Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

Biological Concepts

What is dihydrotestosterone (DHT)?

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen hormone linked to hair follicle miniaturization and androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

Elevated DHT levels cause progressive shrinking of scalp follicles, eventually leading to hair thinning and baldness. Although red light therapy does not directly alter hormonal pathways, it can counteract some effects by improving follicle metabolism and health.

Reducing follicular sensitivity to DHT via enhanced mitochondrial function offers a supportive pathway for red light therapy’s effectiveness in slowing or reversing AGA.
