How to Stop Thinning Hair from PCOS

Thinning hair is one of the many challenges that people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) face, and its impact can go beyond physical appearance, affecting self-confidence. The hormonal imbalances caused by PCOS can disrupt hair growth cycles, leading to noticeable thinning, especially at the crown or along the part.

The good news? There are professional treatments and at-home strategies that can help you regain control and support healthier hair.

Why PCOS Causes Hair Thinning

Hair thinning from PCOS is primarily driven by hormonal imbalances, specifically elevated levels of androgens (male hormones like testosterone). Here’s how these imbalances impact hair health:

  • Disrupted Growth Cycle: Androgens shorten the growth phase (anagen) of hair, leading to slower regrowth and thinner strands.
  • DHT Impact: Androgens convert to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can shrink hair follicles and contribute to hair loss.
  • Thinning Patterns: PCOS-related hair thinning often follows patterns like widened parts or diffuse thinning at the crown.

Addressing these factors requires a combination of internal hormonal balance and external scalp care.

Professional Treatments for Hair Thinning

At Nuveau, we offer advanced treatments tailored to combat PCOS-related hair loss:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

  • Uses your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles.
  • Involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to isolate platelets, and injecting the plasma into the scalp.
  • Results: Over time, patients notice thicker, healthier hair with minimal downtime.

Exosome Therapy

  • Advanced, cutting-edge treatment that uses cell-signaling technology to regenerate hair.
  • Exosomes deliver growth factors and proteins directly to the scalp, promoting follicle health and hair regrowth.

Microneedling with Growth Factors

  • Creates micro-injuries on the scalp to stimulate natural healing and enhance the absorption of growth factors.
  • Encourages hair follicles to produce stronger, thicker hair strands.

These treatments work best when combined with personalized plans to address your specific hair thinning patterns and overall goals.

Personalized Solutions for Thinning Hair

Every individual experiences PCOS-related hair thinning differently, which is why a consultation with a specialist is essential. At Nuveau, we:

  • Assess your hair type, thinning patterns, and overall scalp health.
  • Develop a customized treatment plan that combines professional therapies with at-home care recommendations.
  • Address both internal (hormonal) and external (scalp) factors to maximize results.

At-Home Steps to Support Hair Growth

While professional treatments are powerful, maintaining healthy habits at home can amplify their effects:

Daily Care

  • Use shampoos and conditioners with DHT blockers like saw palmetto to reduce androgen impact.
  • Keep your scalp clean and hydrated to support healthy follicle function.

Supplements

  • Biotin: Strengthens hair strands and supports growth.
  • Zinc and Iron: Essential for healthy hair follicles and preventing further loss.

Healthy Habits

  • Stay physically active to help regulate hormones and reduce stress levels.
  • Eat a nutrient-rich diet with plenty of protein, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids. Foods like salmon, spinach, and nuts can nourish your scalp from within.
