Dihydrotestosterone (5\u03b1-Dihydrotestosterone)<\/strong>, [DHT] is a male sex hormone, an androgen. Male and female adults can lose hair as a consequence of changes in the metabolism of androgen in the body – men far more commonly than women. Most men experience hair loss from the effects throughout their life. The incidence increase with age; however, some men can experience it even in their adolescent years. <\/p>\n Male pattern baldness, [MBP]<\/strong> is also known as androgenic alopecia<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0androgenetic alopecia<\/strong>, is caused by the hair follicle’s sensitivity to DHT. The follicles\u00a0miniaturize <\/em>[shrink], reducing the lifespan of the follicle resulting in abnormal production of hair. Hair loss is considered to be a legitimate medical problem that in some individuals leads to serious depression. \u00a0DHT plays a major role in\u00a0hair loss.<\/p>\n Female Pattern Baldness, [FPB]<\/strong> also has an androgenic component but can also have some other contributing factors.\u00a0 The best hair restoration surgeons will order additional tests to isolate that the cause is androgenic. In patients where this is accurate than hair transplant is a natural, proven and permanent solution.<\/p>\n Hair Transplant Surgery is a Great Solution (watch video)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>
