Dutasteride Mesotherapy
What is Dutasteride Mesotherapy?
Dutasteride: Minimal amounts of dutasteride are directly administered to the patient’s scalp as part of the mesotherapy medical treatment for hair loss. Dutasteride is a DHT (dihydrotestosterone) blocker with a proven clinical effect in the field of androgenetic alopecia and thus hair restoration.
Dutasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for the hormonal hair follicle miniaturization and is the main factor of androgenetic alopecia. Such a local response to the injected dosage is more beneficial so that systemic side effects are minimized or even not occur at all.
Symptoms Treated by Dutasteride Mesotherapy:
- Progressive thinning on the crown or top of the scalp
- Receding hairline in men and women
- Hair miniaturization (weaker, finer strands)
- Reduced hair density or volume
- Stubborn hair loss resistant to topical treatments
Causes of Hair Loss It Helps With:
- Androgenetic Alopecia (Male & Female Pattern Baldness)
- Hormonal Imbalance (including PCOS-related hair fall)
- Post-pregnancy or age-related hair loss
- Chronic DHT sensitivity
- Hair loss due to long-term stress or medications
How Dutasteride Mesotherapy Works:
- Scalp Assessment: Areas with thinning or active hair loss are identified.
- Micro-injections: Small doses of dutasteride are injected precisely into the affected scalp regions using a mesotherapy device or microneedles.
- Localized Action: The drug stays concentrated in the scalp, directly blocking DHT at the follicle level without affecting the whole body.
Treatment Plan:
- Frequency: One session every 4–6 weeks
- Duration: 3–6 sessions depending on the severity of hair loss
- Maintenance: Once every 6–12 months for long-term results
Benefits of Dutasteride Mesotherapy:
- Direct DHT inhibition at the follicular level
- More effective than oral finasteride or minoxidil in many cases
- Minimal side effects compared to oral medications
- Slows or stops hair loss progression
- Promotes regrowth in dormant hair follicles
- Can be combined with PRP or GFC for enhanced outcomes
