Menopause Hair Loss Treatment with Stem Cell Serum PTT-6®

Professional hair restoration protocols may include growth factor-based treatments designed to support the scalp environment and encourage healthier-looking hair.

CALECIM’s Hair Serum contains PTT-6®, a proprietary blend of growth factors, cytokines and exosomal proteins used in professional and at-home hair restoration protocols. Developed from regenerative medicine research, PTT-6® helps facilitate cellular communication within the scalp and hair follicle environment.

PTT-6® has been evaluated in women experiencing menopausal and androgenetic hair loss, with findings published in the peer-reviewed PMFA Journal. These published observations, together with growing clinical use among hair restoration practitioners, have contributed to increasing interest in growth factor-based approaches for supporting healthier-looking hair growth and scalp health.

Clinical Perspectives

Dr Munir Somji founder of DrMediSpa, has discussed the growing role of growth factor technologies within modern hair restoration protocols. In his comments on menopause-related hair loss, he highlighted the appeal of regenerative approaches that aim to support scalp health and hair quality while offering a relatively non-invasive treatment option with minimal downtime.

Consultant Dermatologist Dr Sharon Wong has highlighted the importance of supporting the follicle environment when addressing thinning hair. She explains that healthy hair growth depends on maintaining a favourable environment around the follicle and that modern hair restoration approaches increasingly focus on supporting the biological processes involved in the hair growth cycle, rather than simply addressing shedding alone.

Dr Angela Tewari also discussed regenerative approaches that aim to support scalp health and hair quality through biological signalling pathways. She notes that newer treatment strategies are increasingly focused on supporting the scalp ecosystem and follicle function, helping to create the conditions required for healthier-looking hair growth.

These clinicians were interviewed by Harper’s Bazaar as part of a feature exploring menopause hair loss and emerging treatment options. Their perspectives reflect the growing recognition among dermatologists and hair restoration specialists that menopause-related hair thinning is a complex condition that often benefits from a multi-faceted approach combining lifestyle, hormonal, nutritional and targeted scalp-based interventions.

Your Questions Answered

General guidance to help you understand common hair-change experiences. It is not a substitute for medical advice.

Is It Too Late To Regrow Hair After Menopause?

Earlier intervention is generally associated with better outcomes, but many women still see meaningful improvements even after years of thinning. Hair follicles often exist on a spectrum between healthy growth and complete inactivity. Where follicles remain viable, supporting scalp health, addressing nutritional deficiencies and using targeted hair restoration approaches may help improve hair appearance, density and quality over time. The goal is not simply regrowth, but helping existing follicles perform at their best.

Does HRT Help Hair Loss?

Some women report improvements in hair quality and thickness while using hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

However, HRT is not typically prescribed solely as a hair loss treatment and responses vary between individuals. Hair thinning during menopause is often influenced by multiple factors, including genetics, nutrition, stress and overall health.

Why Consistency Matters

Trichologist Kelly Morrell notes that many women underestimate how slowly hair grows and how long it can take to see meaningful changes in density and volume. Unlike skincare, where improvements may be visible within weeks, hair follicles operate on growth cycles that can last several months.

As new hairs emerge, they require time to grow, mature and contribute to overall scalp coverage. For this reason, improvements are often gradual rather than dramatic, with many women first noticing reduced shedding, improved hair quality or small “baby hairs” before seeing visible changes in density.

Kelly also highlights that hair restoration is rarely a one-time event. Menopause-related hair thinning is often an ongoing process influenced by hormones, genetics, stress, nutrition and overall health. Supporting the hair follicle consistently over time may therefore be just as important as the treatment itself.

In her experience, the women who achieve the most noticeable improvements are often those who remain committed to their program for several months and continue supporting their hair health even after early results begin to appear.

What Are Growth Factors?

Growth factors are naturally occurring signalling proteins involved in cellular communication, tissue repair and regeneration. They help cells send and receive instructions that influence a wide range of biological processes, including wound healing, tissue renewal and the maintenance of healthy skin and hair follicles.

In the scalp, growth factors play an important role in supporting the environment surrounding the hair follicle. Hair follicles are highly active structures that rely on continuous communication between different cell types throughout the hair growth cycle. Growth factors are among the signalling molecules involved in regulating these processes.

As we age, the biological environment surrounding the hair follicle may change. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, inflammation and other factors can influence follicle function and overall hair quality. For this reason, growth factors have become an area of growing interest within regenerative medicine, aesthetic medicine and professional hair restoration.

Today, growth factors are increasingly incorporated into professional hair restoration protocols, post-procedure scalp treatments and advanced hair care formulations designed to support scalp health and healthier-looking hair growth.
