Comparative study of topical minoxidil versus topical minoxidil with dutasteride mesotherapy in androgenetic alopecia A one year hospital based randomized control trial at tertiary care hospital

Although Androgenetic alopecia is often regarded as a rather minor dermatological condition, it affects one’s self-esteem and can be a major source of anxiety and depression for some men.Even while practicing dermatologists and hair specialists deal with it frequently, it might be one of the most difficult conditions to cure because choosing a course of therapy frequently requires careful evaluation of many different aspects as well as ethical decision‐making. The most crucial elements to take into account are treatment cost, practicality in terms of promoting compliance, side effect profiles, and effectiveness—especially in light of the chronic nature of the disease.

While hair transplant surgery is an expensive alternative that may not always provide good results requiring numerous procedures to obtain the necessary hair density, medical treatment for AGA may not be suited for all people and may take a long time to show benefits. Therefore, if mesotherapy with dutasteride turns out to be as effective and safe as the current treatment, it might be a tempting substitute.
