Atrophied hair follicles are those which have been miniaturised by the destructive effects of DHT. Over time, if not treated, DHT destroys the hair follicles, causing them to diminish and eventually die. The atrophied hair follicles are eventually replaced by scar tissue leaving a shiny, bare scalp – at this point, the scalp can no longer respond to treatment..

If left untreated, DHT can eventually permanently destroy hair follicles, which is called atrophy. Atrophied hair follicles are replaced by scar tissue, leaving the scalp area bare and shiny. Atrophied hair follicles do not respond to any product or medication.
