In addition, it activates natural regeneration processes in the area, enhancing the recurrence of hair loss. The result is hair that is stronger, thicker and healthier.

Over the years, the area of thinning at the top of the head widens and in many cases merges with the anterior thinning. Male pattern hair loss occurs in 25% of the male population with apparent thinning by the age of 30 years and in 50% by the age of 45-50 years.<\/p>\n<p>In the majority of men with hair loss, thinning occurs at the end of puberty and progresses rapidly between the ages of 20-30 years, with a slowing down after 30-35 years. At older ages, the course of hair loss slows down even further, following the same course as the stabilisation and gradual decline of male hormone levels in the blood.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n        \n                                \n                            \n            \n            <div class=\"dp-media-text-accordions-media dp-row-align--s\">\n                <figure class=\"dp-aspect--4-3 \">\n                                        \n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"dp-media-fit dp-img-focus--50-50 dp-img-focus--m-50-50\" \n                            src=\"https:\/\/www.advancedhairclinics.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/trixoptosi-antras-kliniki-eikona-img.jpg\" \n                            alt=\"\">\n                    \n                                        \n                                    <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        \n        \n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"dp-section--aux\">\n    <div class=\"dp-two-col-text-container\">\n        <div class=\"dp-two-col-text-inner dp-list-inner--xs\">\n                                    <div class=\"dp-two-col-text-headline-container dp-margin-bottom--m\">\n                                \n                                <h2 \n                    class=\"dp-two-col-text-headline-container__heading dp-text--m-left\">\n                    Androgenetic Alopecia                <\/h2>\n                \n                            <\/div>\n                        \n            <div class=\"dp-grid--2 dp-grid--l-1 dp-gap--two-col-m-l\">\n                <div><p>Men who suffer from androgenetic alopecia inherit in the hair follicles a genetic sensitivity to the hormone dihydrotestosterone <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dihydrotestosterone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">(DHT<\/a>). Dihydrotestosterone is a derivative or by-product of testosterone. Testosterone is converted to DHT by means of the enzyme 5-a<i>reductase<\/i> which enters the hair follicles, shrinks the hair follicles and by causing changes in their function, suppresses their growth. Hair follicles sensitive to the DHT hormone become thinner and their lifespan is reduced, resulting in hair loss and a decrease in scalp density.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, the action of the hormone DHT shortens the<i>anagen phase<\/i>, during which the hair grows, and accelerates the <i>telogen<\/i> phase, during which growth stops. This process weakens the hairs, causing them to fall out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <div><p>Often men who first experience thinning, initially show a reduction in hair density that is not due to hair loss, but to progressive hair thinning.<\/p>\n<p>The affected hair follicles gradually degenerate, the hair life cycle becomes shorter and each new hair produced comes out thinner and thinner and weaker, with a shorter and shorter life span. This happens at different rates from man to man, until the hair follicle reaches a final stage of degeneration, where the hair appears thin and transparent like fluff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
