    Glossary Androgenic Stimulation

    hormones like testosterone influence hair growth and loss

    Androgenic stimulation refers to the process by which androgens, a group of hormones including testosterone, influence the growth and function of various tissues in the body. In the context of hair, these hormones can stimulate hair growth in certain areas, like the face and chest, while potentially leading to hair loss on the scalp, a condition known as androgenic alopecia.
