mild redness or sensitivity, but you can resume normal activities the same day. Avoid vigorous scalp massage or hair washing for 24 hours.
  5. Follow-Up and Maintenance
    Initial series includes 2–3 sessions spaced about 1 month apart, then maintenance every 3 to 6 months depending on your results.

Many clients say the experience is comfortable and refreshing, and appreciate the natural approach.

Combining PRP with TED for Enhanced Results

At B Medical Spa, we also offer TED Hair Restoration—a needle-free method using ultrasound and air pressure to deliver hair growth serums to the scalp. TED is ideal for those with scalp sensitivity or needle anxiety.

How Schedule It?

  • Alternate between PRP and TED sessions for a powerful combo effect.
  • TED preps the scalp and delivers nutrients; PRP supports regeneration.
  • Suitable for clients in Poway, Lemon Grove, Solana Beach, and surrounding neighborhoods.

This integrative strategy is especially helpful for hair compromised by hormonal disruptions.

Supporting PRP with Lifestyle and Hormonal Balance

PRP is most effective when paired with strategies that support overall hormone wellness:

  • Address underlying thyroid, estrogen, or androgen imbalances with endocrinology support.
  • Maintain balanced nutrition rich in iron, vitamin D, zinc, and biotin.
  • Manage stress through mindfulness, adequate sleep, or pellet therapy/HRT if appropriate.
  • Consider combining PRP with IV Therapy to support nutrient delivery and hair health.

We guide all clients through both in‑clinic and at‑home recommendations to maximize and sustain results.
