Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone derived from testosterone that contributes to male characteristics but is also linked to hair loss, particularly in men. DHT can attach to hair follicle receptors, causing the follicles to shrink, weaken, and eventually stop producing hair. If you’re experiencing hair loss, treatments like DHT blockers can help slow or prevent further loss. It’s best to speak with our licensed practitioner who can explain this more clearly and address your concerns directly.
