The conversation is about using DIY topical metformin for hair loss. A user tried it without success, and it was not combined with microneedling.

The user has been using a combination of 0.3% topical finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, and microneedling once a week for two months with positive results and no side effects. They apply the treatment daily using a spray and have short hair, which makes application easier.

Oral minoxidil is claimed to be more effective and easier to use than topical minoxidil, with a 100% response rate, but it may cause unwanted body hair growth and has potential heart-related side effects. Topical minoxidil is less effective for many due to enzyme limitations, can cause scalp issues, and is more challenging to apply, but it avoids systemic side effects.

The user has been using oral Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Biotin for hair recovery and is considering adding topical Minoxidil and dermastamping to improve results. It is suggested to use micro-needling once a week with a 24-hour gap before applying topical Minoxidil.

The user reported significant hair regrowth after seven months using topical minoxidil 5% combined with 0.1% finasteride and weekly micro needling. The community responded positively, noting visible improvement and discussing the effectiveness of topical versus oral finasteride.

Crushing spironolactone pills and combining them with minoxidil for topical application may be effective for hair loss, with the addition of finasteride suggested. Adding rosemary and peppermint oils can help mask the unpleasant smell.

The user discusses using essential oils like peppermint, rosemary, tea tree, and lavender to improve hair thickness and seborrheic dermatitis. They plan to add RU58841 to their routine and seek advice on using it alongside the essential oils without interference.

A user shared progress on treating female pattern baldness with a topical solution containing Minoxidil, Dutasteride, Tretinoin, Ketoconazole, and Hydrocortisone, along with supplements like Collagen Peptides, NAC, Vitamin C, and Keratin. Another user commented on the impressive results, noting the use of topical Dutasteride.

Topical finasteride with hydroxypropyl chitosan shows significantly less serum absorption and minimal DHT reduction compared to oral finasteride. Users need the specific chitosan formulation to avoid side effects seen with regular ethanol+PG solutions.

Topical dutasteride is suggested as a low side-effect treatment for hair loss, with a proposed dose of 0.025% 1ml/day. It is considered better than finasteride due to its even inhibition of DHT isoforms and lower systemic absorption.

The user seeks alternatives to Propylene Glycol (PG) for delivering topical finasteride due to scalp irritation. They consider using Propanediol 1,3 and ask for other suggestions.

An 18-year-old male experienced positive results with oral finasteride but stopped due to side effects and is now trying homemade low-dose (0.01%) topical finasteride mixed with liquid minoxidil to manage hair loss. He seeks feedback on the effectiveness of this DIY topical treatment.

A 28-year-old male uses custom-compounded topical solutions with Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Tretinoin for hair loss maintenance. He seeks advice on sourcing similar solutions in Bangkok, Thailand, and whether a local prescription is needed.

The user has been using topical 0.3% finasteride, 5% minoxidil, and Nizoral for 5 months and is questioning if they are experiencing hair regrowth. The conversation revolves around identifying potential hair regrowth.

A new topical treatment, PP405, shows promising results for hair regrowth, potentially outperforming existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. However, it may still need to be combined with DHT blockers for optimal results, and its long-term effectiveness remains uncertain.

The conversation is about using melatonin for hair loss treatment, questioning whether to mix oral melatonin with minoxidil or to apply a melatonin tincture directly to the scalp.

The user is seeking an alternative to DualGen 15 that includes Minoxidil and Retinol but is less sticky and more convenient to use. They find the current product inconvenient due to its stickiness and long wait time before washing.

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of adding topical caffeine serum to a hair loss treatment routine that includes minoxidil and finasteride. Users suggest alternatives like stemoxidine, alphatradiol, and pyrilutamide, noting that evidence for caffeine's effectiveness is weak.

Topical Calcipotriol (vitamin D derivative) may help with hair regrowth, especially for alopecia areata. The user wonders if adding classic vitamin D to lotions like Minoxidil could have a similar effect.

The conversation is about a homemade hair loss treatment serum containing Procyanidin B2, Aloe Vera Gel, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, and Rosemary Essential Oil. The main concern is finding an affordable source of Procyanidin B2 and ensuring its stability in the serum at room temperature.

The conversation discusses the best ethanol and propylene glycol ratio for homemade topical finasteride, with a focus on absorption and drying issues. The user shares their experience using a 50% propylene glycol, 30% ethanol, and 20% water solution, and considers adjusting the ethanol content for better results.

Hair loss discussion includes treatments like hinoki tree oil and procyanidin b2. Experiences and effectiveness of these treatments are shared.

Hair loss treatments discussed include progesterone and topical spironolactone. Topical spironolactone found more effective than finasteride.

Topical dutasteride with microneedling is effective for androgenetic alopecia, improving hair thickness and density. Further research is needed to confirm long-term efficacy.

The conversation discusses hair regrowth progress using topical dutasteride with cetirizine, laser therapy, and growth serum. The user observes miniaturized, vellus hairs on the scalp.

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of different concentrations and dosages of topical finasteride on scalp and serum DHT levels, comparing it to oral finasteride and noting the side effects seem to be fewer at lower dosages. Participants shared experiences and referenced a chart indicating similar scalp DHT reduction with 0.025% topical finasteride as with 1mg oral finasteride, but with fewer side effects.

Melatonin at a 0.0033% concentration shows results for hair loss when used topically. A user is discussing how to replicate this by adding 2mg of Melatonin to 60ml of Minoxidil solution.
