To understand why Megaderm works while other treatments do not, we must first understand why you're losing your hair. It may be hard to believe, but the process started when you where very young, and it will continue until you do something about it.

First of all, hair loss has been found to be hereditary. For most men and some women, it is caused by androgenetic alopecia. You know it better as male pattern baldness, reflected in a receding hairline, thinning hair or a balding crown.

For you men, the process of hair loss has to do with your sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone, commonly known as DHT. I'm sure many of you know what testosterone is, the male hormone that makes you a man. Now, as you reached a certain age, an enzyme in your system called 5-alpha reductase converted testosterone to DHT, ten times as powerful and capable of triggering puberty.

Great stuff that DHT, but its work wasn't done. This is where your hereditary hair loss comes in. If your hair is sensitive to DHT, the results are male pattern baldness.

How does it work? DHT causes excessive oil, known as sebum, to build up on the hair follice, clogging pores and stifling follicle growth. This is responsible for 99 percent of hair loss problems.

See the graphic of a healthy and unhealthy hair follicle to see how sebum can cause male pattern baldness, one follicle at a time.
