Female Menopause and Hair Aging? Hair Anti-Aging Procedure ‘Cera Exosome’

Female Menopause and Hair Aging? Hair Anti-Aging Procedure ‘Cera Exosome’

Hello.

I am Choi Won-woo, a dermatologist with 23 years of experience.

When I see patients in the clinic,

many people pay close attention to skin elasticity and wrinkles, but often overlook changes in their hair.

However, the moment you feel that your reflection in the mirror no longer looks the same as before is not due to skin alone.

One of the main factors that determines a youthful impression is full, strong hair.

No matter how good your skin is, if your hair becomes thinner and limp, you cannot help but look somewhat older.

This change is felt especially strongly by women when menopause begins.

The change in hair that appears at this time is not simply hair loss, but part of the natural aging process that occurs as our body’s biological clock moves forward.

So today, for those who are concerned about hair aging during menopause,

I would like to explain step by step, based on research findings, why these changes occur and what treatments can actually be considered.^^

4. The key cause of hair changes during menopause: decreased estrogen

The most powerful factor determining hair condition throughout a woman’s life is the female hormone ‘estrogen.’

In the bodies of women of reproductive age, the hormone mainly present is ‘estrogen E2,’

and this hormone keeps the hair growth phase long and helps hair grow thick and strong.

It is also the secret behind the shiny, full hair we could maintain in our younger days without any special care.

But as menopause begins, our bodies undergo rapid changes.

As ovarian function declines, the secretion of estrogen E2, which protected the hair, decreases,

and the relatively less active ‘estrogen E1’ fills that gap.

The problem is that this E1 hormone has a reduced ability to promote hair growth.

As a result, there is not enough time for hair to become sufficiently thick and grow long, the growth phase becomes shorter, and thin, weak hair like fine down begins to grow.

In the end, more hair falls out every time you wash it, and no matter how much you blow-dry it, the crown does not gain volume and starts to look sparse.

2. The limits of hormone replacement; a new approach is needed.

Naturally, you may think that the problem could be solved by replenishing the lacking hormones.

In the past, hormone therapy to artificially supplement estrogen was widely used to relieve menopausal symptoms.

However, research has shown that long-term supplementation with estrogen E2 may increase the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular disease or breast cancer,

so it is now approached very cautiously.

Of course, there may be cases where it is needed under a specialist’s prescription,

but taking hormone medication simply for hair care, even if it means accepting other risks, is not recommended.

Also, hair-loss medications such as Minoxidil, which are often prescribed to menopausal women, require caution.

Minoxidil has a side effect of lowering blood pressure by dilating blood vessels, which can cause dizziness or headaches in menopausal women whose bodies are undergoing many changes.

Therefore, rather than directly administering hormones themselves, it has become important to find alternatives that can replace estrogen’s ‘hair growth’ function.

3. A treatment that improves the hair environment: Cera Exosome

A method that has recently been drawing attention is treatment using ‘Cera Exosome.’

Cera Exosome uses a component called exosomes obtained during the stem cell culture process,

and helps awaken weakened follicle cells so they can become active again.

It is like sending a direct nutrient signal to hair follicles that had been dormant due to reduced hormones.

When this substance penetrates deep into the scalp and reaches the dermal papilla cells,

the shortened hair growth phase (anagen) becomes longer again, creating an environment in which hair can grow thick and strong.

Hair thickness increases by about 30%

Hair length growth speed is accelerated by about 2x

In fact, after conducting clinical cases over the past two years,

we were able to confirm positive changes in areas such as the hairline and crown, where fine hairs thickened and sparse areas were filled in, even in cases that did not respond to conventional drug treatment.

Above all, because it acts locally without the worry of side effects like hormone medications,

it is a benefit that middle-aged women concerned about their health can receive with confidence.

In closing,

Just as you apply cosmetics that are good for the skin and receive care, hair is also part of the body that needs appropriate anti-aging management during the aging process.

Rather than resigning yourself to menopausal hair aging as simply the result of getting older, I hope you can maintain a slightly younger and healthier appearance with the help of medicine.

Of course, as with all treatments, the effects may vary depending on each person’s condition, so the first priority should be to find the method that suits you best through sufficient consultation with a specialist.

For your full and beautiful hair, and to help restore the confidence it holds, I will always continue to study and make every effort.

Thank you for reading this long post.
