Does ‘Synthroid’ Help Hair Growth?

Synthroid is a medication prescribed to patients with hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid. The reason or the underactive thyroid could due to thyroid removal, radiation therapy, or some types of medication. There is no clear evidence that Synthroid will help hair growth, and many patients report hair loss.

Does Synthroid Cause Hair Loss?

Patients who are taking Synthroid at the wrong dose have reported hair loss, and this is when the Synthroid levels are both too high, and too low. Although there are circumstantial cases where patients reported hair growth while taking Synthroid, there are no scientific studies to support that claim. The hair loss may also be due to the patients underlying condition of hypothyroidism or a hormonal imbalance.

Is There a Better Option for Thinning Hair?

Treatment for thinning hair begins with identifying the reason for the problem in the first place. If a medication is causing the issue, it is possible that stopping the medication will cause the problem to end. If thinning hair is due to hereditary causes, or male pattern baldness, it's time to take a closer look at scalp micropigmentation.


At Scalpmasters LLC, we work with clients who have thinning hair using the process of scalp micropigmentation. This is a high-tech solution to hair loss, and makes it look as if you have the full head of hair you once had. Using the computerized technology, our practitioners create a hairline on your scalp using pigments. This makes the hairline pigmentation look three-dimensional, and is an excellent option for thinning hair.


The process of scalp micropigmentation is not painful, and it can be done in a series of two appointments in two days. Each session takes about three or four hours, and you will see results immediately. When you have scalp micropigmenation done to appear as if you have a fuller head of hair, you will have the confidence you want from the treatment.


Scalpmasters LLC works with many clients who want natural looking solutions to thinning hair. When you aren't ready for hair restoration procedures that use surgical techniques to implant hair follicles, scalp micropigmentation is an easy answer. If you have thinning eyebrows, or scars that you don't like the appearance of, scalp micropigmentation can be used in these areas too. It's a form of tattoo, but one that is designed to look like natural hair, and does not use unnatural colors.

Scalp micropigmentation, or SMP, is a cosmetic treatment that uses tiny dots of pigment to make your scalp look like it has a full head of short, buzzed hair. It is not a hair transplant, and it is not a regular tattoo either. A trained technician places thousands of tiny dots across your scalp to match your hair color and skin tone, creating a natural-looking hairline or a fuller look for thinning spots. At Scalpmasters, we wrote this simple guide to walk you through exactly what scalp micropigmentation is and how it works, so you know what to expect before your free consultation.
