The conversation is about whether to use gloves when applying 5% RU58841 to avoid systemicabsorption and if washing hands with water is sufficient. Users question the concern, noting it is applied to the scalp.
Topical RU58841 is discussed for hair loss treatment, with a focus on brands available in Europe that have low systemicabsorption. Users suggest mixing your own solution to control vehicle and dosage, and mention different brands like Actifolic and Biolabshop.
Microneedling before applying topical finasteride or dutasteride may enhance their effectiveness by increasing local absorption in the scalp, despite concerns about systemicabsorption. Users discuss combining this method with oral treatments and minoxidil, noting potential benefits and side effects.
Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
The conversation is about the systemicabsorption of Minoxidil and the potential switch from topical to oral Minoxidil due to its effectiveness. The user considers oral Minoxidil after experiencing no side effects from a year of using 15% topical Minoxidil.
The conversation is about using distilled water as a solvent for topical finasteride to reduce systemicabsorption. The user is considering avoiding ethanol and propylene glycol to achieve this.
A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemicabsorption.
The conversation discusses the potential of using topical estrogen treatments for hair loss without systemicabsorption, highlighting challenges and possible solutions like using estriol. It also mentions other treatments like topical finasteride, microneedling, and scalp massage, while noting the limitations and side effects of current options.
Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively in hair follicles than finasteride, but some individuals still experience hair loss despite treatment. Combining oral and topical finasteride may improve results, and some users experiment with topical dutasteride despite uncertainties about its absorption.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness and systemicabsorption of Topilutamide/Fluridil/Eucapil and topical Dutasteride for hair loss. Users are sharing their experiences and seeking success stories with these treatments.
Topical finasteride in a liposomal formulation reduces systemicabsorption compared to ethanol solutions. The user is seeking sources for such products, noting that popular options like morr-f are not liposomal.
Switching from propylene glycol to glycerin in topical finasteride may reduce systemicabsorption and side effects while maintaining local scalp DHT suppression. Concerns exist about glycerin's ability to deliver the full dose to hair follicles.
Topical minoxidil can cause increased body hair due to systemicabsorption, varying by individual skin sensitivity. The user seeks experiences and solutions to prevent this side effect.
Dr. Kyle Gillet mentioned on Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast that dutasteride mesotherapy blocks DHT conversion only in the scalp and is the most promising topical treatment. Users discussed concerns about systemicabsorption and the practicality of dutasteride injections.
Topical finasteride is considered safer for the liver than oral finasteride due to less systemicabsorption, but regular liver function tests are advised. The user is concerned about liver health due to a history of NAFLD and is exploring topical finasteride as a safer alternative.
Applying minoxidil immediately after microneedling at 0.5mm can cause stinging and potential systemicabsorption, so some users prefer to wait 12-24 hours. Others report no issues with immediate application, but caution is advised to avoid irritation and side effects.
Topical dutasteride is considered for hair loss, but concerns about systemicabsorption and side effects like reduced libido are common. Users have mixed results, with some preferring oral finasteride or dutasteride despite side effects, while others find topical treatments beneficial but challenging.
The conversation discusses the potential benefits of creating a hydrophobic version of finasteride to reduce systemic side effects while maintaining scalp health. It compares this idea to fluridil, which is designed to be hydrophobic and has less systemicabsorption.
Mixing RU58841 with minoxidil compounded with tretinoin is discussed, with concerns about systemicabsorption. Topical dutasteride and finasteride are also mentioned as treatments, with varying personal experiences and concerns about side effects.
Clascoterone 5% topical solution shows promise for treating male-pattern hair loss by blocking DHT at the follicle without systemicabsorption, potentially offering fewer side effects than oral treatments like finasteride. While results are promising, long-term safety and effectiveness need further study, and it may serve as a starting point for developing more effective treatments.
Using both oral and topical minoxidil is likely safe, but be cautious of increased systemicabsorption. The best tretinoin dosage to enhance minoxidil effectiveness is not specified.
User discusses topical liposomal finasteride for hair loss, hoping to avoid breast growth side effect. Conversation includes using minoxidil, fluridil, and dermarolling, and mentions minimal systemicabsorption of liposomal finasteride.
Topical finasteride (P-3074) can inhibit scalp DHT by up to 70%, with some users experiencing systemicabsorption similar to oral use. Users discuss varying application frequencies and concentrations, with some noticing side effects when overused.
GT-20029 is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with concerns about its safety and systemicabsorption compared to finasteride. Users express skepticism about its effectiveness and safety, noting that it may not surpass existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
The conversation discusses finding a finasteride dosage that reduces DHT by about 25% to minimize side effects, with considerations for topical versus oral formulations. Alternatives like dutasteride mesotherapy and topical treatments are explored, with concerns about systemicabsorption and potential impacts on athletic performance and hormone levels.
Daily microneedling at 0.25mm before applying minoxidil is debated, with some suggesting weekly microneedling is safer and more effective. Concerns include potential skin damage and systemicabsorption, while alternatives like tretinoin are considered safer for enhancing minoxidil absorption.
