DHT – a real hair growth killer

Just as some of us blokes are prone to getting a bit out of control, a hormone called DHT (or dihydrotestosterone) can reach high levels in some people, causing frontal baldness/hair loss.

When DHT reaches high levels in men genetically disposed to male pattern hair loss, the growth phase of the hair is shortened. Over time, this causes affected hairs to become smaller, finer, lighter and eventually...gone.

So like some men might blame their parents for their mousy build, oversized feet or feminine face, male pattern hair loss is one more thing men can pin on them.

PROPECIA blocks the formation of DHT, inhibiting the development of male pattern hair loss.

Of course, men today have options to help stop the onset of male pattern hair loss.

PROPECIA lowers the levels of DHT in the scalp, helping to reverse the balding process.

PROPECIA helps reduce further hair loss and encourages hair growth.

PROPECIA is the first and only FDA-approved tablet demonstrated to treat male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in men.
