Hi all. I am 27 years old and have sparse and very thin hair since birth. For you to understand, my head is translucent in the sun. In addition, I was diagnosed with stage 1 hair loss according to Norwood. I have now been taking finasteride (2.5 mg per day) for almost 2 years now and my DHT is 850, without finasteride it is 1300 - 1400. Also, 2 years ago I started using 5% minoxidil, but because of it useless for me, I start taking it less and less to stip using.
There is a theory that in addition to congenital sparse hair, DHT affects their thickness. For example, on my bankenwards, the hair is a little thicker and darker than on the rest of the head. I have already decided to do a hair transplant to thicken the front line and top of the head a little. And when I went to my trichologist with this question, she adviced not to rush with a transplant, but try Dutabiot.
Dutabiot is dutasteride which is used as mesotherapy. That is, they are injected into the head. As a result, I have a number of questions:
I really hope to hear feedback on this drug. For Ukraine, it is new, and therefore in my country I cannot find people who used it.
P.S. I want to apologize for my English

Dutabiot is dutasteride which is used as mesotherapy. That is, they are injected into the head. As a result, I have a number of questions:
- Of course I want to know if it is effective. I do not really trust the statements of private doctors and I would like to hear the opinion of those who take this medicine and what is the result?
- I am from Ukraine and the private clinic I go to for a consultation with a trichologist is legal. But as far as I know, Dutabiot is not approved by the FDA. So how is it possible that it is used in clinics? Or is my information wrong?
- From the description on reddit and other resources, Dutabiot is taken in such doses: the first 5 procedures once a week, then 2 - 3 procedures once a month, and after that 1 procedure every 1 - 3 months. My trichologist said that need uses Dutabiot once every 3 months. And immediately the question is, is it effective at all? It's seems too little. The doctor did not even offer another alternative.
I really hope to hear feedback on this drug. For Ukraine, it is new, and therefore in my country I cannot find people who used it.
