Influence of Lipid Pattern and Epidermal Morphology on Transdermal Permeation Rates in In-Vitro Experiments

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

Ethosomes are suggested as an effective delivery method for topical finasteride solutions, requiring the addition of a phospholipid like soya lecithins. The user questions why do-it-yourself solutions don't commonly use ethosomes despite their potential benefits.

Topical finasteride in a liposomal formulation reduces systemic absorption compared to ethanol solutions. The user is seeking sources for such products, noting that popular options like morr-f are not liposomal.

The conversation discusses the best vehicle for topical dutasteride, comparing Trichosol, Transcutol, and a gel version. It also mentions using Transcutol with ethanol to enhance transdermal delivery of Bimatoprost.

Liposomal carriers for topical finasteride offer better targeting, reduced side effects, and less irritation compared to alcohol-based solutions, but availability and cost may limit their use. Minoxidil can dissolve in liposomal carriers, enhancing delivery and stability.

The conversation discusses using topical dutasteride with a dermapen for hair loss treatment. The user is deciding between liposomal and mesosomal formulations for this purpose.
