Dutasteride Mesotherapy in London
“Dutasteride mesotherapy is one of the newest evidence base treatments to help treat hair thinning and loss”

What is dutasteride mesotherapy?
Dutasteride mesotherapy is a treatment for hair thinning and loss. The treatment involves localised injections of dutasteride to the hair follicles where it is needed the most, enhancing hair regrowth and overall hair density. An important benefit of this approach is the reduction of systemic side effects often associated with oral dutasteride, making it a valuable option for individuals seeking to improve the quality and thickness of their hair.

How does dutasteride mesotherapy work?
Both Finasteride (also known as ‘Propecia’) and Dutasteride are well known for their ability to inhibit the active form of testosterone DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Recent research has indicated that Dutasteride may offer superior results compared to finasteride, particularly in terms of achieving thicker hair.
DHT plays a pivotal role in hair loss, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair thinning). Blocking its influence can stimulate hair regrowth and mitigate further hair loss.
By injecting Dutasteride to the hair follicles, the Dutasteride inhibits the effect that DHT has on the hair follicles. This is how Dutasteride works to effectively thicken and grow hair.

The main part of the procedure involves the precise injection of Dutasteride directly into the scalp where hair loss or hair thinning has occurred. After treatment, you can return immediately to normal daily activities.
The general recommendation for treatment involves a series of 6-8 sessions, with each session spaced approximately four weeks apart. The precise number of treatments required can differ from one individual to another. In cases where further hair miniaturisation and thinning occur, additional treatments can be considered to address these specific concerns.
The process of improving hair thickness growth is a gradual one. Within the initial two months of treatment, you may notice the early signs of improvement. These may include enhanced hair thickness and length, along with a reduction in hair shedding. To achieve the best results, it may take up to six months of treatment.
Dutasteride is a relatively large molecule. When administered through mesotherapy injections into the scalp, it primarily targets the hair follicles locally. Importantly, this localised approach minimises the risk of systemic absorption, which is associated with potential side effects when Dutasteride if taken orally. This means that Dutasteride mesotherapy is designed to provide hair-related benefits without the broader systemic impact often seen with oral administration.
The procedure is brief, taking less than 30 minutes, and typically entails minimal to no downtime. After the treatment, you can readily resume your regular activities without delay.
Your suitability for Dutasteride mesotherapy largely depends on the underlying cause of your hair thinning or hair loss. If you are experiencing hair loss, particularly in the early stages, you are likely a good candidate for Dutasteride mesotherapy. The treatment tends to be most effective when the hair follicles are still healthy and capable of regrowth. Dutasteride mesotherapy is typically most effective for androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness. However, it can also be used for the less common types of alopecia.
