One of the most overlooked causes of aging skin and hair loss is hormonal decline.
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones, and growth hormone all play critical roles in collagen production, skin hydration, tissue repair, hair growth, and overall skin quality.
As these hormones decline, many patients experience:
- Thinning skin
- Reduced collagen
- Loss of elasticity
- Hair thinning
- Slower healing
- Increased facial aging
For appropriate candidates, we often incorporate comprehensive hormone optimization into our regenerative aesthetic plans.
We are particularly interested in the emerging science surrounding topical estrogen therapy for facial rejuvenation. Estrogen receptors are highly concentrated throughout the skin, and research has demonstrated that estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining collagen density, skin thickness, elasticity, hydration, and wound healing.
For select patients, topical estrogen therapies may be incorporated into a comprehensive strategy designed to support healthier, more youthful skin.
Because healthier hormones often lead to healthier skin.
