GlossaryAndrogenic Activity

hormonal effects influencing male traits and hair growth

Androgenic activity refers to the effects that androgens, a group of hormones like testosterone, have on the body. These hormones influence the development and maintenance of male characteristics, such as facial hair and a deeper voice, but they also play a role in hair growth and loss, muscle mass, and overall skin health. In the context of hair, high androgenic activity can lead to conditions like androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness.
