Mesotherapy With Dutasteride for Androgenetic Alopecia: A Concise Review of the Literature
February 2023
in “European Journal of Dermatology”
TLDR The document concludes that injecting dutasteride into the skin (mesotherapy) can effectively treat common hair loss in both men and women.
The document reviews the use of mesotherapy with dutasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss. Anti-androgens, including dutasteride, have been found to be highly effective in treating this condition in both men and women. Mesotherapy, which involves injecting small amounts of medication directly into the skin, is an off-label technique that can be a viable alternative for patients who are afraid of, refuse, or poorly tolerate systemic anti-androgen treatment.
