How Calecim Professional Keeps Your Hair Thick After Menopause
Menopause brings significant changes to a woman’s body, including noticeable shifts in hair quality. Many women experience thinning, increased shedding, dryness, and changes in hair texture during this stage of life. While these changes are common, they can be distressing.
Calecim Professional’s Hair Serum is formulated to support scalp health and follicular function during this transition. Powered by the brand’s patented PTT-6® conditioned media, the serum is designed to promote a healthier scalp environment and support the appearance of fuller, thicker-looking hair over time.
What Happens to Your Hair After Menopause
Hair changes during menopause are primarily caused by hormonal fluctuations, particularly declining estrogen levels. Estrogen plays a role in maintaining the hair growth cycle, and as levels decrease, several changes may occur:
- Gradual hair thinning
- Increased daily shedding
- Reduced hair density
- Dryness and rougher texture
- Greater susceptibility to breakage
Some women may experience telogen effluvium, a temporary shedding condition, while others may notice signs of androgenetic alopecia, or female pattern hair thinning.
While some degree of shedding is normal (typically 50–100 hairs per day), menopause may shift more follicles into the resting phase, making hair appear less dense over time.
Why Does Menopause Affect Your Hair?
Menopausal hair thinning is largely driven by hormonal changes. As British physician and hormone expert Dr. Louise Newson explains, the significant drop in estrogen during menopause can contribute to the gradual miniaturization of hair follicles. Over time, this may result in finer strands, reduced density, and increased shedding. Lower estrogen levels also reduce sebum production, the scalp’s natural oil that helps maintain moisture balance and support the hair’s protective barrier. With less sebum, the scalp may become drier, and hair can feel rougher and more prone to breakage.
Stress is another important factor. Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can increase physical and emotional stress, which may further disrupt the hair growth cycle. Stress-related shedding can affect anyone, but during menopause, it may compound hormonally driven thinning. Because these changes occur at the follicular level, supportive scalp-focused care that helps maintain an optimal environment for hair growth can be beneficial during this transition.
How Calecim Professional Fixes Your Menopausal Hair
At the core of Calecim Professional is its signature PTT-6® complex, a patented ingredient ethically derived from stem cells. This advanced formula contains more than 3,000 proteins, including growth factors, exosomes, and cytokines that play a key role in cellular regeneration. These proteins help cells communicate more efficiently, allowing the body to repair and renew itself effectively.
Importantly, this regenerative support also benefits the hair follicles. By improving the way scalp cells regenerate and function, the formula helps create an environment that supports stronger, healthier hair growth. In essence, it helps restore the body’s natural renewal processes, encouraging cells to perform more like they did in younger years.
Naturally, this is especially beneficial for menopausal women. Their cells often weaken due to hormonal changes, specifically with the significant drop in estrogen. By applying serum that supports cellular regeneration, Calecim helps repair follicles enough to encourage more hair growth and denser and thicker strands. This goes beyond mere topical treatments, essentially addressing the problem from the inside instead of providing superficial and oftentimes temporary solutions. Shampoos, conditioners, and the like may still work to repair hair that's already on your head, but the Calecim Professional Hair Serum aims to produce thicker, denser, stronger, and smoother hair to begin with.
Calecim Professional's Own Research
It's easy to brush this off as mere marketing or some sort of haircare fantasy, but Calecim Professional's own clinical studies prove the formula's effectiveness. For example, a study conducted by the Earnest Medical Group based in Hong Kong saw that 95% of their participants reported objective hair improvements after applying the serum on their scalps. It even specifically noted that the visible changes appeared in their female participants after 1.5 months, or approximately 6 weeks, while it took 3 months, approximately 12 weeks, for the changes to appear in their male participants.
Another study conducted by Singapore Polytechnic saw that PTT-6 brings about the same benefits to the hair as Minoxidil, the most common medication for hair loss. Minoxidil is also said to help thicken hair over time, which is one of the same hair improvements PTT-6 helps achieve. Hence, the study concluded that PTT-6, or Calecim’s Hair Serum, which is made with it, can serve as a fitting alternative to Minoxidil. This is especially helpful for menopausal women going through androgenetic alopecia, as Minoxidil commonly serves as the best medicine against this hair condition.
Commonly Asked Questions
1. Can all menopausal women benefit from Calecim's Hair Serum?
No, certain conditions may not make the serum that effective. Individuals with complete bald patches or long-standing baldness might not see the same hair benefits. Women who are also diagnosed with different kinds of cancer or have a history of the illness may not see the same results, either.
2. Can I use Calecim’s Hair Serum every day?
Yes, you can. Calecim Professional even recommends applying the serum twice every day for 6 weeks to get maximum results. You can also incorporate the product into your normal haircare routine.
3. Can I use Calecim's Hair Serum with Minoxidil?
Yes, you can. Many have even used Calecim's Hair Serum as a way to phase out Minoxidil. Hence, this is only advisable if you decide to stop taking Minoxidil without a sudden change to your medication.
4. How long does it take to see visible changes?
After around 6 weeks. Calecim Professional’s own research reported that hair improvements started appearing among most participants after the 6-week mark.
5. Are there side effects to using Calecim's Hair Serum?
No, there aren't any. Calecim Professional’s clinical observations saw that participants experienced no side effects after six weeks of regular use.
Final Thoughts
Hair thinning during menopause is common and is primarily caused by hormonal changes, decreased sebum production, and changes in the hair growth cycle. While these changes are natural, supportive scalp-focused care may help maintain the appearance of fuller, healthier-looking hair.
Calecim Professional’s Hair Serum, formulated with PTT-6®, is designed to support follicular function and improve overall hair quality. Though not a medical treatment for menopausal hair loss, it offers a science-driven, non-invasive option for women seeking to maintain hair thickness and scalp health during this life stage.
