Both male and female pattern balding is caused by hair follicles being receptive to the hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This causes the hair to become thinner and shorter over time. This is the direct result of DHT.
Accordingly, we must reduce the level of DHT to stop further hair loss. The way to treat DHT is with medication that has the active ingredient Finasteride, which partially inhibits the activity of the enzyme 5AR, thereby reducing the production of DHT.
This medicine is prescribed by our doctors and taken orally. The dosage varies depending on your sex, age, exercise regimen and the degree of thinning.
