STOP THE EFFECTS OF DHT ON THE SCALP

As we age, hair loss is a common denominator among men. It is the one imminent problem that they have to face, especially when they have a family history of hair loss. Even women suffer from this genetically transferred menace.

In women, the hair loss gene is carried by the mother. This gene will be passed on to their daughter and will not be passed on to their son. In males, the carrier of the gene are both the mother and father, that’s why more there are a lot more men who suffer from hair loss.

This genetic type of hair loss in called Androgenetic Alopecia, also called “male pattern hair loss” in males. The typical pattern in males is a receding hair line. Hair thinning is noted on the crown, until total hair loss is observed leaving only a rim of hair along the sides and back. In worse cases, total hair loss can occur. In women, it is called “female pattern hair loss”, fortunately, women do not suffer from total hair loss, only generalised hair thinning without a receding hair line. Total hair loss is rare in women.

The cause for hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia is DHT or dihydrotestosterone. This is an important hormone derived from testosterone when acted upon by the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. Unfortunately, this enzymatic formation from testosterone to DHT occurs on the skin and hair follicles. This interaction slowly hardens the skin of the scalp, shrinking the blood vessels of the hair follicles depriving it of all the required nutrients the hair needs for normal hair growth.

Stop DHT on it’s tracks by stopping it’s production locally at the scalp with the use of Nisim Biofactors. This consists of an herbal based shampoo, conditioner and stimulating extract. The shampoo and conditioner are rich in nutrients and essential vitamins that the hair needs for normal growth thus preventing hair loss. The Stimulating Extract stops the formation of DHT on the scalp, stops skin hardening and promoting hair regrowth.
