Dutasteride
Enhancing Hair Restoration: The Role of Dutasteride and Bicalutamide
Overview: Dutasteride and Bicalutamide are emerging as effective options in the fight against androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Both medications target different mechanisms to promote hair growth and improve scalp health, providing patients with a comprehensive approach to hair restoration.
Dutasteride: A Potent DHT Inhibitor
Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that effectively blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a key hormone linked to hair loss. Here are some key benefits of Dutasteride:
- Higher Potency: Dutasteride inhibits both type I and type II isoforms of the enzyme, making it approximately three times more potent than Finasteride.
- Effective Administration: Administered through mesotherapy, it allows for localized treatment, reducing systemic side effects.
- Impressive Results: Clinical studies show up to 86% improvement in hair density among patients undergoing Dutasteride therapy.
