Dutasteride microneedling

Dutasteride microneedling on the scalp involves the topical application of dutasteride, a medication used to treat hair loss, followed by microneedling. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the scalp, allowing for better absorption of dutasteride and stimulating hair follicle activity. This combination therapy aims to improve hair growth and thickness in individuals with androgenetic alopecia or other forms of hair loss.

Indications:
Dutasteride microneedling is indicated for individuals experiencing hair loss, particularly those with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). It may also be suitable for individuals with androgenetic alopecia, also called the hormonal cause of hair loss in males and in females having PCOS, menopause, or other forms of hair thinning where dutasteride is deemed appropriate by a doctor.
