The Most Effective Hormone Replacement Therapies
Human growth hormone (HGH) injections, when used as prescribed, do not cause hair loss.
There is some question and confusion about HGH and hair loss. This is because when HGH is used illegally to build muscle by athletes and bodybuilders, hair loss could occur that simulates male pattern baldness. But this is a side effect of HGH abuse, and even in this case it is usually temporary.
However, there is no connection between hair loss and legitimately prescribed HGH therapy used to treat adults with growth hormone deficiencies. In fact, one of the benefits of HGH injections for adults is an improvement in hair health and revitalization of the hair and scalp. Therefore, any concerns about hair loss and starting HGH therapy are unfounded.
There can be several causes of hair loss, but the most common reason for thinning hair is hormonal hair loss caused by hormone fluctuations. A hormone imbalance occurs when hormones rise above or drop below normal levels in the bloodstream. HGH, along with testosterone, is one of the most important hormones related to hair health, hair loss, and hair growth. Low levels of HGH, as can occur with adult onset or "age-related" growth hormone deficiency (AGHD), can contribute to hair loss.
Just as declining levels of HGH can lead to hair loss, HGH therapy, when used with proper medical supervision, can improve hair health, slow, and, in some cases, even reverse hair loss!
Growth hormone is vitally important for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin and hair. Unfortunately, your levels of HGH decline as you grow older. Current research suggests that most of the things we consider as signs of "aging" — including eventual hair loss – can be the result of this age-related growth hormone decline.
To appreciate how HGH impacts hair, we must first understand the structure of hair follicles and the hair growth process. The hair growth cycle begins in the growth phase with cells called keratinocytes, which produce keratin. A hair bulb forms at the base of a hair follicle, and it is there that these living cells divide and grow to build the hair shaft. Blood vessels nourish these cells by bringing hormones that will help to support this process, one of the most important of which is human growth hormone. As we age and HGH levels decrease, your hair follicles cannot provide enough new cells to make your hair grow as strong and thick as it did when you were younger. Hair thinning is the result. In addition, pigment cells that produce melanin in the follicle will also start to die with aging, and fewer are replaced due to low HGH, and this is how our hair begins to turn gray.
It stands to reason, therefore, that if we increase your HGH level with growth hormone therapy, hair regrowth will improve.
Among its many benefits, growth hormone replacement therapy has been shown to help restore skin and hair to a much more youthful and healthy appearance. Studies have shown that this is indeed the case. As your HGH levels rise, cellular regeneration takes place throughout your body, including in the living cells of your hair. Many people have reported an overall improvement in hair thickness and quality as well as a return to natural color after just six months of HGH therapy.
The driving force between HGH and its impact on hair and hair loss is its relationship with another critical hormone known as IGF-1. HGH stimulates the liver to produce and release another hormone called Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 or IGF-1. Among its many other functions, IGF-1 is known to stimulate hair follicles to proliferate and influence the growth cycle of the hair follicle. People with an IGF-1 deficiency and/or a growth hormone deficiency often experience hair loss. HGH therapy and IGF-1 injections have been shown to slow hair loss and restore hair in such individuals.
In fact for some individuals, HGH therapy could be a preferable alternative to other expensive and invasive hair loss treatments such as hair plugs or hair transplants.
The ability of HGH to promote healthy hair growth has been well-documented. HGH can be used to restore thinning hair and provide improvements in hair thickness for both men and women.
Just as it does for your skin, a common benefit of HGH therapy is thicker, more youthful-looking hair. Four specific benefits of HGH for hair health have been identified:
The benefits of HGH therapy for skin and hair health have been well-documented by medical research.
A 2011 meta-analysis (study of studies) that looked at all of the literature available on the benefits of HGH for hair health concluded, "Clinical observations and analysis… have shown the important role played by the GH system in the development, maintenance, and repair of the skin. In fact, the dermal structures directly reflect the various changes in GH production that occur in the different phases of life." The study was published in Brazilian Annals of Dermatology.
A 2018 paper published in the journal Skin Appendage Disorders confirmed that HGH and IGF-1 have been shown to affect follicular proliferation, tissue remodeling, and the hair growth cycle, as well as follicular differentiation.” And that HGH therapy, therefore, could be a treatment for alopecia (hair loss) that occurs as the result of growth hormone deficiency.
Similarly, a previous study in the Dermatology Online Journal found that IGF-1 could stimulate hair growth in animal models. That paper was published in 1999. In 2014, another set of researchers picked up on this work and also concluded that "[Our] observations suggest that IGF-1 is an effective stimulator of hair follicle development in wide-type mice in vivo and may be a promising drug candidate for baldness therapy.” This paper was published in the clinical journal Growth Hormone and IGF Research.
If you want to get healthy hair and many other benefits of HGH injections, you must have a prescription. How to get prescribed HGH is not difficult. In fact, at Kingsberg Medical, it only takes these five simple steps.
As mentioned above, all of the HGH for sale in the US requires a prescription. We cannot stress enough the importance of only buying your HGH from a licensed and reputable provider of HGH like Kingsberg Medical. All of the HGH injections for sale on our products page are name brands from well-known manufacturers such as Omnitrope, Norditropin, or Genotropin.
Buying HGH without a prescription or from a less-than-reputable online source is not only illegal but could be seriously hazardous to your health. If you purchase HGH on the "black market," hair loss may be the least of your worries. Such HGH usually comes from unregulated labs in India or China. They can contain inferior HGH, no HGH at all, or toxic ingredients that can result in severe side effects, even death!
