The doctor gave men advice for hair restoration in case of baldness

In natural (endocrine) alopecia, hair loss begins after the age of 50 and is associated with an age-related decrease in testosterone levels. Stanislav Ionov, Professor of the Department of Therapy at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education, told about this on Monday, December 22.

The specialist explained that a decrease in testosterone causes a decrease in the amount of dihydrotestosterone and disrupts the formation of new hair follicles, which form more slowly or stop forming altogether. Baldness from the age of 25 is caused by genetic features: changes in several genes, which produce excessive amounts of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, the expert added.

"If testosterone levels are low, a doctor may prescribe hormone therapy, but practice shows that it does not always effectively slow down the process of hair loss. Modern methods are considered more effective — laser therapy, plasma therapy (transfusion of own plasma. — Ed.) or a hair transplant," Ionov said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

He added that the transplanted hair is not subsequently exposed to testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, so the result of the procedure is preserved for a long time.

Earlier, on December 15, Ionov said that hair loss in women is much less common than in men, but the causes of alopecia are similar.

According to the doctor, by the age of 45-50, women have decreased levels of the male hormone testosterone, as well as dihydrotestosterone, which directly affects hair growth. As a rule, complete baldness does not occur, but the hair in the forehead and nape area becomes much less frequent.
