Hair loss due to high estrogen/almost no progesterone (estrogen dominance ED). Do lasers, PRP work if underlying cause remains?

Anon3958302
My doctors say my thinning/diffuse loss since age 50 results from high estrogen/progesterone deficiency due to hormonal shifts of impending meno. Diagnosis is ED; thyroid readings in the subliclinical hypo range; many other symptoms to support ED diagnosis. Labs showed some nutritional deficiencies (D, B vitamins, fatty acids, antioxidants). After reactions to levothyroxine, am now going on progesterone to balance estrogen. Can I assume laser, PRP, etc. won't work unless I first balance hormones?
