    GlossaryHormonal Influences

    effects of hormones on body processes, including hair growth

    Hormonal influences refer to the effects that hormones have on various physiological processes in the body. For example, hormones like testosterone and estrogen can significantly impact hair growth and loss. In conditions like androgenetic alopecia, an imbalance in these hormones can lead to hair thinning and baldness. Understanding these influences is crucial for both diagnosing and treating hair-related conditions.
