DHT or dihydrotestosterone is known for causing hair loss in men. This is a product of the male hormone testosterone. Tests have proved that when there is an accumulation of DHT in the body of the person, there is a definite hair loss condition caused. This hair loss follows the male pattern baldness or alopecia, characterized by the presence of the Widow's Peak. This is a highly evidenced condition in men who have a high level of DHT in their scalp.
Now, it would seem that just somehow eliminating the dihydrotestosterone from the body would be a definite way to prevent hair loss. That would seem to be an obvious solution. However, this is certainly not possible. DHT is a byproduct of testosterone and it is automatically produced in the body. In order to reduce the amount of DHT, it will be testosterone that will actually have to be reduced. That is not a solution because testosterone is responsible for male sexual vigor and vitality. Causing hair growth in a man at the cost of reducing his sexual functions is definitely not a viable option.
That is the reason the medical world took such a long time to devise products that could stop hair loss on account of DHT accumulation without making the man lose out on sexual energy in any manner. Though the medical world are still trying and testing the right combinations, there are several products in the herbal genre that have already hit the jackpot. One such product is Procerin.
Procerin contains DHT inhibitors. These substances can reduce the effect of DHT without actually reducing the amount of testosterone. As far as the equilibrium between hair loss and sexual vigor goes, Procerin seems to have the right balance. However, it takes time for this medication to show its effect. It is advised that men must use Procerin regularly for about one to two months before the desired effects can be obtained. However, because of the principle of its working, the results are almost guaranteed within a few months.
It must be remembered that Procerin works on the principle of DHT inhibition and DHT is a product that is present predominantly in men. As such, the product works more for men. However, it does contain some ingredients that can help women who have hair loss problems. Despite that, women are not advised to go ahead with Procerin for growing back their hair; there are several other natural products in the market that are designed solely for their hair conditions.
