Hair Regrowth Treatment for Low Thyroid Hair Loss

Hypothyroidism can be controlled by providing patients with hormone supplements. When the hormone deficiency is successfully rectified, hair regrowth usually occurs although it may not be complete regrowth. Hormone supplements used as hair re-growth treatment can be synthetic manufactured drugs or naturally derived from animals. Some dermatologists claim the natural hormone supplements are superior for promoting hair regrowth.

Sometimes hypothyroidism can lead to androgenetic alopecia. A drop in thyroid hormone production means a reduction of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SBHG) concentration in the blood. SBHG is important in reducing the activity of testosterone. With reduced SBHG levels, more testosterone is available for conversion to dihydrotestosterone and adverse impact on androgen sensitive scalp hair follicles. This may be another reason why some people have incomplete hair re-growth despite successful hair re-growth treatment with thyroid hormones.
