How it works

Clascoterone is a topical competitive antagonist of androgen receptors at the hair follicle. Unlike Finasteride which reduces systemic DHT production, Clascoterone blocks DHT from binding to follicle receptors locally - without affecting systemic hormone levels. This makes it relevant for men concerned about Finasteride side effects and for women.

Clinical evidence

Phase III trials showed statistically significant reduction in hair loss progression vs placebo at 24 weeks. The effect is stabilising - slows progression rather than reversing established baldness. It is not a surgical alternative and does not restore significant density in established bald areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AI used in hair transplant surgery?

Yes. AI is used for trichoscopy donor density mapping, graft count estimation from photographs, and digital hairline design simulation. At Hairmedico, AI-assisted trichoscopy is part of the Algorithmic FUE planning process. Robotic extraction is not used — Dr. Arslan's manual FUE achieves lower transection rates across all hair types.

Can AI predict hair transplant results?

AI simulation tools can show proposed hairline positions on photographs, but cannot predict actual graft survival (depends on surgeon quality), actual density (depends on hair calibre), or how the result interacts with future native hair loss. They are design communication aids, not result guarantees.

Will AI replace hair transplant surgeons?

Not in the foreseeable future. AI adds value in data analysis (density mapping, graft counting) but cannot replace the aesthetic judgment required for natural hairline design, the technical adaptation required for diverse hair types, or the long-term clinical planning that accounts for individual hair loss trajectories.
