Dutasteride / Bicalutamide Injections
Dutasteride and Bicalutamide injections are advanced medical treatments used to manage hair loss, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia and hormonal hair loss. Dutasteride works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing hair thinning. Bicalutamide, on the other hand, is an anti-androgen medication that blocks the effect of androgens on hair follicles. When administered as injections, these medications provide targeted therapy, often resulting in better absorption and more effective control of hair loss compared to oral medications. These treatments are typically recommended under careful medical supervision and may be combined with other hair restoration therapies for optimal results.
