DHT Or Genes; What Causes Hair Loss? A Review From Scalp Technology In Singapore

There are many arguments and debates happening in Singapore to know about what causes hair loss. Generally speaking, if you ask one person for an opinion, you will get ten inputs. Still worse is that those opinions will no doubt contradict one another. In this chaotic mix of facts and opinions, how to know which one is right and which one is wrong? The best option would be to ask an expert, isn’t it? However, there is no harm in reading around the information about scalp technology in Singapore first, to understand some of the terminologies any hair loss expert may use during consultation.

One of the most frequently asked questions is ‘What is the reason of such type of hair loss?’ And the most of the assumptions tend to lean towards genes or the hormone - dihydrotestosterone (DHT), as per the analysis of experts from Scalp Technology in Singapore.

So which of these explanations is correct?

 

‘DHT’ is the acronym that Hair Loss Experts will talk about the hormone dihydrotestosterone (or precisely 5a-dihydrotestosterone). And it is clear to see why it is shortened to something more manageable. This is a hormone which is linked to the male reproductive system and is an androgen. DHT combines with an enzyme called ‘5a-Reductase’ in a process, which takes place in different places around the body, including the hair follicles. Depending upon how this fusion occur it can affect the follicles and result in hair loss. If the levels of DHT in the follicle are not natural, this causes the follicle to shrink (the process is called miniaturization). This is also causes the hairs to fall out of the follicular unit and people resort to hair transplant in Singapore. Although DHT is more prevalent in men, women also have this hormone, which implies that androgenic hair loss can affect both sexes.

So genes and DHT, both have a role to play?

 

Yes – the research of Scalp Technology in Singapore reveals that both genes and DHT are linked to hair loss. It is the underlying genetic sensitivity that is responsible for hair loss and secretion of hormone. Everyone produces the hormone DHT and for many people this will not affect your hair follicles. However, if your genetic makeup includes androgen sensitivity, then the combination of these factors will almost certainly result in some degree of hair loss.

So what is the cure available in Singapore?
