TLDR Dutasteride injections may be a future option for treating hair loss.

The document discussed the emergence of new therapeutic approaches for managing androgenetic alopecia (AGA), highlighting the use of topical finasteride, oral minoxidil, and particularly the intradermal application of dutasteride. A clinical trial conducted by Abdallah et al. in 2009 evaluated the efficacy and safety of 0.05% dutasteride solution injections in male AGA patients. In this study, 28 patients participated, with 14 receiving a total of 7 sessions. This represented a shift in treatment paradigms for AGA.

research Prescribing Habits for Androgenic Alopecia Among Dermatologists in Spain in 2017: A Cross-Sectional Study

5 citations , June 2018 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas”

In 2017, Spanish dermatologists commonly prescribed topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and nutricosmetics for hair loss, with oral contraceptives also used for premenopausal women. Less common were oral dutasteride, due to side effects, and newer, more expensive treatments like topical finasteride and Low-Level Laser Therapy. The conclusion is that there's a need for prescription guidelines due to varied treatment approaches.
