The conversation is about formulating a solvent for topical finasteride without using propylene glycol. Suggestions include using ethanol, glycerin, and distilled water in various ratios, with some discussion on the use of emulsifiers.

User creates 0.1% topical finasteride solution using Alfatradiol Avixis base. Seeks help to ensure alfatradiol base dissolves finasteride.

The conversation is about using distilled water as a solvent for topical finasteride to reduce systemic absorption. The user is considering avoiding ethanol and propylene glycol to achieve this.

Topical finasteride in a liposomal formulation reduces systemic absorption compared to ethanol solutions. The user is seeking sources for such products, noting that popular options like morr-f are not liposomal.

The user is seeking an alternative solvent for pyrilutamide due to skin irritation from ethanol and propylene glycol. They experienced similar issues with topical minoxidil.

OP is trying to dissolve finasteride powder for a topical solution but faces issues with it not dissolving properly in ethanol or water. Users suggest methods like using a magnetic stirrer, shaking the mixture, or filtering out fillers, with some noting that finasteride is soluble in alcohol.

PP405 and JXL-069 are the same compound, but users experienced no results due to flawed application methods. The topical gel formulation of PP405 is designed to target hair follicle stem cells effectively, unlike liquid solutions that fail to penetrate deeply.

PP405 is advancing to Phase 2b trials, showing promise from Phase 2a. It may be available in 3-6 years, with trials using a topical gel.

The conversation is about making a topical solution from clascoterone powder, with references to using a RU58841 mixing guide for guidance. Concerns about product authenticity and bulk purchase requirements are also discussed.

The conversation is about finding a Duta solution without PG, DMSO, glycerin, or oils, using only ethanol or alcohol. It suggests that such a solution may need to be made personally, as it is not readily available.

The conversation discusses using glycerin instead of propylene glycol as a vehicle for topical finasteride, with concerns about glycerin causing skin issues. A suggestion is made to use a mixture of 60% ethanol, 20% glycerin, and 20% water to mitigate these concerns.

Keratin fusion bonds are discussed as an alternative to clip-on hair patches for men with diffused thinning. The conversation explores different styling options for hair loss.

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.

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

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 discusses using Rogain foam as a solvent for topical finasteride due to an allergy to propylene glycol. The foam's ingredients, including alcohol SD 40B, are considered suitable for dissolving finasteride for easier application without skin irritation.

The conversation is about creating a homemade solution to dilute topical finasteride using ethanol, propylene glycol, and emulsifiers. The user seeks advice on the exact percentages needed for the solution.

The conversation is about recreating a solvent for hair loss treatments, discussing the use of water, ethanol, glycerin, dimethyl isosorbide, and polysorbate 20. The effectiveness of these solvents depends on the solubility of the substances being dissolved.

A user is making a topical finasteride solution with 0.01% finasteride, 50% ethanol, 15% glycerine, and 35% water, but it doesn't adhere well to the scalp. They seek advice on improving the mixture's consistency without taking oral pills.

PP405's phase 2a trial results were presented, focusing on safety and pharmacokinetics, with a future meeting planned to share the full dataset. The trial includes a randomized controlled portion and an open-label extension, with no indication of phase 2B completion.

OP has been using alfatradiol and a mix of rosemary, peppermint, and jojoba oils for hair loss, with inconsistent dermapen sessions. They plan to add topical finasteride at 0.025% later.

The conversation discusses finding a PG-free solvent for dissolving RU58841 in the UK, with glycerin suggested as a potential alternative. Water is also mentioned as a possible option.

The conversation is about dissolving Dutasteride in propylene glycol for hair loss treatment, with concerns about solubility at 0°C. It suggests using a 0.025% concentration for topical application.

A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

The user wants to make a topical finasteride solution using wound cleanser with 70% IPA and add 40% propylene glycol due to headaches from minoxidil. They seek advice on using the wound cleanser and recommendations for pharmaceutical/cosmetic grade IPA in India.

Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.

Verteporfin is being discussed for its potential to regrow hair and heal scars, possibly aiding hair transplants or replacing them. Some users are skeptical about its effectiveness, while others suggest combining it with microneedling for better results.

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.

The conversation is about a person considering making their own topical finasteride to avoid side effects from oral use. They discuss potential methods and ingredients, including cayenne pepper extract, rosemary, and coconut oil, and seek advice on effectiveness and alternatives like light therapy or dermarolling.
