Why Testosterone Turns Into DHT — and How It Causes Hair Loss👱🧑🦲
Many people don’t realize that testosterone itself doesn’t cause hair loss. The real problem is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) — a stronger form of testosterone created by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase.
✨ What happens in the scalp?
When testosterone converts into DHT, it attaches to receptors in the hair follicles. Over time this can:
• Shrink the follicles
• Shorten the hair growth cycle
• Make each strand thinner and weaker
• Eventually stop new hair from growing
This is why you see more shedding, thinning, and a receding hairline — especially in genetically sensitive individuals.
🧬 How Stem Cell Therapy Can Help
Stem cell–based treatments support the scalp with powerful regenerative signals that can:
• Reduce inflammation around the follicles
• Improve blood flow and nutrient delivery
• Reactivate weakened or “sleeping” follicles
• Strengthen existing hair and improve density
When combined with hair transplant or used alone for early-to-moderate thinning, stem cell therapy helps restore a healthier growth environment and supports long-term results.
If you’re noticing thinning, shedding, or recession — early treatment is always best. DM to schedule a consultation and see which option is right for you. 💙
