A user has been using Hims topical finasteride and minoxidil for seven months, along with micro needling, and is asking if there's an improvement in their hairline. Responses vary, with some seeing progress and others criticizing the photo quality for comparison, but no side effects were reported.
Oral minoxidil is considered more effective for hair regrowth than topical minoxidil, but it carries higher risks. Combining microneedling with topical minoxidil can enhance absorption, but oral minoxidil with microneedling shows significant results.
The conversation is about improving castor oil absorption for hair loss treatment. The user tried ethanol and sweet almond oil mixtures and plans to try DMSO next.
Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.
The conversation discusses creating a 0.01% topical dutasteride solution mixed with minoxidil for hair loss treatment, with concerns about absorption and effectiveness. Some users suggest that dutasteride needs specific formulation for betterabsorption, while others recommend oral use for practicality.
