Know the villains of genetic baldness

To understand genetic baldness it is necessary to know how and why it manifests itself . I'm sure the vast majority of people may have heard that testosterone, a male hormone, is the villain of hair loss, which is not true. However, testosterone does not stop participating in the process, being the raw material for the formation of another hormone, this yes, one of the villains of baldness. In this text, we will really understand who are the true responsible for androgenetic baldness (genetic capillary), and what do the true causes of this process.

For someone to have androgenetic baldness it must have a predisposition to disease, and this is transmitted genetically by the father or the mother. However, it is wrong to believe that the father or mother necessarily have to be bald or have little hair for this predisposition to be inherited. It is also important to say that genetic baldness can skip generations and that members of the same generation may have different degrees of baldness.

DHT is the causative agent of baldness.

Once predisposed, the individual with a tendency to Baldness, on entering puberty, begins to produce testosterone. From it, another hormone, known as dehydrotestosterone (DHT) is created. DHT is the balding hormone, since it binds to the DNA of the cells in the hair roots and causes them to work less and less. Because of this, the follicles gradually become atrophied, and the hairs that were in it fall more than normal, being replaced by thinner, shorter and fragile hair. Thus, the scalp begins to manifest a thinner hair, and the entrances and crowns begin to appear.

For testosterone to give rise to DHT, there is a need for the action of an enzyme, 5-alpha reductase. I believe that if there is a villain in this story is 5-alpha reductase, and not necessarily the DHT. After all, if it did not exist, testosterone would not be used to form DHT, and consequently baldness would not manifest itself.

This is the basis for current baldness treatments. Inhibiting the action of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme prevents the formation of DHT and the follicle atrophy process does not manifest itself. In conclusion, we can say that androgenetic baldness depends on male hormones to occur (whether in men or women). However, it would not occur without the genetic predisposition and the work of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase.

Learn how to prevent premature aging and ensure beautiful hands

Aging occurs intrinsically and is related to genetic factors and the production of free radicals by metabolism. But in the hands, by having a thinner dermis and, consequently, a smaller amount of collagen fibers, the passage of time appears of a more aggressive form. Exposure to the sun's rays and the lack of care with hydration throughout life, cause aging.

Plastic Surgery is not just a matter of beauty

The answer is no, and probably for some time, it will continue to be this. But no one can guarantee that this is not true in the future. It is true that with the technological advances of cosmetic treatments we are managing to postpone plastic surgeries. Before, we started doing surgical procedures earlier.
