Hair loss is rarely a matter of chance.
In a great many patients, the underlying cause is androgenetic alopecia — a condition in which the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) gradually weakens the hair follicles, shortens the growth phase and leads to their miniaturisation.
This is why so many treatments deliver only limited results — they do not address the cause.
Dutasteride therapy represents one of the most powerful medical approaches available for bringing this process under control.
Dutasteride acts as an inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase types I and II, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT.
When applied to the scalp, it enables:
- a reduction in local DHT levels
- protection of the hair follicles
- slowing the progression of hair loss
- creating the conditions for renewed growth
The result is not immediate — but it is fundamental, precisely targeted and sustainable in the long term.
This is not a cosmetic treatment — it is a therapy that addresses the cause of androgenetic hair loss.
How is the treatment performed?
The therapy is administered by delivering dutasteride into the scalp through precise micro-injections.
This allows for:
- localised action on the follicles
- reduced systemic exposure
- targeted treatment of problematic areas
Its action includes:
- inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase
- reduction of DHT within the scalp
- preservation and strengthening of the follicles
For optimal results, the therapy is often combined with:
- Angel PRP (Arthrex) for stimulation of hair growth
- exosomes for advanced regeneration
- polynucleotides (Plinest Hair) for tissue renewal
- scalp biorevitalisation for nutritional support
- dermatologist-led topical therapies
Who is the treatment for?
Dutasteride therapy is indicated in cases of:
- androgenetic alopecia (in both men and women)
- progressive hair loss
- thinning of the hair across the frontal and crown regions
The ideal candidates are patients who:
- wish to address the underlying cause of hair loss
- are noticing a progression of alopecia
- seek long-term control of the condition
When are results visible?
Results unfold gradually:
- first effect → reduced shedding
- over the course of several months → stabilisation of the condition
- over time → improvement in density
It is important to emphasise:
the therapy works through the biological cycles of hair growth, which require time.
Recovery and precautions
The treatment involves minimal downtime.
You may experience:
- mild tenderness of the scalp
- redness
- tiny pinpoint marks at the application sites
We recommend that you:
- refrain from washing your hair for 24 hours
- avoid physical activity on the day of the treatment
- follow your doctor’s instructions
Preparing for the treatment
Before the treatment:
- arrive with a clean scalp
- avoid alcohol
- inform your doctor of any medications you are taking and of your overall state of health
Where required, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied.
Our approach
Dutasteride therapy demands genuine medical precision.
At our clinic, it is performed by experienced consultant dermatologists, with:
- a precise diagnosis of the type of alopecia
- a bespoke treatment plan
- ongoing monitoring of results over time
For our patients, we provide what truly matters in cases such as these:
- a clear understanding of the therapy
- realistic expectations
- safety and considered control
Because treating hair loss is not a swift process — it is a strategy that must be guided by medical expertise.
