5 / 923 resultscommunity Is it ok to use minoxidil and other topicals simultaneously?
The conversation is about whether it's safe to use minoxidil with a mix of stemoxydine, RU58841, alfatradiol, and tretinoin at the same time for hair loss treatment. Concerns were raised about the absorption and effectiveness when these treatments are applied together.
community How come topical fin doesn't deliver superior results when it suppresses scalp DHT more effectively than oral?
Topical finasteride is believed to reduce scalp DHT more than oral forms, but its effectiveness is questioned due to inconsistent application and absorption. Oral finasteride is considered more effective because it consistently reduces systemic DHT, ensuring more reliable results.
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 Lion Mane Part 2: Microneedling with Topicals, beneficial compounds, maybe?
The conversation discusses microneedling techniques and the use of Minoxidil, copper peptides, EGF, FGF, ceramides, and hydration serums to enhance hair growth. It explores optimizing scalp conditions and the potential benefits of various compounds in conjunction with microneedling.
community Science backed answer only from what you have learnt .
Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.
