Hair Loss Routine
Androgenetic alopecia is a non-scarring type of alopecia and constitutes the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. It is a genetically predetermined disorder caused by an excessive response to the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) - a testosterone metabolite - which results in the miniaturization of terminal hairs on DHT-sensitive areas of the scalp. Like with any other cronic condition, the treatment of androgenetic alopecia is life-long, and requires consistency and commitment. The treatment plan should focus on 2 main goals: (1) At the Scalp - Prevention of Hair Fall and Stimulation of Hair Growth; (2) Along the Hair Length - Prevention and Reversal of Hair Break / Damage (through bond repair).
