What is Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)?
 |
Dihydrotestosterone or DHT, an androgen, is the most potent male hormone. It is produced when testosterone and an enzyme called 5α-reductase are synthesized in the prostate, adrenal glands, testes and hair follicles.
DHT is responsible for the development of sexual characteristics during puberty. As men age, dihydrotestosterone has a tendency to be produced more rapidly. The older a man gets, the less DHT is used so it begins to build up in the body.
DHT Causes Hair Loss
Among other things, the buildup of DHT causes prostate cancer. It also clogs hair follicles and blocks necessary nutrients which compromises healthy hair growth.
Donor Area Resistant to DHT
Hair follicles in the back of the head are resistant to DHT which is why elderly men with major hair loss still have a horseshoe of hair in the back of their head. This area is where donor tissue is harvested for a hair transplant. This donor tissue contains hair follicles that have been pre-programmed to stay healthy and are resistant to DHT. After transplantation, they remain permanent unless they were genetically preprogrammed to fall out.

Just recovering from procedure. Mike is taking excellent care and procedure seemed to go well. He is taking me back to the hotel for recovery. Results should be good as they have been after three procedures over the past 21 years. -

I was skeptical at first, but what solidified it for me was that Mike walked me through it from first deciding to do it, to even getting on the plane from Arizona to fly to Ft. Lauderdale, having the procedure, and then calling me several times a day for the first couple of days to make sure I was following the instructions correctly. I don't think... -

Dr. Bolton was recommended to my boyfriend and I by our trusted doctor in Austin. He was INCREDIBLY thorough, answering any questions we had and many we hadn't even thought of.

It has been almost 2 years since surgery, and to say I'm nothing less than amazed is an understatement. Dr Bolton and crew were awesome from the moment I reached out and started asking questions until after surgery weeks later when I still had questions. I truly feel and look like a different person. Hands down, this works! Ps, only thing that...
