DHT & Miniaturization
DHT shrinks hair follicles, weakening roots and reducing hair growth over time.
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the hormone behind most pattern hair loss. In genetically sensitive follicles it shrinks the growth machinery cycle after cycle - thinner shaft, shorter growth phase - until the follicle produces only invisible vellus hair.
Key facts
- DHT forms when 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone
- Sensitive follicles shrink a little every cycle
- The growth phase shortens and shedding rises
- Reducing DHT contact protects follicle size
How TIG helps
- Science-first diagnosis - we treat the root cause, not just the symptom.
- Routines built around DHT control, scalp health and internal nutrition.
- Ongoing expert follow-up until visible results show.
