Human Growth Hormone and Hair Regrowth?
Question:
What is the effect of HGH (Human Growth Hormone) injection on hair regrowth?
Answer:
There are some research based articles that support the positive effect of growth hormone on hair loss. Also there are many reports of hair loss after treatment of acromegaly (a disease caused by increased levels of human growth hormone) by different medications such as octreotide. Growth hormone is a medication with multiple target organs. This can explain the wide range of effects seen after HGH use. Growth hormone can affect muscle strength, body fat, exercise tolerance, skin texture and elasticity, would healing, hair growth, sexual potency, memory … and the list goes on and on. However, human growth hormone or HGH like any other hormonal medication has its own side effects and the effect of growth hormone on hair and hair loss does not justify its use for the purpose of treating baldness.
