    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 has been using a combination spray with 0.1% finasteride, 5% minoxidil, and tretinoin for over a year but feels their hairline has worsened. They are considering increasing the concentration of finasteride and adding 5% minoxidil once a day, while another user suggests trying oral finasteride for potentially better results.

      The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically using 5% minoxidil foam, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D, with suggestions to add oral finasteride and minoxidil for better results. Concerns about side effects, particularly from finasteride, and the need for a DHT blocker are also highlighted.

      The conversation discusses using a 0.03% topical Dutasteride solution for hair loss, as it may be more effective than Finasteride with fewer systemic side effects. OP plans to apply it daily for 100 days, then reduce frequency, due to past negative cognitive effects from oral treatments.

      community How come topical finasteride even works at all?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  29 upvotes 3 weeks ago
      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.
