5 / 5 resultscommunity Microneedling and Topical Finasteride Application Wait Time
The conversation is about the appropriate wait time to apply topical finasteride after microneedling to prevent it from going systemic. The user is combining finasteride with minoxidil and is unsure whether to wait 24 or 48 hours after microneedling before applying the treatment.
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.
community Finasteride Pills Not Dissolving for Topical Finasteride Application
Finasteride pills don't fully dissolve in a DIY topical solution due to fillers, resulting in residue. Users suggest shaking well before application and note that commercial solutions appear clearer.
community (23M) 8 months of progress - Topical Finasteride 0.1%, and Minoxidil 5% [Daily Application]
A 23-year-old male shared his 8-month progress using topical finasteride 0.1% and minoxidil 5% daily for hair loss, showing significant improvement. He mentioned experiencing occasional scalp itch but no other side effects, and noted that maintaining results requires lifelong treatment.
community Concerns regarding topical fin application
Topical finasteride, specifically Fynzur spray, is used for diffuse thinning in long hair, but many find the cone applicator ineffective and suggest applying directly to the scalp. Some users recommend oral finasteride for more even results, while others combine it with minoxidil for better effectiveness.
