A 23-year-old discusses their hair loss treatment using finasteride, dutasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, and topical tretinoin under medical supervision. They stress stabilizing hair loss before a hair transplant and plan to continue the regimen for at least 18 months.
community Dermatologist didn’t want to write for Dutasteride and oral minox, instead gave me script for this 12.5% minox with tretinoin,azelaic acid, and topical finasteride. It’s 55$ a month, is it worth it?
The conversation discusses a prescribed hair loss treatment combining 12.5% minoxidil with tretinoin, azelaic acid, and topical finasteride, costing $55 a month. One user criticizes the packaging for degrading tretinoin, another suggests it's an overpriced option and recommends topical dutasteride as an alternative due to its higher molecular weight and lower systemic absorption.
community Topical tretinoin increases minoxidil absorption by 3x. Thoughts?
Topical tretinoin can increase the absorption of minoxidil by three times, which may enhance its effectiveness for hair loss treatment. Tretinoin causes increased skin turnover, making the skin more permeable and potentially improving minoxidil's efficacy.
community How I treat my hairloss with dutasteride, minoxidil and tretinoin for around £280 a year (UK)
The user treats hair loss with dutasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin for about £280 a year by using dutasteride weekly due to its long half-life, while using minoxidil daily. Concerns about the shelf life and absorption of topical treatments were discussed, with some users suggesting alternative sources for these products.
community Tretinoin can enhance the skin permeability of Minoxidil approximately 3-fold at 0.05%[24] and itself has some hair regrowth properties.
The conversation discusses enhancing Minoxidil absorption for hair loss treatment using Tretinoin and MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane). The user is seeking sources for Tretinoin and mentions MSM's potential to improve the absorption of topical agents.
