Increased levels of a chemical in the scalp called DHT interrupt the normal hair growth cycle. Unfortunately hair loss is a progressive condition and will continue unless treated. Photographic evaluation of hair loss over 5 years in a patient who did not receive any treatment.:-

What causes male pattern hair loss?

1. Family history
   If you have a history of hair loss on either side of your family, you may have an increased risk for male pattern hair loss.
2. DHT (dihydrotestosterone)
   Men with male pattern hair loss have elevated levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in their balding scalps. The level of DHT is believed to contribute to the progressive shrinking of hair follicles and decrease in the number of visible hairs.

Imagine if a proven treatment was available…A treatment that reduces the amount of DHT in the scalp may be beneficial in the treatment of male pattern hair loss. Lowering the level of DHT may help stop hair loss, help restore shrinking hair follicles and regrow hair.

There is a proven treatment, talk with your doctor, your doctor is your best source of information about possible treatments. Together you can discuss your options and make a decision thats best for you.

Three reasons to see your doctor now

1. Get the treatment thats right for you when it comes to identifying and treating different types of hair loss, a doctor has the best background to analyze your individual situation and advise you with his or her professional opinion.
2. Get a scientifically proven treatment, don’t risk ending up with an unproven treatment. Your doctor will only prescribe medically proven treatments.
3. Don’t wait until it’s too late. The earlier you treat hair loss the better. Regrowing hair once it’s gone is much harder to do than keeping the hair you have. So see your doctor now.
