Hair Loss Causes: What is Miniaturization and What is Effect of DHT on Hair Follicles?

nmedical.com/hair-loss/basics/miniaturization/">Miniaturization is the decrease in hair shaft length and diameter that results from the action of DHT on healthy, full thickness terminal hairs. The hairs eventually become so small that they resemble the fine, vellus hair normally present in small numbers on the scalp and body. Miniaturized hairs have little cosmetic value. Eventually miniaturized hairs will totally disappear. Twenty percent miniaturization refers to the observation, under densitometry, that 20% of the hairs in an area show some degree of decreased diameter. In the

dness). How male pattern baldness works Scientists think that male pattern baldness has to do with a hormone called dihydrotestosterone or DHT (about 10 percent of the testosterone in the body is converted to this more potent form daily). Oversensitive follicles on the scalp react to DHT by shrinking down and spending less time in the growth phase of the hair cycle, says Andrew Messenger, a retired dermatologist at the University of Sheffield in the U.K. This leads hair to thin and fall out. Puzzlingly, follicles on the back and sides of the scalp tend not to react to DHT this way. This leads to the distinctive “pattern”: a receding hairline and balding on the crown and vertex of the scalp. Also, androgens have the opposite effect practically everywhere except the scalp: in humans and other animals, androgens tell hair to get thicker, darker, longer. That’s why men tend to grow more visible body hair and beards after puberty.

the donor area compared to normal full-thickness hair. Miniaturization is the progressive thinning and shortening of hair in response to the hormone (DHT). Eventually this hair will disappear. Unfortunately, patients may not show any significant miniaturization at a young age, although they are destined to have extensive miniaturization and baldness as they grow older. Therefore, evaluating a patient for surgery that is too young may give a false impression of donor stability and surgical candidacy. In our practice, we wait until a person is a minimum of 25, as this will give us the best chance of not performing surgery on a person who may not be a candidate in the future. Equally important is that younger patients may respond dramatically to medical therapy, even if they have significant hair loss already.

Does Hair Color Matter in Hair Transplants and other Important Aspects of Hair Restoration Surgery?

E), both of which aim to achieve natural-looking results by redistributing healthy hair follicles. “Successful hair transplants rely on moving DHT-resistant, permanent hairs from the back/sides of the scalp into regions that are DHT-sensitive and are thinning,” says Dr. Christine Shaver, a board-certified dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon at Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration. “Optimal long-term results are best achieved by also blocking DHT, so that DHT-sensitive hairs at the front and top do not continue to thin over time.”

reatment of male pattern hair loss. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase type 2, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss through the process of miniaturization. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Propecia helps slow down hair thinning and promote hair regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia.
