5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Saw a local dermatologist recently, they suggested switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride…
The user experienced hair loss and initially saw improvement with Finasteride but is now considering switching to Dutasteride due to lack of recent results. They plan to add topical Minoxidil and are awaiting biopsy results to determine the cause of hair loss.
community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects
Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
community If half life of fin is 6-8 hours in the blood but 5-6 days in tissue (scalp) why don't people apply topical every 3-4 days to minimize systemic?
The discussion revolves around the frequency of applying topical finasteride for hair loss treatment. The main question is whether applying it every 4-5 days could still be effective, given that its half-life in the scalp tissue is 5-6 days.
community How come topical finasteride even works at all?
Topical finasteride can effectively reduce scalp DHT by targeting local enzymes, despite less systemic impact compared to oral forms. Combining oral dutasteride with topical finasteride and minoxidil may enhance hair loss prevention, though evidence of its effectiveness is limited.
community I think microneedling before topical application of finasteride (or dut) is a path we should investigate (for those of us who don't care about systemic absorption). Here's why...
Microneedling before applying topical finasteride or dutasteride may enhance their effectiveness by increasing local absorption in the scalp, despite concerns about systemic absorption. Users discuss combining this method with oral treatments and minoxidil, noting potential benefits and side effects.
