The primary difference lies in the delivery method and its implications. Oral Finasteride (and oral Dutasteride) is taken as a daily pill, which works systemically, affecting DHT levels throughout your entire body. While effective, this can increase the risk of side effects.

Dutasteride Mesotherapy, on the other hand, is a targeted treatment. We deliver the medication directly to the hair follicles in the scalp. This localized approach concentrates the treatment where it's needed most, maximizing its hair-restoring potential while significantly minimizing its presence elsewhere in the body, which greatly reduces the risk of systemic side effects.

We prioritize patient comfort. The procedure involves very fine micro-injections into the superficial layer of the scalp. Most patients describe the sensation as very manageable. To ensure a comfortable experience, we offer options such as pre-treatment Tylenol and the use of laughing gas (nitrous oxide) during the procedure.

The hair growth cycle is a gradual process, so patience is key. A personalized treatment plan will be created for you, but a typical protocol involves an initial series of sessions (e.g., 3-4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart) to establish a therapeutic level of medication in the scalp. Following this, maintenance sessions are typically needed every 3-6 months.

Initial results, such as reduced hair shedding, can be noticed within the first couple of months. More visible improvements in hair density and thickness usually appear around the 3-6 month mark, with results continuing to improve over the first year.

There is virtually no downtime. Dutasteride Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows you to return to your daily activities immediately. Some patients may experience mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites, but this typically subsides within 24-48 hours. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, and swimming for the first 24 hours post-treatment.

Absolutely. Dutasteride Mesotherapy is often used as part of a multi-faceted treatment plan. It works by blocking DHT, the primary hormone responsible for hair loss. This can be synergistically combined with other treatments like topical Minoxidil, which promotes blood flow and follicle activity. Combining therapies often yields the most comprehensive and robust results.

Yes, it can be a highly effective option for women experiencing androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss). Because the treatment is localized to the scalp, it avoids the systemic side effects that make oral DHT blockers a concern for women. A thorough consultation and diagnosis are essential to determine if it's the right choice for your specific type of hair loss.

Dutasteride Mesotherapy works by actively protecting your hair follicles from the effects of DHT. If you stop the treatments, this protective effect will diminish over time. The natural process of hair loss that was previously halted will likely resume. For this reason, we recommend adhering to the personalized maintenance schedule created by your specialist to preserve your results long-term.
