    GlossaryDHT Inhibition (DHT suppression)

    reducing dihydrotestosterone to prevent hair loss

    DHT inhibition refers to the process of reducing the activity or production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone derived from testosterone. DHT is known to contribute to hair loss, particularly in conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). By inhibiting DHT, treatments aim to slow down or prevent hair loss and promote hair regrowth.
