Khadavi’s Personal Story
Dr.
Khadavi became concerned about his own hair loss when
he began balding at the age of 20. At that time, the only
product available for female and male hair loss was prescription
Rogaine. Dr. Khadavi says, “My moment of enlightenment
was when I learned that dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, was
the key hormone that began the whole cascade of events
that leads to hair loss in women and men.” After
that, Dr. Khadavi continued to experiment with pharmaceutical
and natural DHT blockers for the treatment of hair loss,
which eventually led to the development of Revivogen |
