    TLDR Nanoemulgel could be a promising new treatment for hair loss.
    The document from 2017 reviewed the potential of topical nanoemulgel as a promising treatment for alopecia areata, emphasizing its advantages in enhancing the solubility and permeability of active ingredients like Minoxidil. Nanoemulgel formulations were suggested to improve drug delivery to hair follicles, potentially leading to better treatment outcomes. The review covered the preparation, physicochemical properties, and characterization of nanoemulgel, as well as its benefits for localized drug delivery, including controlled and sustained release, and suitability for self-medication. It also addressed the need for more convincing studies in the hair loss treatment market and presented various studies and tests conducted on nanoemulgels to evaluate their properties and effectiveness, concluding the importance of understanding hair fiber composition and follicular targeting for developing effective hair care products.

      The user started using topical finasteride 0.025% and minoxidil 5% twice daily, seeing initial improvement but later experiencing shedding and scalp pain. They are considering increasing the finasteride dose to 0.05% while using keto shampoo and dermarolling, and are debating the effectiveness of low versus standard doses of finasteride.

      The user is considering starting a topical treatment for hair loss, using a spray containing 0.3% finasteride, 5% minoxidil, and 0.01% tretinoin. They are questioning the dosage and considering reducing the application to achieve 0.15% finasteride and 5% minoxidil.

      Topical finasteride and minoxidil are not effective for the user, who is considering switching to oral treatments like finasteride or dutasteride. Many suggest oral medications are more effective, and some recommend additional treatments like microneedling and other topical solutions.
