Hair loss is not easy to deal with for those experiencing it and millions of people are suffering from some sort of hair loss and many of us will see thinning hair at some point in our lives. There are many hair loss treatment options and solutions that claim to be the “miracle worker” against preventing and stopping hair loss. But it’s important to be weary of these products that claim unrealistic results.

The truth is – if the hair loss is genetic, or pattern baldness, it is due to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) attacking the hair follicles (and this occurs in both men and women.) The product that claims to stop or prevent genetic hair loss needs to have DHT blockers present in the ingredients to actually have any effect on the condition.

HAIR LOSS TREATMENT OPTIONS: WHAT IS DHT?

DHT is a male sex hormone that synthesizes in the adrenal glands, hair follicles, testes and prostate. When there is a change of the metabolism of androgen in the body, this can cause hair loss in both men and women. When the DHT gets to the dermal papilla (which is the biggest role in the hair follicles that allows for proper blood flow and nutrients to the hair follicles) it affects the absorption of the nutrients to the follicles, causing them to stay in the resting phase for much longer than normal.

YOUR HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS OPTIONS TO STOP DHT

As far as hair loss treatment options go, you have a few selections. You can either go the chemical route (minoxidil) or the all natural route (Revivogen). Of course, we do recommend Revivogen if you are looking to block the formation of DHT in the system from ultimately attacking your hair follicles, as well as the added benefit that you won’t be putting yet another chemical in your body or system that might have other negative affects or reactions on the body.
