DHT is a hormone byproduct that can accumulate on the scalp over time. As it builds up, it binds to hair follicles and gradually shrinks them, causing hair to thin, shed, and eventually stop growing. This process is commonly triggered by genetics, including male and female pattern thinning, as well as hormonal shifts such as pregnancy, postpartum changes, and menopause.

Other contributing factors can include stress, illness, diet, and aging. Arise works by removing DHT and helping reactivate the follicle. It is clinically proven to safely neutralize both surface and dermal DHT, supporting a healthier scalp environment for hair growth.

Arise was originally formulated in 1992 by Nisim Haircare — one of the few hair-loss systems with real clinical data behind it, in a category full of unproven claims.

In 2023, Carolyn and Jeff Aronson — the team behind It's a 10 Haircare — acquired the brand. They kept the proven science and gave it a modern formulation and premium packaging. The result is Arise.

"This has been the first brand I truly feel had products with a point of difference and clinicals to back them up."
