Dutasteride injections into the scalp are a medical treatment used to manage hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia in men and women.

What is dutasteride ?

Dutasteride is a medication that works by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone involved in the process of hair follicle miniaturization, which is responsible for progressive hair loss.

Traditionally administered orally, dutasteride can also be used in the form of localized injections into the scalp to directly target the affected areas.

Principle of the treatment

The treatment involves administering superficial microinjections of dutasteride into the areas affected by hair loss. This technique allows for:

• targeted action at the hair follicles;
• prolonged local diffusion;
• a potential reduction in systemic side effects associated with oral administration;
• improved hair density and quality.

The injections are administered using very fine needles.

Expected results

• reduced hair loss;

• improved hair density;

• thicker, stronger hair;

• slowed progression of hair loss.

  Results vary depending on the individual patient, the duration of hair loss, and the individual’s response to treatment.
