The conversation discusses making a topical finasteride solution by grinding finasteride pills and dissolving them in minoxidil, with concerns about filtering out filler. Users share methods for improving the solution's purity and discuss alternative products like Essengen-F.

The conversation is about using Verteporfin with microneedling as a potential hair loss treatment that may regenerate hair follicles with minimal scarring. There are concerns about the optimal dosage and the DHT sensitivity of the new follicles.

The conversation is about applying topical finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss. OP prefers using a droplet applicator for efficiency, while another user prefers foam to avoid dripping.

The conversation discusses concerns about the solubility and stability of topical finasteride (Fynzur) when diluted with ethanol and distilled water, without propylene glycol. The user is worried about the even distribution of finasteride in the solution.

Exosomes, cetirizine, melatonin, latanoprost, and caffeine are discussed as potential hair loss treatments. There is skepticism about the effectiveness of exosomes, especially in topical form, but some users report positive results.

The conversation discusses two methods for making topical finasteride: using ethanol and propylene glycol or mixing it with topical minoxidil. The focus is on solubility and absorption, with a suggestion to crush pills finely and possibly mix with minoxidil at a slightly elevated temperature.

Using roll-on bottles for applying minoxidil and RU58841 improves application efficiency and reduces product waste. Topical treatments are used continuously, except on microneedling days.

The conversation is about diluting topical finasteride with propylene glycol to achieve a lower dosage. The user is skeptical of the compounding pharmacy's advice against self-dilution.

Creating a topical solution combining finasteride and stemoxydine to treat hair loss, and the discussion of whether 15mg of finasteride would be sufficient for 60ml solvent.

The conversation discusses DIY topical finasteride, with users sharing experiences and advice on dissolving crushed pills in a solvent. Some recommend using raw finasteride powder or buying pre-made solutions for better stability and effectiveness.

Liposomal carriers for topical finasteride and minoxidil may reduce side effects and scalp irritation compared to traditional ethanol and propylene glycol carriers. The main drawback is the higher cost.

The user is using 0.1% dutasteride, 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.005% caffeine in the morning, and 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.01% tretinoin at night. They are concerned about the solution vehicle's effectiveness in preventing systemic absorption and ensuring the products stay around the hair follicles.

Users discuss making topical finasteride solutions by dissolving crushed tablets in ethanol and propylene glycol, with concerns about residue affecting effectiveness. They also mention using minoxidil and oral finasteride, noting some hair regrowth and no side effects from topical use.

The conversation is about using a topical finasteride solution without minoxidil to avoid side effects, with suggestions to use alternatives like a PG solvent or Stemox. There is also a mention of mixing finasteride with fisetin powder in the solvent.

A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.

The conversation discusses the possibility of creating liposomal topical finasteride at home or at a local pharmacy, questioning if it is an expensive or proprietary technology. It also mentions making topical finasteride using alcohol and propylene glycol.

Topical finasteride's effectiveness and absorption may be influenced by the presence of propylene glycol and ethanol. Ethanol increases minoxidil absorption, but finasteride's solubility and absorption need further research.

The conversation discusses using a low dose of topical finasteride to achieve hair benefits with minimal systemic exposure. Users share experiences and opinions on dosing, systemic buildup, and side effects of both topical and oral finasteride.

Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.

Finasteride pills don't fully dissolve in a DIY topical solution due to fillers, resulting in residue. Users suggest shaking well before application and note that commercial solutions appear clearer.

Microneedling before applying topical finasteride or dutasteride may enhance their effectiveness by increasing local absorption in the scalp, despite concerns about systemic absorption. Users discuss combining this method with oral treatments and minoxidil, noting potential benefits and side effects.

A user is exploring making a low-dose topical finasteride solution without minoxidil, using stemoxydine as a vehicle. Others suggest buying from a supplier instead of making it themselves.

Peptides are being considered for microneedling, with suggestions to mix them with a water-based serum like Estee Lauder night repair, but not with water. A user switched from minoxidil and derma roller to a brand called Mikro for its cleaner application and natural ingredients.
